The existence or non-existence of supernatural deities is wholly immaterial to my view of morality.

Using your standard of 'morality,' any human being can come up with his or her own standard of right and wrong, as well as what 'hurts' another human being, right?

NAMBLA claims that man/boy sex doesn't hurt anyone. Who's to say that their opinion is wrong?

Fortunately, the Founding Fathers didn't take such a liberal view of morality as you do, and understood that it came from the Creator.

Let's turn it around. If you weren't a Christian, would you molest children? Do you find you have an urge to do so, that your religion helps you resist?

Sure. But human experience show us whether or not such standards work.

We have the ability to do statistical studies on the effects of sexual intercourse between adults and children. No one without an ulterior motive (such as NAMBLA) can seriously claim that 5 year-olds aren't harmed by sex with an adult (both physically and psychologically).
