For the hundred millionth bazillionth time (give or take a zil), however happy and healthy they may be, atheists cannot be moral. Morality is submission to the decrees of the Creator of the Universe and atheists acknowledge no Creator to submit to. So their whole lives are guided by a narcissistic need to prove themselves "nicer than G-d."

I disagree quite vigorously! Morality is a code of conduct that is defined by the society you are a member of. Some things may be immoral in one society that is perfectly moral in another. No deity needed. Some of that can be defined by a religion, or a philosophy, your heritage, and/or any number of other defining arbiters.

But why is it good to submit to the decrees of the creator of the universe? You've simply pushed the problem one step back.
