Atheist morality

Finally they turned on me, tearing my head from my shoulders, hollowing it out, and taking turns using it as a toilet.I'm rather upset by all this, to be sure. But when I stopped believing in God, what else could have happened?

What's the difference between "honest" and "open" ? I'd say, when I'm honest but not open, I tend to meet the same people as when I'm dishonest and not open.But when I'm honest and open, I tend to get taken advantage of.

i feel the need to step in and say that, even as a christian, my morality is not affected in the slightest by my religion.in fact, it's the other way around. I believe in Jesus because I agree with his morals.

Would you say that morality is also what I watch each day? What I think about each day?
Even what I joke about?

. i've always treated other how i want to be treated, i didn't need a 2000 year old invisible man in the sky to tell me that. my parents worked well enough.

2. i am not a christian now. this would be the case if change defines religion. as it turns out, this may actually be case. i seem no longer able to justify my faith with it's own history, and have already rejected a good portion of the new testament as just wrong. however, i still believe, if not in the traditional sense.and i do gather that my faith is rather uncommon. hard to find other people that share it.but basically my position is summed up like this. if god disappeared or didn't exist, i'd still treat other people in the way i feel they'd like to be treated. my relationships with other people are not affected by the presence or absence of my belief in something that is not those other people. nor should it be.

no, if anything i'm a non-kosher jew.although on a recent live-journal-type quize thing that went around, i tested muslim.

Morality is not divorced from spirituality, IMO, because spiritual reality is a part of everyones makeup be they believer or atheist.
Behavior is not improved by profession of spirituality in general..witness divorce stats in and out of church.
Morality is intrinsic because spiritual awareness is intrinsic

Im backing out of this one before it gets complicated. In response to Pink, however, I will say that I am not changing my tune...I just wing it....

You represent atheists, right DHA?

If your theology is not producing fruit in your life, then what good is it to you?

A non-Christian (I prefer pre-Christian)

However, all of the lies, hypocrisy, and deceit of man will never bring the truth of God in Christ Jesus to no effect.

in this sense I agree with you that morals are not in the domain of deductive logic (implying that the same conclusions would always be reached from the same principles) because of the diversity of experience, knowledge and beliefs.
