you all don't really research alternative moral codes before you speak, do you all?
ever hear of utilitarianism? it is not dependent on God(s). what it says, in a nutshell, is this:
you have a man drowning. you have a rescue crew. if they rescue this man, they will all die (including the rescuee). which is better for society? That the rescue crew lives on to save others, or that they all perish, to never be able to help society again?
keep in mind that nutshells do have a way of getting something(s) wrong.
read up on John Stuart Mill, and read his essay on utilitarianism. oh, and as a good shocker, he argues in there that religious moral codes are actually based off of utilitarianism. figure that one out.
oh, and one last thing (I think).
God is not required for absolutes to exist. last I checked, God isn't required for math (unless you are arguing that Noah's flood did happen). Just for an example, mind you.
