There is no religious basis for that lot, quite the opposite, so don't give me that "the decalogue is a great way to live", because that sample above looks to me to be a far better way of living than an ancient tablet. That's a fine set of rules, but what reason do you have to follow them? I mean, you have your set of morals, and I believe that you'll follow your morals because you want to follow them, and because you're a moral person. But I see no reason why you should have a binding commitment to a set of morals that have no justification other than your choice to follow them. What basis do you have for saying those things are good? Are they good because you say they are good? Do you have any right to criticise those who follow a different set of moral guidelines? EXACTLY! WHY DO IT IT DOESNT REALLY MATTER IF YOU DO IT OR NOT! yeh exactly, atheists only dont kill other ppl because their afraid of getting caught by the police. if it wasnt for living in a society with laws they would have no one they r accountable to and so they could just kill ppl as and when they wanted. god is the only reason to be good. atheists only have those morals because of god and growing up in a society which god rules over.
