Atheists.... do you have any morals? If so, how do you define them.

READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST

I'm not trying to be mean. I just don't understand what Atheists base their morals off of. What defines your moral code? I imagine it varies from person to person, however, I am really interested in what you have to say. Now, for those of you might take my question as being offensive - I'm not trying to be. I'm being 100% serious when asking this question.

This question isn't synonymous with "Are Atheists bad people?". Please take the question for what it is.

Just jumping ahead. In order to properly define your morality, you would also have to define what you believe to be as "morally good" and what is "morally bad" -- or in other words, "morally right" or "morally wrong". As, simply saying "My moral code is to be good", would create a situation where the definition of "good" is subjective.

I'm not an atheist, but I don't base my morals on religion.

I believe that as long as we live, we should respect and love each other, and that way we shall be loved and respected too. :)

Nope, no morals at all. I would be a murderous maniac if I could, but I have way too many essays to write. Maybe after.CrimzonTide

Chica agrees. I always respect other people's religion, but one small mistake and it is *slap!*

You don't need to write those essays. Just lie, and say your house burned down. And then burn down somebody's house and claim it was yours. Cerussite

Rewrite your topic, then. Seriously, I don't care what my open argument is, I would never title a thread, "Christians, do you have any common sense?" :|

Just hijack a plane. Really, where do you get off trying to have morals? Cerussite

My morals are basically christian morals. I just don't believe in the religion. I "do onto others as i would have them do onto me". I don't believe in christianity but i am very calm and loving.

Maybe you could just get a visa. Or steal it. Can you steal visas? Cerussite

athiest are very wrong. plus if they have any morals, they are screwed up.

Christians live to be w/Jesus when we die (when in truth we move on to a new earth, and never actually die)

I'm a Christian, and a Jesus Freak, these are my views

No offence, but what kind of stupid question is that? :?

Of course we have morals. Jeez, your average atheist will be just as moral as your average theist. Religion has absolutely nothing to do with it.

I am amoral.

Edit: And an atheist.

My morals are basically christian morals. I just don't believe in the religion. I "do onto others as i would have them do onto me". I don't believe in christianity but i am very calm and loving.

hoola

I didn't rewrite. I simply fixed my grammer, and further expounded on the question posed. I didn't change the original question, which was clear in the unchanged first paragraph. Nice try though.

He did not say that you did. He is suggesting that you do.

I am an atheist. So how do I define what is Morally right and wrong. Well I use the what's best for society argument. You see, you learn very early that humans are able to succeed do to the combined effort of a human society. So I say to myself, Man1 killed Man2, Man2 contributed to society, Man1 took away from society, and so Man1 must be punished.
