Yes. How does one not commit crimes if they don’t know the words of sheep herders and the Jesus?!

It’s an interesting discussion.
Brownflush seems to think I have no possible basis for morals or morality because I’m an atheist.
Chime in here brownflush if I’m misrepresenting your position...

I've chimed, gonged, and bonged.
Use words (since you have the best ones) that represent your position on the basis of your morality.
Pond scum turns into a person means morality has the same origin .
Yep. There were undoubtedly good people who knew not to murder, commit adultery, steal, bear false witness or covet before the Ten Commandments came to be.

Really?
I think #2544 should help.

Is there a violation if there is no law?
Yes. Murder, adultery, theft, false witness and coveting would all still be problems even if the Jesus had not said so.

Ok, morals or fundamental morality aren’t based on Religion.
There were highly established moral codes hundreds/thousands of years before Christianity, in your particular circumstance.
You base your morals on your own religion- that’s to be expected.
If you had grown up in Egypt or Saudi Arabia or parts of Chechnya etc., you’d be a Muslim, and you’d be telling me about those morals.
Bottom line, I don’t need your religion or anyone else’s to define for me what morality is or what my morals are.
I’m not sorry if that offends you or if you don’t understand it, it is what it is.

What is that?
Text message to a Jesus hotline?
You know what really helps?
Psilocybin: cue multiple verses in your book.

How did people know they are "good"? How did they "know" not to
murder, commit adultery, steal, bear false witness or covet.
"Why" would they be "problems"?
Jesus didn't say they were problems. He said they were transgressions of the law.

Oh okay, I just don’t agree with any of that.
To me that just seems like a believer trying to put the scaffolding of belief onto a non-believer.
That’s the thing: I’m not a believer.
Your endless rationalities for your own beliefs hold zero sway with me.
And yet, I live a moral life.
(How could this be?!??)

What are they based on?
Where did the "codes" come from and how were they established?
So if I was a Muslim you would agree that killing an infidel would be right for me to do because it is not a violation of my morals?
My religion? LOL
Since nothing or no one defines for you what morality is, you are a law to yourself and everything is subjective. Good deal. What a wonderful world it would be if everybody got to be you!
You're tough. I'm so offended.LOL SMH
I understand completely. You've answered nothing. Wait... yes you have.

Could it be that you appeal to a moral law and won't admit it? No..No..too much credit. You don't even know it.
Can you not watch something about an evil dude without being attracted to him? I bet you write guys in prison too.

Again:
Asked and answered.
I don’t need a religious scaffold to have morals or morality.
End of discussion.
If you do, I’m legitimately pleased for you, but in the same way you wouldn’t want a Buddhist to tell you how to worship or think about reality or morals, who are you to tell me that my internal moral code is suspect because I haven’t chosen your particular deity out of a 1000+ choices?
Talk about a breakdown in logic!
If it works for you, GodSpeed, just don’t tell me I’m wrong because I filled in the MadLibs page with adjectives you don’t approve of...
