And for the question of "Where does your morality come from (if not from God?)", what you call morality simply comes from knowing what is good for the greater community. Obviously, you and I have no right to hurt or kill somebody else. That's not productive to the community. And lying or cheating may help ourselves, but if we care about more than ourselves, then it is not helpful to others and we probably shouldn't do it.

Animals have been shown in studies to NOT do something if it does not serve the rest of their herd/pack/etc.

We don't need someone to necessarily tell us what is right or wrong (although that is obviously done through parents, teachers, etc.). I think that morality is instilled in us all (like an animal's instinct).

So no, all atheists are not horrible, godless, murdering, amoral people who don't care at all about life. In fact, I think history has shown a lot more of those people were raised in religion.

You are wrong in saying atheists have no moral ground. In fact, many atheists would consider themselves of higher morality than you. Because atheists do not believe in a next life, they focus on THIS life. So they don't believe that you are just forgiven for lies, cheating, and murder. Atheists believe that what you do in this life MATTERS; not that you can get away with anything if you confess your sins or if you just believe some guy existed.

And we don't care if your wrong. We don't care what you believe in. Unlike Christians, Muslims, and Jews, we aren't going to persecute ANYONE for their beliefs. We just want to live our lives. Life is not meaningless. Life has more meaning than you could probably ever allow yourself to ponder.

In reply to this comment by jcchang18:
So for the atheists commenting, if there is no higher being or moral law giver, there's no moral law, if there's no moral law, then that means there's no such thing as right and wrong. So if I believe in Christ as who he says he is, am I wrong? And for you atheists, to you, life is meaningless, so how can you tell me what I believe about the bible is false?
