Atheists are without morals because they do not accept the Ten Commandments. Instead atheists believe in situational ethics.

Over half the population of the planet have probably never heard of the Ten Commandments, yet still love their parents and refrain from murder, adultery, stealing and lying. In the U.S., which is around 80% Christian, the murder rate is eight times that of Japan, where Christians are fairly rare.

Atheists, of course, don't accept the first four Commandments (first three in the Catholic version), but those Commandments have nothing to do with morals. The tenth (9th and 10th in the Catholic version) are pretty universally ignored, even by Christians, who are as covetous as anyone else. The other five have been accepted by all human cultures since antiquity.

Situational ethics.. as opposed to "moral absolutes". Hmm well, in that case, according to your wholly buybull and your jebus christ... Luke 6:30 "Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again." So.. give me all of your money.. keep your credit cards, if you wish.. clean out your bank account, and if your car is better than a beater.. I'll have that too. You can keep your clothes and your home and the furnishings in it.. but your cash.. all of it, I'd like to have.

Now.. put your money where your mouth is.. so to speak and don't live by situational ethics, but rather the moral absolutes that you claim we should all live by.

THAT, or shut the fuck up about "situational ethics" and "moral absolutes".. and admit that you are a hypocrite.

The ten commandments to the letter:
1. You shall have no other gods before Me

2. You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth - so stop worshipping your damn books, those are idols.

3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain - Oh my God, I'm swimmin' in fire.

4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy - I see so many people going out for meals right after church, what's so holy about that?

5. Honor your father and your mother - in THIS fucked up culture?

6. You shall not murder - more murder in god's name than for all other reasons combined

7. You shall not commit adultery - But what about threesomes, who's cheating on who?

8. You shall not steal - and yet every church in america steals by virtue of tax evasion (legal or not)

9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor - look up any reference to lying for Jesus, you know where I'm goin'

10. You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's - the Amish got this one right. Everyone else that likes to buy shit and have it be nice (because you're [insert relation here] has one), can fuck off.

Situational Ethics:
It doesn't seem like the right thing to do, I suppose I won't do it - prevents murder, theft, adultry (against ugly spouses), and most life-altering lies.

You choose!
