[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What governs how I live my life? I don't need any external governance ... I have an internal understanding of right and wrong. Almost everybody does. [/quote]

New poster. Not being snarky- where do you think that internal understanding comes from? I am far, far, far from the conservative Christian Right. But I have come to believe that [b]we were provided this moral compass by a creator.[/b] It is when we act outside this internal sence of conscience that conflict occurs. [/quote]

Not the poster you are quoting but even supposing for argument's sake that that is true, it has nothing to do with the question.  [b]OP's question seems to presuppose you need to believe (not that there needs to be a God, but that you need to believe in it) to have any [b]sense[/b] of morality.[/b]  [/quote]

Not true. I was just wondering what "code" atheists live by.

Most Christians live by a moral code and doing what is right/wrong, so just wondering how that differed from atheists who don't believe in the belief system that governs how Christians live.

In essence, where did "morality" come from? [/quote]
