    What do Atheists base their morality on? What are the absolute examples they follow?

    In contrast, an atheist has no morality, and only behaves "morally" because it fears punishment of the law or other consequences.

    Left to its own devices, and without repercussion by the law, an atheist would just as soon rape, murder, and commit sodomy with children and animals.
    everyone has a morality.......its just that atheists make up their own and aren't very good at it......

    When there's no standard, the bar is set wherever it is.
    How can one claim morality, when they self-professedly have no set standard for morality?

    if there is someone out there who does not feel that what they have chosen to believe is right and that contrary beliefs are wrong, they are probably under psychiatric care, drugs, or both......

    If you can't figure that out, I can't help you. It's called sympathy and empathy. Those are characteristics that appear to be lacking in the Trump cult, of which you are a charter member. Seriously, the fact that you have to ask the question proves my point.

    So what is YOUR standard. The Bible? I sure as hell hope not. So what are the norms you believe in, and why?

    by definition everyone has moral standards.......even that cannibal serial killer years ago had moral standards.........its just that some people's moral standards really, really suck.....

    what do you find objectionable in the moral standards outlined by the Ten Commandments?......

    how do you make decisions in situations where the "sympathy and empathy" of two entities conflict......where sympathy with "A" requires action which will not be sympathetic with "B"?.......
