Morals are not genetically inherent, they are taught.
This is why cultures and what is perceived as morally acceptable very greatly.

Correct, your point being?

Whether you accept it or not, you live in a Christian society and you hold modern Christian morals. You are what you hate.

Actually, a lot of the "christian morals" were founded on different laws and dogma eons prior to "christian morals being written down.

You are also pissed that people would use a 2,000 year old book as a moral compass. It's a collection of moral stories and tales that go back to before the written word, the birth of civilization. To you this is ignorant and stupid.
|
No it isn't. The written word was before Christianity was ever thought of. Look at the Egyptians and Greeks. Their word was LONG before Christianity ever was around. Look at the civilizations in China. LONG before Christianity.

However, you think we should live life by what 60 out of 100 corrupt power hungry bureaucrats mange to agree upon and write down into their own book - law books.

So you are saying that what man writes in a book are corrupt and power hungry? Hmmmm....

So you find nothing wrong with hanging homosexuals? Apparently Irans law makers feel it's fine. Would you accept populous vote? Most Americans appose gay marriage, so we pass a law banning it, thus that's logical and legal. We must abide.

I do find that wrong? Why do you think I have no sense of life when it comes to humans? Because I reject a god it is I reject life? You need to start thinking rather than reacting. I can only control what happens in this country, if you want to go to Iran and make changes, go and do it. But I will not like what other countries will do, but I have bigger issues with my current country before I can do anything about other countries. They are adults, they can live with their actions.
See the difference is that it infringes on human rights as it pertains to the Constitution. If the government gives out benefits for certain things, then they must be given to ALL people regardless of race, sex, sexual orientation. Hell at one point women couldn't vote. African Americans were not full citizens until the 60's and Christians support that ideology.

I think you and the atheists are the weak minded. You reject the notion that the moral decision you make in life have greater consequences and are fearful that judgment may wait you. Rather than pondering the deeper spiritual nature of humanity you toss your hands up and yell "it don't exist". You are content to believe that you are the center of the universe and all that maters. There is no reason to exist other than to reproduce to continue to exist. Brilliant!

Actually, I don't think I am the center of the universe. I think that I should be a good citizen, family member, friend, lover, supporter of what I think is right and fight for it. The reason I exist is because my parents wanted a child and I am here. This is my only shot at life and I am going to make it a good one. So if rejecting the "norm" is weak minded, what is pandering to the "norm?" A big soggy douche? I get the feeling you think you are the center of the world and everyone must believe in what you believe. I don't think that way. If people want to believe in a religion, go ahead, it's not my life. Don't make public policy and laws about it that effect millions of others. Your belief system is different from the person in the church seat next to you. Policy should not be about what a person can and can't do when it comes to their life choices that effect their lives.
