I do not follow the moral standards of religious groups; however, I have my personal views on morality. As far as my sexuality goes, many religious groups would say I am extremely immoral

None of which represents critical thinking, logic, or skeptical thinking.
Yeah . . . now . . .
There's a very simple way to test whether or not you are a moral person regardless of whether you are an atheist or a theist.
All you have to do is look at the blobfish and NOT laugh at it. If you can do this you have morals.

Really? You don't find the next logical step in thinking would be that the lion is likely to eat you and you should not sit down and wait for it to happen?

Oh, ok, good, 'cuz I googled it and they were saying some stupid thing like treating other people nicely or some dumb crap like that. I didn't really understand it, but it made no sense anyway.

That's some funny stuff. Treating people nicely, what will they think of next.

Have I mentioned lately that I love every single one of you?
You guys make me laugh. It's so rare that you can find a constructive and entertaining intelligent conversation.
I think one dude made an excellent post! I agree that the statistics may be skewed, and I'm not so sure about the brain anatomy and emotional electrons and such... lol. But he pointed out, logically, how the peoples morality can be slowly weakened by the concept of sin and guilt.
Sin was the first christian concept I disowned, with the guilt that comes with it. I have been more morally connscious since then and I didn't really understand why.
It is because I understand my malicious traits as part of my nature, which I alone have control of and are responsible for living with, which I can never undo. I don't avoid malice due to fear of punishment from God, but fear of punishment in my mind from myself, that I alone will have to live with and solve on my own by somehow making amends. When you cannot redirect your guilt/transfer it to another through his sacrifice/have someone else deal you punishment and forgive you/whatever, it sits inside you until it eats you alive unless you make ammends yourself... the hard way... the real way.
Your moral compass turns to concrete and you never break it. Just a tiny thing will irk you.
That's how I am anyway. I'm not athiest though I am just a non'religious wandering occult student.
EDIT: By one dude I meant Amhairghine
What the hell kinda word/name is that?!

I had to look and see if it was, and I found all this which is pretty daggum interesting. Cool pictures. The blob fish is towards the bottom and it has a little blurb of info on them.

For goodness sake, of course the vast majority of atheists live by good moral standards, just as the vast majority of theists or non-theists or any other human group. To do otherwise you would be a sociopath!
