Morality is the ISSUE of good and bad, I assume you mean 'good morals', which is also ambiguous because each person has their own idea of good and bad. So in short, NO. It doesn't require a belief in an invisible man (of some sort). Besides what if your god demands sacrifices, or asks you to wipe out a nation of people, or punishes people for the 'sins' of others, or....Oh, right.

The 'God' of 'reason'?

Morality doesn't have a darned thing to do with a god, or with a belief a god. If anything, that belief can badly distort one's view of morality, or at least can be used by someone else to distort it. Just look at the violence caused by fanatics of all stripes.

Care to explain why I need to believe in your invisible sky daddy to act morally? That whole \"don't mess with other people's rights\" idea seems to be plenty to me. No God needed - and as an added bonus, I'm doing it because it's the right thing to do, not because I think someone's going to punish me otherwise.

I invite you to read what the ancient Greeks had to say about ethics. For them, ethics was a branch of philosophy, not theology. Indeed, their gods were exceptionally amoral.

Its funny how often gods turn out that way.

...stop me when I've annihilated your argument sufficiently, dlb. Oh yes, that's right. As demonstrated by when one clicks on the quote link, it 404s. And when one goes to the base URL, this appears:

http://www.yuku.com/

'Start your own Social Community'

So even the original host - 'insiders5.ezboard.com' - no longer exists. It was taken over by a completely different one since this quote.

Speaks volumes, does it not? Certainly about the nonexistence of a 'God', never mind the so-called 'Christian Morality' that is supposed to be based on such.

And as proven by the above (and still very much functioning) links, Atheistic morality is more than infinitely superior to that of fundie 'religion's. In every way.
