where do you suppose we gain moral absolutes?
[But if God gave everyone the same sense of right and wrong, why do so many disagree?]
people that disagree probably do not believe in God. i'm only making an assumption though.

A really bad assumption. There's plenty of argument about right and wrong even among believers. More importantly, though, atheists are perfectly capable of recognizing right and wrong. It's simple enough - don't hurt other people.
There are multiple sects of Christianity.
1) We don't. Some people choose to look for them in spite of this fact.
Read some interesting statistics the other day. 13% of Americans don't believe in a God, so according to April you'd expect that more than 13% of the criminals in jail would be athiests, correct?
Actually, it wasn't God that gave humans a sense of right and wrong -- at least not according to the Bible. Adam and Eve ate the fruit of The Tree Of Knowledge Of Good And Evil and _that_ is where humanity got it. If you believe in that kind of thing, anyhow.

And as we all know, no christian has EVER commited a crime because they ALL know what is right and wrong.
***Yeh, I think everyone basicaly knows right from wrong. christians commit crimes, duh..we try not to but we were born with a sinful nature and there are so many temtaions out there.***
In that case, thank God is just an assumption. Following your logic, you, who disagree with somebody, logically, would not believe in God either.
Confused?
