Re: Question for Non-Believers
[ QUOTE ]
Without a "Supreme Being" how do you decide what is right and wrong. Do you merely just follow what others (who believe in absolute morals) believe in? Doesn't that seem somewhat strange?

The implication of this post is that we would follow a supreme beings will without question. For many of us this is simply not going to happen.
If a supreme being said (via the holy book, whatever) "you shall beat down the women and the Jews", then would tham seem to be a moral stance to you?
Morals don't come from some dictum on high. They come from a sense of empathy for our fellow man and a desire to see those around us live in such a way that we are not subject to some horrible fate.
