For the sake of this discussion, it doesn't matter what label is affixed to those who don't believe in selling out their morals to achieve a goal with those who would.


But see, you've now rendered your own premise moot. If most of the people claiming your moral system ignore it, and violate social norms at a far greater rate than those who reject your moral system, then your original post is utterly meaningless.

You have admitted, albeit indirectly, that it isn't the belief system but the individual that matters. One doesn't need the ten commandments or religion to be moral, or have superior morals to those who claim such a moral system.

This was other one of your "Rah Rah" pro-Christianity threads and it flopped miserably. You attempted to not so subtly argue that society is floundering morally because there are too many people who don't follow the Bible.

But I do believe that one who truly believes he will answer for his actions on this earth in the after life will and does conduct himself with greater restraint than one who does not. Our dispute is in who these doers of the word are as opposed to hearers only.
