aside from the fact that your statement is false, morality in the christian tradition is not based on religious doctrine.
i have no idea where people get these crazy notions from. seriously, where does this come from? is this crap actually taught in classes or are people just getting this from the internet ramblings of random loons?
The only difference between you and I with regards to morality is where we believe it comes from. You attribute to a deity what I attribute to the result of strong selective pressure on the cooperative societies of a social species. The actual actions and behaviors we believe are moral/immoral likely vary very little if at all, especially given I’m politically conservative.

while there is no such this as “good” and “evil” in an absolute sense
quote:as stated numerous times already, this is ethics, not morality
there are behaviors that objectively harm and objectively benefit the society in which we have created.

So if you want what you do to matter 4 billion years from now then sorry, it won’t.

But what you do and how you live now does matter, and a lack of eternal purpose doesn’t change that.
