Subject: RE: BS: The 'moral' Atheist?
Jack, you've said you used to an atheist. How did you make decisions about right and wrong before you got religion?

Taking off on something that was said up-thread a ways, how can a Christian who believes in the literal truth of the Bible decide what's moral? Given the contradictions and horrors in the Bible, it seems like it would be pretty hard.

The best answer so far about how to choose between right and wrong is "with my brain". In most cases it's not really that hard to figure out whether or not an action is good or evil. Sometimes you have to think about it for a bit, though.
