How does a non-believer decide what is right or wrong. Even more interesting, can an Atheist have a concept of good and evil?

I think however we attribute it, most people just do have some inbuilt sense of right and wrong.

I'd class myself as failed but attempted Christian but while I do firmly believe there are powers beyond mankind and Christ is to me the most likely solution, I can still get stuck.

Can I answer whether if someone has a scan and a baby is shown to be deformed whether one should have it? My Christian answer might be yes but my moral one no.

Can I relate to at times a Christian maybe rejecting me at times as a drunkard and an atheist while maybe saying you should not drink like that offer understanding - and where would that fit in with "good Samaritans"

While I might like to believe the cross, etc. Can I really get on with a chosen few and that some even from a time point of view might not even have had the opportunity? I try to take the book but it does not always make sense.

Can I understand the war like Blair/Bush Christianity?

Does creation in the big trap to others who believe in evolution when we can find dinosaur bones really make sense to me?


I still wrestle and try to work it all out, my own views may change but I've, try as hard as I can and with varying thoughts, have never fully made a consistent "this is all right" position. I wish I could.
