I do not think it is the case that God gives you morals. I think everyone knows what morals are. It is the keeping of these morals is where believing in God come in handy.
Everyone know cheating on your marriage is bad. Well at the moment anyway. Yes theist and atheist both commit adultery. The difference is that the theists are mostly devastated after it while atheist wear it as a badge of honour.

Hi Straight. I just look at how the world has moved over the decades. As the world turns away from God, things like adultery have gone from something to be embarrassed about to something to be proud about. The sexual revolution man. As long as it feels good, do it. You only have one life.
An investigation of the London riots found the contributing factor to the riots were single parent families. Children were growing up without any father figure. The institute of marriage which was held sacred now is becoming a bit of a joke. We will see a lot more of these type of riots as children grow up without stability or discipline.

I'll certainly agree that there is no respect for the institution of marriage. A stable family unit now seems to be an old fashioned thing.
I can see where your coming from now. As religious influences wane, people are more tolerant of things that were once not acceptable.
I apologise for taking your comments personally

No one would stand a chance and we would be even worse off today than what is already today and this is bad in and if itself because of lack of beleif in the cross, as in the depth that it has. it has everything one needs for life and Godliness that does right period by their neighbor1Corinthians 15

The biggest tragedy of the world would be that the God of Jesus does not exist.
Without Jesus, I would the most miserable creatures that lives under the sun.
Without Jesus, I would be a dead man unable to break free from my bondage.
Without Jesus, I would not be able to overcome the seduction from the evil one.
Without Jesus, I would never find peace by loving my enemies and praying for them
Without Jesus, I would never have enough love to respond to evil with good, and turn the other cheek
Without Jesus, I would be at some point a murderer since whoever hate his bro and sis is a murderer
Without Jesus, I would never be able to suffer for the sake of his magnificent Kingdom
Without Jesus, I would never have known what is true love and especially selfless love
Without Jesus, I would be nothing but an illusion of happiness to the world

I don't think there would be no morals. There just wouldn't be any set moral standard. Therefore whatever each person decided for themselves would be moral. For instance, if we said that we must purify the human race of genetic defects and adhere to selective breeding, then some people undoubtedly would claim this to be moral.
God tells us in the scriptures that humans are his greatest creation. He considers us a masterpiece. We have dominion over all the earth. We are above all animals. This is what the bible tells us.
Now, look at animals, marine life and so on. They don't have morals. They kill for survival, monogamy is not the norm in nature, and they are not bound by any moral law man is. Animals do not have the intelligence man does, and whatever type of conscious an animal may have it certainly isn't the level of humans. Animals have no morals whatsoever. They aren't capable of obeying laws. So where do morals come from? If God does not exist, and we all evolved from other lifeforms then at what point did our intelligence evolve, and ability to understand right from wrong? Where did our emotional attachment, and ability to love come from? I know animals are affectionate and so on, but their ability to love as humans is impossible. If God didn't exist then wouldn't we be like all other mammals?
Many of the government laws we have today are based on moral law(no killing, stealing etc)....so... what human decided we have to abide by these laws, and we can't live naturally like all other mammals if there is no God?

I don't know. I think animals have morals as well. I mean, they're not as intelligent as we are, but some of them are pretty dang intelligent. I think too many people consider them only good enough to put in a box at KFC. But crows, for instance, have been known to make tools such as hooks from wire in order to accomplish tasks. Then you have chimps whose memories could beat the heck out of humans'. But I've seen dogs kill chickens indiscrimately before and then sit in the middle of the dead corpses and look around, acting as if they had done something shameful. I think animals have morals. They're just likely not as developed.
They do have a conscious of some type, but not at the level as humans, and they certainly not held accountable for something that comes natural to them.
Biblical fact: Dogs are mentioned 40 times in the bible, and not once are they looked at as pets. They were considered beasts, wild animals or used for work. Never domesticated pets, and cats are never mentioned in scripture.

Yes, I'd like to add that the term "dog" is also used as a euphemism for someone who is lawless or at least lacking the laws of God. And I can understand why the word "dog" would be used in such a way. But strictly speaking, they are intelligent enough to know right from wrong if they're taught it. Just like humans. And if humans do whatever they think is right and just ignore God's laws, then the euphemism "dog" would just as well be applied to them as it was to those who acted similarly in ancient times.
