Can you be good without God? Let's find out.

A video I discovered years ago that I still find interesting.

If you need a deity in order to be good and moral, you are neither good, nor moral.
@NativePortlander1970 Did you watch the video? They explain all of this.
@Bel6EQUJ5 I have seen many films and heard numerous sermons about this while growing up with a uber religious church secretary mother.
@NativePortlander1970 So no, you haven't then. Typical.
@NativePortlander1970 The video actually makes a superb case for why one should accept the reality of a higher intelligence underpinning objective morality, for providing the foundation for it, and I say this as an embittered ex-Christian who just couldn't ignore the lies and inconsistencies of the Bible any longer.
@Bel6EQUJ5 Why should I watch a video of something I have heard countless times while growing up, hmmm?
@Bel6EQUJ5 You say the holey buy bull lies, YET, you still believe in a higher power?
@NativePortlander1970 Of course! Why not? Why should I embrace atheism just because I've rejected Christianity? Explain that, if you can.
@NativePortlander1970 The video doesn't even mention the Christian "god"! It's not based upon anything in the Bible.
@Bel6EQUJ5 What the hell is so funny? Are you high right now? You must be if you thought my comments were funny.

@Bel6EQUJ5 There is far more proof that we were visited by extraterrestrials than any existence of supreme deities. How do we not know that "Jehovah" might not actually be from a planet near Betelgeuse, hmmm?
