Do we need God for Morality? [Spirituality & Religion]

Obviously the secular answer is a resounding NO.
But if you're a theist who says "yes", i want to hear your reasoning.

Not at all, morality is a very pliable term, it's a different definition for each individual!

Remove the basis of it and one becomes logically as good as another @TheeOriginalAmazingsEXLover

@TheeOriginalAmazingsEXLover true. I am not a Christian. But I know how to keep morals without help of any religion. I don't lie, steal, cheat or hurt anyone. From my experience, I think it's the religious who lack morals by hating others who have different style of living or faith. They keep quite when priests or pastors rape women and children.

@fairefoutre "Basic Christian ethos" is just cherry picking. Here in the U.S., devout Christians argued for centuries that God wanted them to enslave Africans and kill Native Americans; are those examples of the "Christian ethos?" Not to mention suppressing women by denying them property and voting rights.

You talk absolute crap. How did these people follow the teachings of Jesus Christ? Try thinking for a change ! @LeopoldBloom

@Speedyman You're not just an arrogant swine, you're also ignorant. You apparently haven't noticed that there's no consensus on the "teachings of Jesus Christ," since there are thousands of Christian denominations, many of which hold views diametrically opposed to each other.

But I wouldn't expect you to know this since you have never ventured out of the craphole town you grew up in, and assume the miserable little church you attend is representative of the entire world.

The consensus on the teachings of Jesus is found in the new Testament. In fact the denominations do not hold diametrically opposed views and if you knew anything you would know that. They might differ on the lesser things but they unite on the fact that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. You live in your own little world I know but some of us have travelled the world and seen Christians all over the world. Amazing how people like you who live in the shelter of a democracy want to try and lecture me who is been in places you never dare go@LeopoldBloom

@LeopoldBloom
Well, your "modern" acceptance of everything, anything and anyone into church faith despite fundamental values
