Hi folks! I'm new to the forum and glad to meet ya!

I would say that this argument can be turned around, and the statement could be made that Christians have no morals.

I can't tell you how many times I've heard a Christian say that without their god, no one would know right from wrong. My first reaction to this is to want to run as far away as I can from the person who claims it. It implies that without a list of dos and don'ts from the guy-in-the-sky, the person who believes this silliness would have no idea that killing, raping, stealing and so on are wrong. Simple human decency would not serve to guide them, nor would compassion or a whole list of other traits that are considered desirable by many for obvious reasons.

I don't know about anyone else, I'd want to get away from that person ASAP!!

I am afraid you'll have to do the research. My philisophy teacher in highschool used it as an example, but I didn't ask him for the specifics.
