Morality without God is impossible

Frankly it wasn't about trying to prove anything. I was just presenting my peronal experience and observations. A friend was telling me the other day that her daughter went over to a friend's house and found her to have hanged herself.It just seems to me to be a difficult time for kids growing up. I just remember my own childhood and particularly that age of innocence that just doesn't seem to be available to kids now.
On the other hand I meet so many great young people that have navigated through all of that and have come out on the other side as great people, and that includes my grandkids. It is the ones that can't deal with things that concerns me. I wonder what you did believe. Candle2 and I both call ourselves Christians but we have very different perspectives on both the nature of God as well as in our theology.I never did call myself an atheist but frankly it wasn't relevant to me and if I had to call myself something I would probably just come up with agnostic. I didn't become Christian until I was well into my thirties and my Christian beliefs and evolved considerably since then and they continue to evolve.

That's always a problem no matter which side of the question you're on. It does seem to me though that there is a lot of anger out there. Not really. There is many versions of Christianity beyond just denominational groups. YOu are hardly unique amongst atheists who were former Christians.

Sure, but rules that we come up with are not the same thing as morality. They are simply the way we govern our lives. I just don't see that as relevant in thinking about an absolute reality. For one thing current science tells us that the universe was once infinitely small. The universe is what we perceive and theoretical science is always speculating about other dimensions and universes. I see it differently. I contend that there is a universal morality. The "Golden Rule" of treating others as you would want them to treat you is ubiquitous in both the religious world and the secular world. However, as individuals we can observe that to whatever degree we want and even reject it completely. Even within that concept there is considerable ambiguity as things aren't always black or white.I'm not sure if this post answers the point you were making or not.
