Why is this the method of judging morality? Who determined this?
How do you know that? I keep asking it...and all anyone has is that they just assume it.
How is above not implying well being has nothing to do with the principals of right and wrong behavior ? ( gotta go and will look forward to the answer.

I'm not sure I understand. What are you referring to "above"?
Question is are the Logical Larrys and the Reasonable Ronnys unified on a comprehensive moral perspective when it comes to the atheistic secular approach? From the looks of it, say in a university setting, it looks like they're lucky to even discuss as well as to make good and appropriate decisions when moral questions come into play. Yes, the universities are 'unified' but only on not getting involved with moral issues. It's like a stink they don't want to get close to. And it is there that the Larrys and Ronnys are being 'formed' in pods destined to grope their way through moral questions and 'winging' it. And it is from this that a society supposedly can get good skills st adjudicating moral problems when they occur? Frankly, if we look around we've lost some skills there.
Character assassination only indicates that you don't have a real argument to present.
Perhaps you only do what's right when somebody's looking, but in my opinion that's a sign of poor character. I don't identify with looters, I don't judge people who download a little free music from performers who are richer than they deserve either. Most people do what they feel is right and that is not because they think some strange all powerful eyes are watching from up in heaven. Geez! Look at the mafia - many are loyal Catholics. I have much more confidence in someone who has an inner conscience and a soul independent of what they read in a book they don't understand or of what some bozo preaches at them once a week. I could go on and on but won't.
Yet...many people would disagree. I guess that means anyone not agreeing with you is stupid?
That's one possibility - in some cases a probability.

The OP started this discussing God and morality. I'm only asking questions of why we should accept the premise that anyone can judge God. If you'd like to drop your argument....ok. Fine.

I already 'dropped' my argument - and it smashed you
