How do you define what is right and wrong wiAmerica.thout God? In this age of relativism where there doesn't seem to be anything "wrong" ?

unless it  offends our delicate and ever changing sensibilities and values. Without a moral yardstick, and without a conscience we are no better than animals, which explains some of  the senseless violence plaguing America.

    When "God" says slavery is okay, racism is okay, beating gays to death is okay, and preachers abusing children is okay, we can't afford Biblical morals.  We need better morals than what religion offers.  Religious morals are horrible.  The "senseless violence" seems to come mostly from Christians, Christians who brag about how many guns they have and how they're not afraid to use them.  It happens mostly in religious areas. I think you're looking the wrong direction for morals.
