A simple lead in to a very broad question.
Time and again I see Christian responses to questions that indicate, if not outright state, that true morality only resides in those that love Jesus (not universal among Christians, but plentiful).
Is this because you believe the Holy Spirit resides in all of us and leads us to do good? What about those who blaspheme against it, who commit the unpardonable sin (i.e. non-believers and atheists) by denying it outrigt? Why do you suppose that the vast majority of agnostics and atheists are fully as ethical and moral as any Christian?
If you don't believe that it is only the Holy Spirit which prompts a person to be good, then why on earth do you believe that only a follower of Jesus can be truly moral?
If you believe none of this and realize that morality can and does exist outside of religious thought... then I applaud you.
