Yesterday I asked, "CHRISTIANS: Why are you moral?"
Only a few responded, but all said that they weren't moral.
(You can read their extended responses here:

I was puzzled by this response because Christians so often say that atheists cannot be moral because we do not believe in any God that serves as the "giver of morals."
So if Christians, by and large, don't believe they're moral ("just forgiven," as I've heard the cliche), why the big judgment that atheists can't be moral?
(And while you're at it, if anyone can shed any light on why this isn't a classic schizophrenogenic double-bind [i.e., you must be moral, but it's impossible for you to be moral], you'll get extra points.)
