Gods Word is the standard in which people are to be judge, and that is in fact going foward now. Every man woman and child is headed for the grave, everyone is on probation and that gift of time has been bought for you by Jesus, and it was He that Was with God in the beginning, and If we love Him we are to obey His commandments, now they are NOT the 10 suggestions, they spell out the first 4 how we relate to God and the last 6 how we relate to each other. Apart from God's Word there is no morals at all.

Absolutely! Christianity hasn't existed from time immortal, but good morals have. There are many non-Christians in this world (like me) who are good moral people. I'm a Baha'i. I have Baha'i, Muslim, Jewish, and Christian family/friends, and they all abide by good morals most of the time while flubbing up some of the time. Christianity doesn't hold the moral market.

Christianity is only one of the worlds religions, and not the major one either. Of course we have morals without that religion - morality has very little to do with religion.

I guess you mean religion rather than Christianity. Christianity is not the only religion that speaks of morals. Many people do not base their morals on religious convictions. There are many good people that declare themselves atheist.

Most definitely. Christianity has nothing to do with peoples morals.

Yes, in fact, we'd most likely have better morals. People would have to rely on their own moral conscience instead of letting a book dictate their morals to them.

You can follow the bible without being a Part of an organized religion.
It's meant to be taken Literally. Not pulled apart Or re-written for affect.
I'm a Christian but not a Christian, if you see what I mean.
Anyone can understand the 10 Commandments can't they?
I observe them but NEVER go to Church.

Yes.
Reason~ One of the biggest rebuttles I hear to accepting Jesus as Saviour is, "Ive been GOOD, I haven't done anything wrong or hurt anyone. After all, we're all basically good."
Although they're wrong(God says, "There is none good, not one."Rom.3:10), they still have that "moral" sense of "what SHOULD be".

Only a total moron cannot distinguish between a harmful act and one that does no or less harm to others.
Religious laws and following them is not morality at all it is merely following orders or instructions.

It is called natural social law and it happens whenever groups of people live together.
It's also called the "Golden Rule" which is not found in the Bible, which says simply, "do undo others as you would have them do unto you" This is probably the most powerful of all natural social laws.
