Of course you can; we ALL know right from wrong. Morals were written in our conscience by God Himself. Don't question the mental strength of others. It makes you look foolish as there will always be someone that can say the same about you, no matter how "smart" you may think you are.
I believe you're probably a good person, but in whose eyes? Yours? Societies? Heck, if that's the case then 99% of all the people who ever lived were "good." You do not hold a monopoly on "goodness." In God's eyes there is none that is good. Not one person is good. Yes, religion has it's faults. Seek God, not religion and you'll do well.

what's the question?? It's more then a statement that you have. If that's what you believe then why talk about it? If believing in a God is easing the fear of death for some people then I think people should just live and let live :-)

It is obvious that people come up with these questions just to try to get people upset. If you would all just read the New Testaent for yourselves, you would see how stupid some of your questions appear to us. If you would read it first before asking questions, you would find out that Christians all know that we are sinners. The only difference between a Christian and a non-Christian is that one is a sinner, and the other is a saved sinner. Everyone knows right from wrong, but that does not determine your fate. So we know who is the weak minded by the questions and comments that are made. Please people, learn something before you make stupid comments!

religion wasn't created to ease everyone's fear of death, religion has existed for as long as humans have. AND, about morals, that just depends on you, everyone is different. what one might consider a "sin" another might consider a mere "distraction".
BUT (and this is for all you atheists out there): what if we Christians are wrong: so we restrained ourselves from pleasure and didn't injest poison in our bodies and didn't have "fun", but if we are right (which I am confident we are), then... a whole different story.
just something to think about while you snort coke

It takes a coward to deny the TRUTH and a very brave person to admit that they are saved and believe everything written the Bible. It takes a lot of courage to stand tall with Faith that can move mountains, and no faith at all if all you want to do is try to be a goodie. Being good is not enough according to the bible. The Bible is a must read for all the scoffers in our society. No one is forcing you to read it but you would benifit greatly if you would just give it a try and find out for yourself if the Bible is really what it is.

You may think twice before and while executing a certain decision; if it ends in wrong, take it granted that your thoughts didn't have the blessings of God! That is why God gave us special feature in mind, the sudden forgetful character after doing certain things. Some times while writing a letter a single alphabetical/numerical error changes the entire meaning !!You think it over you have done it several times and people might have pointed this!!!

Your definitions of right and wrong may not be right. I feel there is no right and wrong, only things that are and things that arent. If it happens its right. Defining good and bad is the basis of all religion, and even if you dont assign a deity to your opinion of good and bad, it could still be perceived as a religion. Just do what you want when you want. That is freedom.

All it really takes is common sense to know right from wrong. It take character to follow through on that knowledge. A lot of people are too self centered to do this.
All one has to do is to look around them and realize that religion has failed to make this world a better place.

Ethics definitly exist outside of religion. I wish more people understood that.
But if you don't want to be judged, don't judge others. Many people follow religion after carefully thinking out what they believe. It's not for you or me but it in itself does not make them weak-minded. If there are people that don't feel they would know what was right without religion than those people are a different story.

to know the right and the wrong is having a sense of morality not religiousity alone as have perceived.....
religion is not to ease fear of death, but religion brings hope and light to people who do not fear death!
