Without God no one can exist to have morals or any thing else.
Can people be immoral, that is what the bible is all about. 2Tim.3:1-7; Matt.10:34-38;
Gen.8:21; The imaginations of man's heart is evil fron his youth.
Heb.11:1-40; 12:1,2; The moral people of the bible can be named on one sheet of paper over a 4,150 year period of time.

Humans tend to think in relativistic terms (especially in modern culture). Each person sees things from their own perspective based on a variety of factors, but most heavily influenced by life experiences. It is not possible to come to a absolute truth in human terms. However, most humans do agree that morals are necessary in some form. The question is where does this morality come from? Culture in part, but this cannot be the complete answer - every culture has many of the same moral requirements. Therefore, absolute morals must come from a source beyond humans and are not possible without God.

What would be the source of the absolute objectivity?
If man decides what's moral, then who's to say one morality is better than the next? By that standard, the Nazi's were moral, the communists were/are moral, etc, etc, etc.

Absolutely not. Our morals derive from God. If you remove the sun, then you won't have light. Well, unless it's man-generated, much like these false gods and misunderstanding of Love and humanity.

Absolute morals don't exist with or without god(s).

There is no such thing as absolute morals. Even the Judeo/Christian/Muslim God had little to stand on when the decision to drown the world was not leavened by full compassion. Obviously, all the newborns could not have been sinners against that God and deserved drowning.

Yes, but I don't think they do. I think morality is a mixture of many different factors. Generally, killing is wrong but not in self defence or to save another person. For almost every "absolute" moral rule you can come up with, there are proably exceptions.

Absolute morals DO NOT EXIST WITH GOD, since God is the most immoral babykiller in (fictional) history.

They don't exist with one either.
We hold that it is immoral to kill another of our kind.
Presuppose the existence of a three gendered intelligent species where the act of procreation requires two to kill the third as part of it. Is it immoral to do so?
If the proscription against killing our own kind, one of the most fundamental 'morals', is subjective to our species, how can you hold any moral to be absolute, even with a deity?
Morality is a philosophical pursuit, not a theological one.

There are no absolutes in this world. NONE. Not even your god.
Morals are created by the society in which a person lives, not by any god. The bible is just a book.
