first of all bluesdude, learn to spell morals. i mean seriously, you obviously didn't get above an 80 on your english final. second of all, this question really pertains to the true inner meanings of david richards. only he holds the true answers to all of life's major and minor questions. in fact, he is kinda like the shorter, whiter version of negrodamus. however, david is better with the ladies. lastly, if you are unable to speak to david, you must travel to the canadian city of quebec to find these answers hidden within a menu at a random french restaurant. good luck with your adventure.

Yes you can. That's is implying that in order to have Morales, you have to belong to a religion. In all of my years of religious study, I have found that people all around this great earth have morals, no matter what they believe in. So Morales don't come with a religion.

That would depend entirely on the person. My brothers had less religious beliefs than I did, at one point my younger brother was a god fearing young boy but he lost that and now he's ... er... not on the best side of the law.
Myself I had no religion until middle school and even then it wasn't a mainstream religion. My beliefs and my morals are from before I found my religion and were so strongly engrained in me that I refused to accept any religion that told me I was bad for my morals.

You certainly can, without believing, but not without being exposed to it. Where do you think morals and laws come from.
If you knew there would be no consequences and you could do anything you want. Wouldn't some of your morals go out of the window?
Society needed rules and laws and so leaned on the Bible.
Remember you don't have to believe in law to have it apply to you. The same is true with God.
He doesn't need your belief to exist.

I don't know, is Morales hot? I might have Morales without religion, if he's hot.

Ridiculous, of course you can. Are you saying the only thing stopping you from disrespecting your neighbor and committing adultery is believing you'd go to hell? No you have a conscience and a will to help those in need, with or without religion.

Absolutely!
I believe in treating others the way I want to be treated. That's a very moral standpoint.

You could but all morality stems from "religion".

of course you can...it's just religion is the CAUSE or SOURCE of some people's morals.
