In response to my earlier thoughts...

Many of you know that even though I am an atheist, I often have problems with the fact that there's no overriding and objective moral code besides one's own belief guiding their actions. I have changed my mind because of this thought:

How many atheists have killed in the name of something?
A lot less than theists who have killed in the name of god.

It seems to me now that an overriding and objective moral code is exactly the problem. With it, you can justify anything.
