TODAY'S DEVOTION ON THE BIBLE

Contrary to popular opinion, there is no such thing as a moral atheist. Atheism cannot have morals because it has no God. Without an ultimate spiritual authority—a final arbitrator between right and wrong to whom all men must answer—atheism is robbed of an objective standard of right and wrong and reduced to each individual atheist’s subjective opinion of right and wrong. Furthermore, no atheist can demand that his opinion of right and wrong takes precedence over the opinions of others. To do so is tantamount to demanding that all other people adopt your favorite color for themselves. While atheists may do moral things, they have no basis for morality or any objective standard for determining what is right from what is wrong.
