Can atheists tell right from wrong?

For fucks sake ! :mad:

Can we please ban the next person that makes a stupid thread like this about atheism ? PLEASE !
 
Sure they can, whatever they say is right, is right. If they say its wrong, its wrong.

Supposition.

Morality is whatever the majority regard as being moral.

That's irrelevant, though. What's relevant is morality in general. If morality is subjective, why is murder wrong?
