ATHEISM AND MORALS

Cecil Willis

Atheism has no moral standards whatsoever. If an atheist is moral, he is moral in spite of his atheism. There is nothing in atheism to make one moral. Any atheist who lives a moral life has borrowed his moral standard from the Bible.

When faith in God and the Bible is destroyed in the hearts of our youth, the atheist has nothing to put in its place. He leaves the pitiable boy or girl impoverished with nothing at all with which to build a moral life. When we permit our children to be taught that they are nothing more than an improved strain of animals, we should no be shocked or surprised when they begin to act like animals.
