"Well, it comes from laws. If you break the law you go to jail. It comes from society, which shuns or otherwise punishes those of which it disapproves." That is interesting. The only ethics you have comes from 'laws' or from society which punishes offenders. So, where do laws come from? Where do societies mores come from. You of course will be punished for 'breaking' laws. Your ethic is 'the law' so whatever laws exist under the authority of government you will support, whether it is the Tora, the TOW, or the tradition of society. It matters not whether it is cannabalism or dancing nude around the May Pole. lol... "And if there is a God, we will be equally subject to that accountability. So I don't see how my morals have less accountability than those of a believer." The difference is that believers hold them selves personally responsible whether the govt laws or societal traditions approve or not.
