If you do not have faith in God, you can act in a moral way, but you have no justification for any moral arguments.
If you are simply here by a biological accident, it could be argued that rape, theft and murder are good, from a purely Darwinian success perspective. In a senseless universe, good and evil simply do not exist. There is only power over limited resources.
This is what we are seeing on the left. All of their virtue-signaling grandstanding is empty and shifts with political power requirements. It is based upon power grabs, not morality.
Yet, the godless attempt to borrow from the Judeo-Christian morals in order to win political arguments. They have no right to borrow these standards of conduct while simultaneously claiming there is no God. It's ridiculous.
Morality can only be justified if there is a Divine Creator, who wrote into us and gave to us a calling higher than simple, physical survival of the fittest.
In fact the philosopher, Nietzsche, who infamously proclaimed, "God is dead", believed in God. His statement is often taken out of context. His argument was the "Clockmaker Argument".
He said that God made the universe, and everything in it, including man, but no longer moves through the Holy Spirit on earth. In other words, God left the building after Jesus' crucifixion.
Which is exactly the opposite of what Christ said.
Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the Law, do by nature what the Law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the Law, since they show that the work of the Law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them. This will come to pass on that day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel. Romans 2:14-16
You can be a morally upright pagan (for example Aristotle). Prudence, justice fortitude temperance, and piety - the cardinal virtues - were articulated and understood by some even before Christ. The problem is that these Godless people on the modern left are not even good pagans. They have no morality, in fact they reject the notion of objective morality.
I would never argue that an atheist, pagan, or even a satanist, cannot behave in moral ways.
The issue is that those who do not believe in God have no justification whatsoever for whatever "moral codes" they follow. A godless universe is incapable of giving a care about any type of behavior. And any "moral code" they can imagine would be arbitrary.
That 90% of what they do is really for their benefit.
Welcome to all of us.
And if there is no God, there is no good, because an accidental universe has zero room for the concept of morals. Morals are seriously for Darwinian losers.
If you are still under the illusion that you are a good person, why not measure yourself against God's standard. Look at the very simple, Ten Commandments.
It's "just" ten simple rules. However, if you break even one of them, you burn. And most can't get past "bearing false witness" (lying ever in your life.)
Which is why Jesus had to come as the ultimate sacrifice.
Even the most jaded, atheist biblical scholar will NOT argue that Jesus never existed. There is far too much proof for that.
Satanists, more specifically Luciferians, are very moral people. The difference between us and them is that we believe in a God who provides for us. They believe that man is his own god and aspires to achieve that godhood in this lifetime on their own.

God's not dead
Absolutely not!

"Nietzsche is dead." - God
He is surely alive!
He's living on the inside

Imagine being a good person because youre actually good, and not because youre afraid of hell
Imagine that no one is ever good.

Instead, they contest His divinity.
Satanists, more specifically Luciferians, are very moral people. The difference between us and them is that we believe in a God who provides for us. They believe that man is his own god and aspires to achieve that godhood in this lifetime on their own.
And, yet, without God, everything they do is meaningless, and they end as worm food.
Gods don't die.
They are fools Nd have a strong delusion
