"There is none good, no not one." I'm not the judge, and don't have to be. God himself will judge and it will be a fair judgment. Of course if you don't believe in God, there is no such thing as sin. So it would be impossible to do wrong no matter what you did, and everyone would be "good" because bad/wrong can only come from sin. You admit that down inside you there is something which tells you that rape, stealing, lying, cheating, etc. are wrong. Without that inner voice you couldn't possibly judge people who don't do those things as good or moral or bad. In the animal kingdom there is no such thing as good or moral. There is life and there is death, so if you're merely an animal it would be impossible to determine what is good or moral.
If you are insinuating, or maybe even asserting, that the god of the Christian Bible is the source of morality for the world you have most certainly made the best joke in this entire thread!
