Gonzo, what post or idea compelled you to ask this question? I think it's obvious that you aren't seriously asking it, so I need to know the context to respond to your inquiry.

You don't need to be religious to have a moral compass, Gonzo.

Ah, Gonzo and his imaginary friends.

What I gather from Gonzo's question is that if an athiest does not prescribe to any 'god' then how would you come to a place with what is right and what is wrong? Who makes that decision?

One could say that there are specific human laws of right or wrong, but who has the authority to enforce those laws if he is capeable of breaking those laws?

Hmmm, interesting. And I just stumbled upon this.

No i got that STG - i just think it's a bit silly to reach that far. Many whom believe in a "higher power" - still disobey it's authority. The responsibility isn't upon an organization, the responsability should just be able to be carried out by your own self. It's why i know true "enlightened" anarchism won't happen.
