You please tell me what motivation is there for a person who has adopted the non-theistic world view to have any morals at all?
As I see it, with no value assigned to consciousness, any person who adhere's to some sort of morality is the real hypocrite. You are then the one who falls for your emotions time and time again even though such a person believes them as nothing more than electro-chemical impulses.

We had an interesting discussion in class today. The topic was a the future of nuclear reactors (just hang in there for a minute)... Anyway, he's from Germany where the government has recently put a complete halt on the nuclear industry. Problem is ,the people making those decisions are incredibly short-sighted and simply following the whims of the social demands presented by the public. So he made the statement:
''Once people have made up their mind about a certain belief then it's nigh-on impossible to get them to even consider an alternative''
Clearly you fall into this category. Now this doesn't mean you are wrong, BUT it does mean that there is no point for you to go into these discussions (with this attitude) since neither you nor the other party will gain anything from them.
Not to mention that you haven't studied any philosophies beyond the (admittedly limited) presentation of theism presented in the Bible.
So if you want to go along and assume yourself so great that you can deny the beliefs that many adhere to (where many of these people are certainly more intelligent than you), even though you have a very limited understanding of modern science then what's your motivation for coming in here and acting so self-righteous?
Science itself is a disappointment if one is looking for a coherent explanation of the universe and life. It's quite simply not a proper explanation.
