Was there morality before the birth of Jesus? Of course. Don't pretend that Jesus invented it, we know better.
I think you can still have morals without Christianity. The Vikings had their own idea of what virtue was. I doubt you'd agree much with it. But you're right, I think I'm a better person when I believe in a "sky Daddy." I need reasons. I need justice. This world alone does not provide that very often.
“There were mothers who took this [Rodney King LA riots] as an opportunity to take some milk, to take some bread, to take some shoes ... They are not crooks.”
This liberal would be about socializing … uh, umm. … Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies.

Congress is opened with a Christian invocation and goes on to all manner of perfidy. The perpetrators of the Mountain Meadows Massacre prayed the night before they murdered innocent people. The Lafferty brothers claimed to be guided by God to slash the throats of a mother and her child. Reasons? Justice? Right.

That doesn't mean an individual can't have a personal relationship with God and find those reasons and justice. It just means that there were sinful people who once justified their sins with false beliefs.
