If there is such thing. Can any one link me an article where our morality is NOT based on religion, but rather just common sense?
I've been having this argument with a girl over this for 2 days now. She claims that without religion, we won't be able to discern right from wrong. This is some of her statement..

Without religion to depict sins from goodness, how do you know killing a person who pisses yu off is wrong?

The bible tell us not to kill one another. Without this kind of guidance, how would society have developed as it has.

Since the beginning of time, religion has laid the foundation for law and order. Without this law and order, we would all live in chaos.

Without a concience -guided by God- to restraint you, what is there to stop you from hurting that person? You can't know what is right, unless yur taught not to hit... tracing back to the beginning of time, Religion has laid the foundation for these concepts...

My rebuttal for all this has been, "Any one with a good conscience would know this automatically, they don't need something else (bible, god, whatever) to point out the obvious." But she's not budging. I know I should have stopped since day one but I want to know what she have to say after I show her the hardcore fact that we don't need religion to simply tell right from wrong. IF there is any...I've been google-ing it all day long and got nothing. Maybe someone else will have better luck?
