Is the Bible your moral basis?
Why don't you cheat, steal, murder and rape? Is it because the Bible tells you not to do these things?

It's morally wrong to do those things. Morality is best taught with reference material and the Bible is an excellent choice.

yes, the bible is my moral basis. I do not cheat, steal, rape, and murder because I enjoy my freedom; not because the bible says it is wrong. if every one practiced the 10 commandments (whether they believe or not) the world would be a much better place

Yes.
I try to live my life in a way that does not bring malicious harm to others. That includes cheat, steal, murder and rape. But as a father of children, I understand the need for loving discipline, which sometimes means a swat on the rear.

The Bible has a lot to do with it but it's also that those things hurt other people and the last thing I want to do is intentionally hurt someone. The Bible has excellent morals which to base your life off of whether you believe in God or not.

Moral depends on where you come from, grow up. Do not forget moral is teached by your parents and people in your social circle. A bible is no guarantee for good moral. Therefore what is good and what is bad?

i was raised to believe these things were wrong, based on the Bible's teachings. i may or may not have grown up with the same morals if not raised in a Christian home, i will never know.

Only when I enslave someone do I look to the bible for guidance. Stoning someone I may look to it, but I really like my slaves to know "why this is happening"

I don't do these things because it would violate the rights of someone else, not because the book tells me to.

It is because when The Holy Spirit flooded my soul and Jesus came into my heart all I wanted to do was please The Lord. We should all be greatful to our Lord for all He has done. Jesus loves you.
