LOL Yorick's post is right- my religion is a way of life that INCORPORATES morality into my daily life and thinking. It's a way of living that I'm expected to uphold because of my faith. And I don't make a habit of going around killing, lying, stealing or blaspheming...(nor any other breaking of the commandments) so I'd have to say I do live by my moral code (which includes the 10 commandments).[/QB]
Just for clarification, Cloudy, I didn't mean to imply that being religious is not related to having morals. I was actually suggesting the opposite....that being moral isn't necessarily related to being religious.

And there are some who "pretend" to be religious...but don't follow the morals that go along with it. That's basically the argument I'm presenting.
