I don’t consider myself a person of deep moral conviction, but I long ago made a personal choice to live by a code of honor, to strive to exhibit those character traits I find admirable in others. Also long ago, I abandoned a belief in an all-encompassing moral order in the universe — the moral order that is posited by most religions, the promise of those sublime rewards you’ll receive when you die, if you’ve done what you are supposed to, and the judgment that awaits you if you don’t.
Let’s face it, the good aren’t always rewarded; and the sinful don’t always suffer for their sins. You may believe that a judgement will happen after death, but that is unprovable, and it is not something I’d try to convince others of. If there were a moral order to the universe, if there is a god (or goddess) of justice who rewards the righteous, and punishes the wicked, I think we’d witness a whole lot more of that.
All evidence points to another conclusion.
And the only reward for righteousness is in this world and in this life.
Morality is always individual. Morality is possessing the courage and the will, to make moral decisions on one’s own, individually. It is standing on one’s own two feet; and sometimes that requires s-------e.
Morality isn’t about following a set of rules or strictures; moral courage is possessing the ability to choose the right course of action, by oneself, without any outside pressure or influence.
Look for all the signs you want; I have discovered no signs either of a loving god or of a higher moral order. The only signs of decency in this world comes, not from any of the gods, or their churches or their clergy, but from ordinary people who possess no more than what I consider a “normal” amount of moral courage.

That’s my take on it .. and I’m not trying to convince anyone else of something I don’t even know for sure. I’m just saying, this is what I have come to believe. And it is this: There is no moral order in the universe.

Ten years ago, Chris Hedges spoke of moral courage in this article, giving us a good example of an individual who has exhibited it:
Edward Snowden’s Moral Courage
by Chris Hedges, Feb 23, 2014
I have been to war. I have seen physical courage. But this kind of courage is not moral courage. Very few of even the bravest warriors have moral courage. For moral courage means to defy the crowd, to stand up as a solitary individual, to shun the intoxicating embrace of comradeship, to be disobedient to authority, even at the risk of your life, for a higher principle. And with moral courage comes persecution.
