— There is a huge problem in your idea of “morality”. Who says that one cannot gain the idea of being a moral, just person without the aid of religion? Better yet, who said that morality stems from religion? It’s funny that a lot of Christians believe that when their Bible openly advocates/justifies slavery and statutory rape. The Old Testament is hardly an outline that a moral person would agree to live by, better yet the New Testament. I also find it humorous that you believe that Christians are so devout and devoted to their concept morality, and don’t delve away from it. Oh how quickly how we ignore the myriad of anti-gay politicians pounding their fists on Washington and then tapping their feet under bathroom stalls. Lets make a hypothetical situation where a Christian and an atheist both raped someone (Since it is all the rage these days in the atheist community. We couldn’t steal the Christians thunder so we waited a few years to jump on the bandwagon). The Atheist would have to defend themselves based on personal, warped ideas and mentalities, not a system of like-minded people to back him/her up. Let me assure you my dear, the only difference is a Christian would have thousands of years of doctrine that people would accept to back up their so called “moral” ways with. On a lighter note, I suggest everyone to read the OP’s blog. If your head doesn’t explode from the overwhelming ignorance, it’s almost comedic.
“In the Atheist/Agnostic community morality is like a cafeteria— a lot of picking and choosing taking place. Atheists don’t have any set of morals they just hop from one thing to another. It’s like a wherever the wind blows type of thing…If today raping people becomes a trend atheist will be hoping on that train too. They are..what’s the world I am looking for? Oh yeah I got it. They are bandwagon jumpers.”
