[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A well-known atheist blogger recently converted to Catholicism.  Why?  Because of this question:

On whose authority do I claim an act as good or evil?

This is also known as the argument from conscience.

This is the question every atheist ultimately needs to answer.  No atheist on this thread has been able to do so yet.

That's why they are still able to be atheists.[/quote]

Since we're rational atheists (and because it sounds like the kind of stuff we see from our religious cousins on Facebook all the time) we're going to need a cite on this one.  :)[/quote]

Every culture has deviants - even atheists  :twisted:

I find it curious that none of these people ever seem to explain why they choose their particular god of choice. Of all the thousands and thousands of gods, and thousands of morality codes those gods have bestowed, why that one? [/quote]

Can you provide any evidence of "other gods" proving their word/existence either through action or deed?
[/quote]

No religion can do that, because their only way of verifying or proving "existence" comes only from those within (and they all do that)[/quote]

For Christians who believe in the Bible, there were acts of miracles and the evidence of God's existence.

Does this sort of proof exist among other religions?[/quote]

Um. You need to get out more, or take a basic comparative theology course. ALL religions say they're right, and ALL religions have their own "miracles" or internal proof. [/quote]

I understand other religions and what they believe. Not really sure why you find it necessary to be rude. [/quote]

Come now. You tried to sneak in the assertion that Christianity had some sort of privileged place among world religions because of "miracles". I'm not the PP, but I agree that was a rather silly (or disingenuous) point. Any other believers who fail to see that distinction?[/quote]

No, I was merely asking. I think you have that opinion of Christians (which is rightly justified in many cases), but that was not my intention. [/quote]
