[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Oh, sweetie... when I look at the God question rationally, I see absolutely no room for God. It is clear to me that we evolved and morality is a function of our inherent nature as primates who live in troupes. [/quote]

OK, let's assume you are correct.  There is a high price to pay for that position.  If morality is just something that emanates from the mishmash of atoms that comprise a particular human being's perspective, then nothing is actually wrong.  Child rape, genocide, wife beating...not [i]actually[/i] wrong.  Sure, you personally may find those things wrong, and you might even get a coercive power to say they are wrong, but they are not wrong independent of you and your henchmen.  Another powerful group comes along who disagrees with you, and they will then have their list of things that are wrong, like women having the right to vote and black people having equal rights to white people.  And so on and so on.

Morality means nothing if it is dependent on human perspective and power.  Without an Absolute Authority, it's all the same, from Gandhi to ripping hearts out of living children.[/quote]

Of course, they are wrong. They harm people and cause suffering.

People like you terrify me. You are basically saying that if you didn't believe in God, you would run amok and cause great harm and suffering to other people. You project your lack of control onto atheists.
