Subject: RE: BS: The 'moral' Atheist?
No Foolestroupe you are anti-theist, represented by a ven diagram of a circle representing all theists and a cartoon of you beating that circle with a metaphorical stick and tarring it with the same metaphorical brush.

We are known by our actions. Those are your actions.

Capri-Uni,

I agree to a degree. But I don't think that Dawkins has been discredited to the same degree that Robertson has. But give him time and let him speak and he will. The more he speaks the more people will speak against what he is saying as I have.

Mrrzy,

I am well aware of Niven, who writes as Foolstoupes, concept of a non-theist would. Theism is simply not a part of his visions of a future Earth. Niven certainly does have the imagination to draw many lines from non-theism to atrocities. In short, Niven's writing refutes
Dawkin's argument.

I think I have made the point that different versions of morality can be generated from different personal circumstances.

I don't think that I will get ideas from Steve or Foolstroupe how they see morality independently form their dislike of Christian practice. Other people like Bill and Capri have given logical and satisfying answers so obviously the flaw is not in Atheism as a whole. I think my question has been answered as much as it is going to be. Thanks all. It has been a stimulating and informative discussion.
