I think what he means to say is that saying that morality only lacks justification if you aren't already moral is more than a little absurd.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

You're just deceiving yourself. If you want to be truly concerned for others then you need to become humble. You need to believe that Jesus humbled himself, he came to earth as a man to share in our suffering (he himself was without sin). Then you can truly believe that every human being is lovable.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Congrats, you came up with something more absurd than a tautology... also, feel free to expose the arrogance of thinking morality involves helping other people. That should be an interesting argument.Originally posted by Kidicious View Post You're one of the proudest people I've ever run into. Seriously? You think this highly of yourself?

The fact that Stalin was an atheist isn't what made him evil. The fact that he butchered and starved millions of people made him evil. He didn't do that because he was atheist.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

He did it because mustaches are inherently evil. Everyone knows that
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Oh no, the problem was that he didn't believe in Jesus. Atheists need to take a lesson from the Christians who run the Mexican drug cartels.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostComment

For moral behavior? Because it draws me closer to God, and is therefore in my own best interests. It may sound like an absurd reason to you, but the way I see it, an absurd reason is better than no reason at all. And A-because-A is, in effect, no reason at all. Of course, you can say that it's absurd to believe in God as well. I just happened to pick a different absurdity than you did, is all.Originally posted by gribbler View Post
I think I need to say "absurd" some more. Absurd absurd absurd.Comment

Stalin received his education at a Christian seminary though.
