Where do atheists get their morality from?

4. No Preaching
To advocate, especially to urge acceptance of or compliance with your own theology, philosophy or point of view is not permitted. If you want to preach, get yourself a soapbox in hyde park and don't do it here. You are welcome to discuss your own beliefs, why you believe them, etc. Just don't expect or demand anyone to agree with them.

Anybody, atheist or theist, is free to make whatever argument they want and be judged on the merits of the case they present. This isn't a theistic, tribal society where they must present the correct shibboleth before they are accepted in. Your repeated raising the question of whether Vinny is atheist is both badgering and a personal attack and frankly I'm sick of your shit. Everybody here is free to follow the dictates of their conscience and ye shall know them by their fruits. It's none of your fucking business. You aren't the forum police. Thankfully that job is already in competent hands.

I have every right to point out that Vinny is dishonest in his replies and that he isn't telling the truth. It's none of your bloody business if I write my own observation. Who the hell do you think you are? Thank God you aren't the forum police. I have as much right to express my view that Vinny is not an atheist although he pretends to be and if you don't like reading what I post, you are at liberty to put me on ignore. I don't give a shit what you think. If you are sick, go see a doctor.

That's not necessarily the case. From my perspective, you are violating this forum's rules against preaching by attempting to badger Vinny into representing himself the way that you think he should.

You would be lucky if I were to put you on ignore, but I am not going to do so. Instead, I am going to be reporting future posts obsessing over Vinny's alleged sins as preaching and thus a violation of the forum rules, and I urge others to do likewise.

(It's also a borderline personal attack as you are dedicating posts simply to calling him a liar rather than responding substantially to the things he says. [Not to mention they are essentially ad hominems, and thus stupid and irrelevant])

@Undeceived: I want to commend you for your candid response. I don't actually know what other theists would do, but I compliment you for taking the time to at least investigate the arguments. I'm sure there are many who wouldn't do likewise. (Though as noted, how many, I do not know.) I disagree with your understanding of the implications of evolution, but have no real interest in entering that debate.
