Maybe there is a language bareer here since english isnt my mothertounge.
From what I read, you believe that atheists generaly shove the responsibility for their actions on best selling or famous atheists. correct?
if yes. my answere is: I considere myself responsible for every action I take and abide to the laws of my land.
And the crime rates dont exactly show the supposedly "unresponsible atheist" being on top.
Quote:For an atheist to rebuke someone, it is almost like that atheist is challenging them to a debate. Their is no moral authority, atheism is simply a conversation where each makes up their own mind about how to live, and few are ever held resposible (except perhaps for being intellectually mediocre)
Well, one makes up ones own mind to how one lives - you are right with that ( in most cases, some atheists dont)
but the difference is: most atheists do take responsiblity for their actions.
or can you prove something different?
