By all means continue your with recalitrant attitude and ignorant drivel.
I will say nothing furthers as I bask in the warm glow of superiority which comes from being right and the realistation that one's opponent is a stuffwit.
If you're not rational you don't belong in the atheist fold.
Sorry if I hurt your feelings, alright? I just have a think about ignorant schmucks taking their two-bit beliefs and turning atheism from the smart, reasonable alternative into the intellectual custard that your beliefs represent. I strongly believe that atheists need to be educated on topics like ethics and morality. Moral theories, consequentialism and deontology, the foundations of ethics, the realism/anti-realism paradigm, and other things that make for serious discourse on ethics for the atheist.
It's this kind of discussion that trickles down and gives the less-academic atheist a chance to understand what they believe about morality, and how best to think about it in the context of atheism. If that makes you scoff, then really I can't say any more.
