Well alright then. Yes it was a dig inspired by you but deserved by many. Just to be clear though, I hardly think being compared to a theist is any insult. And, like most theists, you cling to unjustified objectivism.

The little bird, as usual, is wrong.

Or else the self appointed judge who wrote the rule book he thinks applies to others is wrong. On this we obviously disagree.

Actually I did give a reason why I haven't bothered. If you were to provide me with even the slimmest outline of your argument so I could see if there was any hope for your project, I might actually look into it. Otherwise I don't intend to apply the effort required to verify what I already have good reason to believe is doomed.

That's right. Where we disagree is in thinking that there is any objective basis for anyone's morality or that justification is required.
