atheism and children

[robvalue]

It makes no sense to me either.

If something is "immoral" but has no specific negative consequences, then I don't much care that it is "immoral". If no harm is being done, who cares? The only harm left is that to the feelings of undemonstrated supernatural beings. If they can have their feelings hurt, they are rather pathetic and very much obviously human constructs. And if they'd stop us doing something merely because they randomly decide it hurts their feelings, they are a deranged dictator.

I have no problem with someone saying they wouldn't personally do [action], for whatever reason, that's up to them. But labelling the action as universally immoral requires justification if you're applying it to people who don't agree with your religion. If immoral simply means "upsets God" then I really couldn't care less what is and isn't immoral.
