He'll probably be one of those 'it takes more faith to believe in science' people.

It's the god of the gaps. I don't know or don't understand, therefore GOD!

Trying to argue logic, and then giving something in your argument a loophole is essentially an admission that the logic doesn't follow.
Quote:Objective mroality coming from any individual is an oxymoron.
I believe all morality is subjective. Opinions of what is and isn't moral have evolved over time as society evolved. It's ridiculous to me to use an ancient book as the source of morality, but the point is, in practice, it is to Christians to. Christians don't generally stone people to death, or sell their daughters, or send their wives out of the city when they're menstruating. But when you tell them the Bible commands it, they excuse it by saying, 'That's the old law, and Jesus did away with the old law' or some other BS like that.

I'm sure it makes some kind of warped sense in the guy's head. When you start accepting things on faith, you allow yourself to make exceptions to logic.

Yet, they'll ask an atheist, 'Who created the Big Bang, then?'
