Respect is earned here not given based on an objective moral authority like God, this is an atheist forum.

Just because you're "girded up" at all times does not mean you must react impatiently with a sharp tongue.
Quote:Bible quotes hereI agree that lots of people seek objective truth and objective right and wrong, despite it being irrational. I don't think it's a crisis, people have been doing that for centuries. The more Science unveils though the less we wonder about things in general, which could factor into your "crisis" mentality.
