How does that have any bearing on reality? Immoral according to who, or what?
How does morality make any sense independent of a point of view? A neutral universe doesn't care what happens.
I see where you're coming from, Rob. From an atheists perspective, believing that anything can be objectively immoral makes 0 sense. Believing in a higher power certainly goes hand in hand with objective morality.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
