My views on objective morality

[God of Mr. Hanky]

Sometimes justice really is more important than somebody's precious feelings, and arrogant special pleading should not be indefinitely overlooked just because the theist in question is cute and smooth. This means sometimes good people need to get their hands dirty.

When I look at this thread, I see what is supposed to be casual conversation between adults with free time on their hands, not a battle in the greater war for justice against the depredations of religion.

A couple of years here taught me that you're not going to change any minds by (metaphorically) bashing their skulls until things re-arrange to your liking. Which I should have known, because I was a believing Christian once and passionate insults had nothing to do with why I'm not anymore.

Has there been a secret meeting to build straw men against those who dared criticise CL for the statements which she did in fact make? That one smells of rotting straw which a troll took a dump in - nobody insults you by demanding that you take a hard, honest look at the words you say! People don't tend to like that, but it's perfectly fair when you say something which offends, intentional or not.
