Moral Nihilism

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Oh dear here we go again. THAT old canard "atheists are immoral/amoral."

Atheists have one and only one thing in common: a lack of belief in god(s). There in no such thing as an "atheist position" on any other subject whatsoever.

I don’t see how an atheist can say with a straight face, as he ought, that Hitler’s gas chambers at Auschwitz or Stalin’s mines at Kolyma, have the same moral import as say Mother Theresa’s charitable work

Straw man fallacy.I have never made such a claim,nor seen,heard or read of any other atheist do so.

From Wiki

A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting a superficially similar proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.[1]

Atheism logically entails moral nihilism,

No does not.. Atheism implies (suggest) or infers (concludes) NOTHING apart from a disbelief in god(s) I speak for myself. I do not speak for other atheist nor they for me. I'm a moral relativist.That means I reject the notion of absolute moral imperatives,not the notion of morality.Day-to-day ,I live within what would be called a Judaeo-Christian moral/ethical frame work: I obey the law pay my taxes (I have never cheated on my taxes in my life because I believe it's morally wrong) I don't lie, steal, harm other living creatures nor sleep with other mens' wives.These are all moral prohibitions,a based on my guiding life philosophy which is egoism,(moral,rational and psychological).

I assert that there are exceptions to every absolute moral law of which I've ever heard. THAT'S what I mean by moral relativism.Be thrilled if you can give me an exception without appealing to revealed text,which I reject as a moral authority..

To come to this forum and accuse me,others members and atheists generally of amorality is arrogant, ignorant and offensive.
