What do Atheists believe the Bible as?

[Autumnlicious]

Oh my, how patently optimistic.
I wasn't aware she, and now you, were invested in making legitimate points. Rather, without the juvenile name calling and personal attacks, as she demonstrates herself more apt to afford, and now you in her defense, I doubt very much it would be worth my while to pursue a serious conversation.

Alrighty then Princess, you may retreat and not grace us with your presence.

The mindless platitudes you regurgitate as an accusation toward myself, are demonstrated repeatedly on almost a thread by thread basis by Aerzia. And you do yourself no great service in supporting everything she's had to say about criminality, interjecting your own observations, while concluding with the same asinine personal jab as is indicative of her nature.

Wait, so I'm not allowed to put forth my interpretation of what another has written to demonstrate my understanding and support thereof?

And the "she did it first" mentality will not go far here.

Reasonable people know common sense, morality and decency can never be legislated. A personal moral code exists in the individual, or it does not. And while morality is not universal, that fact about it is.

Reasonable people also know that unreasonable people exist, and we have legislation to deal with such. We also have legislation to deal with gray areas and failures of 'reasonable' people.

I am a bit stopped by the individual's moral code. So fucking what?

There are quite a few 'moral' people who think that abortion is infanticide and will murder abortion doctors in cold blood.

All you've managed to do is state 'morality exists in certain beings'. Big whoop.

It all comes down to who we are and what we can live with.

Once you bring in relativism, a lot of the 'moral' things you've mentioned fly out a window.

However, while wasting my breath to indulge you with even that little bit, because a serious discourse is not your intent, when someone says my idea of criminality is fucked when they're a criminal, I don't give a care what she or you in her defense think of my taking issue with it.

See below the first quote.
