Bullshit, bullshit. Only a seriously twisted evil person can think that and I know you guys don't really believe that, you're just saying that to give your point more weight, whatever, but still, not cool though. Don't agree with it at all but you're entitled to your opinion.
They don't think evil exists in the first place. So a person who rapes, tortures, and kills a child is not an evil person. And doing those things to a child is not an evil thing to do.
That's a complete strawman. At least for me. Just because atheists don't believe in objective right and wrong, meaning, a morality handed down to us from a supposedly perfect being, that doesn't mean we don't believe that some acts are always wrong, regardless of context or circumstance. To me, raping children is wrong; is always wrong, but someone out there (probably some NAMBLA sicko) believes it's okay. That's what I mean by subjective morality. I'll say fuck that guy; lock him up and throw away the key, and he'll think he is being unjustly discriminated against, lol. That's why we have laws and legal ramifications for hurting people.

Oh, but that's the OLD Testiment, Khem. Ya know...that thing we can simply dismiss because it contains acts and instructions that go against what we personally believe is right and good. Talk about subjective morality...🙄
