Theists: Hitchens Wager

[Edwardo Piet]

Belief in God is the primary magical power we have my friend, and it's foundation. 

LOL so if I started believing in God I'd get magic powers? Great! Where do I sign up? Where's the nearest mosque? I wanna shoot laser beams outta my eyes, lol.

The wager, though, is what an atheist can't do that a theist can.  Dying (por killing, or killing and dying) for a particular belief in god is something that no atheist could do.  They don't possess that belief.  We commonly consider that to be an instance of immorality, martrydom as evil, because it's so commonly leveraged to what we might consider evil ends. 

It's a difficult question to answer, I've spent some time thinking about it, from time to time.  Like a puzzle, you just want to crack it and offer some credible answer.  So, consider the counterfactual.  If, in some circumstance, that sort of martyrdom was a morally correct (dare I say righteous) act...then wouldn't this by definition be a moral act that an atheist would be incapable of doing?

As I have stated before, the action is seperate from the motivation.

The OP addresses moral actions or statements. Not motivations.

Don't expect him to actually address you accurately, this is Khem we're talking about
