Thats perfectly fine, at least you're honest in saying you won'y answer the question. I really don't understand the need for the unpleasant nature of your posts, or indeed the assumptions that you make about me (learn a big word etc). You are entitled to your opinion of course. Can you explain how my personal beliefs are relevant to YOUR response to a valid question? I'm not trying to show anything, I'm looking for answers...
I think the whole issue is getting lost at the moment. I'm not arguing that theism is morally superior, or that atheists cannot be moral people, or defending any particular form of theism. My problem is that (irrespective of my own personal beliefs) I can see no logical reason for an atheist to behave morally. If an atheist decides to act in an awful way towards other, how can his view of what he thinks is correct be refuted by another atheist. This isn't a question of atheism vs theism. Empathy and sympathy for others are admirable traits but vary in every person. I'm struggling to understand why people seem to be taking this personally and responding with posts that question myself as a peson and make huge assumptions about my motives and beliefs, is this the level of discussion on this forum?
