Evil Atheists

[little_monkey]

So far there has been a variey of responses, from "atheists are moral too" (not relevant) up to and including sky wizard hilarity (so clever). Yet no-one has addressed the problem of subjective morality when two opposing subjective viewpoints meet. Its descended into the expected undergraduate hilarious wit (see sky wizards etc) and personal attacks based on assumptions made about my personal beliefs. Is that the best that the "new atheists" can offer? I think the future of theism is safe in your hands people, just keep up the juvenile insults and avoidance of philosophical lines of questioning, repeating off the peg responses seems the be the order of the day, especially if they are non-relevant but get a round of applause from the choir...

I admit that I came into this thread a little late, but I did give you an answer to your scenario about your atheist "friend" lying, cheating, stabbing...

Now the problem of subjective morality when two opposing subjective viewpoints meet is a different situation. How do you resolve when a Muslim imposes his morality on a Christian? I think you know that this is a potentially dangerous situation, and if no one budges from his position, the only resolution can be war. The question is: should the world be put on the edge of armageddon because two sides claim to have the absolute truth, when in reality they are both delusional?
