I never said you did, but what other 'proof' is there?

Why not?
Quote:If fairies were discovered to exist tomorrow it would not affect my views on morality.
How can you say that a lack of acknowledgement or disbelief in gods has an effect, but meeting a real fairy would not? You agreed with my statement of atheism being a part of the persona, so why would you not think that a belief in fairies could mold one's world view. Even if only a minute smidgen?
Quote:If the God of the Bible appeared to you tomorrow I assure you that you’d do some revising of your worldview.
I would need to seek psychiatric help for sure. Besides, if the god-of-the-bible showed up, I would seek Satan out to save me from enslavement. I have no desire to board the Borg ship or spend eternity tending god's garden. (Revelations 21:9-17/Genesis 2:15)

My assumption was your Dahmer quote was to suggest the evils of atheist morality. The Inquisition was not one, but a whole congress of people dedicated to enforcing the 'moral code' of the bible.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
