No it's not a moot point. No, that describes my views in relationship to your moral beliefs. But I just indicated my beliefs, and didn't say anything about my actions.
I also don't see myself as unique, but as much an everyman, with nothing particular about my environment or moral development distinct from most people in the world, so if I constitute as a shitty person, it's unlikely to be a unique judgement, but one that can be leveled at humanity as a whole, as a result of shared environments and biological histories.
I don't even get the point of this new diversion. You failed to make the case for god belief. Explicitly describing yourself as a complete douche, as though this had anything to say on moral authority...when you had previously argued to the contrary yourself...was superfluous.
For all this meaningless and irrelevant shit about inconsistency in others and some non-existent contradiction between atheism and realism, you've expressed meaningful and relevant inconsistencies in your own beliefs, beliefs which you are cagey and duplicitous about. Yours has been a running example in how not to offer a challenging or sophisticated theology.

What percentage of theists, let say Christians would disagree that all men can know of God, is what God reveals to them? That man can know nothing more of God than his revelation?
I’m pointing out that hardly any Christian, fundie, or otherwise would disagree with this, it’s just that you fail to understand basic theistic beliefs like this.
Someone clearly has to point it out to you...because you don't have the first clue wtf you're talking about, lol?
You believe that life has meaning. Well..welcome to the club? That doesn't make you a theist, and that's not the thing that atheism refers to.
What is the ‘thing’ that atheism refers to? How does atheism define ‘god’? There are some individuals like buckyball who label themselves ignostic, because the term god is vague and ambiguous, lacks any singular meaning, but it seems your operating on a very specific meaning.
Please provide that definition, and also is atheism dependent on subscribing to this definition your outlining?

lol, I don't even know how I'm suppose to be anymore shitty than you or anyone else here is, or how your supposedly morally superior to people like myself?
You seem to have based this judgement solely on our differences in beliefs, my rejection of your dewey eyed moral views, and not on any of my actions.
