An alternative view.
I began thinkin about the question and came up with perhaps a different answer.
The claim and supporting argument that atheists are moral nihilists contains a moral judgment and some unfounded assumptions.. In context the claim is made as an accusation which "as atheists", we need to refute.We are under no such obligation.
My position: The belief,feelings and motivations of others is none of my business nor are mine any of theirs.We judge others and are judged by behaviour.
The claim is irrelevant, a crude attempt of a believer to gain a moral high ground to which believers as group have no claim... I feel foolish,for not having realised this sooner,and wasted my time on a bloody minded fool.
DISCLAIMER : Admin: "Bloody minded fool" was not mean as an insult,merely an accurate description. Please feel free to edit it out if you feel I've crossed the line.
