Quote: You are free to believe whatever you want, just know that what you believe and what is actually true may be two very different things.The same applies to you. You're not immune from being wrong. Only a fool would think otherwise.
Quote: The fact that my observations, which are completely logical and practical, upset you, does not change the truth.Do not assert what is 'truth' if you cannot demonstrate it. Calling it logical or truth does not make it so.
Quote:You may be happy in your ignorance and not believe in God yet still believe in objective morality and good and bad and beauty and wonder, but holding both those beliefs at the same time is irrational and illogical. It's willfully ignorant and hypocritical. But go ahead and believe whatever you like.Morality comes from us, not some god. A does not prove B without first proving A. You can't assert that god is responsible for morality if you have not yet demonstrated that a god exists.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and what I see is very pretty. I am made up of star dust, which is part of the universe. As one put it, "I am the cosmos looking at itself". I exist and it's what I do with this existence that matters.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
