The God you choose to invent and then reject may have a problem with homosexuality, but God does not necessarily have a problem with homosexuality should God exist. It doesn't matter what people believe about God, what people believe has absolutely no relevance to whether or not God exists.
I didn't watch the clip but that looks like Sam Harris, author of the Moral Landscape. His argument for how objective reality could exist absent something correctly called "god" is completely circular. It ultimately boils down to "things are good or bad because they are".
Consciousness as a primary function of the universe would not necessarily mean anything beyond a fact that something correctly call "God" exists. I have never stated that this "God" would necessarily be good or that it would care at all about humanity. I did not say that it would mean that "everything is here just for us to experience it" You are just making things up in your mind.
All I did was offer an argument. I never said my argument was necessarily right. Not that hard to get.
I never claimed atheists don't have morals, I don't know where you are making all these leaps. If morality is purely subjective that is what it is, each person forms or accepts their own personal moral code and lives by it, but morality would not be a real thing. Most of my friends are atheists; they are all good people. All I claimed was that it was illogical for atheists to believe in objective morality but not believe in something that would be called God. If anything I claimed that atheists are illogical, not immoral.
Ugh.
