Do mimsy atheists gyre and gimble in the wabe?

[Kyuuketsuki]

You people are just crazy.

You believe in invisible men in the sky and you think we're crazy?

My first point is a question, one that I do not intend to sound trivial but, in fact, quite sincere: "Why do you expect atheists to conduct themselves with moral etiquette?" You do have this expectation, but I find myself wondering how you came to have it. I should like this point to be addressed by you. (And I mean Pippy, since the question is not addressed to anyone else.)

And my return question to you is why on Earth would you expect atheists NOT to have a decent sense of behaviour, of etiquette, of morality (which I suppose is where you're going with this)?

There's a significant difference between those subjects Dotard. The difference is key. The effect of theology can be significant and positive. The opposite is true of numenrology and astrology. This forum exists to discuss theological issues yet non theists here deny it's existence. Very odd don't you think?

Why is there a "significant" difference? To most of us here there is no difference at all (they're all pie in the sky, fairy gah gah land rubbish) so justify that point please.

Not all PsOV are worthy of respect and I see no particular reason to suspect a belief in an invisible man in the sky over a belief that the stars dictate some aspect of our personalities ... in fact I'd actually say that I lean a little in favour of the astrology inasmuch as I can envisage that gravity, fields, and so on could have some marginal effect on us (I don't actually believe it).
