I'm tired of Christians and Atheists saying someone who does the right thing did not really do the right thing just because it did not come from their own beliefs.
That problem is almost exclusively the problem of religious people. I'm more familiar with Christians being guilty of this. They like to say that atheists have no right to decide if something is immoral because atheists didn't get their morality from God. Of course, I'd like to tell them they're true idiots for talking rot but they're so stupid nothing penetrates their skull.
The injustice of what Christians usually say in forums makes me want to scream. It's so bloody insane and they don't seem to realize it. In a perfect world, many Christians in forums would be thrown into a padded cell.
I'm with you there about how tiresome it is to insist on a source for morality. But you are wrong. Atheists are never guilty of this. They might resort to talking about where morality comes from as a REACTION to Christians who insist that atheists have no right to decide on morality because they don't derive their moral rules from God. It's the insanity of Christians that brings all this up.
I've seen so many unjust and insane (it's always insane for religious folks) things Christians say of atheists that if I could write it all in a book, it'll run into several volumes. When our Lord says we should see the beam in our own eyes and not the speck in another's eyes, he meant it SOLELY for us self-righteous Christian bastards.
