I for one try to avoid throwing rocks at adulterers. If there is a god and he's that pissed off about it I figure he can handle it himself. A god should not need my help.

What's wrong with throwing rocks at adulterers? A bit rich coming from a person who claims that there is no objective morality. You have no objective evidence that stoning adulterers is an immoral punishment.

They aren't objective morals, they're purely subjective, and yet they haven't led me astray.Well, that depends on what you call "astray" surely. An Atheist mass murderer like Stalin clearly didn't consider his actions "astray", that's the beauty of subjective morality. You can set your own limits.
