Can objective morality exist in Atheism?

RE: Can objective morality exist in Atheism?
Objectivitees Wrote:Since it has the basic elements of a world view, why do you believe it is not a world view? let me save you some time. You claim it is not a worldview because you know deep down inside that if you admitted that, you'd have to defend your inability to behave in a manner that comports with the presuppositions of the belief.

I've already explained why it does not. Here is a real definition of worldview. In the future, perhaps you could refrain from telling me why I disagree with something.

Objectivitees Wrote:In short, the claim Atheism is not a world view is nothing more than an avoidance technique for Atheists to not have an honest debate. You fear having to explain why you believe rape and murder are "wrong" when in Atheism, there can exist no absolute morality.

I am going to find it really difficult to have a polite conversation with someone who tries to tell me what I think and fear, based solely on the fact that I don't believe in a god or gods. However, I will try.

You are wrong. Honest debate is something that many (not all) atheists enjoy. I can easily explain why I think rape and murder are wrong, but you didn't ask, so I won't. The thing that you are missing is that I can believe that rape and murder are wrong and another atheist can be a serial killer. The only thing I and said serial killer have in common is that we don't believe in a god or gods. As for your comment about no absolute morality existing in atheism, it shows me that you lack a basic understanding of what atheism is.
