My friend said this today:
Why do all Christians think morality has to be divinely inspired, and that if we don't believe in God, and only in the material world, there is no morality? So what if it's subjective? That doesn't mean we can't work to do good things for others and live better lives. I take it as an insult when they flaunt their *moral superiority* in my face.
Quote:""Equality is a lie concocted by inferior people who arrange themselves in herds to overpower those who are naturally superior to them. The morality of 'equal rights' is here mortality, and because it opposes the cultivation of superior individuals, it leads to the corruption if the human species."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Nietzsche was one of the worlds most known and influential atheist philosophers, and this is what he thinks of human value. I'm not going to lie, he is much more honest than these "New Atheists" (Dawkins, Harris, Dennet, Hitchens). From their standpoint, they have no right to claim human equality. This is where atheism gets us."

"The consolations of philosophy and the beauties of science; these things are infinitely more awe-inspiring and regenerating and majestic than any invocation of the burning bush or doctrine." - Christopher Hitchens
