The morality question
#13
RE: The morality question
Quote:why is it religious people can't get their head round us atheist's having morals?



You mean apart from the fact that the statement is untrue as a general principle? (Atheism infers nothing about moral values.)

In my experience it's only the especially stupid and ignorant who have that attitude about atheists. That does not extend to most believers I know.

As for the dropkicks, I suspect it's [partly] because they don't want to understand. Such an idea threatens their narrow, rigid belief system and world view, which allows them to make facile generalisations. Something no true atheist would ever do.Angel Cloud
