Moral standards

[Esquilax]

Frustrated? Dealing with the moral issues seems to be your specialty.

Well, I get a lot of practice.

So often, when a theist asks about secular morality, the immediate implication they make is that we simply don't have a basis for morality without god, that theism- and the particular religion of the questioner specifically- owns morality, and the only reason we poor benighted atheists aren't out murdering and raping is because we steal our morals from theism. The combined accusations of dishonesty and immorality, plus the fiat assertion- that the questioner never seems to feel they need to defend- that morals belong to them, do get frustrating.

I dont agree with everything that you have to say about the issue but I appreciate the intelligent and civil conversation. Better than a dance and more fun than duel.

You, as compared to some others, have conducted yourself far more honestly and openly, even if we do disagree on some points. It's been a refreshing change, now that I think about it.
