Where are the Morals?

[Aoi Magi]

Wow, you guys can really type out long posts.

Now Harris, atheism isn't solely dependent on the concept of "evolution", atheism is stemmed in the knowledge that we have gained so far, which includes biology which contains the theory (read facts) of evolution. Every other avenue of knowledge like astronomy, chemistry, physics e.t.c also invalidates almost any divine or supernatural claims. Actually, the false claims in religion is one of the biggest contributors towards the development of science and atheism. We are skeptic because we are trying to find the truth. Simply claiming to know something without actually knowing or understanding it would be dishonest and immoral.

You have claimed a god to be our creator, and he is the founder of morals, and such. You are claiming to know things which you do not actually know but only assume. Do you really know who this god is? how does he look like? what does he think? What determines his actions? Do you know anything for sure about him? Is he actually a "he"?......do you really know the answers, or do you THINK you know?

About Mohammed, no I don't support his actions. Being 1400 years ago doesn't validate the fact that he actually was a pedophile. Rape isn't about having sex with whom you are married or not married but about the consent of the involved individuals. A child especially at that age is not capable of making conscious independent decisions or provide consent. You mentioned her parents provided consent, and that makes it okay, but parents also sell their their children into prostitution in the third world countries even today, does that make it okay? Even without the sex part, forcing a child into marriage when the child is incapable of understanding the implications of it is clearly a violation of her rights.
