Sticks and stones…see how easily you conform to the stereotype of the angry atheist, making false and hypocritical accusations, railing against rational arguments you clearly do not understand, and falsely assuming that everyone shares your unrepentant libertine proclivities and obsessions.

So I’ve been told. Most atheists are; however, ontological naturalists and/or physical reductionists. The logical consequences of these particular philosophies undermine both meaning and rationality.

I only say that the formulations of secular morality tacitly accept the role of conscience, which is providentially supplied, even if by means of natural selection.

Even without a belief in god, people still have a providentially supplied conscience. What is expressly stated by the Christian religion is that people must recognize there evils as sins and repent before they can be regenerated into the life everlasting. None of this is possible without being born again in the Lord.
