Well, yes. And the OP chose this particular act precisely because its emotional impact would skew the conversation, and give him the pleasure of seeing atheists agree with the basic tenet of his theistic morality.

Precisely. It's not even a subtle manipulation, what with all the caps and inverted commas... The question posited in the OP is a philosophical equivalent of a flaming bag of shit, left on a doorstep.

All the more surprised I was seeing this thread being so "enthusiastically" revived...
