Quote:I may take a stab at this one, though it will be my last post for the night. homosexuallity attacks the very foundation that marriage and family are based upon. the unnatural union of two men, or two women, degrades the value that family gives to society.I don't think it does. People loving each other, same sex or not. It won't devalue anything, if anything it promotes freedom. The freedom to love the other, same sex or not. Fact is, peoples love for each other has nothing to do with you. I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect you in anyway, so why have any kind of problem with it? In history, like ancient Rome and Greece, homosexuality was common and very much accepted, it was only till Christians came about that started attacking homosexuals. I say, leave them be.
Quote:ultimatly though, you cannot get an answer to this. I am new to this, but i have already read more than one post where an atheist said they were "good people", but to who's standards, because if you dont believe in any form of "god", and have no standard to base right or wrong of of but your own, how do you know what is what?Morality does not come from religion, it's been demonstrated hundreds of times. I've been an atheist all my life, never have I committed a single crime.
Atheists do have ideals and principles, we can think for ourselves and use reason. Morality can come from intelligence and with the ability to use reason, we can and are just as moral as the next guy.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
