I'm so glad that here in the U.S. nobody has a right to not be offended.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Wait, I thought atheists believe morals are socially relative, so how is anything that Russia is doing here wrong? I am sorry, but you can’t have it both ways guys.

Atheists do not all believe the same thing. That being said, I think morals are relative to a society but how does that free those morals from criticism?

I will savor the irony every time I tell some conservative dickshitter to move to Russia if he doesn't like American values.

The problem with this is that the god from which your 'moral' code stems is indistinguishable from a human psychopath, so God's morals are not morals at all, by definition, as psychopaths are devoid of morals and can therefore not be the source of any.

The shit I learn at AF.org. Before now I didn't realize that one person's dictates, backed by a powerfully rich minority, constituted social relativism. Who knew?
