I've never seen a Theist really justify love or why they should strive for anything meaningful.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I have never made such an absurd comment. First, produce evidence that any god exists. Then we can discuss it.
You are still a long way from Step #1 and all the word salad you churn out ad nauseam moves you no closer.
If anything - it is metaphorical speaking. When we discuss or talk to theists, we say what we do as "if" their god existed because we have to dumb it down to their level.
By the way, if the magical sky daddy were real, how come he won't accept my offer to buy him lunch and a drink and discuss the heavy stuff that no preacher or clergy person could ever answer for me?

I can only read a few lines of MK's posts. He is preaching. Life is too short to give any time to preachers.

Guys, I wonder what we would sound like if we lived our lives by "other" books of fiction? Lord of the Rings? Harry Potter? James and the giant peach?, etc...
I'd imagine it would make for some entertaining insights!
As long as there's no prayer rugs involved! (I'm funny like that!)

All I know is that any of these books would make waaaaaaaaaaaay better holy books than the bible or the quran.

You guys always mention how are we connected to God if God exists. How can we know him. I am explaining it has to be by a leader and living guide that connects to God, a living connection who is the connector to God and is the connection by which we recognized the named in the beautiful names of God.
I am trying to show that knowledge of the self, knowledge of the Guide (Connection) and knowledge of the Absolute is one and the same.
I have always gone the root of talking about morality and value, etc, but now I going the route that morality is not conceptual, value is not conceptual, love is not mere emotion, we are connected by a mystic link to all things in the universe and the source of the mystic link, it's Lord and Creator.
It's the reality, it's the mystic link, it's the perception, that you guys always ask: "what is morality, what is objective morality, describe it etc"....and I left it fuzzy most of the time, but now am describing the tree of light we are all connected to. The Love by which all are connected to each other and something beyond all of us.
Love is not a mere chemical, it is our leader channeling us his blessings and help, and calling us back to the path. He asks forgiveness for us and suffers when we sin or our souls perish or get darker, he is in deep sorrow, this tree of light connected to all us, he is our leader, our witness, morality is not a concept, no such thing as a concept being binding us and making us obligated to value and love, that is absurd, it's a reality, and God is the source of it, but the connection is a living being, a real thing.
I don't know how you define preaching but I never seen Atheist ever justify love or morality or value or even why they should strive for anything meaningful or believing in meaning.
These things I describe not only answer what praise and morality is, it shows why Quran has called it the name of God and emphasized on it being the name of God and emphasized on the Captains who are instances of the name of God and leaders of humans, and each human will be called with a leader from them, a driver, a witness....every people will be called with a witness from themselves.
It shows truly the only answer, if you would only give a ear.
What the hell are you talking about? We reject the claim of all god claims, not just your pet claim.

At least we try, Atheists don't even try.
