You seem to have repeated yourself. Can you elaborate, please? Why is survival of the group important?

Re: Creationist summary? vs rationalist summary
Do human beings need to survive, individually or collectively?

Christianity, obviously.
Can you cite one example of Hitler invoking the name of Jesus Christ?

Yet there are Hitler quotes that indicate he hated Christianity. So it's a very confusing picture. Anyhow, there always exists the distinct possibility that he used pro-Christian rhetoric to appeal to a Christiian audience. Oldest trick in the book.
Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.

Re: Evolutionists can not explain morals
Taq writes:
the commands of a deity as written by men
As I pointed out in an earlier post, if no Gods or gods exist, some of the morality invented by religions is as valid as any non-religious morality, because it is still the morality of human beings.
To illustrate this point, if there were no religions, a great many people would still consider homosexuality to be immoral; likewise, many people would still consider abortion immoral.
