ICANT responds to me:

Are you saying the mere existence of atheist is a reason for morality to exist?
Since atheists have morality, yes, I am.
Or are you saying that atheists have no morals?
This is pretty much the same argument that Miss Manners has regarding etiquette: It's "restrictive," people cry. And yet, everybody seems to get upset over rude behaviour. They may not follow all the rules that traditional etiquette has, but they certainly have ideas about what is rude and what isn't and get reliably miffed when those rules are violated.
Since atheists have morality and since atheists have no god, the idea that god writes morality on people is proven false by the mere existence of atheists.
quote:
I am saying mankind has decided what was good and what was evil since the first man ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
But atheists prove that wrong.
Or are you saying atheists don't understand their own philosophy? That you know better than they do about where they get their philosophy?
quote:
You are what you choose to be.
You realize you just contradicted your own claim. If we are what we choose to be, then god has nothing to do with it.
