"Whether God provides it so that we can dicifer it or that it just exists as ideas in the aether that are rationally derivable; we all agree that morality exists" Correct. We can all agree on morality--which is observable and capable of experience. Whether God exists is akin to the possibility of whether there are refrigerators in my toes. Nobody seems to have proof for or against such a belief so why should I not claim it as equal to the "God" belief (which is, of course, contradicted by several hundred thousand other "God" beliefs). One hates to laugh. Certainly I will not mock. And yet one hates to laugh... If only a particular theist could give even the most feeble rationale for his/her dogmatic structure? That would be such an experience! How great if we could all simply live in peace and brotherhood and admit to what we do and do not know. How great if we could share awe and mystery without bowing to liars, charlatans, and misfits? Do we catch a comet or do we make home-made bombs? Only the most refined idiots of society can guide us in such a relentless fog... Of course we could always ignore them and choose to live with a humanist creed, and to ignore our moral superiors from everywhere...
