Would you like some mayo with your red herrings?

"So, if you did not believe in God (the Christian one) you would then not consider killing innocent people wrong?"

Of course I would consider it wrong but I am not a murderer. If I were I would simply challenge you to prove from reason alone that what I did was wrong. That's exactly what the Nazi's did. They complained (with some degree of accuracy) that the winners of the war were simply imposing their morals on them by force.

"That is because they had a morality based on "might is right";"

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

"What did the superstitious always attack? REASON.....Why do they hate reason? Simply this: because reason opposes the morality of "might is right"

That's the atheist's morality not the Christian's.

"In the social creatures referred to as Homo sapiens there are certain behaviors which rationally lead to profit. These include..."

"<<<Murder, rape, theft, deceit, etc etc etc....>>>"

You have totally failed to refute this with logic, so you have nothing left but to throw around more red herrings.

"Have you not read just a little history and noticed that freedom and individual rights correspond to the rise of reason in culture after culture?"

The jury of History is still out on the ultimate results of the "enlightenment". As previously noted the ones that have tried; notably Russia and China have ended rather badly. What we are beginning to see is the dissolution of society that comes as the enlightenment principals are put into practice by the new Priesthood of the Judiciary.

"Perhaps your fanaticism has blinded you in both eyes."

<<<Physician heal thyself.>>>
