"Of course I would consider it wrong but I am not a murderer" But you would see nothing "wrong" with being a murderer IF you did not believe in God. You have made that clear enough. You would have no "reason" not to be one, in any event! (according to you, of course!) "If I were I would simply challenge you to prove from reason alone that what I did was wrong" We would simply hang you. Most of us find it reasonable that people who are a threat to the safety and lives of any in our family/group must be served up on a plate of justice. I know you think that the preservation of life is unreasonable,but your opinions in that regard are just too nutty to discuss. Yes, we would reason with you right up to the cottonwood tree. "That's the atheist's morality not the Christian's" You don't answer an accusation by making a nonsensical remark. I dare say there are atheists who like peanut butter and hate salmon, but your retort is meaningless and non-responsive to the accusation. "You have totally failed to refute this with logic" I have refuted it myriad times, the last time right here: "What a contemptible remark! First, you implied that you would act immorally if there were no (Christian) God to believe in (there being no other basis in your unique and weird weltanschauung for behaving in a civilized manner). Now you go beyond inanity by implying that rationality is associated with "Murder, rape, theft...". Have you thought of giving up your pots for a comedy act?! You think there is something about rape which helps to preserve ones life? Or perhaps you think it is rational NOT to preserve ones life and live in safety? Suicide as an ultimate goal ("going for your gusto" as you call it)?! Or perhaps it is just that you don't have a clue. Does that fit better? Most murders are committed in moments of passion. Rational? Hardly! There is normally nothing rational about it. And it certainly does not promote self interest in any rational way. Murderers, rapists, and thieves lose their freedom when caught--and often their lives. Their lives are never safe and they certainly do not preserve their lives by becoming the enemies of society where most hands are turned against them." Any parts of your post I have not responded to were simply too ad hominem and unresponsive to bother with.
