"Up to you to show how ethics and atheism are contradictory"

Please do not legitimize his pathological and self obsessed idiocy. Atheists don't commit acts of goodness? They roam the earth solely to do evil? They hate their spouses and their kids; they do not feel pain when people suffer?

Why respond to such a mouthy idiot? What went on here a year ago with Chris was cold hard fact. He is what he is.

They are logically contradictory.

Use a Venn diagram.

Ethics is a subset of morality, so the Venn circle for ethics is contained fully within the circle for morality.

Morality is a subset of religion, so the Venn circle for morality is contained fully within the circle for religion.

Atheism is a circle which has no common intersection with the circle of religion.

Therefore, the intersection of ethics and atheism is a null set.

Simple.
