You have had 6 opportunities (if I remember correctly) to correct your original idiot assertion with nothing referred to. Maybe this could be a lesson to you that such pretense is just as much lying as any other example of lying. "<<<"Idolatry is wrong precisely because men have enough knowledge about the true God* to leave them without excuse.">>>" I agree that is bigotry...but finally we have PINNED DOWN WHO SAID IT! :-) I said statements of fact, but the "True God" bigotry quote came from you! All this started when you claimed that the Christian God wrote RIGHT and WRONG on ALL hearts (HEY! To Hell with all other religions!!!) and that every person who does wrong is therefore guilty. Unfortunately, people clash and war all the time in full sincerity that they are doing right which sends you right back down the mouse hole! Bolding added for clarity!--LOL!*

To summarize your position: Position ONE Atheists and humanists have no basis on which to know right from wrong. Position TWO Sorry...what I mean is that people have a basis for knowing right from wrong after all because the Christian God "wrote it upon their hearts." Position THREE Morality is Absolute because I say so; therefore, every time a clash of values occurs where the participants are harmed it means that at least one of them knowingly acted immorally because right and wrong were written on their hearts. Thus, the horrors of the Inquisition were either not wrong or the Church knew they were doing wrong for several centuries and intentionally chose to do the work of Satan by committing ongoing evil. Yes, Greg...you have a brilliant basis for morality.
