"Killing people for gathering sticks for cooking or staying warm on a Sunday is a moral precept???" The Sabbath is Saturday, but I don't expect you to understand the difference between Saturday and Sunday or Law and Gospel because you get all your information from the lofty intellectuals over at evilbille spewers dot com. "The idea (which Greg holds) that humanity cannot have a moral system unless it is decreed by an infinite power" <<<I don't believe that and have never said anything close to that.>>> "You've argued it consistently for YEARS on this thread." Not surprising that someone who doesn't take the time to distinguish between Saturday and Sunday would also be too intellectually lazy to engage the actual argument and opt instead, for the cheap shot, straw man. I have never said Atheists can't act morally or have some arbitrary moral system. Atheists simply have no transcendent basis for the things they choose to do individually. Most Atheists don't even realize that they have stolen the moral assumptions of other systems and are living off the avails of others. In other words: "A morality of one is not a functional moral system."
