I have already explained it in great detail. I don’t believe there is any argument you would accept.While I did read your signature and find it amusing, I have not based any of my responses on your signature.Not exactly. I clarified it. I am assuming you read my signature on socialism and took it out of context. There are several sentences which must be read together to understand the context. I have no doubt you have morals. We may even agree on many of them. But I believe your morals tend to be relativistic.Okay- so you have retracted your claim that atheists cannot have moral values.No. They can have moral values. They don’t believe moral values are absolute. So they can be anything a society decides.Great- then we are back to my previous challengeNo. I stand by that. That is the logical consequence of materialism.
Do you really believe that people who don't have religion can't have moral values? Because that is what you said.
Prove that I have no concept of right or wrong since I don't believe in any fairy tales.
Prove your position.
This can be an interesting debate- and if you would prefer we can start a new thread devoted exclusively to that topic- "Can athiests have a concept of right or wrong- and related- do those who have faith in a religion have superior concepts of what is right or wrong?
But we are still left with your claim that I have no concept of right or wrong.
Prove that I have no concept of right or wrong since I don't believe in any fairy tales.
Prove your position.
Your moral relativism has nothing to do with not believing in my “fairy tales” as you so rudely put it. There are Christians who practice moral relativity. Just as there are atheists who believe in absolute morals.
Try to separate my signature line from this OP. This OP is limited to the fact that atheists cannot make an affirmative case for atheism because it is not possible to prove a negative. Which is why we see atheists in the religion forum criticizing the religions of others. It’s the only way they can validate their beliefs.
Tell me more about my 'moral relativism' versus your moral absolutism'- give me concrete examples.
More specifically- prove what you claimed about me- prove that I have no concept of right or wrong. Do you want me to go back to your original quote?
