And you have the gall to say the atheist's morality is wanting?!
Originally posted by dj2beckerIf you could be a little bit more specific here it would help the discussion. Are you talking about the Holocaust? Do you think that the German people knew about and approved of death camps?

Originally posted by KellyJayOf course not. Governments do appalling, immoral things all the time. Do you think that the actions of a nation's government accurately reflect the members of that society's views on what is right and wrong?

Originally posted by avalanchethecatSo who represents a people if not the leadership? Do you think that there is a polling taking place that judges what everyone thinks? Are we to think everyone thinks like we do, so it's just understood what all the people think?

If you want to think your views are the majority then just hang around like minded people. That way you're illusion will remain intact.
Originally posted by KellyJayI don't understand what you are saying. Are you asking how we perceive the consensus on our shared morality?

There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that every single Atheist that has ever lived, will in one way or another come under Jesus Christ in unconditional surrender.
In eternity future no Atheism will exist.
You see how today no T-Rexs exist ?
See how today no Brontosaurus exists ?
We are all headed for a universe in which Atheism will be totally extinct.
