Looks like it's a subject the right wing religious nutjob set doesn't want to discuss.
I imagine self-identifying "moral atheists" are somewhat more common than "amoral theists" who would own up to it. Neat rhetorical spin, though.
(No more "EDIT" markings from me. Pedantry (and version history) be damned. Snappy answers that I think up after the fact are just going to show up unannounced from now on, if they cross my mind before the "edit" link goes away 🙂 ... grammar and spelling fixes too. You get what RHP will let me give you.)

How do you account for the Glen Becks of the world who spout such bigoted nonsense and the David Koreshes and the like?
having no moral standards, restraints, or principles; unaware of or indifferent to questions of right or wrong, exactly?

His puke going over the air actually effects people's thinking just like the idiots who listen to Rush Limberger and ACTUALLY TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY. That is where these kind of people are being amoral or immoral. They are like the leaders of the KKK who spout hate on the radio and when someone gets killed, he just says, I never told anyone to kill.......

Originally posted by sonhouseI don't think you've explained your position on what he does/says that makes him amoral/immoral. I can't say I've heard even a sentence from him--- although I've heard an awful lot about him. What don't you like about him?
