But actually, he is right. By definition, there is no moral imperative in atheism. Moral imperative doesn't come from not believing in something. His reasoning why is totally wrong, but atheism by and of itself is not a reason for, or motivator of, moral conduct. Just semantics, but that is the case. But you can also argue that moral imperative in religion is if anything more subjective and highly forced, based on judgmental dogma. Any moral code or implied moral behavior outside of religion is based on common understanding and experience over time.

Oh, and augustine, aka jstrodel aka Joseph. Sockpuppets are rude and against the rules. Bye.

Thankfully there's no moral imperative in atheism and unfortunately there is t in religions, like Christianity for example, claiming that a "creator" gave us free will and then condemn us eternally if we want to like him!

What a well-reasoned, thought-provoking, well written, and compelling argument.

In case you didn't get that, I was being sarcastic.  That post is no better than apologist spam, and in some ways is worse.

And it's more than that cunt deserves.

YAY! Our first troll after the Great Crash of 2013 (as it will be forever known in the history books) has already come and gone! (^0^)/  No morality without God? That's an argument that hardly ever comes up. ?_?

No. I think he's just one of those schmucks who thinks reasoning with christians is not a colossal waste of time and that atheism is some kind of cause we need to act as representatives for despite this having no real effect because we're dealing with assholes who've already made up their mind about us.

His life to waste on these mistaken notions if he wants to. I don't intend to waste any more of my time.

No, but it's got more thought put into it and is written better.
