"one man's good is another man's pleasure".....turned it off at that point. suffering is completely consistent with atheism, which posits a world governed by cold impersonal physical forces...the God of classical theism has alot of ad hoc explaining to do.

... so Confucius is the standard for good and evil? who actually follows the Golden Rule truly? is there anything that judges this?

[Aphex217Twin]

there may not be evil in some objective sense, but Atheists certainly believe in suffering, and it's certainly a thing that is real, not an illusion, and most Atheists I know believe in it's existence daily.

Aphex, are you suggesting that things and actions that are considered evil are only evil because of preference? The argument is not that atheists believe in the existence of evil. The argument is that their worldview cannot account for evil and in turn cannot call anything evil.

This guy continues to amaze me with retardation. He didn't even come close to answering the first question. I will give him one thing though. He is more charismatic than the lady. She answered the questions as a good scientific mind should. But when did that man answer ONE question?
