You can love with out jesus and can feel love with out him/her/it. Jesus is just a safty to fall back on when your love or the love of other(s) is diminished or lost. But thats just my opinion.

Sure, but Science is different than religion and music. You can't interpret the laws of gravity differently because of your views. That's why it is truly universal.

Religion has had a stranglehold and thus established 'tradition'. But tradition does not need religion. Religious people need religion. Religion does not have a stranglehold on emotions or feelings or ethics. This is just a temporal time where things will change. Should we really treat with dignity this creature that was trying only to strangle as we emerged into our greater light?

this lecture sounded bad. for half of the stuff said they just invented 'theories' or premises based on the thing THEY think is going on, not based on evidence beside some misleading polls.and he gave so many variables, so so many, and how can he than produce valid conclusions?

During the holocaust- many non Jews hid Jews and risked being murdered ...no reputation enhancement, totally altruistic..totally anti-darwinian and leathaly dangerous...the darwin theory leaves a lot to be desired...

If some moral truths are necessary, such as "It is wrong to torture people for no reason", then objective moral values exist in every possible world, even in possible worlds where God does not exist. Thus, God cannot explain the existence of objective moral values.
