@jamaicanification - So I should ask you, what is morality to you? You seem perfectly fine offering up lame ideas to why my thoughts are wrong, so lets here some of your thoughts on morality, what it is, and what is important about it. Just saying 'god defines morality' or some such remark won't cut it. Is morality whatever god says it is? If god says it is moral to kill your neighbors, would you think it was? God would never say that though, unless those tribes were evil.

@jamaicanification - of living that provides a better standard of living than others, for everyone who chooses to abide by said standards of morality and laws. Some may choose not to, and as long as they don't violent situations, someone may just have to learn the hard way whether a particular behavior is beneficial.

He says at one point,

Acutally, a lot of ancient religions have resurrections as an article of faith. Furthermore, when Jesus was said to have been resurrected, ALL the graves in Jerusalem opened up, and zombies roamed around greeting the living.

Seems like resurrection was quite common in the ancient world, even according to the bible.

"If I gave you a book to read...."

Someone once gave me Harry Potter to read - doesn't mean I suddenly believe in Hogwarts and I've become a wizard.

That guy sucks. What he should have done was found an intelligent and respectful way of saying "I don't know and I don't have that kind of authority," rather than coming across and a spinster.

Talk about talking in circles. I would have destroyed this guy. Hey Dummy, look up non-sequitur.

That guy's the ultimate deluded asshat.
