> I would hope so, since divine anything is simply ignorant and doesn't belong in any moral toolbox. Please save your intolerant ignorance for your atheist message boards. There is nothing ignorant about belief in God.

> There is nothing ignorant about belief in God. There's little more ignorant than an adult who still has an imaginary friend and insists he's real.

  > There's little more ignorant than an adult who still has an imaginary friend and insists he's real. Oooh, can I argue the same way? I mean, by begging the question and arguing using ipse dixit? Here goes: There's little more ignorant than an adult who doesn't believe in God.

    Oh you've confused an insult for an argument; not surprising for one who prays to the sky. Go find some fellow delusional people in a church or something, this is Hacker News, not the Delusional Daily.

      Feel better? So back to your original comment about moral toolboxes--what would belong in yours? How do they get there? What morals do you think others should follow?

        > Feel better? Do you? Do you need to go pray now? > So back to your original comment about moral toolboxes--what would belong in yours? How do they get there? What morals do you think others should follow? Reality based morality like secular humanism, not ignorance passed down from iron age savages who didn't know fuck all about the world and thought Gods made things happen.

        > Reality based morality like secular humanism, not ignorance passed down from iron age savages who didn't know fuck all about the world and thought Gods made things happen. Sounds pretty arbitrary. How do you choose the right morals? Coin toss? Can you say someone else is wrong?

        I noticed you're ignoring my questions. Perhaps you're noticing your dilemma? I'll type slower to help you follow along: How do you choose the right morals? Coin toss? Can you say someone else is wrong?

        I did not ignore it, I clearly said secular humanism[1] and later said reasoning which is how it works. Rather than asking me more stupid questions I've already answered, go look up how secular humanism arrives at such answers, they are there. Morality should be reasoned about, not blindly accepted from the demands of ancient savages. You have a brain, try and use it. At the very least, pay attention when your questions are answered so you don't foolishly keep repeating them due to a lack of reading comprehension.

        But you didn't answer the questions. You should spend less time on insults and more on thinking through your answers. How do you choose the RIGHT (as in, not wrong) morals? In a dispute between two very smart secular humanists who have different morals is there a RIGHT moral code and a wrong one? Can you say someone else is "wrong" given your understanding of morality?
