That's just it - atheists cannot have any objective moral standards. They are necessarily ethical scavengers.

What ethical standard does Elohim have? Have you even read the Ten Commandments? The parts about committing genocide (except for the women and girls) and not boiling a kid in its mothers milk, make for very interesting ethics.

Christians have no standing to criticize anyone on morals.

LOL! Silly atheist. Mosaic sanitary practices and war strategies are not in the Ten Commandments! What book have you been reading? Not the Bible/Tanakh, that's for sure.

Then stop stealing Christian morals, removing their foundations, and calling them your own. I know you want a morality that looks as nice as a Christian one, but it's not going to last if you keep building it on the beach.

If your point here is to say Christians are sinners...I suspect every Christian on this thread would agree.

According to what moral law do you make *THAT* pronouncement?

Other than Alinskyite auto-fellation, that is ("make the enemy live up to his rules").

In which case, you might note that Jesus was *way* ahead of you on that one: and indeed, provided a route from judgement to mercy.

....and not boiling a kid in its mothers milk...

What's wrong with not making goat meat casseroles that bothers you so much?

Atheists have no standing to criticize anyone for any thing.

By their worldview, we're all just dust in the wind. Meaningless, purposeless, accidents of chaos in a random universe.

It's hypocritical to condemn one set of beliefs as invalid and arbitrarily set up another of your own preference as valid. There is no legitimate reason for yours to be superior to any others and no reason to use it to condemn others.

The very fact that you do that indicates that you are appealing to an objective standard of right and wrong. And what is the source of that standard, if not God?
