Well put. It reminds me of a "discussion" I've been dabbling in with a homosexual agenda promoter yesterday (on FR). I pointed out that anyone who espouses moral relativism [sic] is not only a hypocrite, but the very tenets of moral relativism are found on and permeated with hypocrisy. If they really believed that there are no moral absolutes, they'd be perfectly happy that others see things differently. It'd be no skin off their nose.

The freaking hypocrites think that removing G-d from the equation causes sexual morality to collapse as an anachronism while leaving "thou shalt not kill" intact and adding rules against "hatred" and "intolerance." Apparently "morality" only means "sexual morality" for some reason.

But your point about the supposed perfection of evolving civilization, while they deny any Creator or divine planner, is another very telling example of their insane hypocrisy. They are actually psychotic - to believe that which is so profoundly not so.

Unfortunately there are a lot of atheists here on FR (only capitalists instead of socialists) who are every bit as hypocritical as their Marxist co-"religionists." And their nastiness and billowing sense of superiority fufill every stereotype of an atheist you could possibly have.

I agree 100%. Taking the Supreme out of the equation is like taking the sun from the daytime. Their attempts will fail miserably but cause great suffering.

Apparently "morality" only means "sexual morality" for some reason. My tentative personal opinion is that religion arose primarily as a means to control the members of the societies in which they orginated with "carrots and sticks" that reached beyond the mortal world. If I am right about this (and I'm fully willing to consider that i'm not) then "Thou shalt not kill," not because it is objectively wrong, but because no society could function where everyone felt free to commit wanton murder. Same with theft, fraud, etc. Similarly, we aren't to worship any other gods or images because that would endanger societal confidence in "the code." We aren't to commit homosexual acts or adultery or disrespect of parents because the integrity of the family is (or at least was)important for society to function. If the above describes the assumptions of the "hypocrites" you describe, then they are not hypocrites at all. They simply believe that "thou shalt not kill" is still a vital rule to abide for society to function, and "thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind" is an anachronism that no longer provides any tangible benefit to society. Anyway, I guess I'm one of your FR "athiests." Though I don't really _believe_ it cause I'm not sure. Who can be?
