Hitchens (and any atheist) has no grounds to object to "bullies" or any other "evil" since all morality and ethics must be something we create and re-create at will.
Every atheist moralist (and that seems to include all atheists, at least at this time) is a contradiction in terms.
To be consistent,
a “moralist” who rejects the idea of objective morality and objective right and wrong
cannot object to anything “evil” or “wrong” in the world as those concepts are defined by the individual and are nothing more than an opinion.
No one lives that way, though. They will be afronted when someone “wrongs” them, or will be upset about some evil or suffering in the world.
I have always figured that if you totally believe in God and you are wrong, you haven’t lost anything. If you don’t believe in God and you are wrong........you best cover your butt because all hell is going to break lose.
I’m an atheist and I am probably of higher moral character than most believers. It does not take a god to instill a good sense of right and wrong.
Those people who think that it takes a belief in god to achieve a higher moral state are a little annoying.
