Here's a little "gem" I missed the first time.

In this respect, it is important for us to be aware of the universal set of moral intuitions so that we can reflect on them and, if we choose, act contrary to them. We can do this without blasphemy because it is our own nature, not God, that is the source of our morality.

Really? You mean it's okay sometimes if we want to enslave people or be racists, sexists, classists, and speciesists?

Oh. He was only talking about sex.

And the source of my nature and ability to reason is...???

I'm sure these fellows would tell us the source is a random interaction of the elements of physical reality.

If there is no God, then why not? Your ability to get away with it is the only limiting factor.
