I think that analogy was in very poor taste.

Nor do I think that atheists don't believe in right and wrong.

Agreed, esp. the kid part.

Disagree. They see morality as a social construct, not as absolutes (with the exception that there are no absolutes). So what might be right and wrong for one is not right and wrong for all. And I believe this is the point that Phil Robertson was trying to get across with his crude analogy. Either there is an absolute right and wrong, given by someone greater than man, or there is none.

Does not anyone think that there are not Atheists who are conservative, have moral values, and who don’t hate Christians? These generalizations being thrown out are lazy thinking.

It depends on what Christian Ethics the Atheists are raised with, and many atheist had the Bible and Christian Ethics embedded into their childhood which make them “feel” correctly-—about “Right and Wrong” although without God (Universal Truth) there is no Moral Law-—Nietzsche said as much.

People, like Marquis de Sade and Godwin and Shelley and Byron had no problem with incest and sodomy and any dehumanizing, degrading use of others or themselves and were vile human beings, who didn’t believe in marriage or the Natural Family. They were godless.

You are also stating the genius Dostoevsky is wrong. LOL. Sorry-—you are incapable of having a mind close to his. He stated “Without God, everything is permissible.”

See-—without God-—you make yourself into God and decide, like Jeffrey Dahmer, what is good and evil.

All the most evil people in the world were people who threw out God/Christianity and made themselves the measure of all things, like Jeffrey Dahmer, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pot, Rothschild, etc. etc.
