"Prior to its outlawing in 374AD, infanticide was legal in the west. It was outlawed by a Christian Roman Emperor… Ask your atheist friends why killing children is morally wrong."

It couldn't have anything to do with evolution of morality in conjunction with civilization could it?

So by your reasoning, infanticide is a byproduct of atheism (and other "false theisms"). So every atrocity tolerated by Christians 1-2 thousand years ago's a result of morality from the real God?

Normally I'd have expected better reasoning from someone who uses the word "inimical" up in #9, by that claim was just as poorly developed.

No. China has been "civilized" for thousands of years. Today, right now, Chinese children born with Down's Syndrome are still suffocated in the delivery room and then tossed in the trash. As you may remember, China is currently an atheist state. The diffenrence between America (a Christian nation) and China (a pagan/atheist nation) can be well-understood by the fact that we have a Special Olympics and they don't. Maybe you could tell me--with your 'obvious' megawattage of brainpower, why children with Down's Syndrome shouldn't be suffocated at birth.

Oh, and by the way, it didn't take long for the atheists to start hurling "you're stupid"-type insults, did it?
