Since I have said that morality is based on identification, through the action, perhaps, of "mirror neurons", what you ought to have understood by "natural morality" is morality that arises out of our biology, that we feel for others, and share their pain or pleasure, to some degree. The...

Yes, while the article mentioned in the OP was titled "The Morality of Atheism", those of us in the know realize that no morality, or immorality, arises from Atheism. Hence, the discussion, as in the OP, is about the morality of atheists, as I have in my first sentence. So, why are you...

I suspected that, and made allowance by "Perhaps... clarify". My poor, slow understanding could have been helped by "They say...".

Really? You want to go to insults? Or, perhaps, you are projecting? Of what value is your "basic beliefs line" when you post that the "Bible is literally true"? Perhaps evidence that your head is not the one up one's butt by retracting that evaluation explicitly.

Those who suspect the morality of atheists do so because their reckoning of cause-and-effect has been poisoned by proponents of religious delusions, who attempt to inculcate fear along with devotion akin to Stockholm syndrome. The fact is that the basis of all morality is the identification of...

When you have "Sciencec, archeology, and history conclusivley show the bible is literally true.", it seems as though *you* are such a literalist. Perhaps I've not seen enough of your posts, and am misinterpreting. Feel free to clarify. I, for one, see the entire Bible, overall, as historical...

The Bible says things like "the Earth doesn't move". Science shows that it moves in a nearly circular orbit relative to the Sun. On this, the Bible is literally untrue. The Bible indicates that there is some position that can be seen from all locations on the Earth. This should require a flat...

Paul does not indicate that Peter knew "Jesus" in any way different than he, himself, did, which was by revelation from the Hebrew scriptures and a vision, a.k.a. hallucination. He uses "appeared to", and then includes himself. He *never* recounts any historical-like anecdote of Peter doing...

Did "There is a River" recount any skeptical examination of claims from, or about, Cayce? It seems to me that for this sleep-time osmosis to work, as a "telepath", the book must be a mind. Since a book is a series of symbols to which we associate meanings, this requirement seems to be...
