"One atheist understood the moral consequences of his unbelief: That was Nietzsche, who argued that God is dead, but acknowledged that without God there could be no binding and objective moral order.

Of course, the “New Atheists” deny this. Instead, they unconvincingly argue that you can have the benefits of an altruistic, Christian-like morality without God.

Nietzsche would laugh—and wonder why they don’t make atheists like they used to."

You are wrong.. The Egyptians had it right. No wait. The Greek pantheon was right. No wait.. the Romans had it right. No.. wait.. the Sumerian gods were right. No wait.. the Babylonians had it right. No wait.. the Norse gods were right. No wait.. the Mayans were right. No.. wait .. the Inca were right. No.. wait.. the Neanderthal concept of ancestor worship was right. No.. wait.. the native American concept of nature spirits were right. No.. wait .. the Druidic concept of natural spirits had it right. No... wait.. the Muslim concept is right. No.. wait... the Christian concept God and the invisible magic-man had it right.

So... who is right? Did the Christians finally 'get it right' after millenia of cultures/societies ALL getting it absolutely wrong? Now.. that truly must be an "Evolution" of religion. For so many people to be so absolutely wrong, and to FINALLY, find the Truth(tm). Whatever that means.

Wait... Honkeytonk73 is right!!!

Dont sleep on Scientology either.

I love how people want to classify athiests like they classify their own religious beliefs. First they set up a perceived notion of what they think athiests should be, then they rip them to shreds for not living up to the arbitrary expectation. Quantum, i see a pattern in your posts: You're personal opinion is right, everyone who disagrees is wrong.


Athiests today? Critical thinking mystifies those who would rather let others do the thinking.

I am sorry, but as much as I love Einstein(He should have won 3 Nobel Prizes)- He should not be raised as an example of moral atheist. There is a considerable amount of information out there about how he mistreated his wives. I think that part of his life is morally reprehensible, even though mistreating women was socially acceptable at the time it doesn't make it right.

It's disappointing to me that Hitchens included him.
