Is a world with a transcendent lawgiver any better than a world without one? I believe the answer is “yes.” People will always have opinions (opinions are like armpits, every one has two, and most of them smell bad.) If a transcendent being truly exists that is good, wise, unchanging and all knowing, then we at least have some reasonable hope for knowing what is right, even if we don’t do it.

I guess that’s my opinion.

That’s not to say that atheist don’t do things that many people describe as good. It’s just absurd when they insist that anything is good… or evil.
