re: #5 Political Atheist

Wrong kind of push back. Tit for tat will accomplish nothing apart from further showing two wrongs do not make a right. /blockquote>

“So what conclusion can be reached? It is obvious that you do not have to believe in a higher power in order to live a moral and successful life. Quite the opposite.”
I don’t see this as “tit for tat”. Fundies have been saying for years that you have to believe in God or you will be an immoral criminal degenerate. People are proving with statistics that atheists are indeed capable of leading wholesome lives. They are NOT saying you HAVE to be an atheist to be moral. THAT would be tit for tat. Merely noting that atheists have above average stats for moral living simply sets the record straight. They have a right and a responsibility to defend themselves from ongoing persecution.
