re: #501 el guape

I really dislike straw men fallacies. And ad-hominem attacks.

The difficulty I have with the materialist worldview is morality - if everything is essentially material, why do we rail against radical islamic extremism as if it were wrong?

If you think our being made of matter or some kind of immaterial ‘soul stuff’ makes a blind bit of difference how we should behave toward one another then you don’t have much of an understand of morality at all.

Where does the idea that Hamas using children as meat shields is morally offensive?

Well it sure as hell doesn’t come from religion - Hamas have got that coming out of their eyes. You really should pick your examples with more care.
