Re: A Compromise about ID in Biology Classes
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Nietzsche never said or implied such a thing, [/ QUOTE ] It was attributed to him as well as Dostoevsky and stated clearly by Sartre. Pick one, I don't care. [/ QUOTE ] Probably attributed by an agenda-fueled theist like yourself rather than an objective scholar or reader.

Of course, there are only billions of counterexamples of humans made in God's image who have no appreciation for any such thing. [/ QUOTE ] Reading the hearts and minds of billions is beyond my ability.

[ QUOTE ] Murder is a property violation, so it's never ok to murder people. [/ QUOTE ] Who's talking law? [/ QUOTE ] You are when you say murder is okay without a god construct.

[ QUOTE ] stated clearly by Sartre. [/ QUOTE ] Read my post again and try to pay attention this time. [/ QUOTE ] Read my post clearly. I never mentioned Sartre and was replying to your reference to Nietzsche.

Re: Herr Little Freddie Nietzche
[ QUOTE ]
What'd he say? Duh. [/ QUOTE ] He said God is dead (killed by rationalism, etc.), but did not say that equates to nihilism. Your own link says the following: Given the "unbelievability" of the "God-hypothesis" Nietzsche himself seemed to favour the creation of a new set of values "faithful to the earth." This hardly sounds like "If God is dead, all is permitted - Nietzsche" as you wrote. You clearly can't see any basis for ethical/moral behavior unless it is dictated by a supreme being, whereas Nietzsche (and myself and many others) can see such a standard for values beyond those dictated by a God. This clouds all your thinking on the subject of morality and god. It is ironic how the atheists can see a reason to respect others without believeing that a God tells them so, but Christians feel that with no "law" (Ten Commandments) then its anything goes.
