You're such an irritating ignorant doofus that it's hard to imagine how you can go through life not being beaten to a pulp everyday.
Besides, everyone at RHP knows that you and FMF are the two most annoying people on this site. The creepy way in which you guys defend each other, while using bizarre pet names like "master", is but one reason that you two top the list of aggravation and irritation.

This is a little different than creating a thread on the internet, which is mostly crap anyway, or even reproducing, which in our case, is just a possible side-effect of having sex, which could be argued to be a rather selfish thing. Are you claiming that Man is now God? Maybe only in his own mind, which could be a reason why the human condition is still as poor as it is.
If you accept that the creator of a thread doesn't own his creation, why should that be any different for God and his relationship with man? - I'm assuming you don't think a mother owns her child, so again, why does God own man and feel at moral liberty to destroy him at will?

Both examples appeal to the idea of free will

What are Alex's opinions, demeanor and deeds on one hand vs. his claim to be a Christian on the other. Can you be a little more specific?

Serious question. Why do you think it is so poor amongst Christians?

These could be Christian or not. I do not see that those who are poor are overwhelmingly Christian. Many are, because they are Catholic, but their choice of religion is most likely meaningless as a reason why they are held down.
Edit: Yes, I know you were responding to a post talking more about poor as in QoL, and not poor, as in income, per se. I really cannot be convinced that most who struggle with a poor QoL are necessarily Christian. QoL is composed of many things, an important one is attitude, or outlook. Christians, as a group, have a better attitude than those who are not, regardless of income, this is just my opinion, YMMV*.

But it seems the point still stands, in a way. Christian morality is not nearly as random as atheist morality. It may be misbegotten or misdirected, but it is not random.

I'll take atheist morality any day of the week.
Originally posted by SuzianneThere is such a lot diversity and inconsistency between the ideas, utterances and deeds of Christians, it may as well be 'random', I think.

Atheist morality: everyone is god of their own little universe, so everyone decides for themselves what is right and wrong. Lots of contradiction there.
