Cheeze-ice-crust I'm sick of being lumped in with other schmucks as a "Christ-hating heathen". I'm an atheist. I don't hate Jesus of Nazareth. I will, at any time, and under any circumstances, (including being blind stinking drunk), compare, point by point, YOUR system of morals and ethics and MY system of morals and ethics and DEFY you to point out any differences. Save one. MINE follows simply from the nature of Man as Man. YOURS, (apparently), you wouldn't HAVE if you hadn't gone to church. I don't NEED Judeo-Christian philosophy to know that SIX of the Ten Commandments are SIMPLE COMMON SENSE!!!! (The other four may be laudable, but hey, I AM an atheist...) Judeo-Christian philosophy is NOT the do-all and end-all of MORALITY!!!
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (2 Corinthians 4:4)
While America mourned the 11th anniversary of the Islamic attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, atheist radicals were throwing fuel on the fire. While millions were praying for the friends and families of precious souls lost, self-styled “progressives” were preying upon the most significant symbol of hope to which many of the grieving clung.

Hilarious. As if the 20th century, especially, didn't show what kind of "morals and ethics" come from the rejection of the Judeo-Christian ethic. If your "morals and ethics" aren't different from the greater, objective ethic, it's because you've borrowed from it without acknowledgment.
In fact one of the most important points is: "You are my friends if you do what I command you." John 14:15
Remember that Jesus IS God.
Sounds like "thou shalt do" instead of "thou shalt not".
Under the old covenant we avoided sin out of fear of punishment. Under the new covenant we avoid sin because we Love God. Jesus emphasized our Love for and our service to our fellow man. If we practice perfect Love, we will not sin.
If I am president, I have two eyes. I have two eyes. Therefore I am president.
Same logic.
