Do I really need to make another post demonstrating what intellectual honesty is? Instead of just believing that a supreme infallible creator is responsible for everything and also decides for us what is moral and immoral - a worldview that is immoral by definition - I allow myself to learn things.

Crazy concept, huh? It's pretty weird how this science thing works, I know. It goes out into the real world and observes and discovers things, and changes the way we think about things in the process. It's called learning.

I believe we know nothing, and I believe that anyone who thinks they have the answers to the universe, just like religion does, is very likely wrong and definitely immoral.

You got me. I don't know what intellectual honesty is. I can only read one book, my holy book. I have never learned what science really is. I look forward to your ranting post describing it. It will teach me morality, thank you so much. *sarcasm*

Your biggest problem seems to be that you think because of your world view you are somehow intellectually and morally superior to any and all that do not share same world view. That is the exact opposite of free thinking and honest.

Not an accurate representation of any of my posts, so I'll just quote myself in hopes that you'll actually read and learn something.

Atheism doesn't mean exemption from immorality - I've attacked Kagatob plenty of times, and I've questioned leewong as well. More importantly, I question my own morality every single day that I'm alive. I like to debate and I like to argue, but I'm not trying to be condescending or project an air of moral superiority around anyone here. No one is perfect, but this also doesn't mean everyone is equal in their morals - I try to avoid false balance at all costs. Just because two people are arguing doesn't mean you can simply cancel them out and assume they're both equally wrong or equally right. Objectivity has nothing to do with impartiality. I am extremely skeptical of people who are unbiased or impartial about everything.
