No, that is NOT theism vs. atheism, you twit.
See, he’s just lying to you here. He’s not debating theism vs atheism.
Theism vs Atheism: What’s at Stake
In other words, if there is no God, then liberalism makes sense. And if God does exist, then much of liberalism is invalid. This is why most of our public policies are based, indirectly at least, on atheism. For example:* The increasingly successful campaign to legitimize homosexuality. After all if, under atheism, we think homosexuality is ok, then it is ok.
* The near-total absence of any restraints on abortion. After all, under atheism, man is just a physical body, in which case the barely-formed fetus cannot possibly be a person deserving the protection of the law.
* Mass immigration. After all, if it is not true that, as the Bible says, God deliberately formed mankind into separate nations, then it’s perfectly ok to flood our nation with non-assimilable foreigners, if we think that there is some immediate advantage to be had.
Well, he’s not unless all theists are christian. I think it is safe to say that isn’t true. I suppose I should take this in the context. All conservatives are christian (so he implies). So, you’ll note from my last post, conservatives do not care about discrimination based on race or gender, nor do they care about anyone who isn’t a christian.
NIFTY!
I find myself reminded of the lovely blind spot people seem to have whenever they bring up putting prayer back into schools. They all assume it will be THEIR prayer.

Although, I almost agree when he says “This is why most of our public policies are based, indirectly at least, on atheism.” Everything that follows is incredibly skewed, but hey, looks like separation of church and state is effective enough to be pissing somebody off.

Hey elf_man
I can’t help but take a little glee in that myself.
So much of our society is wrapped up in the christian worldview that I find it amusing when they go all nutty saying IT ISN’T ENOUGH!!! WE WANT IT ALL!!!
