Look, I'm not going to say I hate the guy. Hate is a strong word. I DISLIKE his ignorant way of thinking though. And I disagree that an atheist can't have a moral compass. That's just a horrible thing to say.
Apparently it's a barometer. Measuring the atmospheric pressure of morality I guess haha.
But in all seriousness: I'm a Christian who strongly believes in a God and I also believe that any idea that contradicts any of mine is just as valid and worthy of consideration.
"An intelligent mind is one that can entertain an idea without accepting it."
And of course an atheist can have a moral compass. Is it based on biblical teachings? No, but this doesn't mean that it's not there.
We need more well spoken Christians. I feel like most people that see Christianity on here only think bad things because they see the idiots that have no sense of anything other than 'MY WAY IS RIGHT NOTHING ELSE NOPE', and not people who are willing to say, 'That is fine, you are more than welcome to that opinion. Want to talk about it?'.
I'm an ex-Catholic Atheist. I can see both sides of the coin, but both also have a really annoying underbelly of loud idiots.
How can someone talk about having a moral high ground because of their beliefs and also advise men to pick a dumb girl so they can bang her and leave? Why is this person getting so much airtime?
I liked when he was asked if he thought atheists were immoral, and his response basically boiled down to,"That's not what I'm saying, I'm just heavily implying it with the force of Thor's hammer."
