→The effects of Atheism
::: I'm not following your point about the evolution section. I don't know why you consider that section not "well sourced". The part you removed was a two-sentence paragraph pointing out that the evolution argument assumes evolution to be true, which is not a given, and a quote which was ''not'' arguing that evolution is debatable. Rather, it's a rebuttal to your point above that "Scientific experiments provide a strong theory for the origin of morals via evolution". They do no such thing.

:::: Your statement is full of fallacies. Atheism isn't Marxism, Marxism isn't atheism and none of those men were Marxists (though they liked to pretend they were). It's fine if you want to prove your point and that's really what I'd hoped to get when I posted this on the talk page, but you're not responding to my arguments with logical arguments.
:::: I'm not going to respond further to your comments because you've made it clear that you won't listen to me. That's fine, you contribute far more to this site than I do and it's presumptive of me to start this debate. But there is a point I'd like to make, and I'd really like you to consider it.
:::: Is someone who acts in a virtuous manner only due to a fear of punishment a moral person?
