I see we're playing "make sly and unsubstantiated insults using godwins law".
My turn:

Martin Luther King was but a speaker, just like Hitler.
Jesus was but a speaker, just like Hitler.
Muhammed was but a speaker, just like Hitler.

while a theist and atheist both choose an a/theistic moral code based on their subjective worldview, a theist is logically compelled and obligated to follow his code while the atheist isn't.
that's whatit means for a moral code to be absolute or sealed.

How do theists deal with situations that aren't predicted in their code? ...When their code does not provide guidance?

That depends... If you are a slave, then assume the moral guidance from your master, If you are a daughter, assume the moral guidance from your father, if you are a woman, assume the moral guidance from your husband!

See, if you had only read the bible, you would know all this :p

moral codes are not legal laws, they are general guidelines, not a shopping list.


besides, it isn't that theists have morals and atheists don't, it's just that theists are logically inclined to follow their morals and atheists are not.

so in other words when theists act imorally it means they have become irrational or insane, but when an atheist does it its a rationalised decision.

they're absolute general guidlines.
absolute[as used many times in this thread], doesn't mean exact or well defined[not that theistic morals aren't], but rather absolute in that you're logically obligated to follow them, which can't be said to atheistic morals.

hope we cleared that up spider?
 
The moral of this OP:
A theist needs a god to spank them when they're bad.
Those easily turned astray would likely see that as the only option in self control.
You've been a bad theist {sound of whip cracking}.:spank:
