@yummifullz:
Nah, it was just your "purer" comment that threw me off. Besides, I have no stake in satanism and consider it nothing more than reactionary to christianity.
Personally, I'm just an amoral atheist ;)

...................... Well MrGeezer until you understand the ideas of CONTEXT I am going to stop and just say you have no idea what your talking about. Even when I flat out explained the entirety of it within context in a topic talking about moral ideals with atheism/theism...
And I explained how, within the context you've presented it, it's a stupid-ass quote.You're the one saying, "I guess you must not have seen the show", when that's entirely irrelevant since you've removed the quote from the context of the show.
The idea that "atheists cannot possess morality" is so logically flawed it's laughable if you apply even a modicum of thought in analysis.
Religion is man made. There are literally hundreds of different religions on the planet, depending on how you precisely define a "religion".
Yet these man made constructs often attempt to convey certain morals. Why?
Because early civilizations learned that they functioned more smoothly if people followed certain basic concepts like don't kill each other, be a decent person, don't get jealous of your neighbor and steal his stuff, etc. Thus, they used religion (the most powerful application of mass psychology in history) to convey these ideas.
Christopher Hitchens has written extensively on this topic.
