1) You are moral – and by the way, I’m glad! – apparently you believe in objective morality – why?
2) Most Christians are not Christians – even “church goers” – why judge/discern by prison inmate populations…? (Matthew 7:21) Not all who calls themselves Christians are… yet the black eye becomes darker…
3) Purpose and meaning can not extend past ourselves in your world view. I don’t live through my children – and statues, and legacies, and donations, etc… – Would you not find meaningless in eternity – when the lights are cut off??…
4) You trivialize who you truly are – but that is ok – because if God exists – would you want a tyrant who told you how to be – or rather One who gives you a path that feeds your soul, and provides salve for this life and salvation from it when we die?
5) Evil in your world view can’t exist – period. So don’t use “evil” any longer… That is trade-marked by the Catholic church. I’ll tell on you if you say “evil” again! :-)

All this will mean nothing to you – and will be discarded – but has provided me a vent – thank you for your website.

God bless – or should I say “carry on til you die”?
-Harry
