		<description><![CDATA[By far, the most common argument I see made against atheists is that while they have moral standards, they do not have a defense of morality and therefore are "borrowing" from a Theistic (e.g. Christian) worldview every time they make a moral statement. This is presented as evidence that atheists have an internal contradiction in their worldview whereby they are not allowed to make any moral statements because they cannot account for the origin - or source - of morality.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=methodicalmusings.com&blog=1180971&post=404&subd=guitarstrummr&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I assert that atheism ("no gods") is the only presupposition that actually accurately describes all spiritual religions. Therefore, every religion that asserts a spiritual realm must borrow from a materialistic worldview in order to explain the spiritual. Because every explanation of the spiritual requires using materialistic terms (any term involving time/space) then this shows the religion is entirely materialistic in nature, thus demonstrating that it has an internal contradiction and is, therefore, false.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=methodicalmusings.com&blog=1180971&post=372&subd=guitarstrummr&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
