Why is there evil and suffering?

97. You do know that science and ethics are different disciplines, right?

And we can say things about how to be and how to act that aren't science related, but which we would nevertheless not consider delusional?

As for the rest, there is no "old chestnut".

It is a potential counterargument that non-theology has produced horrible conflict as well as "scientific" weapons that can destroy us. In other words, you cannot have it both ways, claiming that "true knowledge" related to non-theology is all good. It isn't. In fact, it is even conceivable that "theological"-only approaches would not have plunged us into these conflicts and shunned even the discovery of these weapons (I doubt it, but still, it is a counterargument!) and could, yet, forestall our destruction by the new ways that we dare develop.

As for your monumental snark, it is a shame that non-theology encourages and spurs you to it.

Another good reason to rationally reject atheism. I think it is #23 or #32 on the list of reasons to rationally reject atheistic philosophies and approaches.
