You have morals? Wonderful! does that explain why you would get pissed at the mother who baked her kids in a hot car?

Please explain why you appear to think that atheists would not value human life or have morals.

Is this the stupid question of the year?

Anyone would be angry because this mother's actions left two children dead.

Media-1 is apparently under the illusion that morals are something that comes from God, rather than something that just happens to humans.

Yes, we have morals. It explains perfectly why we'd be pissed. Exactly why do you think that Atheists don't have morals?

Jobar contemplates baking Media-1 to death in a hot car

Jobar realizes that this is immoral, illegal, and too extreme a punishment for utter idiocy

But not as immoral as leaving two innocent children to die horribly...

Angry that those little innocent babies are with Jesus now? Why would you be angry at that?

It is odd that atheists usually value human life to a greater degree than they value ant life.
It is not all that odd at all. I can simply resort to chauvinism and be done with it. Ants aren't humans, I am. The loss of another human like me is greater than the loss of an ant.

You should be familiar with this principle, the Bible describes in detail how God's people used it to advance God's agenda, at the expense of many ungodly and therefore lesser peoples.

Question
He`s either typing this from a very hot car and is feeling a bit dizzy OR he`s just a moron.

Illegal, yes, but morality is everyone's subjective judgement...right? It is possible that the woman thought that what she did was just fine, morally.

Are you saying it was wrong for the mother to do that?
