The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Do you seriously think it's caused by fire OUTSIDE rocks?

You are officially a weird person.

And claiming that a certain guideline has moral authority because it seems to work out OK for most people who try it shows your complete ignorance of the concept of moral obligation. Sure, the "Golden Rule" works, but why shouldn't atheists follow the other "Golden Rule of Nature" that says "Always do what is in one's own best interest" and "Whatever one can get away with doing is permissible"? If Jesus is not divine then those "Golden Rules" have just as much moral authority as the more traditional version.
