Mr. Charles Gillihan, Many (not all) atheists that I know are not 'antinomianism' and believe in an universal law and code of ethics such as the 'Affirmations of Humanism,' 'Humanist Manifesto' and other documents.
Your letter is wrong is what I am saying--utterly wrong. Thanks for generating a debate on this topic. That is what we need to do. More people need to think about these issues and letters like your letter get people debating and thinking. We are composing various rebuttals to usurp the very foundation of your argument. We hope that you will respond in turn. Rejoin us on the MFA google.com site. We miss your dramatic and emotional responses that add spice to our MFA chat room.I will also post this email on the website along with your letter to the Memphis Flyer, which will hopefully entice a response. By the way, it is unlikely that this response or other responses to your arguments will change your mind. However, we hope that people will eventually understand the arguments of all sides (our side, your side, and other sides). Take care, Jason PS--In the secular realm "antinomianism" means against a universal law; or in Christian doctrine, the belief that Christians are not bound by established moral laws, but should rely on faith and divine grace for salvation. (I also emailed this to Charles) source: http://www.memphisflyer.com/memphis/Content?oid=oid%3A50431 Title: Is the Flyer Biased? Is there any particular reason you rarely hear the Memphis Flyer criticize the Democratic party? It is always a critique of the Republican Party. It is well known that CNN and the three main MSM outlets (ABC, NBC, CBS) are always in favor of the Democratic Party. I also find it interesting that Democrat is a word associated with liberal and socialist. This is the result of Darwinism and humanism at base. It may be that the Republicans at one time represented Christian moral imperatives that are annoying to the Hollywood "elites" and liberal antinomians. Charles Gillihan Bartlett Editor's note: Liberal antinomians? That's funny — in an annoyingly Darwinistic way. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Memphis Freethought Alliance" group.
