Eric Diaz replied to Mercedes's discussion 'Why do atheists ask for so much proof to believe in God?'Eric Diaz commented on Misty: Baytheist Living!'s blog post 'Why you so angry, atheists? Whyyyyyy?'"I think to answer that question we have to look at things from the point of view of a theist.

Eric Diaz replied to Sagacious Hawk's discussion 'Tell me why being selfish is wrong.'"The question is to broad. Selfishness is not always, specially if you believe in an subjective morality.
BUT I would say Selflessness is better than selfishness more often, IF it is reciprocated.

Eric Diaz replied to Kris K's discussion 'Why do the big names in atheism freeze up when debating William Lane Craig?'"That is because WLC is a better debater than most of the people you mentioned...
