Moral Superiority Of Atheism - Christopher Hitchens' Ethics Challenge. Why does god matter? Christopher Hitchens explains why atheists are more moral than religious fundamentalists. Many Christians will maintain they have a superior foundation for knowing and for choosing to do what is good. They claim to have objective ethical standards for being good, based in a morally good creator god, and that the atheist has no ultimate justification for being moral. --- Subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com --- Brockport Student Government sponsored a debate between Christopher Hitchens and Rabbi David Wolpe, moderated by BSG Vice President, Nathan Herbert, on Wednesday, December 2, 2009 at The College at Brockport on the question: "Why Does God Matter?".

Compassion changes egotism into empathy, and transforms fear into freedom. It is the basis for both personal and ...

Much has been contended about it, including controversial discussions over global climate change, pollution, resource depletion and economic warfare as well as issues generated by power deregulation, suburban sprawl and information technology. However, what cannot be disputed is that this change is occurring at a more rapid pace than at any other time in our history. The price of fuel in the European Union has been almost three times higher than in the United States. This reality has forced the implementation of European concepts of sustainability much earlier than the recent explosion of American sustainable practice.
