A Dark Apologetic

Existiential and moral truths are objective, which means mind-independent, existing metaphysically, eternally. Existential and moral opinions are subjective, which is mind-dependent, our own human minds that is. You only have the latter, because intelligent concepts such as meaning, purpose and morality cannot exist outside of a self-aware, intelligent mind. This is rather obvious as only we humans are are the same may consider meaning, purpose and morality. Without a mind outside of ours to judge the truth value of our existential and moral judgments, we have only opinions. An atheist will resort to two areas for a source for objective morality, society and empathy. Society is nothing more than a collection of subjective opinions concerning our meaning, purpose and morality, and often enforced on the minority which differs. And there are two kinds of empathy, emotional and cognitive, with the former being conditioned by our education, society and own beliefs, and the latter being a choice, one we are not objectively obliged to use. Nothing outside of our minds says that we must put ourselves in the shoes of others or care about the laws and opinions of society. Absolutely nothing. This is your rational truth. You have no existential or moral truth. Is it true (objective) that fornication is immoral? Is it true (objective) that cowardice on the battlefield is immoral? Is it true (objective) that rape is immoral? Should your answer be yes to any of those questions, you will have exposed yourself as an irrational atheist. But you've already done that by stating "Atheists absolutely can accept and conform to an objective moral code, though; because I do." You do? Really? And what mind-independent moral code is this? How does it exist outside of an eternal, metaphysical mind which is logically necessary for such a moral code to not only be borne from, but sustained as well? Rationalwiki says: "Objective morality is the idea that a certain system of ethics or set of moral judgments is not just true according to a person's subjective opinion, but factually true. Proponents of this theory would argue that a statement like "Murder is wrong" can be as objectively true as "1 + 1 = 2." Most of the time, the alleged source is God, or the Kantian Categorical Imperative; arguably, no objective source of morality has ever been confirmed, nor have any a priori proofs been offered to the effect that morality is anything other than subjective. The moral principles that people claim to be "objective" usually coincide very well with what they feel subjectively to be true. When pressed to provide justification, the person in question will usually just fail to understand that morality might not be objective, and might consequently grow increasingly doubtful or hysterical as the subjective bases of their arguments are progressively revealed, as has been observed in recent times." Why is it that these atheists understand objective morality, but you seem incapable of it? Read carefully, Frank. "Objective morality is the idea that a certain system of ethics or set of moral judgments is not just true according to a person's subjective opinion, but factually true." Factually true. A person's subjective existential and moral judgments or opinions are not true, ever, unless they exist independent from our minds, thereby making them facts. If you believe your life has more meaning and purpose besides survival and sexual reproduction, you're deluded. You believe something which contradicts your rational truth. So no, the meaning and purpose of life isn't to love and let live, it's to have babies and replicate your DNA, to survive. It's not true (objective) that rape is immoral, it's just your opinion that it is. It's not true (objective) that genocide is immoral, it's just your opinion that it is. What the argument calls for is the psychological purification of objective meaning, purpose and morality from the atheist's mind. This is done through self-analyzation and mindfulness. You must struggle for rationality, you must be vigilant. Because right now, you're still on our shore, the theist's shore, and you have yet to swim to the other side. You must show me why your "feelings" are true, superior, over my own, regardless of our own opinions. You must show me why I must use my cognitive empathy, without, again, resorting to your own opinions. I am not trying to prove the existence of God or objective meaning, purpose and morality. That is never stated in the argument. All I call for is you and your kind to practice what you preach, look within, self-analyze, be mindful of your thoughts and speech, purify yourselves of all existential and moral objectivity, become one with your rational truth and embrace suicide. Stop being a hypocrite. Be rational. Or stop being a belligerent prick and attacking the faith of theists, because you look dumb when you do. God doesn't exist? Really? Try living that before spewing it. It's just amazing how you can attack the morality of the Bible as though it were false or somehow inferior to today's when you have nothing to judge that by except your own opinion, which is equal to anyone else's. Hitler's, Stalin's and yes, even my Abrahamic God's. Atheism equals nihilism for those who actually live it.
