Excerpt
from Colson’s
column at Townhall:
One atheist understood the moral consequences of his
unbelief: That was Nietzsche, who argued that God is dead, but acknowledged
that without God there could be no binding and objective moral order.
Of course, the “New Atheists” deny this. Instead, they
unconvincingly argue that you can have the benefits of an altruistic,
Christian-like morality without God.
Nietzsche would laugh—and wonder why they don’t make
atheists like they used to.
