William A. Dembski Zitate

I'm not saying that atheists can't act morally or have moral knowledge. But when I ascribe virtue to an atheist, it's as a theist who sees the atheist as conforming to objective moral values. The atheist, by contrast, has no such basis for morality. And yet all moral judgments require a basis for morality, some standard of right and wrong.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich sage nicht, dass Atheisten nicht moralisch handeln oder moralisches Wissen haben können. Aber wenn ich einem Atheisten die Tugend zuschreibe, ist es als Theist, der den Atheisten als objektiv eingestufte moralische Werte betrachtet. Der Atheist dagegen hat keine solche Grundlage für Moralität. Und dennoch erfordern alle moralischen Urteile eine Grundlage für Moral, einen gewissen Standard für Recht und Unrecht.

I think that unless you can take judgments of right and wrong like an automaton, you must have emotions because that is our only way of moral guidance.

A lot of people my age who are working right now have never acted; they get a show and suddenly they're making millions. It's always those people who get it fast who have the most trouble staying grounded and being themselves.

You can always hear a director saying, 'Well I don't really know what this piece is saying, so therefore, I reject it.' There are any number of things you can anticipate going wrong, and sometimes they go right. But I think the things you like most are the things that get rejected first. That's just how things work.
