To save you all some time from having to read Harvey's absolute pile of unadulterated bollocks.
He spews the same bullshit that every other theist on here has tried.... atheists not having morals, arguements from incredulity, arguments from ignorance, misrepresentation of darwinism, clear and excruciatingly piss poor understanding of evolution... the list of the same yawn(bordering on coma) enducing drivel, goes on and on!
In conclusion, he's a fucking moron of absolutely epic proportions and a clear indicator of why people need stop listening to dip shit celebrities and getting information from social media.
So you've saved me the wasted effort of discovering this the hard way. Good, I can devote the time to something more constructive. :)
Of course, if I was being paid to dismantle his garbage, I'd probably do so with rather more enthusiasm than the pay cheque required :)
Steve Harvey? Isn't he a washed up, but very rich comedian? Who the fuck cares what he says?
Old Man, you knew that much about Steve Harvey?!!
I don't think I've ever heard of him before....and after what I read in that link I think I was kind of lucky...damn! Now I know about him. Its not like I need to know about another verbose, arrogant, ignorant theist.
Tin, take me back to that lobster pot.
@Grin Re: "Tin, take me back to that lobster pot."
...*cringing*.... SSSHHHHHHhhhhh.... *whispering*... hey, not so loud. geez, dude. you keep making announcements like that and EVERYBODY will want to come jumping in. and we still haven't determined exactly how eternal this thing is. could be a limited supply for all we know. don't need the whole gang bustin' up in here hogging up all this delicious lobster. especially cog. you know how much that mangy primate eats.
It may already be too late Tin. I came across some very limp and stringy banana peel in my last mouthful. And if we do run out of lobster I'm good to go with crab.
You can't just tell me it spun out of a gastrous ball
I learned a new word, "gastrous". Judging from Steve Harvey's intellectual level, I'd guess that he tried to say "gaseous" while suffering from some kind of gastric discomfort. But Google informed me that there is an obsolete Scottish dialect word "gastrous", meaning "monstrous".
This Harvey fellow accuses atheists of having no moral barometer, yet his own moral compass guided him onto the stage at the 2017 Miss Universe contest in the Philippines, where his towering intellect enabled him to get the winner and runner-up mixed up. He apologized for the error, but he's never apologized for being involved in a gastrous Trump-tainted cattle auction. So much for Christian morals. What a bletherskate.
Certainly, a good laugh^^.
I've got time on my hands and this is going to be fun....
1. RE: "Don't date an atheist. You don't know where the moral barometer is."
A. FACT: Divorce rates among atheists lowest in America. (The Barna Research Group,)
27% of born-again Christians have had at least one divorce
21% of atheists have been divorced
24% of Mormons have been divorced
25% of mainstream Protestants have been divorced
29% of Baptists have been divorced
24% of nondenominational, independent Protestants have been divorced
https://www.learnreligions.com/divorce-rates-for-atheists-248494
"The highest divorce rates are in the Bible Belt: "Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, and Oklahoma round
out the Top Five in the frequency of divorce...the divorce rates in these conservative states are roughly
50 percent above the national average" of 4.2/1000 people." (Steve Harvey is an IDIOT)
2. RE: "I just believe if you don't believe in God, then where is your moral barometer?"
A. Abortion rates and religion.
Many abortion patients reported a religious affiliation—24% were Catholic, 17% were mainline
Protestant, 13% were evangelical Protestant and 8% identified with some other religion. Thirty-
eight percent of patients had no religious affiliation. (62% were Religious. 38% claimed no
religion.) (Further Evidence that Steve Harvey is an IDIOT!)

3. RE: Rape:
A. "U.S. emerging adults. A sample of 653 university students aged 18 to 30 years were recruited
from a large public university in the southern United States to complete the research
questionnaires. Results indicated that individuals who identified as Roman Catholic or
Protestant endorsed higher levels of rape myth acceptance than their atheist or agnostic
counterparts. Men were found more likely to ascribe to rape myths than their female
counterparts. Religiosity was positively associated with rape myth acceptance, even after
controlling the effect of conservative political ideology higher levels of rape myth acceptance
than their atheist or agnostic counterparts. Men were found more likely to ascribe to rape
myths than their female counterparts. Religiosity was positively associated with
rape myth acceptance,..." ((Michael D. Barnett,1 Kylie B. Sligar,1 and Chiachih D. C. Wang)

4. RE: Suicide and religion.
We found that past suicide attempts were more common among depressed patients with a religious
affiliation (OR 2.25, p=.007). Suicide ideation was greater among depressed patients who considered
religion more important (Coeff. 1.18, p=.026), and those who attended services more frequently (Coeff.
1.99, p=.001). We conclude that the relationship between religion and suicide risk factors is complex,
and can vary among different patient populations. Physicians should seek deeper understanding of the
role of religion in an individual patient’s life in order to understand the person’s suicide risk factors more
fully. (Basically Steve Harvey is a fucking idiot!)

WHERE IS THIS MORALITY HE IS TALKING ABOUT? THIS LIST COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON.....
So this moron doesn't know that evolution is part of the scientific field of biology and not physics, and doesn't now that it makes no claims about the origins of the universe, and best of all he uses the dumbest creationist canard of "if we evolved from monkeys" why are there still monkeys, and he calls atheists idiots. He also espouses the usual lie that atheist have no moral compass, I guess he also unaware of the longstanding research in his country that shows that there are a disproportionately lower percentage of atheists entering prisons than there are in the general population.
Oh dear, now he's using an argumentum ad ignorantiam fallacy, no an atheist does not need to know how the universe originated, though his breathtaking ignorance of physic and biology is just too ironic given he is hurling around words like idiot.
What I find more disturbing than Steve Harvey’s nonsense is the quantity of people who agree with him....and particularly those in government.
