I was on thesaurus.com a while ago and noticed this:

http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/ethical

http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/moral


Look at the first word that is used as a synonym for the words, "moral" and "ethical."

WTF?

[Father Demon]

I agree..   that is some kind of farged up.

[Sgt PSN]

Ha!

also on that same page:

Antonyms:     atheistic, irreverent



I guess atheists can not be ethical?

[Wingspan]

There's a simple explanation for that. It's the capital letter. Any proper, or capitalized word comes before lowercase in any alphabetized list in the writing style used by the website.

OMGWTF

OMGWTF

Regardless of whether it's the first word listed or not, the fact that Christian is considered synonomous with ethical and moral is hilarious when you consider all of the damage, death and destruction that has taken place over the last 2000 years in the name of christianity.

and even more specifically, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and other assorted religions were not included in the list.

Sorry...I don't care all that much.

[Diomedes]

of course you don't care...you're on the winning side so far, and don't think about anyone other than yourself

congrats on that

[MadMarchHare]

Well, the silver lining is that Jews, Muslims, Hindus etc weren't on the antonym list.....

[Diomedes]

i'm proud to have been listed as an antonym to Christian

[rjs246]

That shtein makes me sick. More people have died in the name of religion than any other 'cause' and somehow some anonymous and useless internet site says that being a christian is moral while being an atheist is immoral.

Wait, I just talked myself out of being sick. Hooray for teh internets!

The point was it didn't belong there at all.
