In Dostoevsky's classic, "The Brothers Karamazov," one of the brilliant characters, Ivan Fyodorovich, states the following:
"...were mankind's belief in its immortality to be destroyed, not only love but also any living power to continue the life of the world would at once dry up in it. Not only that but then nothing would be immoral any longer, everything would be permitted, even the eating of human flesh (anthropophagy)."
Another character summarizes Ivan's view this way: "Evildoing should not only be permitted but even should be acknowledged as the most necessary and most intelligent solution for the situation of every godless person!"
The contention of this debate is to answer the age-old question, "Does atheism imply immorality, or can the moral landscape be salvaged some other way than in the existence of the divine?"
Actually morality is not subjective at all so the I stigator is factually incorrect

You know, if you made a new debate and made the resolution something like, "If God exists, then morality is objective," I might just be willing to accept that one.
Morality is subjective regardless of whether or not God exists.
