Atheist’s think.

Christians just believe.

It's an interesting claim but it needs to be quantified. Even before it can be quantified your claim needs definitions of 'Christians' , 'Atheists', and 'believe'.

Common sense will do. As in all the specious, complex, unreal objections to knowledge, morality and induction.

You cannot reason your way to unwarranted, unjustified, untrue belief.

Not sure I understand Parfit's case AGAINST morality needing to harm someone in order to be immoral. It seems to me that if something doesn't harm anyone, then it's not immoral. Is Parfit trying to say that a 14-year-old girl having a child in and of itself doesn't harm anyone and yet is immoral if it doesn't harm anyone? If so, then at first glance it doesn't seem like a particularly strong case AGAINST the concept that immorality necessarily involves harming someone.
