"Once man's connection to the divine is denied, you can reason yourself from here to anywhere." from Ann Coulter, "Godless", pg. 277.

Ann is simply wrong-headed. Once man's connection to reality is denied, you can reason yourself to anywhere.

Whether that "divine" is part of reality or merely the fantasy result of falling into the trap of reification/anthropomorphism, is a whole separate issue. It is not fundamental to morality.
