I'm asking Atheists because this rule seems logical to me and illogical to my ex-inmate turned Xian little brother who is currently living on my sofa

I see no fallacies in your logics! Not sure your little brother can take it though.
Tell him that he'll go to hell if he disobeys you. There must be some ruling on disobeying one's sister in the Bible ...
EDIT: Why the heck should SHE give up the joy of using real plates when he's the one eating from them and she's probably the one who cooks?

It seems perfectly logical to me. However, I think I might add to that if you're not going to do the dishes, there are a million and one other things in the house that can be done as your contribution.
For instance, in my house, I do dishes, my husband cooks and our roommate keeps the girls entertained so that we can actually get stuff done around the house. Not the greatest help, but at least he's keeping them out from under foot and away from things that can hurt them.

Seems logical and fair, as a baseline.
However, if he is so unwilling to be helpful in the house, I suspect he is doing little to nothing towards finding a job. If this is so, it may be that he should be asked to leave and enter a half-way home where he can receive counseling and even therapy for what sounds like it might be indicitive of PTSD or clinical depression.

Yes, that seems reasonable. Alternatively though if one doesn't wish to wash dishes then one might also need to be willing to toss them out.
Impractical but just a thought.

Endora, would you like a little Bible Verse to use on your Christian Brother?
My mom who was a pastor's wife, used this to get my dad and brothers to do dishes when they stated it was women's work.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=12&chapter=21&verse=13&version=9&context=verse
13And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.
EDIT: II Kings 21:13 in the King James Version (it is only found in that version, though) :(

I'm not athiest, I'm agnostic.
But I'd kick out anyone who wasn't washing their dishes, I hate dirty people.
Interestingly enough the worst room mate I ever had for not washing dishes was a Christian too. This is almost certainly a coincidence, but I do sympathise.
WASH YOUR BLOODY DISHES!!!!

My husband is an atheist he uses dishes all the time but washes them maybe once a month.
I think your issue in this is against men, not Christians. I am a Christian and I wash dishes three times a day.

I think it's pretty unrealistic. But then I don't mind washing dishes. What I mind is searching the house for dirty dishes that get left anywhere. I figure if they want them washed, they bring them to the kitchen, rinse them off, and stack them neatly.
