Can a consistent atheist have morals?
Offline Hello,
Is it logically possible for atheists to have morals? I thought it best to start on a fresh topic. Besides the laws of the land, what keeps you from being a rapist or a mass murderer since you are worthless according to atheism and no ethics can be afforded to you.
Why is it that via your nature, everything you do is against the Bible. You don't go against Scripture because you intellectually go against Scripture, you do it because you "want" to via your desire. Where does your desire come from?
Isn't hating God a Hate Crime? Why would you be so intolerant about God when He tolerates you and allows you to breath. Why are you so intolerant and why are you so narrow minded that you don't allow the possibility for God.
But then again, according to this site, an agnostic is an atheist. lol. wow, that's a Classificational Fallacy if I ever saw one. Atheist via the etymological term is a fixed claim that there absolutely is no God. And now there are as many definitions for atheism as there are ice scream at Baskin Robbins. Just pick your flavor.
And this is what we would expect to find, since atheism is confusion and ridiculous. Atheism is by definition narrow-minded and is a hate crime since they hate God.
I will be moving for a while so will not be able to get back to this. Perhaps tomorrow before I go. But will return to see the pathetic attempts where atheists claim that they can have morals and they don't kill because of XYZ. Wow,
Now don't do what your nature does. Don't ignore the challenge by asking me about my system. I have already answered this on numerous occasions, but atheists do this to avoid the question often. Have guts and honestly look at this.
The only standard is yourself, which is the very definition of ego-centricism and selfishness. Atheists by definition only think of themselves. They are like babies constantly waiting for the spoon to feed them.
So make your case, if only logically possible.

Thanks!
And that's a good point, I should have added that.
I'm waiting, Jean.

Nothing that'll help anyone:
1. I can't help but wonder if Jean's avatar picture is cropped to delete the image of the a cop frisking him.
2. I don't think giving him a "troll" badge will scare him off. I think he'll probably leave all on his own thinking he's "won".
3. I'd LOVE to see what he's like in person. He probably thinks he's charming and witty.
4. Jean said he was moving, but he kept posting. Priorities, huh?
5. Dude needs a modern dictionary. He obviously doesn't understand words like "moral", or "respect" or "acting like a complete mook". ESL?
6. We have to find and isolate these "Our Lady of Hate and Intolerance" churches. They're gonna be the death of us all.
7. Taking HUGE leaps in faith is normal for this guy, so why are people surprised that he can take such HUGE leaps in logical fallacy as well? (I think, therefore God exists! Mmm hmm!)
8. I don't commit murder because I have too few nice clothes and blood is a bitch to wash out.
9. I think it's nice that there are facilities and people to help the differently abled with basic computer skills. Don't you? Just sayin'.

A little assistance here. A capful of ammonia - the kind you buy in the grocery store on the household cleaners aisle - added to the wash water will remove all blood stains. Follow with a 1/4 cup or so of plain white vinegar in the rinse water, and you won't be able to smell it.
There - no excuse for not murdering that annoying neighbor.

Holy Jesus I almost just peed my pants. This guy is awesome!
I'm with you guys, I think this guy is the best Poe ever. No one can actually be this insane and still be able to use a computer. Don't truly religious psychotics like this fear technology as the ju-ju of the Horned Hell Beastie?
Hahahahahahahaha!
If all the Christians who have called other Christians " not really a Christian " were to vanish, there'd be no Christians left.
I tend to agree with CJ about the self esteem issues. The cut downs, name calling, insisting they are right, and they even become whiny because we won't buy into all this and say they'll pray for us because god put it in their hearts to. A guilt trip more or less. All signs of self esteem problems. Here's a therapist I would recomend Jean, though I don't even know that this one could get through to you.

There have been several people that I have debated with over the years that have been very civil. BUT, oddly enough, when I made some mention of their attitude they would always smile and say "My religion says I must be loving" or even more creepy "God demands that I be nice to you".
It always makes me wonder. Are they telling me that they are being nice, just because it is supposedly dictated to them to do so ? Are they saying that if their religion did NOT teach them to be nice to unbelievers, that they would be cruel, aggresive and probably very dangerous ? Always kinda disturbs me when I hear people say stuff like "Well, the good lord wants us to be kind to others". Always makes me wonder if that is the ONLY reason why they are choosing to do so.

― Giordano Bruno
I suspect in most cases, they are just trying to provide a testimonial. They wish you to think their kind disposition is due to their religion, when in fact it is simply because they are nice by nature.
It always comes down to this: that which is good, attribute to the Lord. That which is bad is the devil's work.
I fucking hate that good people can't take credit for being good, simply because they believe in God.

I actually had a family member tell me one time " I hope I never learn to think for myself, cause I would be so lost without God".
Just like so many people that I encounter, both in my family and outside, that constantly degrade themselves for everything that they do and are always professing how vile and unworthy that they are in the eyes of god.
Hell, it took me years before I could get past the irrational fear that I was just inherently some evil monster for having natural desires and thoughts.
One of my main reasons for disliking religion so much is the simple fact that people live in a world of self-hatred for themselves while simultaneously believing that the universe revolves around them.

I think this is one of historical functions of religion to keep aggressive people in obedience to the rulers. If believers tell us that for them there would be no morals without religion, I don't see why we shouldn't believe them. Unfortunately, it will take generations (if ever) to safely remove religion from human live.
Great Grotty Grue. This right here sums up all that is vile about Christianity. This dichotomy is intrinsic to almost every debate you will ever have with a Christian, and the cause of almost every vile thing a Christian will propose.

That's exactly what it is. Only some say that while doing hideous things that people aren't aware of til it's too late. I know a guy who claims to this day to be a christian but 9 years ago was accused of child molestation from two different little girls. Of course he said he didn't do it but one I know for a fact did. The sick part is his wife stood by him because it's "the christian thing to do" and 2 years later had another baby with him. Turned out the baby was a girl so she'll find out soon enough. Of course unless it scared him bad enough that he realized that most kids end up telling someone. This is why I say some people need christianity because it keeps them in line but the flip side is that for some, there's no help at all.

Isn't the new thing "I'm Second"? I have seen giant billboards with that on there, my girlfriend had to explain to me what it actually meant.
Wonder which Christian bone nugget came up with that one.
"I Am Second", that's it.

Unfortunately this is one heck of a slogan and I suspect it will be incredibly successful in recruiting new young Xians.
The website says it is for drug addicts.
Yep. You trade in a drug addiction for a God addiction. Still not sure which is less harmful...

Well, drug addiction is harmful to yourself and others around you. It causes you to lie to others as well as yourself. You are often out of touch with reality. It makes you spend a ton of money on it and turns you into a babbling idiot after too much exposure. Pretty soon the only other people that want to be around you are other addicts...
Hmm.
Never mind.
