@@muZlimGigachad They didn't get it from medieval heretic hunters, and witch burners that's for damn sure. The bible is no place for ethics or objective morality. An objective morality would be valid for every person regardless of their cultural heritage, political attachment, or faith. Not only is biblical morality unable to offer objectivity, it cannot increase moral responsibility. A religious person must simply submit to whatever rules your God hands down. Believers naturally defend the bible by picking out just the “good” parts. But you could just as well pick out the “good” parts of any large body of literature, from sacred texts to secular novels. Picking through Shakespeare would serve just as well. Atheists can do this selecting from the world’s cultural resources too, and there is no evidence that atheists must be less moral than believers just because they think first. So don't point to the bible and claim morality. Read it instead and weep.

I am not in a different religious because I believe that the religions I am in is the best of the ones I"ve investigated. It also is accepting of whatever is good in those other religions, so I can adopt practices from those religions as well. All religions are different, but most popular ones agree on many things, not surprisingly. Truth is truth, and a deeper truth is a deeper truth. My own experience is that everyone has a religion, especially atheists. Did you know that in the famed Madelyn Murray O'Hair case, that eliminated faculty-led prayer from the public schools, the atheists bringing the suit insisted that atheism was a religion. Ironically Madelyn was murdered by other atheists, and her son, the subject of the suit, became a Christian in adulthood! So we can ask the same question of you, if you have chosen atheism as your religion, why aren't you in a different religion?

@@joemarshall4226 The whole premise of your argument is false. Atheism has no pope, no tenets, dogmas, or rituals - it is simply non-belief in a deity. Atheism has nothing to do with any social or political beliefs - you can find an atheist on any side of any issue. Religion involves some type of communal practice, or organized worship services, where certain ideas must be accepted (except your religion, where apparently anything goes), and your monetary contributions are expected. Atheism is simply not believing in a God or gods because no god claim has ever met it's burden of proof, at least in the mind of the atheist. To call that a religion is pure sophistry.

@@jimd6641 Well, atheism IS a religion, because atheists insisted it was, and the Supreme Court ruled that it was. And you are doing the same hedging that modern atheists do all the time. You are saying that atheism is just non-belief in a deity. Non-belief due to lack of evidence is agnosticism. Atheism is defined as the BELIEF that there is no God. The way you describe it, your belief could change with better evidence. But many world religions have no god. Confucianism, Taoism, and Shinto among them. Your definition of my religious belief is wrong. Communal practices and organized worship practices are not a must for something to be a religion, Neither is the giving of contributions. And many non-religious groups require contributions....dues, for clubs, etc. I never said anything goes. I said most religions agree on many things, so I can identify with whatever is good about another religion. For instance, the Abrahamic religions all agree that Charity to the less fortunate is good. Buddhism agrees with Christianity about care for the environment. Atheism has not Pope. Well all but one religions has no Pope, so that is not a requirement for a religion, either. As an atheist, the more important question is, "What do YOU, personally, believe in, other than non-belief?"

Of course, in the era of ego, nobody thinks they're going there, while the shitstorm we're in clearly indicate most of us would. Although, now I'm free from this damaging belief and can think more clearly, I must say: in the end, I think any eternal existence would be eternal damnation.

Owen S If God is infinite then all possibilities exist in him/her/it, even the possibility of evil. We all are so ignorant and stupid: does that also mean that there is no God, because God is presumably all knowing? God is omnipotent because ultimately ignorance and evil are overcome. God is omnipotent because ignorance evolves to infinite knowledge, darkness to light. The lower terms end for the higher to be!

I think both christian’s and atheists are so insufferable sometimes, how will we ever come to an agreement if we won’t hear each other out. Only way to truly convert someone is to have an open mind, answer truthfully, listen, be ready to be proven wrong and we might actually get somewhere. I’m an atheist and my friend is a recently turned christian and we discuss religion a lot, we’ve never had a single argument that landed in a bad way because we respect each others beliefs. My aim isn’t to convert him to atheism it’s too convert myself, I want to be proven wrong and know for sure god exists but so far i’m not convinced. I just simply answer and question him about things that bother me and he gives me his own answers to those and it’s really healthy and he’ll remain my best friend no matter what. I’m sorry you have to put up with atheists who always try to put down christian’s, it’s just as annoying as christian’s who are ignorant. Atheist like to be so nonchalant like they’re such smartasses who knows so much and christian’s are dumb fairytale believers when in reality neither is true.

Turning to Hitchens' reply, imagine what it must be like to be able to speak so fluently, so elegantly and so knowledgeably, off the top of your head. He was a one-off.

The issue at hand is sin and God’s nature of being just. Sin brings suffering (the pleasure is short term, and the suffering is long term-on earth and in hell forever). God brings Righteousness (may have short term suffering followed by long term pleasure- on earth and in Heaven). If you love yourself repent of your sins (lying, hatred, unforgiveness, sexual sins, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, stealing, dishonouring your parents etc) & believe in Jesus for forgiveness of sins. (Jesus died on the Cross as a sacrifice and defeated death by rising from the dead)

Stalin trained to be a priest, and what power-crazed dictator wouldn't eagerly seize on the control over the peasants offered by a thousand years of subservience to the priesthood. Hitler was a Catholic who followed the road map provided by renegade Catholic priest Martin Luther when carrying out persecution and extermination of millions of Jews for the "crime" of being Jews. Most of those who died under Mao's rule died because Mao was a city boy who understood nothing of agriculture, or of basic economics. The war on sparrows led to insect eating birds being killed and a massive increase in the insect population causing failure of the wind pollenated grain harvest which was eaten by insects, leading to famine. That famine was exacerbated by attempting to build a massive steel industry from nothing in too short a time, pulling farm workers from the fields to work in foundries. So your best examples of "Atheist genocides" are a failed priest using the obedience instilled by the church, a Christian carrying out the plan set out by another Christian, and an idiot with good intentions.

Spiritual is viable but it is based in science of the brain operating in a collective with others. Psychology. Anything magical where one must wait till they die is kid stuff. Follow Buddha or Lao Tzu. Perhaps that's what you meant but they need to be differentiated. Religion is living through local programming one did not find on their own.

Here's a foot in mouth, public record comment from Richard Dawkins....... *"You often find people who say, well, evolution is a theory of chance, in the absence of a designer. If it really were a theory of chance, of course they would be right to dismiss it as nonsense. No chance process could give rise to the prodigy of organized complexity that is the living world. But it’s not random chance. Natural selection is the exact opposite of a chance process."* Richard Dawkins. Yes! THAT Richard Dawkins. The militant atheist, evolutionary biologist twit caught on the public record as accidentally admitting the Existence of God. LOL!

Which begs the question : if so, how is one going to behave once they get through the door? I guess that is why Jesus or Paul emphasized faith over good works.

@@tacky4237 I've been "saved". Spent most of my life until age 21 in the church. Was devout. Read my Bible. Prayed everyday. Firmly believed everything about it. Desires with all my heart to follow God, to love him, keep his commandments, etc. But none of it was an experience that was rooted outside of myself - it was an experience I had deluded myself into thinking I was having. I left religion - not because "religion hurt me", or "the church hurt me" or whatever stereotype - but because I began to read and learn about science, world history, philosophy, etc. And no, I didn't just blindly accept the contrary argument, I investigated them and compared their reasoning. Very little about religion makes sense - and there is every reason to believe it is a tool by bronze age leaders to keep society under control. There was (and maybe still is) a utility in that. But don't delude yourself into thinking that utility equates an intrinsic reality. I have strong convictions about ethics - I have developed that with reason, not with belief. Unless someone's neurology is significantly impaired, there is a human aspect to us that senses ethical codes of conduct towards each other and ourselves. You can call it conscience if you want, but I call it empathy and respect of persons. I feel like I am a happier, more forgiving, more empathetic, more sincere person than I was back then.

Ronnie D yawn, same tired thing apologists have said for decades in defense of their obvious mythical beliefs. Thousands of gods and religions, but you picked the right one and the billions that have lived and died before you and never heard the word of sweet jesus can go straight to hell. As if humans are the only intelligent life in earth, you realize pigs and whales have the exact same DNA as we do, and they exhibit behavior that shows an awareness of family and even ethical “moral” behavior. But right we’re the ones made in God’s perfect image animals are all going to hell too, and so are microorganisms. You know those creatures your almighty god didn’t give us domain over, as has been evidenced in epidemics and pathogens like the Black Plague that was not delivered by a vengeful god to condemn their wickedness, as the clergy doubtlessly preached at the time, but because of sewage getting into the drinking water. Did rationality come from nature? Yes! We came from nature and we invented rationality, it’s all man made, like the language you and I are speaking in is man made, like the Koran and Book of Mormon and the Bible were all man made, It actually makes a lot of sense if you stop buying the same fairytale magical horseshit you’ve been spoon-fed since infancy.

The issue at hand is sin and God’s nature of being just. Sin brings suffering (the pleasure is short term, and the suffering is long term-on earth and in hell forever). God brings Righteousness (may have short term suffering followed by long term pleasure- on earth and in Heaven). If you love yourself repent of your sins (lying, hatred, unforgiveness, sexual sins, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, stealing, dishonouring your parents etc) & believe in Jesus for forgiveness of sins. (Jesus died on the Cross as a sacrifice and defeated death by rising from the dead)
