Teehee

I do not believe that earth has a shape and also I believe God does and doesn't exist at the same time. So what shall I choose?
-
WOW, NO ONE HAS EVER MADE A POLL LIKE THIS BEFORE. TEEHEE.

How can you be an atheist and believe in a flat earth? That boggles me.

@Luke
Because they think the facts given by Theists is right, so definitely it must be flat because these people say so and give no real, grand proof. :D

Lots of stuff boggles you.

Which would include you. As far as I can tell you've never made an attempt to argue for your side.

I guess you did not bother to read Luke's signature ::).

I argue against the dangerous penguins every day!
-
I believe that when we die, we rot.
As for the shape of the Earth, who gives a shit. Oh, right...

I'd assumed it was silly banter and not of any real consequence.

The penguins are serious business.

Simply by not having faith. Not even enough faith to believe the scientific consensus. I used to have so little faith that I couldn't even believe that airplanes exist, even though one of my friends claimed to have been in one.
But now I think there is a better way to live: have faith in those for whom you have good reasons to trust.
You have good reasons to trust science: it gave you medicine, it gave you a computer, it gave all that fun you had in school learning it…
And what did religion give us to trust it? I am not going to refer to any specific religion here. Circumcision, FGM, human sacrifices, animal sacrifices, inquisition, indulgence, holding back the science, crusades…

Morals, specifically with Christianity. Even Richard Dawkins said that Christianity is the bulwark against something worse. Paraphrasing of course.

What?

Morality has been a basic defining tenant of humanity
since prehistoric times.
The fact that a brand new religion included morality
in its rule book does not give it ownership of the concept.

But Bullwinkle, Richard Dawkins said something about Christianity being a bulwark against SOMETHING. LOOK IT UP!

And Richard Dawkin's said you suck monkey balls, or something worse. Paraphrasing, of course.

Alright, where did morals came from, what defines something as moral, and why use that dividing line?

How does that Richard Dawkins quote back up whatever it is you're trying to say? Are you saying that Christianity is the only reason you have morals? Or only Christians have morals? I get that you think the earth is only 6,000 yrs old, and that the Christian Bible is the first book and it describes history as it happened exactly... but in reality, the stories in the Bible were borrowed from other older cultures.
Morals vary from culture to culture, and morals are similar (in some cases) from culture to culture. What we find moral or immoral has changed through the ages.

Or other cultures borrowed from Christianity. And my point is that Christians, according to Richard, have the most morals. Or at least their stance on morals is keeping us from something worse.

But some are universal even if twisted to fit the needs of some cultures.
-
Richard Dawkins did not say that Christians have the most morals. lol That doesn't even make sense. I imagine he was comparing Christians to Muslims. Sharia law would be something worse, being forced to adhere to Islam's rules would definitely be worse... than the Christianity we have today. But if we were forced to live by the rules of the Christian Bible then it would be six of one and half a dozen of the other.
-

Come on now! The cultures, if we are using that word the right way, way older than Christianity also had morals.
-
Luke is YEC, he doesn't believe "way older" exists.
-

I looked it up . . .
bul·wark (bo͝ol′wərk, -wôrk′, bŭl′-)n.1. A wall or embankment raised as a defensive fortification; a rampart.
-
Christian "morals" are awesome. Beat your wife (and while you're at it, just let women in general know that they are second rate at best), beat your kids, keep slaves, kill everyone who doesn't believe in shitty imaginery bitchboi Jesus.
Awesome I tell ya! Yay god! Wohoo!!!

It'll be older than the written document I wouldn't argue with you on that but that doesn't mean Christianity didnt existed before it was written.

Luke, Christianity didn't exist until Jesus. You know, that's where the "Christ" in Christian comes from?

As a name yes. But it has roots in Judaism and that was I reffering to.
-
And Judaism has its roots in older cultures... but this is pointless because you probably think it is a sin to learn stuff.
-
"Christianity existed before it was written"?
Seriously? There's so much wrong with that statement, I don't even know where to begin...
-
Whoever was quoting Dawkins should know that he intended the remark about Christianity having a higher moral standard as a direct comparison to Islam.
Of course morality predates Christcuckery by a long shot, but it wasn't until the Great Hook-nosed Cuck, Jesus Christ, got lynched by Jews, that Western civilization embraced such a deviant moral standard.
Sure, in a liberal sense Christfaggotry is superior to Islam, but it is still unabashed Semitic cuckold cult nonsense.
The most righteous and dignified men have always been part of Noire's faithful, from Alexander the Great, to Marcus Aurelius, to Adolf Hitler, and now Donald Trump. It is that impassioned rationalism and appreciation of the inherent superiority of 2D over 3DPD that has been the light holding back the darkness, not the zombie kike and his cloud daddy.
-
Hitler and Trump = rationalism?
Yeah, right. I mean, shitty outdated semitic desert tribalism sucks ass, but come on... ;D
But hey, keep on trollin'. ;)
