Athiest World

Christians have a reason to be moral, athiests only follow the law when they fear getting caught.

Christians are moral because they fear hell or want heaven. And your either trolling poorly or have turned on your Christian switch.

Just for shits and giggles. What were the crusades all about? and the troubles in Northern Ireland? and pretty much all the wars in between?

Were they because an atheist had sex with a hooker or smoked pot?

Knob end

No, atheists have morals.  It's natural to know what will make someone hurt and what will make someone happy.  For example, a nice person knows not to steal or do shit like that because it will hurt someone else.  It has nothing to do with the Bible.

Personally I see no problem with religion though I am more of an agnostic or deist myself.  The only problem i see with certain religion is that everything good comes with the fact that the consequence will be horrible.  I also find it horrendous to say that one religion is right, while condemning all others. 

orite, it doesn't. Also, I think the atheist approach is more logical. Mentally tormenting stupid people is better than kicking enlightened indivduals in the face. That's not saying that all atheists are smart and all religious people are idiots, but still, these are the worst consequences that can come off each practice.

What does that have to do with my post?

This is the point where theists tend to shout out "Atheism leads to Nazi Germany, Hitler was an Atheist blah blah blah"

1. Do you believe in evolution?

2. Do you want the betterment of the human race?

What do you mean by 'betterment'?

it all depends on whose morals to use. I believe mine are fairly sound. How about you? Oh, that's right, I forgot, you don't have any of your own.

Expect to get the Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot argument here...

My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter.

Why does everybody think whether Hitler was an Atheist or not even matters?

wow. are you kidding me?
 i looked up how many athiests there are and this came up. i was pissed after reading what that guy said.

im an athiest. i have no problem with christians.. jews.. muslims.. or any religion. i have morals. i don't drink or smoke. this thread is pointless and inaccurate.

i've never used science to disprove a god. but ive never seen any proof of god. whenever i've asked for proof i got either A. the reason that person believes in god (IE. the human blood clotting system requiring ALOT of things to be functioning in your body to function properly) or B. "you must have faith."

here is the reason i don't believe in god. it's not scientific, just logical. and i pose it in the form of a few questions.

Who wrote the bible? Where did this person get all this information? Why should we take a book written HUNDREDS of years ago seriously? If Harry Potter had been writen hundreds of years ago, would you believe in a hogwarts just like you believe in heaven?

The way i see it religion is a good thing. It has started a few wars, but without it, most people have no reason to live.

so. What lead you to believe that athiests were immoral?

I'm not going to try and convince anyone there is no god, i could be wrong. maybe there is an upper diety that noone can possibly fatham.

and ill close with this. there will never be any proof of a reason for our existance. and no scientific evidence that can disprove a god will ever be accepted because of the "you must have faith" card.

thanks for your time

alright.. so what if the bible is a compilation? WHERE WAS the infomation gathered? my personal guess. taverns. by people in the tavern. people who have consumed (C2H5OH), people whos train of thought has been distorted by (C2H5OH).

you probably have a different opinion. but, correct me if im wrong but its something like this
"a man found a shitload of golden tablets with writing from a different language, one noone had seen, so he prayed and god gave him the ability to read it, told everyone he was the only one who could read it and translated it"

well at least thats my theory on the book of mormons (im EX-mormon)

but without it, most people have no reason to live.

If they have no reason to live other than religion then I would say that they might as well take themselves closer to their god by jumping off a cliff.
