Can Atheists Have a Code of Sexual Morality?

Can Atheists Have a Code of Sexual Morality?

Full story: www.psychologytoday.com
Grownup atheists don't need to fear some metaphysical being in order to prefer doing what's right-all clear-thinking adults prefer doing what's right. And grownup atheists don't need a one-size-fits-all menu of sexual acts. They know that doing only the sexual acts on God's Preferred List is no guarantee of moral decision-making or ethical behavior. And they have experienced the deep satisfaction of ethical decision-making while rockin' the house with taboo sexual acts that would make seraphim and cherubim blush.



Now this is just plain stupid. How can one possible even think that an atheist has any morals at all. You gain all knowledge of morality from the Bible and God!

With out the Word of God how do we know how we should conduct ourselves?


John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Romans 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Re: Can Atheists Have a Code of Sexual Morality?

Athiests do not have a code of sexual morality. Many of them do not have any morals at all.

The writer is just a atheist God mocker look at what he wrote

"But the question-can atheists have a code of sexual morality?-is very much like asking if blacks can really be good parents, or if gays can be expected to keep their hands off their fellow soldiers while showering or sleeping.

Just substitute the word "Baptist" or "Jew" for the word "atheist" to get a sense of how offensive and absurd the question is."

His title "certified sex therapist" is just another name for a whore

You know that a man who worships seven hours a day has to be a man of God.

No.

or if gays can be expected to keep their hands off their fellow soldiers while showering or sleeping."

No.



Exactly what point is this idiot trying to make here?

Re: Can Atheists Have a Code of Sexual Morality?

I don't really know why atheists bother with morality. I don't know the answer to your question, but I will make a prediction: atheists will start to post that they do what feels good to them, not what's written in a book (unless it's that damned Kuma Sutra).

Re: Can Atheists Have a Code of Sexual Morality?

I got a kick out of this statement

If I'm trapped in a foxhole-or a shower, slumber party, or abandoned farmhouse-give me someone who celebrates the human capacity for understanding and choosing what's right, rather than someone who needs to be told what's right, and then chooses it to avoid punishment.

How can you be trapped in a shower unless the door jams or you are invaded by Homers?
If its the Homers, them you made a poor choice of shower location.
Now who understands the human capacity for understanding, better then Jesus? And who understands Jesus more than a True Christian? Certainly not an atheist.

Re: Can Atheists Have a Code of Sexual Morality?

Well now - see - he starts off well by pointing out the obvious...

"But the question-can atheists have a code of sexual morality?-is very much like asking if blacks can really be good parents, or if gays can be expected to keep their hands off their fellow soldiers while showering or sleeping."

...but then goes and completely ruins the excellent and self-evident truth that he put in the previous sentence.

Just substitute the word "Baptist" or "Jew" for the word "atheist" to get a sense of how offensive and absurd the question is."

It's like saying "I love Jesus" and then saying "I'm a catlick". The second contradicts the first.

Honestly, I don't think he's very bright.

Re: Can Atheists Have a Code of Sexual Morality?

I thought the whole reason that people became atheists is that they want to have sex without consideration for morality and responsibility.

That why people become wiccans, after all. Also they want to be able to have sex and still remain fat and ugly.

Psalm 14:1

1 The fool says in his heart,
"There is no God."
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.

Case closed.

Clarification: it's not just that atheists are vile and corrupt, but that so-call Christians who commit vile deeds like sodomy of all types are atheists by definition of their deeds. If you really believed in God would you commit vile deeds, knowing that he is watching over you at all times! No, I should say not! More than that, but the Lord is present in all of his creation, so not only are you commiting vile sins in his sight, you are commiting them in his very presence! Therefore by commiting vile deeds in the very presence of the Lord means that you are affirming IN YOUR HEART that there is no God. Therefore all sodomites and perverts are atheists by deed and not Christians.

If atheists can have a code of sexual morality, or any morality at all, how do you explain the percentage of prisoners who are atheists?

Pasta Freak did you notice not one single True Christian(TM) in the lot, not one Baptist.
Now it seems to me that them damn Catliks and Protestants are there for one reason, Child Buggery, Just goes to show you what happens when your are not Christian.

Now as far as Pastafarians, its not real so your numbers are false, just like your noodle god!

Must you hijack every thread to proselytize for your noodle cult? If I wanted to worship wheat products, I'd still be a Catholic.

Now you may not agree with it, and I could understand why, but you would have to take it up with the Federal authorities as to why they define Protestants as follows:
In today’s terms, a Protestant is merely a Christian that does not consider themselves to be Catholic. Many fall under this generalization, such as Presbyterians, Methodists, Episcopalians, and even Baptists.

I also accept that according to the first Reformers, and even some Catholics during the 16th Century, a group called the Anabaptists existed for many centuries before the Reformation. These Anabaptists are today’s Baptists. Anabaptist is a term that means “re-baptizers.”

But that is something you will need to take up with the feds not I.

Now as far as Pastafarians, its not real so your numbers are false, just like your noodle god!

Oh we are very real James, as is The Flying Spaghetti Monster, unlike your imaginary friend and your made up book.
