Re: Why atheism is wrong - the shocking and unbiased truth

What the main post talked about was not atheists, but stupid atheists... And there's stupid people everywhere, no matter what religion.

If you would read the bible, you would know that all atheists are fools, and thus, you are a fool as well.

Psalm

14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Re: Why atheism is wrong - the shocking and unbiased truth

It was meant to be an extraordinary claim, yet I believe most evolutionists would agree with me. I don't have extraordinary evidence, just suggestive evidence for any open-minded person to consider.

I'm not interested in your opinions. You asserted something as fact; I want evidence.

Get to work on something besides your 'opinions'. Your opinions are not evidence.

I thought you atheists were supposed to be all about 'evidence'. Yet here you have none.

Re: Why atheism is wrong - the shocking and unbiased truth

You are misinformed. The only thing that is true of all atheists is that they don't believe in God. For the most part atheists have the same moral code as everyone else. There are liars and truth-tellers among both atheists and theists. I know that not all atheists are liars because I am my own counter-example.

I keep coming back to this. Matthew and Luke both wrote geneologies of Jesus. They agreed on Adam to King David, then they traced Joseph's lineage through different sons of King David. Was it Matthew who lied or Luke, or was it both of them?

Can't you read? Has God smitten you with illiteracy for marrying a heathen darkie? Your question has been answered before by a True Christian.

So there you go. It's pretty simple, really. There are other explanations besides Africanus' explanation, suggesting some of the differences have to do with legal fatherhood vs. biological fatherhood; in other words, the biological father dies, and then the son is deemed the legal son of the adoptive father.

I hope this helps you on your walk with Jesus.

And why are we supposed to believe you when you tell us you don't lie, but you won't believe us when we tell you God exists? For God, at least, there's overwhelming evidence.

Don't you feel "stupid atheists" is redundant? Every atheist I ever met has been dumb as a wicker basket.

Well of course you have no evidence. There is none because evilution is a lie from HELL. Your witchcraft has blinded you in your deceitful practices of deception.

Galatians

5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Altruism puts the individual at risk to the benefit of the species. For example, worker bees lose their stings and their lives when they attack, but they protect their mother, the queen bee, who lays thousands of eggs to replace the worker bees lost. Mothers of many species fight fiercely for their babies. They could retreat and leave their offspring behind, but then their genes would be lost to the next generation. By putting themselves at risk, they increase the odds that their genes will persist and that the same altruistic tendencies will be passed on to their children who will repeat the same risky but beneficial behavior.

As humans, most of us have an inhibition against killing even if we didn't have the ten commanments. Even when it would seem to be to the benefit of the individual, the inhibition improves the tribe's odds of survival. What beneficial altruistic behavior that is not programmed into us biologically we develop culturally. The more successful we are as a species, the larger our reference groups become, so that ultimately what benefits the tribe expands to benefit the nation, then the world at large.
...

You fluffy bunny cafeteria atheists make me sick. Let's take a look at infanticide (and filial infanticide), and for that matter cannibalism. All it takes is one counter example to disprove your groundless assertions. Put that in your bong and smoke it for awhile.

In animals, infanticide involves the killing of young offspring by a mature animal of its own species, and is studied in zoology, specifically in the field of ethology. Ovicide is the analogous destruction of eggs. Although human infanticide has been widely studied, the practice has been observed in many other species throughout the animal kingdom. These include microscopic rotifers, insects, fish, amphibians, birds and mammals.[1] Infanticide can be practiced by both males and females.

Infanticide caused by sexual conflict has the general theme of the killer (often male) becoming the new sexual partner of the victim's parent, which would otherwise be unavailable. This represents a gain in fitness by the killer, and a loss in fitness by the parents of the offspring killed. This is a type of evolutionary struggle between the two sexes, in which the victim sex may have counter-adaptations that reduce the success of this practice. It may also occur for other reasons, such as the struggle for food between females. In this case individuals may even kill closely related offspring.

Filial infanticide occurs when a parent kills its own offspring. This sometimes involves consumption of the young themselves, which is termed filial cannibalism. The behavior is widespread in fishes, and is seen in terrestrial animals as well. Human infanticide has been recorded in almost every culture. A unique aspect of human infanticide is selective killing based on gender.

Re: Why atheism is wrong - the shocking and unbiased truth

I am not a liar and I assume you are not either.

The former is demonstrably untrue, as it is a well-established fact that all atheists are liars, since they have no morality.

The latter is quite true. A True Christian™ would never lie, unless God commanded us to.

There are some circumstances in which atheists and theists would agree that lying is justified--to protect military secrets, for example. But God's occassional commandment to lie is a big loophole which atheists do not have.

Remember my definition of a lie: a statement known or believed by its maker to be untrue that is made with the intent to deceive. By this criterion we may all tell falsehoods from time to time without lying because we believe the falsehoods we are telling. The notion that all atheists lie is a falsehood and possibly a lie.

Re: Why atheism is wrong - the shocking and unbiased truth

I will make just one claim: We owe our moral codes not to any religion but to evolution.

That's an extraordinary claim.

Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence.

We eagerly await your extraordinary evidence.

Religion is one means of enforcing morality; the law is another. Religion relies on the idea of Heaven and Hell to induce people to do what they otherwise would not do, to the benefit of either the society or the church. The law uses fines and prisons to induce behavior beneficial either to the people or to the rulers, but both depend on a pre-existing sense of morality that has enabled our species to get this far in the first place.

Re: Why atheism is wrong - the shocking and unbiased truth

I notice that many Atheists argue that they have "morals" without "God". To state that one has "morals", one must believe in "good" and "evil". If one believes in good and evil, then one must believe in a moral law by which to delineate and differentiate between good and evil. If one belives in a moral law by which good and evil are differentiated, one must believe in a moral law giver. Anyone who claims to be "moral" acknowledges the existence of God by default.

If morals are "relative", and we are but "cosmic accidents" as Bertrand Russell (et al) claimed, then how can one make arguments for morality in an amoral universe? In this sense, Atheism contradicts itself.

Re: Why atheism is wrong - the shocking and unbiased truth

HeathenBasher's arguments against atheism are so riddled with fallacies that they appear to be a graduate class on logical arguments.

This was not what I meant to say. The quote should read as follows:

HeathenBasher's arguments against atheism are so riddled with fallacies that they appear to be a parody on logical arguments.

That doesn't seem like a mistake I would make. Is it possible that someone edited my post? If so, how would I find out? (Whatever you say, I will take your word for it. I am not a liar and I assume you are not either.)
