You have been unjustly silenced and hated by the religious long enough. Right?

I thought that atheism is simply the lack of belief in gods.  I didn't realize that we have a code of morality.

We are all born religious, if you recognize that all religions are, are competing tribes.

Atheists do have a mostly unwritten code and ideology. 

It shows in the stats that show that the less religiosity in a nation, the more peaceful and law abiding it is.

The same peace seeking force works within all of us. Religions often nullify it, which is also shown in the stats. Bastards.

Christians are immoral, a consequence of holding to an immoral religion. You are a gnostic christian. In what context are christians immoral as a consequence of a christian religion that you, as a christian, are not, as a consequence of a christian religion?

We read scriptures differently as we see why the bible was compiled.

We read with logos while they read with mythos. Foolish literalists.

Gnostic Christians are seekers while Christians are idolaters.

This forces a double moral standard where, as in Job, they forgive Yahweh for evil deeds that they would condemn a man for doing.

This thinking even applied to the Kind David story, where Yahweh tortures a the Kings baby for 6 days before finally murdering it, all because of his anger against the King. 

All forgivable.

They adore a genocidal moral monster while Gnostic Christians call that prick a prick.

You decide who holds the moral high ground.

It can happen to any tribe, even an atheist tribe, and morals are mostly subjective and flexible.

The best tribe will eventually rule. It will not believe in the supernatural but will be more agnostic and natural.

More like Gnostic Christianity.

I know that Jesus is thought to be the epitome of good morals, ethics and judgements.
 
Armageddon, to this Christian, is not a Christian ideal. It is in fact, evil.
 
When I look at Yahweh and the days of mythical Noah, and think of the streams of hell bound souls, as compared to the trickle for heaven, I do not look forward to that Jesus showing up.
 
I much prefer the moral Gnostic Christian Jesus.
 
All good Christians do. He is not evil.

After posting this here twice I got a little curious.

It appears that this exact post....by you...appears on at least a half dozen other forums out on the intertubz.  This is a blatant violation of our rules.

GIA: can you please explain why the same post has been appearing across multiple sites?

We take plagiarism and/or spamming very seriously.

Normally we would ban outright but I'm giving you an opportunity to explain.

That's not a difference between christian sects.   It's a similarity.

Is your mythical christ a moral improvement to their literal christ?

Are double standards bad.....?

I have decided.  You both worship an immoral monster.  You call their immoral monster a prick, they call yours a prick - I agree.

That would be deleterious to your moral condemnation if it were a genuine position that you held. Is your position on other christians an example of this type of morality? Subjective, flexible?
