The part where you a: claim that such a thing is well documented, but when pressed provide
nothing, and b: the part where you diverted from your first dishonest attempt to tar atheists to this one.
Quote:The parishioners who put money in the collection bowl think their priest/pastor is a Christian.
Gaining financial advantage by deception is fraud! It's against the law.
By that logic, all religious collections are fraud, since they're also characterized as donations in service of a god nobody seems to be able to demonstrate exists.
Quote:Just like pedophilia is against the law.
But hey, in for a penny, in for a pound.
Now please demonstrate that there are atheists in for a penny, in this scenario. You're getting ahead of yourself.
Quote:Would you agree that a supposed priest who takes a vow of chastity and preaches from the bible about the sin of sexual immorality...but who secretly is an atheist and a pedophile, is a lying scumbag?
In this hypothetical, yes. But here you are, apparently trying to... actually, what
is your point, here? Aside from being a diversionary tactic, that is.
Quote:I have heard many atheists defend things (which I find sexually immoral,) on the grounds that those same things happen in nature and if animals do it why can't we?
No, you haven't, and the fact that this is what you've drawn from a rebuttal of the religious argument that "X is unnatural," is fucking pathetic.
Quote:Well, an atheist hiding in the clergy, who thinks there is nothing really wrong with stealing money from those stupid moron deluded parishioners may very well say that there is nothing really wrong with a bit of "I take whatever I want" sexual activity? Life is short. Then you die. The End. There is no hell. Why worry. Hahahahahaha!
Well, there are plenty of reasons to worry, but I don't see much reason to even discuss it until you can connect the dots from your wild ass assertions to things that happen in reality, Lion.
Quote:You're an atheist. Go talk to such a person from your own species and explain to them why they "ought" to do what another atheist primate says. Take your atheist bible with you.
Isn't it amazing how most of us poor benighted atheists manage to puzzle through these moral issues and come out the other side okay, and yet you're still tossing these moral canards at us, despite the fact that
you are the one who needs a fucking manual to be a good person?
Quote:If they are bigger and stronger and have sharper fangs, maybe just let them alone to keep doing whatever they want.
And we already know that you don't understand darwinian mechanics, there's no need for you to demonstrate it so clearly again. Now, would you like to backtrack a page and answer for the logical fallacy I initially called you on, Liar IRC?
