Isn't it amazing how the theists evade the subject so much that they pulled the argument from indoctrination to pedophillia to atheist morals?

Although I appreciate the concern

OK... I just don't think this level of personal interest is appropriate. I'm watching your behavior with Aral, GC.

Watch on deary, there is nothing serious going on here. Hey I've been told I would get my butt whipped if they could find me, I did not take that serious even though it was a direct statement directed towards me, but I would guess that doesn't concern you.

I believe if you had read my post more carefully you would have seen that I never said anything about science being inherently racist. With respect to the larger point, evolutionary concepts like “survival of the fittest” have been used to justify racism in the form of Social Darwinism.

And were quickly discarded as nonsense. This is a viewpoint utterly irrelevant to science in 2013.

Scientists have not been saints, historically. The difference between science and religion is that science admits, discards, and learns from its mistakes.

Quote:I sincerely believe that the secular society was not the origin of today’s moral sensibilities. If it was, secular humanism would have independently developed its own moral system. It did not. It rejected God then piggy-backed on the already existing moral system, like how Thomas Jefferson edited out all the NT miracles to leave only the moral teachings of Jesus. Humanism is not responsible for discouraging eugenics, but rather the remnants of unacknowledged religious conscience.

What unadulterated religious narcissism. A complete whitewashing of history. Next thing you know, secular humanism will have been responsible for African slavery, the Crusades, and the continuing persecution of gays and the poor in America.

Quote:Whereas we can see secular humanists even today trying to rationalize their acceptance of traditional morals without giving credit their Judeo-Christian source.

The religion whose primary contribution to human history is a series of murderous rampages across the globe wants to be credited for inventing good behavior now that the world is too secular for them to continue it.

Screw that. We know which morals actually have a Judeo-Christian source, and they are not morals any of us want any part of.

It is well documented.

They fear the judgement of good Christians.

Think of it as being similar to joining a cult that you waken on day to realize is a cult. You'd have some difficulty getting your butt outta there without a ruckus.

The truth will set them free.
If they are atheists they need to freely confess.

Okay. I freely confess I am an atheist. Happy now?

GC's got this weird behavioral tic where he believes that everything that happens to him should be applied to everyone in that set ("someone else threatened me and therefore you, unconnected atheist, are a hypocrite") . A simplistic view, for a simple person.

However, a school teacher has gone to a new low.
Today while my class was discussing ¨To Kill a Mockingbird¨, my teacher intervened.
She asked us ¨Do you believe that all men are created equal?¨ and told us to state whether we agreed or disagreed. After all of us told her our opinion, she stated this: ¨God created all of you equal, no matter what some evil evolutionist says¨.
Sigh.
A new level of low, even for the south.

Ask her if she would accept DNA evidence in a murder trial. If the answer is yes then she is fucked because DNA confirms evolution.

I am an atheist, I reject your claim of your Poofdaddy as well as all others concocted by human imagination in our species history.

Brian37 and whateverist - the thread strand is about atheists pretending to be Christian clergy.
NOT atheists who proudly proselytise their worldview.

I don't see them trying to convert or induce you into becoming an atheist Lion. Nice diversion though.

Proselytize:
1 : to induce someone to convert to one's faith 2 : to someone to join one's party, institution, or cause
transitive verb
: to recruit or convert especially to a new faith, institution, or cause
