Plenty of that going on here, currently....they all read from the same bullshit mill, and it runs on cycles (it's monetized...you see.....). Wait a month, they'll be on to something else. Why take it on at all, if they say there'd be no morality without god...and if it weren't for god they be out raping and pillaging...just agree.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Xtians say lots of stupid shit. Where's the news in that?
As Rhythm says, plenty of threads right here.
There's actually a killer argument against it: What does it say about a person, who needs some ultimate authority to not go out on a killing spree? If they need the threat of ultimate punishment to not be assholes, they are just sad losers. Other than that, sorry, I don't do facebook if I can help it. ![[Image: Bumper+Sticker+-+Asheville+-+Praise+Dog3.JPG]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-d-3rfdI7nG0%2FTerwtFyFXoI%2FAAAAAAAACak%2F7kFSmHeVrng%2Fs320%2FBumper%2BSticker%2B-%2BAsheville%2B-%2BPraise%2BDog3.JPG)

Why do atheists want to be our God?
What a moron. Morality "coming from God" is an unfalsifiable and therefor useless propositon. Objective morality coming from God is a contradiction, it would be subjective to God and therefor only in line with our wellbeing by coincidence. Theists only follow the morality "given by God" when it lines up with their own, and ignore the rest of it. So all they are doing it using their own morality, the same as atheists do, just they are claiming divine righteousness. The only difference is their own morality may be corrupted by the religious edicts, pressuring them into doing things they wouldn't otherwise do. Feel free to send me a private message.

Why would it be appropriate for us to come to your rescue and/or dog pile on her? We're not the atheist fire department. Howabout you write an introduction in the introduction section, participate here for a bit, and become part of the community?

It seems I need barely a nudge to go into soapbox mode :p Went all glassy eyed again.

I'll bite
 Quote:Atheists like to claim that our own sense of empathy should be our guideline for morality. At the same time, they scoff at christians who get their morality from god's word and not themselves. But it's only their mere opinion that empathy should ground morality, and I'm not bound to their opinions. So I continue to ask...why do atheists want to be our God? The failure here is in "christians who get their morality from god's word". A few assumptions are at work here: - There is a god - This god speaks - This god has spoken to humans - humans have recorded that word reliably - The god is reliably represented by the christian religion Atheists, on the other hand, assume that... err... people exist and need to work together as a society. Which seems more far fetched? |
