atheism and children

[Alex K]

The difference between atheists and you is that we can actually acknowledge that nature is an unmitigated disaster, and consequently work on improving the situation, whereas you Christians somehow still have to believe that it's cool the way it is, making excuses for your imagined abusive tyrant who lets his creation suffer. Many atheists feel that nature is cruel and proceed to do something about it. Christians do, too, but they first have to overcome this sick idea that somehow creation deserves it, as evidenced by the stockholmesque excuses you make for the cruelty of your God upthread, and what reads to me almost like a declaration of ethical bankrupcy.

Atheists are better than everyonnnnnnneee (especially Christians), yayyyyyy!!!!

Lol.

I wish it were that simple, I wish becoming an atheist would automatically make one a good person. Everyone knows that that is not the case. What are you trying to do with your selective bold quote?

I'm merely highlighting that Christianity can be a serious obstacle for ethical behavior. Way to ignore the substance of what is said to you about your faith, as you always do because you have to. Christians are so used to claiming the moral high ground that they tend to become confused when it is pointed out to them that their religion can be a strong hindrance as well, that they are ethically compromised because of it.
