I said in my first post I have no idea why God allowed this terrible event to happen, I'm not omniscient. Could it be that God allowed this to move you into action against such horrible events, did you respond, what have you done. The way I see it atheist should stop blaming God for what man has become through the evolution they believe in and don't give me not all atheist believe in evolution, the only other option is God and you title (atheist) removes you from this belief.
Translation: "It's our fault." Already addressed it (in the OP), but thanks for being predictable. Atheists don't blame god for anything because we don't believe he exists. Get it through your skull.
Quote:Hey silly, man is destroying the spotted owls habitat, man's fault.
Hey silly, the Spotted Owl has started interbreeding with the Barred Owl, which is directly impacting its numbers in the wild, so even if we leave its habitat alone, it may still perish due to its breeding habits. They're teaching us all kinds of crazy things in high school biology these days (or at least they were back before I graduated in '06).
Quote:Just because you do not believe doesn't mean a thing to the child's eternal life, just your's. Yes it comforts me greatly to know this child no longer suffers at the hand of evil and is with God forever. I would say the reason you find what I believe as revolting is because you know at this point in your life you do not have it.
Just because you believe in eternal life, doesn't change the fact that there is no evidence of such a thing. Children are comforted by thoughts of Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, but none of those things are real, and you have no evidence that your god is any different.
The reason your beliefs are revolting is that they demand that you point to an ancient, blood-thirsty, pro-war, pro-rape, pro-genocide fictional character as the creator of the Universe and the source of all goodness, love, and morality therein. Your imaginary friend is imaginary, and if he weren't then he would be an evil monster for reasons I have already explained. The fact that you are able to do the mental gymnastics to ignore this is a testament to the damage religion does to people.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
