Hello.....I have a little problem

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Why do you not base your views on how we should treat others, marriage, and truth on God’s revealed word in scripture?

Sorry Stat that's a fail on a few levels;


The claim that your sacred books are the word of god is a religious belief, unsupported by credible evidence.

The moral codes found in the Torah and New Testament predate even Judaism by centuries.

They can be found entirely or in part in: Ancient Egyptian texts, Zoroastrianism, and the secular code of Hammurabi;some of which are found almost verbatim in the Torah. Then there are the Greek philosophers. In the Far East there is Hinduism and of course (atheistic) Buddhism.(600bce)The Buddha taught "above all,loving kindness".Plus he taught the great Hindu moral imperative of 'ahimsa'. IE the absence of the desire to harm any living creature.

In more recent times, there was the atheist Karl Marx, a quite profound moral philosopher.

The term "Judeo-Christian morality" is a meaningless term,a mix of elements from all over the place, just like Christianity itself..

So,no my atheism does not inform my behavior or my moral code..

From the code of Hammurabi (ca 2050bce)

If a man puts out the eye of a patrician, his eye shall be put out.
If a man knocks the teeth out of another man, his own teeth will be knocked out.
