Quote:Nazis respect Hitler. Therefore...
Not that being religious is comparable to Nazism, or anything, just following this line of logic to the end. It isn't like people don't disrespect atheism all the time (though there isn't any particular figure to disrespect, per se).
I don't see why atheists feel the need to disrespect religious figures in the childish and cruel way that they do. I don't disrespect atheists, ever, I don't ridicule atheists, I have criticized atheists harshly, but it was done in love, I don't go around just making fun of atheists for fun.
It is a serious thing to make fun of God. You are convincing others that religious authority is illegitimate, and you are not using reason to do it, you are mocking religion. I can assure you that God will not forget this. I saw every event of my life flash before my eyes, the judgement is real.
Why not criticize religion instead of mocking it? Why aim your advocacy at the young and those incapable of argumentation? Why do you need to rely on mocking and non rational persuasion techniques if, in fact, your belief system is intellectually tenable (which it isn't).
Quote:Sin =/= bad things. It only means things your god is said to not approve of. You yourself said that evil was simply whatever god didn't like.
This is the very definition of subjective morality, and for which no evidence beyond opinion has been applied.
This is the fruit of atheists mocking religion. They think that even if God existed, they wouldn't have any responsibility to listen to God or value God's perceptions of the life that God created and fixed each thing with a specific end and purpose and values at the moment God created it. It is because atheists have no respect and are often simply proud, haughty people.
God has authority because God is God and God created everything. Can't you just accept that if God existed, you would be obligated to obey HaShem?
