Atheism doesn't beg for anything. It's not some grand, overarching scheme of doctrine and dogma with rules and stipulations. It's one thing and one thing only: the disbelief in any deity. Some atheists do ascribe to the necessity for morals, this is true. To say that atheism is amoral opens up a whole other can of worms and begs numerous new questions such as, "Is the idea of atheism moral?" "Do morals become subjective under the umbrella of atheism?" and so on. Do not confuse terms here, please.
Locke Wrote:It states these morals are relative to the society, but every society that embraces these relative morals without a God concept devolves towards the stone age.
Again, atheism states no such thing, for it cannot. Not only that, where do you get off making a statement like this? Ever heard of the dark ages? That period was nothing but a huge God concept, and look where it got them. There is available evidence that directly contradicts your statement here on a grand scale. Care to back up your claim?
Locke Wrote:That, to me, is evidence of its failure.
You need to have real evidence first before you can make such a claim. Here, you have actually forged evidence based on your lack of evidence, and you are calling it real. I'd say you're almost as guilty as the freaks that start religion in the first place if this is exactly how you proceed in life. Could you please come off of Bullshit mountain and join the rest of the villagers down below that actually care about what's true?
Locke Wrote:Everything I'm saying right now was covered in my last post, so it seems to me you both replied without understanding my last post. Please make sure you understanf what I was saying.
This is an extreme level of arrogance to believe everyone on the forum will read and remember every little thing you write here. You need to get used to having to repeat yourself or to minimize some of the things you say. The key to being heard here is brevity and clarity. If you can master both of these concepts, you're going to do just fine.
