I didn't mention anything about a god, I spoke specifically about whatever god's worshippers.

Take yourself, for example. You've already accused us of being 'sinners' based on nothing more than an arbitrary label of someone who lacks a belief in deities. "Let he who is without sin..." And all that.

Well, as a Christian, I can compare humans to an objective moral standard, and every human has sinned. I am not saying Christians are better or worse than non Christians. Not at all, rather, we have all sinned when comparing humans to an objective standard.

Quote:Bracketing out for a second the idea of a sin (which I find silly and nonsensical), what you've done is actually reinforce the notion that believers tend to automatically chastise atheists/ theists of other religions by the supposed vice of not adhering to said believer's actual beliefs.

No, the OP is pretty clear.

So really, you just answered your own question. 

Quote:You're describing what a non-descript being has supposedly 'done', not what it 'is'. I don't recall all the roman gods having created the universe, neither have all the Hindu gods been given that attribute. You certainly haven't displayed any moral goodness (???????) so far on this thread. Remember when you accused people who don't believe in the same things as you as being sinners (based on your own beliefs)?

That is why all the polytheistic religions (Thor, Zeus etc etc ) are a non competing hypothesis. I would also add all the "Omni's"

Quote:To prove a point, I created the universe. Disprove it.

Well, when the universe began to exist, space, time and matter began to exist. That means, prior to the universe, space, time and matter didn't exist. You compose of matter, and bounded by space and time, therefore, you couldn't have been the cause.

Quote:I think the more intriguing consideration is that neither an abundance nor a lack of religious belief seems to have curbed the bloodthirsty attitudes and actions of men, organizations, societies, and nations in the past. If there really was a god, wouldn't there be a much clearer dividing line between the way men acted when they believed in him, and how the acted when they didn't? It's almost as if religious belief didn't matter, one way or another. Hey, religion! Nice job bringing all of humanity together in brotherhood and love for the past few thousand years!

Well, we all have free will. Some people use religion for good, and unfortunately a lot use it for evil. That is why I shy away from the actions of people to determine if something is right or wrong. Rather, look at the doctrine.

Unfortunately man has used religion for satisfy their own evil purposes and agendas. Again, I suggest you look at the doctrine rather than the actions of men.

If God doesn't exist, what is evil? The way you define it or the way another person defines it. If you are an Atheist, at least give views that are consistent with your belief.

Nothing to see here, keep moving.

Funny how children's bibles never depict Lot fucking his daughters.

Are you for homosexuality? If so, why are you against incest? After all , people cannot choose their sexual orientation, so why discriminate against people who they are sexually attracted to? Arent homosexuals the same? That is, they do not choose their sexual preference? The other 2, well, shows you have not studied or understood Christian doctrine.

Why do the police spend so much time talking about crime?

Why does an oncologist spend so much time studying cancer?

What do all of these have in common? Yup, all are a type of disease.

Crime exists, cancer exists, God exists?

Evolution has a goal? Strategic planning as well?
