Morality

It's scary really, thank gawd for the mods who stop the obvious trolls like you from shitting all over the forums.

So you're saying Doctor William Lane Craig is just a "troll"?

Yep, if he indeed says inanely stupid shit like this:

As William Lane Craig says without an absolute authority in the universe atheists have no reason to follow any set line of morals.

Why some of you god botherers have such a hardon for the man is a mystery.

It's scary really, thank God for the police and the law stopping countless Godless people from doing heinous things.

So basically it's good to follow a set line of morals so you won't go to hell!
What a wonderful reason to be a good person!

We need more people like him to do our job for us!

Now I know you're a poe.

As a whole, from my personal experience, I would say that atheists are generally more moral the theists.

I've encountered many theists who have stated that if there wasn't a god (in their belief) and a fear of going to hell they'd likely be out raping and murdering.

Isn't it scary that the only thing keeping many of them in check is the belief in an imaginary being and fear of eternal punishment, instead of basic decency and empathy for their fellow humans . . .

I can't speak for anyone else of course, but I don't need any kind of law enforcement agency to make me not do "heinous things". I simply don't want to do them. I'm not wired that way. I can't even process the thought of my doing such things.

Mind you, it all hinges on the definition of "heinous things". Rape, murder, slavery etc - all the things actually commanded or condoned in that evil book - I can accept those into the definition. The other stuff that this "absolute authority" thinks is more important to prohibit instead (making graven images, using banned words in vain, not setting aside a special magic day) not so much.

It's scary really, thank God for the Christian's belief in an omnipresent, invisible super-cop stopping countless Christians from doing heinous things.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, Chucklefuck. Next time, try an argument that doesn't make your side look even worse than the one you're attacking.

Yeah, one would think that after the debate discussed in this video:





Where one of the scientific theories that Craig pays lip service to is proven not to say what he claims it says, by one of the writers of the original theorem, and Craig... continues to believe that it says what he wants it to say, that all his credibility would have drained out through his feet.

But then, confirmation bias is strong enough to power the majority of christian arguments, I'm sure it can cover for another pious fraud.
