So as it says in the fairy tale, man should be smart enough to tell Yahweh to go screw himself whenever he says that he wants a person to do something evil.(May 24, 2018 at 5:29 pm)Wyrd of Gawd Wrote: Well, while Yahweh has supposedly killed billions of people he isn't technically a murderer because he is supposed to be God, which is a different creature. He would have to be human in order to be classified as a murderer. If you kill a chicken or a hog or a bug you aren't considered to be a murderer. The people who kill on his behalf are murderers. If you kill a cow in India the Hindi will kill you because you have killed their god, represented by the cow. It's like watching a gangster movie where the brainless thugs beat up and kill people without a second thought just because the crime boss tells them to do it. They themselves have nothing against their victims and all they will get out of it is a few bucks. Yet they are doing the most horrible acts because they are too stupid to separate themselves from the situation.  RE: Theists: how do you account for psychopaths?

Thanks for the replies everyone, very interesting
 There seems to be an array of reasons even among Christianity. I wonder if there is any kind of "official" stance? RE: Theists: how do you account for psychopaths?

That whatever the answer is, atheists are wrong about it, lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

By the time anyone noticed it was even a trend, Christianity had already splintered long past the point where any orthodoxy could be created. And I strongly suspect that many Christians will read your OP and reply "who cares? That's their problem."

Not preventing murder when you could is equal to murder .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

War is murder and we're getting ready to murder some North Koreans and Iranians just because our god (Trump) wants to do it. The guys doing the killing don't have any grudges against the people they are killing but they do it simply because their god (their national leader) tells them to do it. So when things like that happen aren't we all murderers because we did nothing to prevent it from happening?  RE: Theists: how do you account for psychopaths?

100% correct.
Nobody said life is sacred. (except for the salesmen). It's a commodity. Every evolved ape knows that. How we wish the world to be and how it is will always be are 2 very different beasts.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear. (May 25, 2018 at 2:45 am)Wyrd of Gawd Wrote:To a degree yes but i was talking about something more direct .
