God, country, family. All of these are necessary components to create and sustain a successful and thriving society. Take away one, and the whole thing crumbles.
Atheism plays a large role in the destruction of western civilization. It is one of the root causes for the degeneracy and overall moral decline we see today.
It all stems from the fact that atheism is incompatible with moral absolutism, which makes it possible to morally rationalize any action (i.e. moral relativism), as can be seen with the LGBTQ movement. This acronym is constantly evolving (currently at LGBTQQIP2SAA if I'm not mistaken), and I believe it's just a matter of time before pedophilia and bestiality are integrated as well (in-before muh slippery slope).
I expect some people to challenge the notion that atheism is incompatible with moral absolutism. I've had this debate before, and they usually resort to: "It's in our biology. A product of evolution that is innate in all humans. Empathy." The problem with this argument is that it begets the question: Whose "biology" are we talking about? People seem to have different concepts of what is wrong and what isn't. Who is right? What society? Not to mention that it's irrational and quite frankly intellectually dishonest to assume that there is an ultimate standard of right and wrong that supersedes mere fanciful "ideas" about what is right and wrong at a given time in our ethical evolution.
Why can't atheists understand this?

OP, your photo is based very heavily on speculation. All you can know for sure about an atheist is that he doesn't believe in any kind of god. Regarding what you wrote...
>God, country, family. All of these are necessary
I mostly agree.
>Atheism plays a large role in the destruction of western civilization
Here you fail to distinguish between a genuine earnest lack of belief in god(s) and simply branding yourself something because it's trendy. In all honest, most atheists probably just are atheists because it's trendy.
>atheism is incompatible with moral absolutism
Right and wrong is determined by a culture not a religion. Additionally, it's a stretch to say that a lack of belief in god means more than just a lack of belief in god.

For people nowadays to understand what you are trying to say, they need to read meditate and understand the works of Thomas aquianus and tie it with a comprehensive knowledge of history. But most people can't and won't do that because they can't perform the mental gymnastics. The pride that envelopes the atheist prevents him from understanding the doctrine of the fall and everything that follows. But we can hope that some will be converted

The picture demonstrates how it's irrational for the atheist to risk is own life in order to save the drowning person. Of course there are atheists who will still save the person, but it's irrational in a godless world because your own survival is far more important than somebody else's. >Here you fail to distinguish between a genuine earnest lack of belief in god(s) and simply branding yourself something because it's trendy.

Still, they are calling themselves atheists so that's how I will refer to them. >Right and wrong is determined by a culture not a religion Did you even read the OP? Can pedophilia be both right and wrong? No, it can't. That's a contradiction, and contradictions are illogical. It's either right or wrong, or neither. You need an absolute moral authority (i.e. an objective judge) to determine what's right and wrong because otherwise it just boils down to opinion and is essentially meaningless. >Additionally, it's a stretch to say that a lack of belief in god means more than just a lack of belief in god.

Muh Lord, muh vassals, muh son and heir to muh throne and all that shiat. Didn't answer the question. Whose biology is the standard? Since that's what you atheists so often use as a form of argument. "It's a biologically ingrained hing". Whose biology determines what's right and wrong? Like I said previously, two contradictory claims can't both the true, since that's illogical.

1. The image "demonstrates" absolutely nothing. It's a non-scientific, hypothetical scenario.
2. Your problem.
3. Paedophilia is a-okay in nigger tier places like the Mid East and Africa, and definitely not okay in civilized areas, so no, it can't be both right and wrong IN THE SAME PLACE. And in regards to your absolute moral authority spiel. What would a protestant country know about that? And what would a mortal man such as the pope know about it. The bible addresses many legal issues, though not everything. When there are issues that it fails to address, then to whom or to what do we turn?
4. Again, if all I tell you is that I am an atheist, then try to prove anything beyond me not believing in a god. It's simply impossible.

Because you said so? We're not talking about laws here, we're talking about morality. > it can't be both right and wrong IN THE SAME PLACE. So something can be morally right if I'm in a different geographical location? I think you are referring to norms and laws, not morality. Something can't be both morally right and wrong, that's contradictory, and consequently illogical. >What would a protestant country know about that? And what would a mortal man such as the pope know about it. The bible addresses many legal issues, though not everything. When there are issues that it fails to address, then to whom or to what do we turn? You fail to understand that there's still a basis for absolute morality when it comes to theism because of the absolute moral authority (i.e. God). Whether or not there are conflicting ideas about what the correct morals are is irrelevant. Atheism has no basis whatsoever.

You obviously didn't understand the OP. Theism has a basis for absolute morality due to the absolute moral authority (i.e. God). Atheism doesn't. I never said that biblical morals are the correct ones, that's impossible to know. I believe they are however. That's called faith.

In a way you have a point, though, the lower-IQ proles will destroy themselves without things like religion to keep them in line.
They're just too fucking stupid to make good decisions or behave themselves, it's the same reason that liberal "elite" policies end up not working despite being well meaning. The makers of the policies literally cannot think like the idiots they're trying to help.
For instance,
Ideal: >It would be good to legalize marijuana. I've used it responsibly, it should work fine. Reality: >Tons of idiots sitting around getting stoned all day and doing nothing with their lives.
Ideal: >We should try to take care of everyone with welfare. I know if I was poor, I would be happy for the help and would try to be employed again as soon as possible. Reality: >Time to sit at home and pump out kids
This is why population-controlling shit like religion is needed.

to say nothing of the fallacy of many questions

was spot-on
>Something can't be both morally right and wrong
morality is subjective specific and slightly (to greatly) different to ever single person
>You fail to understand that there's still a basis for absolute morality
nope, morality, from whatever source, is only as "high" or as "enlightened" as each given mind (angel or demon or man) chooses to weigh it, or not
Mason Taylor
>Theism has a basis for absolute morality due to the absolute moral authority (i.e. God). Atheism doesn't.
so what makes it absolute or "better" in anyway?
Joseph Watson
Craziness is now objectively relative nowadays People believe the gay shit is crazy, now it's acceptable. If that is what the Darwinist believe, then let it be.
Christianity is basically based on the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. You know the typical consensus of "give to the poor" and etc,

Christopher Young
1. It's not even philosophical. It has no basis at all for its claims.
2. Define hung up.
3. Why? I don't know. I can't delve into the peabrain of an Arab and figure out why he behaves the way he does. And it's not okay in civilized areas, because laws, which are often a reflection of cultural beliefs in an area prohibit it. In the United States, freedom is very important, when I rape someone, I am violating their freedom to choose not to have intercourse with me.
4. Correct. I'm referring to exactly what I said I was referring to. Something cannot be both morally right and wrong in the same place. However, depending upon what culture your in, certain actions, for example Mayan Human sacrifice could be outright encouraged because they are perceived IN THAT AREA, as being good, wheres we know that those things are wrong.
5. Just answer the questions.

Different person here. The imagine shows nothing because it's literally just fiction, not a philosophical demonstration of the immorality of atheists.
The atheist's reaction in the image is written so that he's purely selfish and self motivated, and as if atheists are so mechanical that they think a human being is justified because of Darwinism or some shit. It's a strawman. No one actually thinks like that, it's just easier to attack; writing a fictional scenario where an atheist is immoral is a poor argument that all atheists are immoral.

Facts are absolute, and if you hold specific values like the right to life (among other natural rights), then logic determines right and wrong (i.e. does this action infringe upon another person's rights) Moral relativism is destructive, but all it really says is that if someone has fundamentally different values, then different actions can be considered moral. The US in particular is founded upon the idea that we all have rights that are inherent to us, and the government's purpose is to protect those rights. If we all agree on that, then I don't see how atheism can be destructive. you seem to have this idea that people can't have principles without belief in a god
