The Bible is a form of magical realism to teach morals and lessons.
Hunter Lee
Just to be clear OP, I agree with you and was lying, by giving an atheist impression
Jose Gutierrez
Atheists love to point out the burden of proof lies on the religious to try to prove their gods exist, yet they somehow ignore the burden of evidence on them whenever they chastise the religious for a breach of moral conduct.
Something as follows:
>religion does not make people automatically moral because the religious kill in the name of their religion >IE: killing in the name of religion is wrong >Why is it wrong? >Because you're denying people their right to life
Atheists can't prove people innately have any entitlement to life either. C H E C K M A T E A T H E I S T S

I wouldn't say I consider myself "very smart," because truth be told I don't know how smart I am. That's not something I'm in a position to measure without any inherent bias. However, I do consider myself more intelligent than you are.

Your God has created a universe where lions tear gazelles apart, where parasitic wasps paralyse their prey and injection their lava on them for them to eat from the inside out, where cats maul animals just to Roy with them.
If your God is all powerful then you are more ethical than your god, if he isn't all powerful then why call him a god?
Jayden Hughes
>there is a god
Well, it's equally likely that your interpretation of what a god is does in fact exist and equally likely that it doesn't, same goes for any other interpretation/version.
My question is, how the FUCK would you know? From your precious book? Really?
Please, you are better than that.

you can easily follow a morality based on logic i have rights that extend so far that they don't affect the rights of others therefore i can't kill not that fucking hard idiot
Justin Nguyen
>Argument to counter "sex is different from gender" faggots Sexuality and biology links into gender because biology has subtle control over the mind, the two "genders" exist as a breeding mechanism and selecting a mate much like some animals do, and it also helps up build up societies and social orders. This can be seen with how poorly developed places (almost stone-age tier places in africa and 4th worlders that haven't contacted the rest of the world) have the women 100% in the "normal" gender behavior. Anything different is literally fiction, they are pretending that they are asexual, queer or whatever, either because they felt down temporarily or are simply delusional.
Gay people are an anomaly though, but they don't serve any biological purpose and simply drag down the rest of society with them as dead weight, decreasing potential population growth.
Hudson Anderson
Morality is subjective, there's no reason to prove anything, according to your opinion, they are wrong, for example, you simply have to convince them. For me, i simply don't care about non-europeans above europeans, they are inconsequential and should fuck off, i don't care what it takes, it doesn't matter to us.

How is that logical? Your only justification for those set of morals are because it's what YOU feel is right. There is no logic behind subjective morality, just "muh feelings".

Spirituality is fine, arguing against science like a fucking baboon is not.
Joseph Turner
What do you perceive as truth? Empirically, the only things you can take as fact are what you experience, but even your experiences can be interpreted in many ways.
Faith, like anything, is never blind. You have the argument placed in front of you and you choose to believe it or not. Either that The Bible is the word of God, or not. No one can tell you what to believe and you can't force anyone to validate The Bible for themselves.

An atheist believing in FTL is just as bad as a creationist believing that evolution is wrong.

How far do you think technology is going to go and what physical concrete evidence do you base it on?
Like, what physical evidence supports the notion that we will ever live on another planet? Do you believe it regardless of anything concrete? Will you argue that your faith in technology is all the evidence you need? or will you refuge in anecdote and cite "trends" like a person saying the end of days are nigh?
Humans cannot be trusted around ideas they want to be true.
Dominic Nguyen

James Lee

Cooper Murphy
>> Do we agree that by our defintion god, is the greatest thing imaginable?
no, cause in some religions there are multiple Gods, so no, not the greatest thing imaginable
>But you, As an atheist, say that the greatest thing we could ever imagine is limited to our own imagination?
indeed
>Because we just agreed that things that exist have a higher quality than things that exist in our own imagination and therefore god must exist because he is the greatest thing we could imagine
i didnt agree to this, so your whole argument falls apart right there

Technology is probably going to collapse this century when the muds outbreed the whites and resources become too finite and there will never be a technological high point like this again because there isn't an abundant resource like oil to use in the same way next time.

There is no such thing as an innate right. Rights and civilization per se are constructs we make for the simple logic of convenience, nor do they stay the same throughout the span of time. You're pretty stupid.
Jack Miller
humans and lots of animals run on what is called altruism
The idea that you are nice to your neighbours cause you not only are less likely to feel the wrath of them if you do but they are more likely to HELP you in gathering resources
morals are a sticky issue; but what athiests dont like is how each religion states that THEY were the first one to come up with morals when they have basically existed since mankinds coming onto earth

Exactly. What we have today and for the past couple thousand years is an abomination to the evolutionary morals we've had embedded into our genes

Josiah Martinez
>What if the biggest members of our group think that I should have almost all that results from the labour of your work?
congratulations, you just invented the government
>What then of your morality?
look at all the governments around the world and their "morality"
but on par with individuals we are still altruistic
Jaxon Long
We've spent thousands of years genetically adapting to an agricultural model.
The people who selflessly shared their breeding stock and seed crop with those too retarded to not consume their own rapidly died out and their genes became less frequent.
Daniel Jackson
You've used an equivocation fallacy. That doesn't prove anything. Arguing about semantics may make you giddy, but it's not a profitable pastime.
Cooper Brown
If living in the modern world is genetically unnatural, and if being moral means being in tune with this evolutionarily embedded morality, then that means everything since that period, the modern world and everything that has developed during that time, should be according to you an amoral abomination
Cooper Flores
>but on par with individuals we are still altruistic
Not necessarily. Sometimes yes, sometimes no
It's more or less random nowadays, after we've given up on Christianity
