10 Commandments for Atheists

He also said

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people.

So you must agree with that too right?
Do you actually understand what he meant by that? I suggest you do a little research on it. Because he didn't mean what you think he meant by that.

But yes, I agree with his basis for that statement. Which is that life is hard and religion gave people comfort from their hard lives.
 
That doesn't make them my company. Only a low IQ moron or desperate attention seeker would think that fallacy is valid.

Ah, I see the next attention seeking post . I guess that answers that.
That you can't see that you dehumanize certain human lives only means that you know it is wrong to do so. And the only reason you can't see that you are doing it is because you need to rationalize that you aren't doing wrong.

Adam, did you eat the apple?
The woman you made gave it to me.

See? No, different than what Adam did.

Man knows right from wrong and when he violates it rather than abandoning the concept he rationalizes he didn't violate it. What more proof do you need for the existence of God than your own fucked up rationalizations.
 
It would be so much more honest to just admit you support doing something that is wrong than to argue you aren't.
 
Incorrect. There is nothing out of context. Marx believed that removing God from society would lead to communism. That was exactly his plan.
That's overstated nonsense for someone who has obviously not read Marx and has only read soundbytes.

But i don't care either way. Have whatever opinion you want of Marx.

And commit your fallacies in defining or criticizing humanism. It's far superior ethically and morally to anything found on the immoral turd that is the Bible. And it will remain so after this thread is forgotten.

Maybe you should actually read his works. My opinion is about how similar your views are to his.

Human Requirements and Division of Labour, Marx, 1844
 
Adam is the allegorical representation for when men first became self aware.
Haha, no it isn't. No illiterate, ignorant fool from that time had any sense of the evolution of human beings. This is just a typical apologist attempt to retrofit the ancient myth to newfound knowledge.
 
No. That was actually a very simple question followed by a very simple answer. How was it misleading?
Because it was an acknowledgement of fact of the human condition. Humanists are not afraid to speak frankly, we aren't putting on an act for a celestial dictator.

Yes, if I had my druthers, all human life would be as important as all other human life. But again, secular humanists generally don't live in fantasyland.

The subject wasn't evolution. The subject was man's knowledge of good and evil.

The development of sentience in our ancestors absolutely requires and is the topic of evolution.

No illiterate fool that made up these myths had any knowledge allowing them to craft the allegory you just made up out of thin air.

Apologist nonsense.
 
I have. You have not. Thanks for the link you didn't read.
If you had you wouldn't be arguing that Marx didn't mean that communism is naturalized humanism when he wrote that communism is naturalized humanism.

Here's what Shafarevich had to say about Marx's belief...

"...As humanism in its development became more and more materialistic, it made itself increasingly accessible to speculation and manipulation by socialism and then by communism. So that Karl Marx was able to say that "communism is naturalized humanism."
This statement turned out not to be entirely senseless. One does see the same stones in the foundations of a despiritualized humanism and of any type of socialism: endless materialism; freedom from religion and religious responsibility, which under communist regimes reach the stage of anti-religious dictatorships; concentration on social structures with a seemingly scientific approach. This is typical of the Enlightenment in the 18th Century and of Marxism. Not by coincidence all of communism's meaningless pledges and oaths are about Man, with a capital M, and his earthly happiness. At first glance it seems an ugly parallel: common traits in the thinking and way of life of today's West and today's East? But such is the logic of materialistic development..."

Again... Adam is an allegorical representation of the first humans who became self aware. I don't really care if you believe this or not. That's the reality. Ignore it if you want. It won't change reality.
 
If you had you wouldn't be arguing that Marx didn't mean that communism is naturalized humanism when he wrote that communism is naturalized humanism.
Ii didn't. I sa you overstate it out of context and commit a stupid fallacy to try to characterize humanism.

Both facts.

Now go ahead and scramble to find new reasons on Google why you took your position long ago. Intellectual fraud on parade.

Yes, I am aware that you made that up in a desperate apologist effort to retrofit your newfound knowledge to your fetish myths.

Your one on a long line of such apologists.
