You can't even find a church and your beliefs are better than mine? Are you on the same high horse that Jesus rode?So you don't feel superior to me for believing in an invisible being from another dimension that nobody has ever seen?Fail... my argument is clearly that if a person has no concept of a God or Higher Power than themselves, then they can't logically have a problem with those things if they feel it benefits them, they could only logically conclude that "might is right", much like any animal, and therefore effectively renounce their "humanism".
So I don't see how human rights are compatible with atheism myself, atheism is essentially "law of the jungle".
And that is absolute bullshit. People can have compassion for their fellow man, empathy with other humans without any God. They can want what is best for others and help others without the threat of eternal damnation.
If you cannot empathize with others or feel compassion for your fellow man without being told to do so by someone claiming to represent God, there is something wrong with you.
And your attempts to claim that atheists are the ones committing the rapes and murders is laughable. How many young people have been molested by clergy? Representatives of the very religions you think will save us have ruined more young lives than atheism has ever thought of.
I would argue that it is far more moral to do the right thing simply because it is the right thing, rather than doing the right thing for fear of what may or may not happen to you after you die.
And I would argue that you're making life more difficult for no good reason, just so that you can feel superior.
No, Taz, I feel superior to you because I'm superior to you.
I also feel my beliefs are superior to your beliefs, but that's completely separate from me just being better than you.
