America heading the wrong direction

[Couchpotato]

So, you can only have morals if you are religious? What a crock of shit.

You can’t justify morality or good without God.

 

[braalian]

But they should. That's we need to teach morals in our schools

Any parent who needs schools to teach their
Kids religion and morals must be a pretty shitty parent.

Teach it your self and let the schools teach stuff like reading, math and sports

The percentage of Americans who believe in God has fallen. We're not going to be a moral country if our belief system keeps faltering like this. I'm guessing liberals are leading the way in forming atheist organizations.

Americans’ belief in God, heaven at lowest point in 22 years, Gallup survey says

Just 59% of 18- to 34-year-olds in the U.S. say they believe in God, a prime factor in the overall belief in God falling from 90% in 2001 to 74% in May, a new Gallup poll shows.

The evangelical right is chasing people away from the church and God. The evangelical right can't stop themselves from preaching their politics instead of The Word.

When was it ever moral?

When it was founded by Christians.

 

[tahuyaman]

Yup. Believing bullshit makes you a good person

The USA is turning its back on God and that is the beginning of our decline.

It's the younger crowd that no longer desires to go to church. They let their hormones do their talking.

Young Voters are Obsessed with Sex

The lack of morals in America today could have an effect at the ballot box. I'm sure Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and others saw this day coming. New battle plans will have to be drawn. ---...three-quarters of 18- to 29-year-olds say abortion should generally be legal...---...

Yes secularism is taking over and religion is on the decline. Thankfully.

I said you can’t justify it. You posted someone’s opinion on why someone should be moral not even morality itself.

If I think torturing puppies is moral does that make it so?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

You can’t justify morality or good without God.

So, you need a god to tell you it is wrong to rape a woman?

You need the fear of eternal punishment to not cheat on your spouse?

Does the bible speak of torturing animals?

 

[Dadoalex]

No doubt an atheist thinks governments murdering 262 million of their own citizens could be justified.
You make my point for me.

Only an asshole thinks murdering people is justified.
THAT is your point, asshole.

Im saying you cant justify it. Without a standard of good it's all just a matter of opinion. Do you think Hitler thought he was evil? And if there is no standard why is wrong? Because you said so? Because I did? What if the Nazi's had won, would their killing of 6 million jews have been moral?

I didnt say you couldnt justify morality without the bible.

The only way to get the country on a winning course is to put Trump back in office. God will be watching!

Throwing bed wetters out of helicopters worked well in Chile.

Most of that justified by Religion.

Congrats, asshole. God hating Communists murdering hundreds of millions of their own citizens in the past century just because of their religious beliefs is all about what you asshole atheists stand for.

Yes.

• Genesis “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
• Proverbs “Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.”
