Religion and Ethics?

[Feeding Crows]

You cannot have ethics, and believe in a religion. I have to repeat that because it is true. Ethics and Religion are separate concepts.

Seriously? That's not the way it actually rolled.

Huh? I realize you’re anti-religion (a liberal, are you?), but of course that‘s “how it rolls.” my religion teaches excellent values.

They are intertwined.

No they're not Lisa. How do you justify the horrors that your ancestors committed to make you Christian?

 

[Feeding Crows]

Do you have any idea, of the murders and rapes that occurred, so that you eventually got born and believe in that bullshit?!?

And that's why you believe your religion. You were forced to. You didn't choose it....

Incorrect. You are the one who has no choice because your disdain for religion controls you.

What have atheists - as a group - done to make the world better?

Who says I’m a Christian?

My religion teaches excellent values. In fact, these values - otherwise known as commandments, of which there are 613 - are the backbone of Judaism.

Religion and Ethics are two separate things Anyone who believes in religion, has no ethics.

You have no ethics because you condone the killing of others that don't believe as you do.

That's a hard eye you have there. The only person you are harming is yourself.

Actually it is you who is attacking others that don't believe as you do.

WOW! The liberal gives a blanket condemnation for anyone who follows a religion.

How tolerant these liberals are.

The data overwhelmingly shows that man is a spiritual being. It is for good reason that David Foster Wallace said that we all worship something and the only choice in the matter is what we choose to worship. We are literally hardwired for it. Throughout history every society has overwhelmingly held the belief that man is more than just matter and that there is a higher power than man. When we look at the data today we see that more and more people are rejecting organized religion but have not abandoned their belief that they are more than just matter or that there is a force which connects or binds us all. From the atheist's vantage point these beliefs exist because of evolutionary forces. But the reality is that even that argument confirms that spirituality offers a functional advantage over materialism. According to natural selection there are two main components; functional advantage and transfer of functional advantage to the next generation. So even natural selection confirms that spirituality is a behavior which leads to success. Otherwise, according to natural selection, it would have been abandoned long ago. As mankind has gained more and more knowledge of his natural surroundings his desire for spirituality has not diminished. In fact, the more materialistic we became the less satisfied we became.

Double WOW! When did I ever condone killing others?

You’re losing your argument badly and you are devoling into revealing your true colors: hate for anyone who doesn’t believe as you do. This is how I know you’re a liberal.

You erased your post Lisa... And are trying to turn it around on me.

I like that

That's why you have to have faith

If you truly had faith you wouldn't be behaving this way.

 

[Feeding Crows]

You have no ethics. So shut the fuck up.

You must believe in some santa religion.

You have no ethics. So shut the fuck up.

Other people's religion shouldn't make you this angry.

So what is really bothering you?

I need erased a post. You just said I condoned killing people - ans that’s because liberals like you hate those who follow a religion.

You’re getting nastier by the post.
