An objective morality would be valid for every person regardless of their cultural heritage, political attachment, or faith. Not only is biblical morality unable to offer objectivity, it cannot increase moral responsibility. A religious person must simply submit to whatever rules your God hands down. Believers naturally defend the bible by picking out just the “good” parts. But you could just as well pick out the “good” parts of any large body of literature, from sacred texts to secular novels. Picking through Shakespeare would serve just as well. Atheists can do this selecting from the world’s cultural resources too, and there is no evidence that atheists must be less moral than believers just because they think first. So don't point to the bible and claim morality. Read it instead and weep.

I am not in a different religious because I believe that the religions I am in is the best of the ones I"ve investigated. It also is accepting of whatever is good in those other religions, so I can adopt practices from those religions as well. All religions are different, but most popular ones agree on many things, not surprisingly. Truth is truth, and a deeper truth is a deeper truth. My own experience is that everyone has a religion, especially atheists. Did you know that in the famed Madelyn Murray O'Hair case, that eliminated faculty-led prayer from the public schools, the atheists bringing the suit insisted that atheism was a religion. Ironically Madelyn was murdered by other atheists, and her son, the subject of the suit, became a Christian in adulthood! So we can ask the same question of you, if you have chosen atheism as your religion, why aren't you in a different religion?

Religion involves some type of communal practice, or organized worship services, where certain ideas must be accepted (except your religion, where apparently anything goes), and your monetary contributions are expected.

@@jimd6641 Well, atheism IS a religion, because atheists insisted it was, and the Supreme Court ruled that it was. And you are doing the same hedging that modern atheists do all the time. You are saying that atheism is just non-belief in a deity. Non-belief due to lack of evidence is agnosticism. Atheism is defined as the BELIEF that there is no God. The way you describe it, your belief could change with better evidence. But many world religions have no god. Confucianism, Taoism, and Shinto among them. Your definition of my religious belief is wrong. Communal practices and organized worship practices are not a must for something to be a religion, Neither is the giving of contributions. And many non-religious groups require contributions....dues, for clubs, etc. I never said anything goes. I said most religions agree on many things, so I can identify with whatever is good about another religion. For instance, the Abrahamic religions all agree that Charity to the less fortunate is good. Buddhism agrees with Christianity about care for the environment. Atheism has not Pope. Well all but one religions has no Pope, so that is not a requirement for a religion, either. As an atheist, the more important question is, "What do YOU, personally, believe in, other than non-belief?"

I think both christian’s and atheists are so insufferable sometimes, how will we ever come to an agreement if we won’t hear each other out. Only way to truly convert someone is to have an open mind, answer truthfully, listen, be ready to be proven wrong and we might actually get somewhere. I’m an atheist and my friend is a recently turned christian and we discuss religion a lot, we’ve never had a single argument that landed in a bad way because we respect each others beliefs. My aim isn’t to convert him to atheism it’s too convert myself, I want to be proven wrong and know for sure god exists but so far i’m not convinced. I just simply answer and question him about things that bother me and he gives me his own answers to those and it’s really healthy and he’ll remain my best friend no matter what. I’m sorry you have to put up with atheists who always try to put down christian’s, it’s just as annoying as christian’s who are ignorant.

Well, according to relative morality it's not inherently wrong to lack empathy or insult others. So if you're an atheist, you better be one that believes in objective morality, like Sam Harris. Like I've said before, relative morality has so many pitfalls to dodge it's just as bad or even worse than all the pitfalls present in claims of ridiculous supernatural magic. Might as well be a nihilist than a moral relativist, unless you want to spend all you time patching up bad arguments.

at 8 years old I had been sent to Sunday school every sunday.

Not sure if Nana was happy, don't think she knew.

I disagree. Mr Hitchens, and others like him, seems hellbent on propagating his atheistic views on others, and foisting upon others his limited beliefs. It is possible to conclude that atheists are trying to create their own movement, which can have an effect on the politico-socio landscape. Atheism will soon become a pseudo religion, with Science as its god.

At the age of 12 I realized my moral compass was internally controlled and had nothing to do with the weekly religion that I was taught. The stories I learned were interesting, but were so mystical and magical that they made no sense to my youthful mind, so I suspended embracing religion and sought out why every culture chose these failed types of stories to rule and control the masses.

@@bigears5809 Stalin killed to maintain power, but the mechanism he used, and the training he received in how to wield the levers of power so brutally were provided by the church. Stalin trained to be a priest, and what power-crazed dictator wouldn't eagerly seize on the control over the peasants offered by a thousand years of subservience to the priesthood. Hitler was a Catholic who followed the road map provided by renegade Catholic priest Martin Luther when carrying out persecution and extermination of millions of Jews for the "crime" of being Jews. Most of those who died under Mao's rule died because Mao was a city boy who understood nothing of agriculture, or of basic economics. The war on sparrows led to insect eating birds being killed and a massive increase in the insect population causing failure of the wind pollenated grain harvest which was eaten by insects, leading to famine. That famine was exacerbated by attempting to build a massive steel industry from nothing in too short a time, pulling farm workers from the fields to work in foundries. So your best examples of "Atheist genocides" are a failed priest using the obedience instilled by the church, a Christian carrying out the plan set out by another Christian, and an idiot with good intentions.

Seems like criminals use swearing to the deity as their defence.

Desires with all my heart to follow God, to love him, keep his commandments, etc. But none of it was an experience that was rooted outside of myself - it was an experience I had deluded myself into thinking I was having. I left religion - not because "religion hurt me", or "the church hurt me" or whatever stereotype - but because I began to read and learn about science, world history, philosophy, etc. And no, I didn't just blindly accept the contrary argument, I investigated them and compared their reasoning. Very little about religion makes sense - and there is every reason to believe it is a tool by bronze age leaders to keep society under control. There was (and maybe still is) a utility in that. But don't delude yourself into thinking that utility equates an intrinsic reality. I have strong convictions about ethics - I have developed that with reason, not with belief. Unless someone's neurology is significantly impaired, there is a human aspect to us that senses ethical codes of conduct towards each other and ourselves.

He probably just caulked it up to blasphemy and continued on in his church, probably spending a lot of time in the confession booth that Sunday and gave a lot of tithings in a offering plate (which is the churches main source of income and says that you have to give 10% of your income). And attended lots of pray service to reaffirm his faith. A vast majority of religious people are not open to outside criticism of their religion. A vast majority of ultra religious people either grew up in a strict religious household or are trying to atone for something they did in the past (even if it was not wrong at the time) or use it as a crutch to either keep themselves from doing something they used to do that was destructive to themselves or others or show to others that they are better people now (drugs or crime). Most people become religious at the very worst times of their lives (no atheists in a foxhole theory). Few convert when life is going great, though when the bad times end, they will claim it was a reward from their religion and they stay religious on the fear that if they leave their religion the bad times will return.

but why they reject science while living dependent on it... it's the ultimate irony of hoomans

Before that were the primitive mammals first seen millions of years ago, which came from some other mammal-like creature. But at the start of it all, we were all just protobacteria, which is more or less a nerdy term for ancient germs. This small creature was only possible because of the Earth going through multitudes of traumas like being hit by meteors and of the like. This happened over 2 billion years ago, about 11 billion years after the initial birth of the universe, or at least what is estimated to have been.

@@ShwappaJ Then where's all the half monkeys and half humans. By your "theory" monkeys shouldn't exist anymore. Stop believing government funded "Scientists" and "teachers". Be honest you don't KNOW anything for sure. Instead You Believe You know because You are invested in that knowledge. The antithesis of thought and probabilities means you're almost certainly wrong. In fact you are more likely to win the lottery everyday for the rest of your life than the possibility that you could be right by doing literally no research or thought I'd your own! You think believing in a big bang created by nothing. That sounds more insane than believing in a creator. Something had to create the conditions for the big bang. Nothing can't create everything. The theory of evolution is only a theory to figure out how many citizens will believe such craziness just because someone of authority told them so. I'll Believe what the majority of all humans who've ever lived believe over a theory anyday. "Scientists" used to say the earth was flat too.

Rational thinking, evidence based Atheists, make religion out to be such abusurd, divisive, deluded nonsense. Thankfully I've been a staunch,outspoken Atheist my entire life .

life is a learning process You believe DNA just happens over time. You are very foolish. DNA is a code of information. That information doesn't arise out of chance and time. You have more faith than I do.

Ronnie D yawn, same tired thing apologists have said for decades in defense of their obvious mythical beliefs. Thousands of gods and religions, but you picked the right one and the billions that have lived and died before you and never heard the word of sweet jesus can go straight to hell. As if humans are the only intelligent life in earth, you realize pigs and whales have the exact same DNA as we do, and they exhibit behavior that shows an awareness of family and even ethical “moral” behavior. But right we’re the ones made in God’s perfect image animals are all going to hell too, and so are microorganisms. You know those creatures your almighty god didn’t give us domain over, as has been evidenced in epidemics and pathogens like the Black Plague that was not delivered by a vengeful god to condemn their wickedness, as the clergy doubtlessly preached at the time, but because of sewage getting into the drinking water. Did rationality come from nature? Yes! We came from nature and we invented rationality, it’s all man made, like the language you and I are speaking in is man made, like the Koran and Book of Mormon and the Bible were all man made, It actually makes a lot of sense if you stop buying the same fairytale magical horseshit you’ve been spoon-fed since infancy.

Ronnie D: Do me a favour; take a few University courses in Molecular Biology, Organic Chemistry, Genetics, and Evolutionary Biology ... get your heard of "Humpty-Dumpty in the clouds made the universe by magic." We've graduated from 1st century ignorance decades ago. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK6360/ Have a listen my friend: you remind me of this caller. kzread.info/dash/bejne/h4p1vJWzY7XQkpM.html

Wow, my brain likes to have Hitchens take it for a ride. So many layers of coordination, such skill at instant organisation of thoughts

I love these Quotes! Probably will use them in future discussions
