That is a great saying. I love that. I am not religious. I was a Christian as a teenager, then I took acid one night and became a atheist overnight. It was wild. 6 years after that though God revealed himself to me in a powerful way, such that I could no longer be an atheist. No acid this time. Meeting God was many times more powerful than that. How do I know it was God? Good question, glad you asked. Well, I am a limited being in a relative universe. I am incapable of obtaining, containing or communicating absolute, undeniable certainty. Right? We always have to be honest and leave room for doubt, for the fact that we might be wrong. Our perspective might be skewed somehow, maybe we are hallucinating, although hallucinations are seeing distortion of what is there, not seeing what isn't there. Anyway, God, who is an absolute, self-atesting being, is able to convey certainty. So, because it was God, I know it was God. Fun times. Now I get to be a Christian again. Yay, go me. That was all 25 years ago.

How can we say that something is truly good unless it achieves it creators intent? Likewise, how can we say that something is truly evil unless it fails to achieve its creators purpose?

It is detrimental to the adult psych to be told and accept that we are corrupt beings and without certain, specific beliefs we will burn in hell for eternity. That the reason we suffer is because the universe creator doesn't like us unless we bow and scrape and believe without question. To a child's psych it can be shattering. Young children are still creating their minds and to have it broken by this abuse is unforgivable. To be taught from a young age that you are born bad is a terrible thing. You form your morality to understand how to behave then someone comes along and tells you wrong is right and right is wrong is traumatic. And instead of getting help for that trauma, it is reinforced for the rest of your life.

Because God was created by evil and/or stupid men, the Bible actually teaches us that evil is good. Read the Bible to learn of the evil things your God allegedly did and or ordered humans to do. Here are some examples: How wicked is a new born baby, so many of whom God murdered in the flood? Surely the most evil action in Earth’s factual and/or fictional history is the drowning of millions of people and animals - including their new born children, who could not possibly have offended God. God allegedly instructed Joshua to enter Jericho and kill every man, woman and child. He further instructed the Israelites to kill every man, woman, child and suckling plus their innocent animals if they found one person in any village, town or city who did not worship him. Did 40 children deserve to be mauled to death by a bear for calling a prophet baldy? Well God thought so, which is why he allegedly ordered the bear to carry out that massacre. After forcing Pharaoh to not free the Israelites (by harding his heart), God chose to punish the Egyptians by killing their first born children - because Pharaoh diid what God had forced him to do. Not only is that an example of evil injustice and infanticide, but it is an example of absolute stupidity. Even after Pharaoh had agreed to free the slaves, God stopped him by supernatural force - and then punished other peoples' children because Pharaoh carried out God's will against Pharaoh’s will. God instructs that a man should have his bride killed after discovering she is not a virgin. Which is the greater sin, sex before marriage or murder? According to the Bible, murder is not only a lesser sin - but a necessary instrument of justice against the monstrous sin of sex before marriage. How ridiculously evil is that? In Psalm 135 verse 9 God gives his advice on achieving happiness as “Happy is he who dashes an infant against a rock”. So, according to the Bible, if you wish to be happy, dash an infant against a stone or rock. I could go on about approval of slavery (including selling children as sex slaves), child sacrifice as a thanks to God for helping win battles, having One's son killed for coming home drunk, killing children for lack of respect for their parents (even if the parents were child abusers or murderers), eating of babies...etcetera… These are certainly not MY morals and should not the morals of a good god. These examples are among the reasons why I, who nearly became a priest, am an Atheist - and happier for it. Finally, how can a moral person worship a god who boasts about how he created evil in Isaiah 45/7? Considering this and a multiplicity of other evidence, I have to conclude that to worship God is to worship evil. So I would rather believe in no god than an evil god, because then I would be worshipping evil.

"In his famous dialogue between Socrates and Euthyphro, a philosophical quandary is posed thusly: *“Is what is morally good commanded by God because it is morally good, or is it morally good because it is commanded by God?” Known as the Euthyphro Dilemma, the problem boils down to this:* ***If something is morally good simply because it is commanded by God, then morality is arbitrary. God could decide tomorrow that murder and rape are morally acceptable, and voilà, it would be.*** *On the other hand, if God commands what is already morally good, then morality exists independently of God. He is not the source or creator of morality, not the one who determines right from wrong, but merely one who dispenses a system of ethics that transcends his own authority.* In response, theists attempt to wiggle their way out of the dilemma by suggesting that God’s very nature, or character, is good, so that he would never condone such wicked acts as rape or murder. But then all one has to do is reformulate the question, à la philosopher Michael Martin: “Is God’s character the way it is because it is good, or is God’s character good simply because it is God’s character?” The dilemma stands, as God’s character remains subject to an external definition of what is moral or good. *Why is this? It’s because morality is an abstraction, or social contract, produced collectively by sentient beings, and to which all sentient beings are subject. And it’s something that naturally arises on a pragmatic basis for the sake of order and harmony within any civilized society. God, therefore, is neither the source of morality, nor a necessary explanation for its existence.* *But imagine for a moment the sheer absurdity of suggesting that the biblical God is the supreme author of morality.* A God who demands the extermination of men, women, and children (1 Sam. 15:1-3), who delights in the retaliatory act of seizing infants and dashing them against rocks (Ps. 137:8-9), of raping the wives of Israel’s enemies (Is. 13:16), even orchestrating the brutal death of dozens of children by savage bears, merely for having mocked one of his prophets (2 Kgs. 2:23-24). *This is a ferociously partisan, bloodthirsty, and vengeful deity, not one bound by any high-minded or all-encompassing moral code.* Theists will typically defend such verses in one of three ways: 1) by suggesting that “those were different times,” thus invoking moral relativism and destroying their own case for an objective morality stemming from God; 2) by appealing to context, of which there simply isn’t any to justify the depravity above; and 3) by pleading, “that was the Old Testament,” or, “Jesus changed all that,” tacitly admitting that the God they ostensibly worship was once horrible and in need of change, which further contradicts any claims to the immutable and unchanging character of God (e.g., Mal. 3:6; Heb. 13:8; Jm. 1:17). *Suffice it to say, neither God nor the Bible serve as the basis for morality."* *"Is God Necessary for Morality? | atheologica"* --------------------------------------------------------- Also look up: *"God is the Source of Morality. (Not.) | atheologica"* *"Morals Don't Come From God: For This I Know Because the Bible Tells Me So"* - Dr Steven DiMattei. *"Secular Societies Fare Better Than Religious Societies | Psychology Today"*

It is old luggage we carried along from fear of the unknown.

It's always been ridiculous that religious people think that atheism creates bad people as if all the bad things that are done in the world are done by people without religion. In fact some of the worst things to have ever been done in human history are centered around religion. Atheists tend to believe in being a good person just for the sake of being a good person, because being a bad person makes life hard. Religious people are telling you that without religion they would be awful people because they would have no promise of reward for being good. And that explains quite a bit about why the most heinous acts committed by humans have been done in the name of religion. When people believe that bad deeds are good if they're done out of faith and that they'll be forgiven if they repent they're capable of some terrible shit

Organized religion is hierarchical, i.e., based on a top-down power structure. When doctrine became more important than human lives, the power mongers took the God business to the dark side by using immoral behavior to punish rule breakers. When self-righteous minds wish to punish their enemies, cruelty and revenge becomes the message of choice.

Religion is man made where ONE individual claims only he knows God and you must come to him but one’s beliefs in God is an individual choice. So believe or don’t.

I am an atheist and I dont even like to think of rape, murder, abuse or even imposing upon another human being or animal. I feel guilt for being an omnivore. Living off other thinking and feeling creatures. This idea that without the horid morality of religion everyone would be amoral monsters is a symptom of an incredibly sick dynamic. To convince that we are beings born sick and would devolve into horrific acts without a morality that supports slavery and genocide. Even putting the immoral morality of religion aside, it tells its adherents that they are less moral by nature than animals who kill to eat. That they, without the word of their imaginary friend would do horrible things like rape, murder, genocide and slavery. It is absolutely hypocritical for a faith to do this. Without the massive indoctrinal techniques learned over millennia, no one would be able to believe this. And worst of all the pandemic of unresolved trauma and indoctrinational trauma that opens the minds of people to this truly sick distortion of reality.

But God created everything, or not?

Neitzsche said, "God is dead-we have buried Him." Sam Harris, RichRd Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens say, "God is dead, Scince had buried Him." Either way, humanity is now freed from the tyranny of a mulythical non-existant punisher of evil deeds, and no standards exists above those standards humans, and humans alone, choose. Humanity is now the ultimate arbiter of morality. Every society is free to design and enforce its own codes of what is and is not acceptable. Each society is now free from any standard of ethics based on Imago Dei, a fanciful notion that leaders have any need to respect the sovereignty or sanctity of individuals. For humanity to advance, the wasteful expenditures of individuals on consumer goods simply because a good is desirable has led humanity to damaging rhe environment to its breaking point. For humanity to advance, humans must be forced to be responsible for their carbon emissions, waste generation, and have thrir number of offspring curtailed by governments rather than let any couple simply decide that tbey want, to have more than two children. China is now the shining example of the future of humanity without any God or gods. Their leaders understand that the State is wiser than the emotional drives or desires of its individual mrmbers. The State is now freed from any standards of right and wrong, good and evil , which were formerly attached to the sanctity of the individual by some sort of "being created Equal by a God," by thinkers during the Emlightenment How ridiculous. Every society is now free to define what works best for itself. It is clear that the radical individual freedom of "persons" which the concept of Imago Dei, and free market capitalism only leads to induvidual poverty, homelessness, individuals free to refuse treatment for substance abuse or multi- drug resistant TB, crime, trash -strewn streets, graffitti in Railway terminals. The path forward is the end of this freedom for the greater good of all. The religious must be segregated, re-educated, or used as organ donors for those in need, as the Falun Gong are, if they will not give up their subversive beliefs in human worth assignned by a god, not by society. The Enlightenment is over. The true path of a humanity liberated from old standards of right and wrong is the only path forward.

Your never gonna see a monkey kill another monkey and feel bad about it, you won't see a bear kill another Bear and cry about it no animal is gonna do that ever.

Otherwise no man defined what's good and bad because it never existed in the first place and it doesn't just pop up in someone's head all the sudden because it's not natural. For someone to truly define good and evil they have to be intelligent to know the consequences of good and evil on people, they have to be sentient, have to love to know what it even means to care for someone and by that it God.

All of Abraham's children need to GRASP their HOLY BOOKS from the Spiritual pov or these conflicts will NEVER EVER EVER STOP and Abraham's descendants (ALL OF THEM ) will continue to be a curse in the earth instead of a LIGHT for the world: I wish I could exclude Christianity from this curse but they are not exempt from it because of how they may believe in Jesus but most Christians today still do not yet "KNOW" in whom they believe. Jews don't have the Holy Spirit (only David ever had the Holy Spirit which is what the CHOSEN are given to understand the Bible from a spiritual POV): It says no one can say Jesus is Lord but by the HOLY SPIRIT: Why? Because Jesus is born when the ANOINTING (Christ) is born through the heart by the Holy Spirit: Jesus then never was a person born through sex but the SEED OF GOD (HASHEM) which is a SPIRITUAL SEED, is born through the heart (Mark 4 the parable of all parables, explains this along with John 16, showing that the woman (heart) gives birth to Christ, not the sexual part of female: Here is why a male can give birth to Christ through the good part of their heart as much as a female sexually, because the SOUL is neither male or female. This is also why "virgin" is a metaphor of the heart (desire) that is able to bring the anointing into the world, the 30 fold (Mark 4) which is the LETTER LAMED =teacher that brings us above the line ): Virgin has nothing to do with a sexual virgin and this is true for those poor Muslims that give their lives to get 70 virgins, but that's another story: The GOOD GROUND of the heart is the virgin ground of being that is able to bring forth the SEED of the woman (Israel) through Judah (praise of Yah) because Praise is PERFECTED in the mouth of babes (David was the YOUNGEST of Jesse's children) and a CHILD shall lead the soul back to God/Hashem. Having said all this for 31 years, only those who also EXPERIENCE the HOLY SPIRIT grasp it: Jews don't grasp Jesus or Torah as a tree of life because they don't have the HOLY SPIRIT, the ANOINTING (Christ) that reveals the truth that sets us FREE. Even the most intelligent Jews and Christians too, don't understand or "KNOW" Jesus until the baptism into the Holy Spirit which is baptism into Jesus name. The most intelligent people from all religions or atheism, get Jesus wrong because they can't wrap their mind around the meaning of "MAN" in the Bible, not grasping that males are animate but MAN is the IMAGE and LIKENESS of God and deals with the soul, not the sexual physical part of us. : Without the HOLY Spirit it is impossible to understand the Bible period: Moses for instance is a CODE NAME (drawn from the water) which is the subconscious, the sea that splits open in us when the SOUL escapes from the ego or identity with our first born status, our physical self and mind. Moses then is the CONSCIENCE that comes out of Israel when they are so overwhelmed by being slaves to the ego (EGYPT) that they can't take it anymore and MOSES appears to take them out of the EGO (EGYPT): The conscience however doesn't get it completely right in that it doesn't FULLY GRASP how to teach the SOUL HOW TO SPEAK to the rock (that gives the LIVING WATER or anointing) but instead it does what Jews have been doing since they lost Moses (their conscience) which is get angry at those (including one another) who can't bring the LIVING WATER out of the rock: HASHEM (GOD) told their conscience, SPEAK to the rock to get the living water: SPEAKING is prophesying which Moses said HE WISHED ALL ISRAEL WOULD DO: WHY? Because then they would GET THE ANOINTING from the rock (Christ ) that was with Israel in the wilderness: So HASHEM said to the conscience of Israel and is still saying it today, YOU DID NOT SANTIFY MY NAME IN THE FACE OF THIS PEOPLE. So Moses, you die and are buried on Mt NEBO (means PROPHET) so when you are resurrected by the ONE WHO DOES SPEAK THE WORD to raise the dead which is you (the conscience) and Elijah (the DESIRE FOR MESSIAH or the anointing, also law and prophets) YOU WILL DO what you should have done when I told you to do it: SPEAK to the rock, YOU will then prophesy to the DEAD BONES OF THE WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL and the VALLEY shall be exalted while the mountain (EGO) shall be laid low, as the crooked (serpent, will) is made straight::

For far too long priests and preachers have completely ignored the vicious criminal acts that the Bible promotes. The so called God of the Bible makes Osama Bin Laden look like a Boy Scout. This God, according to the Bible, is directly responsible for many mass-murders, rapes, pillage, plunder, slavery, child abuse and killing, not to mention the killing of unborn children.* I have included references to the Biblical passages, so grab your Bible and follow along. *It always amazes me how many times this God orders the killing of innocent people even after the Ten Commandments said Thou shall not kill.* For example, God kills 70,000 innocent people because David ordered a census of the people (1 Chronicles 21). God also orders the destruction of 60 cities so that the Israelites can live there. He orders the killing of all the men, women, and children of each city, and the looting of all of value (Deuteronomy 3). He orders another attack and the killing of all the living creatures of the city: men and women, young, and old, as well as oxen sheep, and asses (Joshua 6). In Judges 21 He orders the murder of all the people of Jabesh-gilead, except for the virgin girls who were taken to be forcibly raped and married. When they wanted more virgins, God told them to hide alongside the road and when they saw a girl they liked, kidnap her and forcibly rape her and make her your wife! *Just about every other page in the Old Testament has God killing somebody!* In 2 Kings 10:18-27, God orders the murder of all the worshipers of a different god in their very own church! In total God kills 371,186 people directly and orders another 1,862,265 people murdered The God of the Bible also allows slavery, including selling your own daughter as a sex slave (Exodus 21:1-11), child abuse (Judges 11:29-40 & Isaiah 13:16), and bashing babies against rocks (Hosea 13:16 & Psalms 137:9). ***This type of criminal behavior should shock any moral person.*** ***Murder, rape, pillage, plunder, slavery, and child abuse can not be justified by saying that some god says it’s OK.*** If more people would actually sit down and read the Bible there would be a lot more atheists like myself. *Jesus also promoted the idea that all men should castrate themselves to go to heaven:* For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it (Matthew 19:12). *I don’t know why anyone would follow the teachings of someone who literally tells all men to cut off their privates.* The God of the Bible also was a big fan of ritual human sacrifice and animal sacrifice. *And just in case you are thinking that the evil and immoral laws of the Old Testament are no longer in effect, perhaps you should read where Jesus makes it perfectly clear:* It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid (Luke 16:17). There are many more quotes on this topic at my Do Not Ignore the Old Testament web page. *If you follow the links on this site you will learn about all the nasty things in the Bible that are usually not talked about by priests and preachers.* www.evilbible.com/ Watch *"Context!!!!!!"* by NonStampCollector (A good video for believers who try to rationalise Biblical atrocities and immorality by saying "Out of context".)
