Because you loudly deny the existence of anything beyond you - esp a benevolent creator? It's only logical to assume that all your life-goals are entirely selfish. Your love given is only contingent on love received. Team freedomwoo do what you want, be free, dont be oppressed by aannny rule i am ungovernable yeerr-
There you go again. Insults. That's all you're good for.
What if people want to accept christ, but they simply cannot out of pure disbelief? And i STILL DONT UNDERSTAND how is loving someone a SIN?
No it isnt. I'm perfectly happy with my result. And yet again, you failed to refute my post and continue to insult me.
Lacking belief in a particular deity that is characterised in an unverified book hardly means I deny the existence of anything beyond myself. And judging from Bible, it's clear that the Abrahamic God is much closer to being malevolent, rather than benevolent.
Lol what do you believe in beyond yourself? What is something greater than you/Worth dying for? Why is it worth giving your life to? gogogo
I agree, it doesn't necessarily follow.
Really,
.
Well obviously i'm not saying that the athiest is incapable of doing good acts. They are just doing them in an unconscious glorification of their creator, making them less than athiest. They just havent followed their own logic perfectly thru and this is good! Signs of Hope in the desert! Angels rejoice! Blessed redemption is near to them
Mother Teresa was incredibly selfish
I believe in many things beyond myself, I just lack belief in one less diety than you do. You're atheist-esque towards all other deities and gods of other religions, even if you aren't aware of it. We both lack belief in Zeus, etc.
Troll perhaps, or maybe just illiterate?
Yes, but in a universe without god, why do you consider it worthy to lay down all you have and supposedly ever will have for the equally irrelevant and futile life of another (let alone something like their private property)? Surely this is just some ancient lingering faith from the bones of your ancestors still ringing in your ears at an imperceptible pitch.
Hey Ironrod, why don't you just explicitly lay it all out on the table. In layman's terms, what do you dislike about homosexuality and its' people (or those involved)... no reasoning... just what you don't like about it.
The 'unconscious glorification of their creator' could be explained as some kind of altruism, which is adaptive in evolutionary terms? (e.g. people are more likely to act altruistically towards people who are genetically closer - these findings are used by evolutionary scientists to claim it is an adaptive behaviour to keep genes in the gene pool, or genes in the pool at all for the survival of the species, in the case of altruistic acts towards the least related members). This explains the behaviour without a God (but of course assumes we did evolve by natural selection).
