It's telling that anti-religion memes are based on the content of religious beliefs while anti-atheist memes are based on how athiests defend their assertion, not the assertion itself...

I think both religious people and atheists would get a lot more out of an open discussion of their basic moral values and attitudes towards how to approach life and how to cultivate oneself as a good human being, but sadly most people care too much about shitting on each other over whether or not God exists, either to stroke their own ego or get back at someone like say their shitty religious family who they're butthurt at over their upbringing or ******* atheists on the internet.

Exactly. That's why they are so vacuous and pitiful.

This will probably open up a whole new can 'o' worms, but it's true that Hitler was functioning far more from the antisemitism of Christianity than secularism.

That much is clear, you know, with the whole "we need to eradicate all the Jews" thing...

Morality has absolute sh!t to do with whether or not you believe in god.

You want to have a discussion of morals and life? Don't bring god into it.

Hell is an inherently abhorrent concept that is infinitely worse than all of humanity's sins combined.

There's no crime that justifies eternal punishment, especially considering we already punish people in real life.

God's a far greater sinner than any of the men he sends to eternal damnation.

My religious pursuits have made me a morally better human being, and I could explain that morality without citing the authority of God. And I know plenty of people like that for whom their religion has helped them grow into more kind, loving, and humble human beings with a good sense of right and wrong, which again is something that could be conveyed through a conversation on moral value without debating the existence of God.

It's one thing to admit there's bad things that have come out of religion, it's another thing to say nobody has ever benefited from it and that it's not worthwhile to have deep moral conversations between good atheists and good religious people.

I actually agree, which is why I'm a universalist who believes everyone gets redeemed and gets into Heaven.

Again, holy books like the Bible and Koran are filled with some very conflicting moral imperatives and guidelines it is ridiculous to say that good morals come from religion. So people becoming more loving and kind human beings is a result of their own pursuits and concerns and an improving human community that has more immediate concerns than what happens in the afterlife. It's good that people focus more on the great moral truths like the Golden Rule, "DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU." That's great. But to say you know religious people that are loving and moral is not proof of religion's role in morality because atheists are capable of love and kindness also. The point is the books are not needed and in fact they can get in the way of moral progress: like the discrimination of homosexuals and women.

What I never understood is why we should follow the teachings of God, and not those of Bhudda for example. Personally, I would rather build my moral on the strange teachings of Bhuddism, and not the rules of a pro-rape, pro-genoicide serial killer.

Oh I see, so you have this weird double standard that when religion motivates people to good morality it can't be given credit but when it motivates people to bad morality it's all religion's fault. Got it, makes sense. Totally not a double standard.

Patient_Leech

^ That's not what I said. I said it's not always religion doing the motivation towards good. It's people's own innate nature and society playing and modifying religion.

And yes, it is undeniable that bad things have been the direct result of religion. Inquisition, burning of witches. I'm not saying that religion hasn't brought some good also, but it's not needed to do good in the world and it actually causes a lot of harm that wouldn't be there otherwise.

The "between atheists and good religious people" part isn't important or necessary.

Religious people don't have some unique sense of morality the non religious don't.

I like that. I'm guessing sinners have to pay retribution and show moral growth before their redemption?

I'm also hoping in real life punishments are taken into consideration.

There's nuance to most of these that a meme format will never capture, so I think this is an inherently flawed way of approaching debate, which is how it's being used by some. But that one about the universe needs little outside context, imo. I saw some documentary about the stars and someone I was watching with had a similar comment, along the lines of "the sheer vastness of space makes any religion of man seem small by comparison." I think it's an issue that should be seriously grappled with by theists, but one that is too often pushed aside or not seriously considered.

The notion that there is an "Alt-Left" is just silly equalization tactics from butthurt conservatives that desperately want there to be an equivalent on the other side of the aisle. Pro tip: just because you create a name for a thing, it doesn't mean it actually exists.

No, Antifa is a great example of the alt left. Pro-tip: nothing you just said negates this fact. You're the same imbecile who says democrats haven't gotten more extreme. You're not an intelligent person you're just very skilled at pretending you are. I know you'll just come take a shot at my intelligence, but it won't change the facts.

The "Alt-Left" is a conservative invention. Fact.

Studies show that political polarization is entirely one-sided. Fact.

You covering your eyes and ears and saying, "Nuh-uh," does not change that.

Patient_Leech

Well to be fair there IS sort of a leftist ideology that seems to be eating itself. The Leftist thinking that can't distinguish between criticizing Islam as an ideology vs Muslims as people. So any criticism of Islam (which is actually quite anti- Western liberal values) is seen as discrimination against Muslims as people.

Whether they could be called "Alt-left" I don't know, but it's a thing, unfortunately.

Yep. "Alt left" are just the extremists on the left. Antifa is full of communists, for instance. They claim to denounce fascism, yet beat the shit out of anyone they perceive to be a nazi without putting any real effort into making sure the person is a nazi. And if no nazis are around? They just get violent with any press that is covering them(this actually happened). They've also beaten and robbed marines. They are fringe, alt left. They believe violence is the solution. For them not to be alt left would be to suggest that their views represent the mainstream left.

If they want any hope of defeating trump they are indeed gonna need to be able to leave their echo chambers and realize: yup, an alt left exists.

OF COURSE! THE WOMAN IS ALWAYS TO BLAME!

I'm not sure of the relevance, though.

But in all seriousness, while the Bible does tend to be misogynistic, that never really was the take-away from the Fall of Man. It was always just "Man", as in humans, sinned. But yes, Lucifer disguised as a snake tricked Eve into eating the fruit from the Tree Of the Knowledge of Good & Evil, and then Eve gave the fruit to Adam. To anyone with a brainstem it's stupid taken literally, and is obviously allegorical. But anyway...

I always thought the fruit from the tree of knowledge was a metaphor of Eve pulling on Adam's balls and then gave it to Adam, as in "gave it to Adam". shifty
