So morality is whatever helps the species to propagate?

I agree; there is a moral code hardwired into our essence, or that is drawn from an external source. Either way, it exists, it is real, and we had better study it. We cannot define it or limit it without understanding.

Going back to earlier arguements about moral code, scientists have proven that being nice(e.g opening a door for someone) makes yourself feel good. Take what you will from this. It could be that humans naturally have a moral code, or God is rewarding them for being nice, but even if we didn’t have a religion humans would most likely have a moral code even if just for that reason. I believe that some sort of higher being MIGHT exist, but why waste money/time studying the higher being when instead you could be building/ donating to a homeless shelter, for example.

On the argument that you cant have morality without god. I do have a alternative explanation and that is without morality, our species would probably be doomed.

Think about it. If all humans did was kill each other and do whatever we wanted without feeling bad about it, we would probably be extinct.

So, you’ve personally investigated every religion, weighed the claims, and found *all* religions to be corrupt?

Tell me, how did you achieve this supernatural power?

Every religion on this planet is corrupt and Christianity is not an exception. An honest religion should uphold values, not change it’s opinions to avoid losing followers. I can respect the view that “a man can’t serve The Lord and money,” but not when the Vatican decides it’s in the best interest of the church for its followers to have more money to donate.

[...] As I posted earlier, if there is a faith that is chock full of contradiction and misinformation, it is the Atheist one. Here they are showing their ignorance, almost proudly. [...]

I thought Atheists stood for logic and reason. Tell me your logic and reasoning behind not believing in any god? Otherwise, tell me why you think logic and reason are not important?

Your assertions that since most of the people around you are Atheist you don’t have to justify it is a logical fallacy. Argumentum ad populum.

If your position is that you refuse to accept God, or refuse to think about God, we have a word for that: Ignorant. You do not know, and refuse to know.

Please label yourself and your countrymen appropriately from now on. You are all ignorant. The noun is “ignoramus.”

Using logic and reason, we have achieved great freedom and prosperity for all. Without logic and reason, we will be back to where we were in the Dark Ages. You don’t think that’s a good idea, do you? So please, use logic and reason to elevate your mind above the animal.

Being an atheist simply means to not believe in gods/a god and to not worship a god.

This is the exact opposite of being religious.

Religious people think that religion is a good thing, right?
Then why do they try to discredit atheism by constructing the idea that atheism is a religion ?

If your article was based on facts, I would be neither a theist nor an atheist – so….what am I ?!? xD

I am german, by the way. Most people here are atheists, so most people don´t care about religion and never talk about it.
That´s why I assume that atheists have to suffer so much ridicule that they start to organize more and more.

An event like the “reason rally” would never happen in germany.
Why ? Because most of us are atheists^^

Kind regards,
Paul

I am intrigued. Can you elucidate me on this idea that the rational and logical are not the same thing? You may want to begin with a definition of “rational” and “logical”.

Proving something exists is trivial. All you have to do is find it. I have found God. He answered my prayers. Why do you not seek Him when he is more than ready to reveal himself to you?

I think you’re confusing subjective vs. objective again. Since there is only one God, what he wants cannot be subjective. He gets to set all the rules, so whatever he wants is, by definition, objective.

Thank you for admitting that Atheism is inherently illogical. I shall remind all my reasonable friends of this critical fact every opportunity I get. Meanwhile, I shall expound on how logical Christianity is, and how scientific and reproducible its results are.

Atheism is anti-science, Christianity is the foundation of science.
