The morality of Biblical Christianity vs secular morality

I'm sure most have figured out where he is going with this.

How am I lying? Christians have never killed anyone. But atheists have killed millions.

I'll keep this on an intellectual level. Your arguments are simplistic, and rely almost exclusively on cherry picking, special pleading, and now, no true Scotsman.

Honestly, if you were defending a thesis in grad school like this, you'd flunk.

ok

Make no mistake, I could easily tear down all of your objections,

No you couldn't. Your moral philosophy is epistemologically vacuous. You can't even predicate a valid argument on it, let alone respond to criticisms.

The fact that you think that makes me chuckle

The fact that you think having no epistemology whatsoever is not a hindrance to your moral philosophy does not surprise me in the least. You wouldn't be making the same thread over and over again under multiple accounts if you had a clue what that actually means.

It would be wise to pay attention to my posts before you reply. I was referring to sharing a cell with Christians who were following the teachings of Jesus. Would an atheist prefer to share a cell with unrepentant criminals?

Pay attention to my reply. That's a false dichotomy.

 

[Eight Foot Manchild]

Pay attention to my reply. That's a false dichotomy.

It's two fallacies in one - false dichotomy in the form of a loaded question. 'Unrepentant' vs. 'Christian' does not equate to 'bad' vs. 'good'.

 

[Organic]

Pay attention to my reply. That's a false dichotomy.

Why, because you're too afraid to give an honest answer?

To be honest, guys, I think we're dealing with either a troll, or with someone who isn't even old enough to be on here in the first place. His arguments are so outlandish and oversimplified -- not to mention unsupported by any documentation -- that I find it's not even worth the time.

And that's coming from a Theist, Organic, just so ya know.

Do you actually know what a false dichotomy is?

This can't be healthy for him.

You might be a theist, but you're not a follower of Christ.

Of course I do, but he's using this as an excuse not to answer.

Did you stop beating your wife?

 

[IanCG]

Of course I do, but he's using this as an excuse not to answer.

Again, did you stop beating your wife? I don't want any excuses, just answer the question. Do you still beat her, or did you stop?

I don't have a wife

That´s a flat out lie.

 

[Organic]

That´s a flat out lie.

Actually, it isn't. And besides, atheists lie all the time.

[FONT=verdana,sans-serif]Ah hah! I got you to respond. That was easy.

Or did you assume that I wasn't coming back to this thread, so you figured you could finally take a shot?

[/FONT][FONT=verdana,sans-serif]I'm not a follower of [/FONT][FONT=verdana,sans-serif]Muhammad or Zoroaster, either. Your point?
[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,sans-serif]The word "theism" comes from the Greek word for "God".
As such, I believe in, and have a relationship with, God. I'm theistic in my worldview. [/FONT][FONT=verdana,sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=verdana,sans-serif]
