I am not going to go blow for blow:And yet SteveW is in Brisbane Australia, and people in Australia are very much free to be Christian.
Would you care to provide me with a source that shows that it is illegal for Christians to adopt children in the UK?
Again, would you care to show me a source to support your claim about the illegality of this?
The Nazis literally had "God is with us" as part of their uniform. Don't pretend they were atheists.
When did I say that being an atheist automatically meant having a moral code?
That's hilarious. Here's a list of some of the atrocities that took place due to Christianity. The Right-Wing Doesn't Want to Talk About Christian Atrocities, So Let's Talk About Christian Atrocities
Stop trying to derail the thread.
You are looking at history through the lens of your faith, and you are getting a distorted and inaccurate view.
You do not know what you are talking about. I am an atheist and I certainly do not hold such views.
What I said is mostly self evident, and the rest is easily discoverable with a little research.
Whilst the line between illegal and persecuted is a fine one, it is certainly illegal to bring bibles into some countries and Christianity is de facto illegal in others, Try Nigeria for many Christian’s killed for being Christian. Today.
But it is creeping into so called civilised countries.
in contemporary U.K. a woman was indeed arrested for “ suspected prayer “ close to an abortion facility in Birmingham named Isabel Vaughan spruce. Check it out, A nasty atheist council made it illegal to pray in that area in a local bye law. So christianity and the right to protest were illegal there. The thin end of a wedge.
But to the main issue, it was a fair question.
You claimed “ don’t kill “ was around before Christianity ( I presume you mean before 10 commandments)
I reacted to that.
I asked where a moral code was even in recent catastrophic genocides? It Was ordinary people in rwanda that chopped millions to bits With machetes in an act of ethnic cleansing and race hate.
As an apparition of a lady had prophesied years before “unless they turned back to God, the rivers would run red, so many bodies there would be nobody left to bury them”. It was considered unthinkable at the time. But so it was.
It is an important and VERY FAIR question on existence and source of moral code, in direct response to what you said!
The Christian code is do not kill.
Nobody is acting as Christian if they they do, regardless of allegiance they claim.The Nazis do not get to decide whether God is with them. They made mockery of humanity and God.
Your misleading list of so called Christian atrocities referring to for example Bosnian genocide as “religious” in character , ignores the fact that many victims were atheist. It was ethnic cleansing, just as Rwanda.
Atheists consider unguided evolution as the origin of life . They have no other choice. The dogma of evolutionary theory is survival of fittest.
You are entitled to hold in contempt some of what was done in the name of Christianity but in defiance of its moral code, and I will JOIN you in that! It gives us all a bad name.
