CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

When pure selfishness drives a human, history has proven the deadliness of the position.
Most Theists were once Atheists. So, "ignorant" is not an accurate word to use for their position. Free thinker. Two words. One Christian.
Confront him if it makes you uncomfortable. Then you both can prove your psoitions.
He's wrong. Survival of the fittest and self serving actions drives atheist morals.
The basic premise that only does the personal opinion of the atheist and the consequences of violating laws drives their moral choices. It's a simple life.
Why not?
Why not? What if you cannot be caught stealing or lying and what if you truly don't like someone your being a dick to?
Why? HOW? What's the point? What goes around comes around sometimes (and usually) doesn't. Do lions care about gazelles? Why care about another animal if it cannot benefit you?
Atheism 101.
Why? There is s difference as to why between Atheists and Christians. One is to show the love of God in us, and one is to make someone healthy for tax and hedonistic reasons.
Know, you need five-thousand yeard old rote to do it.
Oh and three-hundred yeard old rote as well. Here we go with atheism 102.
And we;ve rejected sexual licentiousness still. When are you going to get to gay activism and abortion rights pal. Cut to the chase dude.
Not hardly pal. You make yourselves feel good and Christians suffer and die with those they help. And as history has shown us ( and not Biblical history, real newspapers today kind of stuff) Christians can die alone for just wanting to help others. Atheism does not drive this behavior on in anyone but suicidal people.
BINGO!!!!! Yatchee!!! Our survey says?
Gay activism.
The usual suspects in yet another thread. IF you used logic and reason AND evolution, atheism should be the loudest voice against homosexuality becoming supported and approved of as a behavior and action IN humans. Ah but the emotionalism of selfishness overrides all logic.
Cut and pasting infidels.org are ya?
r o t e spells rote.
No pun intended?
Interesting that atheists in power have piled up hundreds of millions of dead bodies don't you think?
Atheism and Christian thinking are not equal. Christians have come to decision to believe in God through observation and questioning and atheism is staying animal.
Two paths leading two different places. But hey, you got your gay thing in there and that's all important to atheism these days. That and billboards and lawsuits supporting atheism over the masses.
Same old same old.

This is not true. Most people were born into theistic families and unquestioningly follow what their parents taught them. Most people don't think much deeper that this. What world do you live in?

This one.
Now try responding rather than reacting:

No, you need five-thousand year old rote (writings) to do it.

Try saying correct statements instead of incorrect ones. I merely pointed out a grossly incorrect statement. I'm sorry if it offends you to be wrong.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your meaning here, but hasn't the history of Christianity had it's dark times wherein multitudes of people were murdered? Isn't that one of the dangers of "power" misused, regardless of religious background?
I must be missing your point here.

He will claim that somehow when those Christians acted badly, they weren't really Christians they were acting like Atheists, leftists, "the usual suspects". We've been down this road with him. He just doesn't want to see it and there are none so blind as those who will not see.

Beliefs are beliefs. Statements are something else, unless you're stating your beliefs.
But mainly, please explain in detail, your - "written on our souls by God" belief. How exactly does that work? If you don't know all the details, that's okay. Just give me your best thumbnail sketch of the belief.

Theists that point to a book/word as their moral compass sometimes devalue the impact of socialized empathy on themselves and others. Even a strong atheist believing there is no god or punishment/reward in the afterlife will empathize with his fellow man and act like he hopes he'll be treated. The emotion of empathy is very real and quite compelling to the point that it's hard for many to act against it. It's what resonates as truth to some Christians as they read the bible. Well guess what... that emotion/feeling is inside the atheist as well and he acts on it as much as theists do.

no I said socialized empathy. It could have genetic roots as I can see how empathy could be a survival trait.
