Go preach somewgere else. Your arguments make no logical sense without taking your whole odd beliefs as cannon. You literally have nothing to say buy assert your favorite religion started everything good. At least back your conclusions up with logic post-fact.
- yters 9y agoWell, let's look at an atheistic country, say the Soviet Union. They certainly had no moral qualms about mass human experimentation and genocide when it suited their purpose. On the other hand, even Islam, the most violent of the big religions, still teaches from the Koran that every person has something divine in them that gives them value. Islam has not conducted killings at the same scale as the atheistic regimes have.
- dragonwriter 9y agoThe Soviet Union may have been atheistic, but whatever problems it had don't stem from your complaint upthread about atheistic persons not having a belief in right and wrong; Leninism is no less an exclusive, total ideology of right and wrong than those associated with theistic systems.
- yters 9y agoExactly. He had a view of right and wrong derived from his atheism, but it was certainly not the correct view. Hence gulags, human experimentation, etc. I know of no atheistic derivation of ethics that is actually moral. They all undermine morality because the human being is nothing special, merely a tool for the ubermensch.
