Of course I did. I wouldn't expect you to be able stomach reading them and even if you could I wouldn't expect you to comprehend them.

Don't be silly, Christianity has been the greatest force for good in the history of mankind. You just can't be objective about it because you don't believe you can be wrong. Your righteous indignation was only made possible by the high standards established by Judea/Christianity. You are like the dog who bites the hand that feeds it. You are like the goat who believes the other pasture is greener. Path not taken. Grow up in India or China and see how you would have been treated.

First of all, you are not agnostic. You are an atheist. Maybe a borderline militant atheist. Secondly, history and reason tells us the MILITANT atheism leads to communism.

lol, whatever you want to classify me as, I can tell you one thing... I understand the nature of goodness more than you ever will, while you're trapped in your fantasies of religious superiority.
No. You don't. Your morals are relative and can change. You have no distinction between good and evil, no morality or any other kind of value, save pleasure.
Yes I no longer think it's OK to burn witches alive

Liberals will soon be fair game though. In about 20 more days.
Haven't you heard I'm a Republican now?

Is Putin going to let the world know who sealybobo is thru wikileaks? Is Russia going to help you out us? Then I'm going to donate $5 to trump just to cover my bases.


You need to send your money to me. Donald Trump has been helping me start a new business. I have entered into an agreement with Old Nick to operate the Bottled Water Concession in Hell. Being the humanitarian that I am, I knew my atheist friends would want some insurance or a hedge against their being totally wrong about the consequences of their unbelief.

I will be accepting prepayment for regular deliveries of Florida Bottled Water taken directly from the discharge of our nuclear power plant in Tampa. This crystal water has served to cool the nuclear centrifuges and the radiation has killed all bacteria and living organisms. This fine refreshing water can be purchased for the low introductory price of just $1.50 per 12 ounce serving. Atheists such as yourself can lay away a stockpile of bottled water now by prepayment in United States funds.

I will be following up shortly with a line of fireproof underwear. We will use asbestos as the prime material since EPA regulations will be waived and since most EPA officials will be in Hell anyways.

Yes, greatest force for good. Western Civilization was built upon the foundation of Christianity.

Christianity promotes the virtues of thankfulness, forgiveness, humility, chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience and kindness. Christianity is responsible for the creation of wonderful charities and organizations which serve the betterment of man. Christians and Christian institutions are usually the first source of literacy, education, and healthcare in the poorer regions.Christians and Christian institutions have been the source of abundant human services from hospitals, orphanages, nursing homes, and schools, to advocacy on behalf of those with no voice, to supporting cultural outreaches, and seeking always to find ways in which to protect and promote human life and its authentic flourishing. Christianity gave us the concept of subsidiarity and has done what no government can ever do, namely teach morality and civility Christianity teaches accountability and responsibility. Christianity teaches that we have a choice in how we behave and that actions have consequences. Christianity inspires a sense of wonder in nature and the universe and helps us feel connected to one another and to nature through regular community gatherings. Christianity helps us feel less alone in the world by binding the community together. Christianity serves to ennoble the human spirit and inspires love, peace and happiness. Christianity brings order to our lives by promoting the virtues of thankfulness, forgiveness and humility. Christianity brings comfort to the terminally ill and can act as a source of hope for the oppressed. Christianity teaches that we can transform ourselves. That it is possible to change for the better. Christian values were the foundation which Western Civilization was built upon. No other institution played a greater role in shaping Western Civilization than the Catholic Church. Modern science was born in the Catholic Church. Catholic priests developed the idea of free-market. The Catholic Church invented the university. Western law grew out of Church canon law. The Church humanized the West by insisting on the sacredness of all human life. The Church constantly sought to alleviate the evils of slavery and repeatedly denounced the mass enslavement of conquered populations and the infamous slave trade, thereby undermining slavery at its sources. Religion gave us great thinkers, leaders and humanitarians. Christianity gave us America. Christianity gave us incredible artwork, music and architecture. Christianity has spread democracy throughout the world. Christians fought other Christians in WWII to end their aggression and rebuilt Europe and Japan after WWII. Christians put a man on the moon and ended the cold war.
Christians dropped 2 atomic bombs on Japan. Christians also destroyed Iraq and Afghanistan. And the Christian god let AIDS happen. Should I go on?
Sure, and they should not have rationalized that it was a good thing. What's your point?

You'll have to take that aids thingee up with God. Make sure to give Him an earful when you do.
Point is that Christians, like everyone else, are capable of the complete range of human actions, from the good to the bad, and aren't in any special category because of the belief in an invisible superbeing.

I'm for sure going to ask god why he gives little kids, or anyone really, cancer. Is it for fun, or is he simply a douchesack.
Yep, we are all broken human beings. Some more than others. You prove that on a daily basis. Not to worry His spirit is still inside of you pruning you. Be patient. It is a work in progress.
This must be how god wants me to be, otherwise he would have changed me/led me down a different path.
If you say so.
 
I agree that Communism is potentially good,

I rest my case.
Religion is a communist system. One powerful person at the top, and everyone under them is a loser who needs to be saved by the system that they'll feed.
I'm sure you do see it that way.
That's what it is, the guy at the top tells you what and how to think. Otherwise, maybe you're not even a Catholic. Just a faker like all the rest.
I'm happy enough for you to believe anything you want about me or God.
 
Greatest force for good??? The religion that promotes slavery, bigotry, racism, witch burnings, the crusades, the holy wars, the inquisition... I could go on. Christianity also homophobic, misogynistic, anti-scientific and anti-intellectual, it preys on the ignorant, the innocent. It encourages acceptance of truly bad things while focusing on imaginary evils. There is way to many more to list. I will acknowledge that Christianity has done some good things for some individuals but as a whole it has done more harm.
Yes, greatest force for good. Western Civilization was built upon the foundation of Christianity.

This is not true. One needs to look no further than the Christians on this forum to see that this statement is completely false.

Christianity is responsible for the creation of wonderful charities and organizations which serve the betterment of man.
Charities and organizations which serve the betterment of man have been around long before Christianity was around. Most of the biggest corrupt charitable organizations have been Christian ones.

Christians and Christian institutions are usually the first source of literacy, education, and healthcare in the poorer regions.
Another lie. In fact when we look at countries with the highest literacy rates we see that the countries with large Christian influence are absent from the list.
25 Countries With The Highest Literacy Rates
Countries with the best healthcare and education for all and not just the rich show up on countries without Christian influence throughout every list polled.As for being the first source, this is misleading. We know Christian ministries will set up schools and shelters in third world countries but not without a price. People must convert to Christianity to usually get access to books, healthcare, clothing, toys and food in these instances.


Christians and Christian institutions have been the source of abundant human services from hospitals, orphanages, nursing homes, and schools, to advocacy on behalf of those with no voice, to supporting cultural outreaches, and seeking always to find ways in which to protect and promote human life and its authentic flourishing.
I don't think you would want to list orphanages with all the history of abuse conducted by those Christian protectors of children. Supporting Cultural outreaches?? Are you kidding me? Like how Christians supported the native population by taking their children away from their parents and placing them in residential schools where isolation, humiliation , denigration and abuse were widespread.

Christianity gave us the concept of subsidiarity and has done what no government can ever do, namely teach morality and civility
Not one Christian gets their morality and civility form the bible. It comes from other influences. This I can prove. Other nations where other religions and non-religion have more influence usually have the same morality and civility.
Christianity teaches accountability and responsibility.
Again, these traits were around long before Christianity. Loot at the huge amount of Christians and Christian leaders that have shown zero accountability and responsibility.

Because of time constraints I will argue these points later. Off to work.

Atheism is correlated with better scientific literacy, lower poverty rates, higher literacy rates, higher average incomes, less violence, lower divorce rates, lower teen pregnancy rates, lower STD infection rates, lower crime rates and lower homicide rates.

Studies on happiness outside of predominantly religious countries (eg. the United States) find little to no correlation between happiness and religious belief. This corresponds with evidence which shows social and community bonding, rather than spiritual engagement, explains why religious people report greater satisfaction with life.
That hasn't been my observation on these boards and in life in general.
How come China never swallowed the Jesus story? Paul went to Greece and conned my ancestors. Why didn't like or John go con the Asians? Or did they try unsuccessfully?

We all know Asians are smart. Maybe they are too smart for the abrahamic religions
You will have to ask them.

You need to send your money to me. Donald Trump has been helping me start a new business. I have entered into an agreement with Old Nick to operate the Bottled Water Concession in Hell. Being the humanitarian that I am, I knew my atheist friends would want some insurance or a hedge against their being totally wrong about the consequences of their unbelief.

I will be accepting prepayment for regular deliveries of Florida Bottled Water taken directly from the discharge of our nuclear power plant in Tampa. This crystal water has served to cool the nuclear centrifuges and the radiation has killed all bacteria and living organisms. This fine refreshing water can be purchased for the low introductory price of just $1.50 per 12 ounce serving. Atheists such as yourself can lay away a stockpile of bottled water now by prepayment in United States funds.

I will be following up shortly with a line of fireproof underwear. We will use asbestos as the prime material since EPA regulations will be waived and since most EPA officials will be in Hell anyways.

IF you're going to go into business with Trump, you'd be more successful trying to open a pussy-grabbing enterprise. He claims to be an expert in the practice.

The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition (Spanish: Tribunal del Santo Oficio de la Inquisición), commonly known as the Spanish Inquisition (Inquisición española), was established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile.

It became the most substantive of the three different manifestations of the wider Christian Inquisition along with the Roman Inquisition and Portuguese Inquisition.

Reminds me of the us military's record on how women are treated. We let our boys rape women and get away with it.

Or how we didn't imprison any priests who molested kids. The Catholic Church transferred them to other parashes where they could rape again.

I'm glad you have a holy book of absolute right and wrong. Now if your Christian nation would live by those rules it'd be great.

As an atheist I don't need a holy book to tell me not to rape.
 
More links?!?

Did you take the time to read them this time, to make sure they're not falsifying your argument? I sure ain't gonna click 'em anymore...

Of course I did. I wouldn't expect you to be able stomach reading them and even if you could I wouldn't expect you to comprehend them.

But your reply is EXACTLY what Christianity did. Minus the God part... Think Puritanism and Calvinism as easy examples. I'm not promoting Socialism either, it is equally bad due to coercing people to do bad things in the name of their "God" (god being government in Socialism). And Socialists killed millions of people due to their religion in the 20th century. Just showing you that Socialism is a religion, just as bad as Christianity.

Don't be silly, Christianity has been the greatest force for good in the history of mankind. You just can't be objective about it because you don't believe you can be wrong. Your righteous indignation was only made possible by the high standards established by Judea/Christianity. You are like the dog who bites the hand that feeds it. You are like the goat who believes the other pasture is greener. Path not taken. Grow up in India or China and see how you would have been treated.

But atheists are not Socialists! Geez...

Just because people are atheist/agnostic, does not make them part of mother Russia! You sound like McCarthy at his peak!

People that are atheist/agnostic simply haven't been fooled by the snake-oil salesmen that have tried to embed themselves into our psyche from birth.

We're rational people, looking at an irrational society of religious lemmings killing each other over supernatural beings, and wondering where this craziness is going to lead us...

And I don't see it leading anywhere "good" for humanity, as it stands right now. I think the Earth could definitely use an "intervention".

First of all, you are not agnostic. You are an atheist. Maybe a borderline militant atheist. Secondly, history and reason tells us the MILITANT atheism leads to communism.

lol, whatever you want to classify me as, I can tell you one thing... I understand the nature of goodness more than you ever will, while you're trapped in your fantasies of religious superiority.
No. You don't. Your morals are relative and can change. You have no distinction between good and evil, no morality or any other kind of value, save pleasure.

Again, you have it backwards. My morals never change. They are the same from birth. Or at least as far back as I can remember....

And it is to never kill or hurt another person, unless I am physically attacked first.

That's not the way religion has rolled, throughout history. And there's a simple reason why. Let's say there are 100 followers of someone promoting a new religion, and that person is genuinely honest. That causes a lot of money to be raised, and necessitates the need for people to collect that money and hand it out as needed. However, there is never a true 100% transfer of donations to charities. The rulers take the money they need to survive and live to their means, and before death, pass along the money-making machine to their offspring or friends. But once the initial followers die of natural causes, the religion ends and the money stops flowing. So therefore, they must constantly try to convert more people into the religion to keep a constant cash-flow.

And sometimes, the rate of peaceful converts is not enough to sustain that religion as it expands, should another religion attack. So they have to form a large enough army by forcibly creating new followers and/or slaves, since their initial 100 true followers will eventually die and they can't defend themselves. And when they can't convert them by their logic, they turn to threats of torture and death. If that fails, they go to slavery.

Eventually when they have encompassed a large enough area, the newborn babies in that area will be brainwashed into that religion from birth. Since that is all they ever knew. So each generation develops a future army, to go out and kill and conquer for the financial benefit of their current religious ruler. Because the more they grow, the more difficult they are to defeat. And that ensures riches for the ones that promote the religions.

God does not need money. God does not need worshipers. And he definitely doesn't need an army.... The people that tell you that God needs these things, are simply trying to fill their own coffers at the expense of the people who really need it. And they've been very successful at it, covering many religions, for well over 4000 years.

That's what it is, the guy at the top tells you what and how to think. Otherwise, maybe you're not even a Catholic. Just a faker like all the rest.


Exactly, "Communism" is "Heaven" to followers of Socialism (but not to the rulers). Of course that ideal would be very nice. But it's not possible because it doesn't exist. It's a made-up fantasy that they promise to their poor followers if they cooperate. While the rulers rack in tons of money... And in the case of Socialism, they will never let go, to allow Communism. In the case of religions, people just die, and can never go back and give a 0-star rating to their religion on Amazon... :)
