Man Cannot Be Suitably Moral or Good without God. Here's why:

[Mashmont]

So thankfully, I'm atheist, i have no hatred.

Unfortunately, atheists have the most hatred of all, and lack the tools of Christianity to combat it.

 

[Feeding Crows]

That's Communism, which is a religion. Based on Calvinism and Puritanism. It promises an utopian afterlife if the Socialist goals are met.

 

[Mashmont]

whoa, back up a moment. what about Priests who molest children? How does your prayer forgive them?

And btw, you have no idea why you believe what you believe. You were just born into the religion. Do you know the history?

I believe priests who molest children do not take their faith seriously. Just because you are an ordained priestsdoesn't mean you do everything you're supposed to. Although I have known many great priests who seem to follow the prescriptions of Galations in my OP, I have also known a few who clearly do not.

Communism is atheism. All Communist regimes are atheist.

religion is about control, not morality

Since Christianity is voluntary, how can it be about control?

 

[Feeding Crows]

Communism has never existed because Socialists will never let go of their control.

Christianity is not voluntary. You are born into it. And you believe it absolutely, just because you were born into it. If you were born Jewish or Muslim, you would have a different outlook.

So can any sex-offender become a priest? Or does "god" have some sort of say in determining his or her worth?

 

[Feeding Crows]

Does "god" care about the child abuse that is taking place in "his" name?

 

[Feeding Crows]

Or does he not give a shit?

 

[Feeding Crows]

I think he doesn't care bro. Sorry to burst your bubble.

God doesn't exist. You believe what you believe because people killed and raped your ancestors, and forced the children to be Christian. And after a few generations, you just believe it without question.

But your ancestors were not Christian. They were something else. You should look up your lineage. You're probably a pagan.

You're talking rapid-fire nonsense, bro. I think we're done.

 

[Feeding Crows]

What is your history? Where was your family 1600 years ago? You def weren't Christian. You were Pagan.

Now you're Christian, because they killed your ancestors, and had their way with the women, and now you are Christian. Via rape or natural birth. Either way, you're not Christian really. You just believe it because you were born into it.

 

[surada]

Yes.

Yes they do, to at least some degree. The problem is very few do all the things all the time that the Galatians passage prescribes, without the help of prayer to God.

Here's an example. I don't know of a single atheist who believes sex outside of marriage, passionate unmarried kissing and petting, and masturbation are immoral. Yet they are sins, even grave sins which can keep you out of Heaven. For devout Christians who believe these things are wrong, they are still difficult to overcome and we have prayer and the Sacraments to help us.

What's the Catholic version of Dominionist?

Catholic integralism is often compared to Islam and Christian fundamentalism.

 

[Feeding Crows]

Fundamentalists are the worst thing in this world! They will spell the death of everyone.

That's why I argue religion. We can't allow a religion to have nukes, or allow a country that follows a religion to have nukes.

It's too late already, i think. The next nuclear bomb will go off because of religion.

 

[Feeding Crows]

Pakistan/India that's my prediction.

 

[surada]

Pakistan/India that's my prediction.

I don't think so. They are in a stand off.

 

[Feeding Crows]

Yes, we hope!
