So explain to me how faith makes it clear? From what you have said you have no moral code, no rules or knowledge of your "God" just a blind faith that what you are doing is right and those that don't do as you do are wrong.
I don't care, do you? If you believe in "God" why no effort to please him? You believe in "God" yet don't care what it takes to join him in heaven? Are you actually a Christian at all, you can still believe in "God" yet not love him.
Far from it, I know exactly where I'm headed. Those who believe in an afterlife are the ones stumbling in the dark. You believe in an afterlife but have no idea what it will be, no way of knowing if "God" will let you into heaven or cast you down to hell. No way of knowing if you or the Muslims have got it right. Yet you criticise other religions without a clue that they might be right and you could be wrong.
"God" doesn't want anything, he doesn't exist. I'm asking you if you know what your "God" wants, and you clearly don't. Living your life with no purpose or direction, just a hope that when you die "God" decides he likes you? Don't you think you should even try to impress him?
Agree with what? You have just completely sidelined the question with a completely irellevant statement. Do you defy Christ?
If two groups take two opposing courses of action either one must be wrong, or "God" doesn't care what you do. Which is it? You claim moral superiority over Muslims, yet you also say that morality is man-made not "God" given. How do you justify your morality and your intollerance to Islam? All I was doing was making an observation based on logic.
Your "God", he makes it a bit tricky doesn't he?
Yes, I have a lot of time to spare though so don't worry about me. Shouldn't you be out making yourself a better person?
Life is all down to chance if their is no omnipresent power using divine intervention to guide man's destiny. You sound more and more atheist with every post you make.
You did:

To degrade means to treat with disrespect, so you brought up the issue of respect. And no I don't respect anyone who follows blindly, why should I?
I answered your question fully, you didn't even understand what you were asking! Now you think you can judge my moral standards without the slightest knowledge about myself and my lifestyle? There's that arrogance again, are you sure you're not atheist? Or what's the term for believing oneself is God?

Oh yes. Insanity. Very Happy

Faith doesn't make it clear. Who are you to say i have no moral code? Or whether i am right or wrong? How do you explain to a person who when asked about what he believes uses the one word cure all, Atheist. And probably believe's that it takes no faith to beleive it whathe does?

Quote where is said i cared? Don't put words in my mouth. You assume because i call myself a Christian it is by your definition, it is not. I'll believe what ever i want to believe and call myself what i like. And you have nothing to do with it, prime example of free will.

All this you speak of, is just your opinion. Can it be wrong, roughly 85% of this planet might indicate so. If like you say the Muslims are right, where does that leave you, an atheist? If the Christians are right, where does that leave you, an atheist? Best case scenario your screwed no matter what.

"God" doesn't want anything, he doesn't exist." You answered your own question. Again you do not define my definition of faith, define your own when and if you get one.

Isn't free will great. Using it i suppose i have to power to defy anyone. I don't know about Christ as you don't think he exists.

So if two groups are taking action in the same direction, one of them is wrong, explain how? Don't say it's what i believe because you have no proof i believe that. It must be what you believe i should believe in that is forcing the question, therefore you should answer it for yourself.
Quote:
You claim moral superiority over Muslims

Quote me where is claim such a thing?
Quote:
How do you justify your morality and your intollerance to Islam?

Show me where i was intolerant? Justify your morality of intolerence to Christianity? We already know you speak on behalf of muslims.
Quote:

You were doing a little more then that. Calling someones religous beliefs a "joke" goes beyond observation.

Not tricky at all, maybe for atheists though. Does the Muslim God make it tricky for them?

Me too. I am making myself a better person. I'm trying to talk sense into an atheist, LOL.

Why do you speculate about chance on the premise of there being no God. Chance is there regardless. Free will and all. For an atheist you have a vivid imagination. You like argueing about things you don't believe in for entertainment purposes. What would you rank your moral standard at?
Quote:

Wrong again,
degrade - Definitions from Dictionary.com
To reduce in grade, rank, or status; demote.
To lower in dignity; dishonor or disgrace: a scandal that degraded the participants.
To lower in moral or intellectual character; debase.
To reduce in worth or value: degrade a currency.
To impair in physical structure or function.
Geology To lower or wear by erosion or weathering.
To cause (an organic compound) to undergo degradation.

Nothing abour disrespect! Trying to throw a little spin in there heah, one more example of your fine atheistic moral standard?
So what your saying is i need not have any respect for an atheist? For the reason that you did not earn it?
Quote:
I answered your question fully, you didn't even understand what you were asking!

Really, where? I never asked about respect. You made comment of it. Changing the question from degrade to disrespect then to respect is not an answer. An example of your not so forth coming IMO.
Quote:
Now you think you can judge my moral standards without the slightest knowledge about myself and my lifestyle?

Like i said you not so forth coming with yourself. But to answer your question, Yes. I can judge your moral standards. And already came up with a few instances where the standard is not so high, IMO. Some one once said, respect is earned. If that is the case your going in the wrong direction.
Quote:
There's that arrogance again, are you sure you're not atheist?

What funny about this statement is that because you say your an atheist you think your not at fault. You come in here and degrade others in some thing you have no faith in. You already did what you accuse us of doing. I don't expect an atheist to get it. Do atheists have the market cornered on arrogance?
Quote:
Or what's the term for believing oneself is God?

Oh yes. Insanity.

You fit that term to a T. You claim no belief in God so in his absense wouldn't that make you yourown God? Insanity indeed!

Your morals are subjective, meaningless in the context of faith. Your morals are wrong if you believe in an omnipresent "God" who creates morality. Either you follow his morality or you don't, and fail. If you're not following your "God's" morality why should anyone else?

I don't care, it's for the purpose of this debate. And I'm asking you what you believe, but you won't spit it out. Too afraid? You're very defensive of your faith, is it because with absolutely no theological knowledge your faith is as groundless as the nut jobs who claim alien abduction?

I'm speaking on my behalf when it comes to atheism. "God" does not exist, by point of fact of definition. It doesn't involve faith in the word of man just the tangible knowledge of fact and science.

Wrong, you said morality was subjective. It's not my opinion it's yours. And if morality is subjective it is a fact that you are not following "God's" moral code, you are following your own. What makes your morality better than anyone elses? Try to answer the question this time.

Well rather than make half-arsed assumptions why don't you just stick to what is being said, which was a question. If I believed that you cared was a fact I wouldn't bother asking would I? :beat:
The fact is if you do not care for Christ, you are not a Christian in the standard definition. So what the hell are you?

No, I assure you it's ignorance. How am I supposed to know your faith if you don't tell me? I was assuming you were a Christian, but just using the label doesn't actually make you one. You are also a non-practicing muslim, hindu, homosexual(?) etc, etc......

Nice question avoidance once more. So your freewill is to choose to use the label Christian but not to actually practice your religion? Why do you choose to do this? From the little I know of Christian teaching this will not get you into heaven, you may as well be an atheist, or a muslim.

You said I answered my own question with the answer that God does not exist. I asked you what "God" wanted and you said the answer was he doesn't want anything he doesn't exist. If that is what you believe then you are also an atheist, if that isn't what you meant please try to answer the question properly insted of arsing around. :beat:

If you don't know what you're talking about then I certainly don't, are you in some way mentally retarded? My beliefs are firstly irellevant and secondly quite apparent.

As it happens even with my limited knowledge of the Christian faith I know what is supposed to be required to gain entry to heaven. But as I couldn't give a ****, and don't believe it why should I bother?

Wrong! You don't practice any faith, and obviously don't understand it either. What is the book of Revelations if not the propchecy of man's destiny? If you believe in the Bible you must believe that destiny exists, but you have already said you are Christian by name alone so I guess you don't.

@Professor Chaos,
If there is one right way to do anything why hasn't there been a booming voice from a bush in my lifetime to tell us what it is....Religion is a collection of opinion papers that try to force one modus operandi on everybody...belief is what one blogger said it was......belief ..........It is about homogeny not Hades ...Morality is evolves from necessity...food is short so stealing it becomes a crime...making it with another man's wife leads to jealously, betrayal, murder and doubt of the resulting child's parenthood......so it is banned....True morality attempts to limit the harm people do to each other and maximize the good...anything else is window dressing and until a real booming voice from a burning bush tells me otherwise that is what I believe

Well rather than make half-arsed assumptions why don't you just stick to what is being said, which was a question. If I believed that you cared was a fact I wouldn't bother asking would I? :beat:
The fact is if you do not care for Christ, you are not a Christian in the standard definition. So what the hell are you?
The thread isn't about me, it's about Christianity and it's hypocrisy. Try to stay on topic, if you want to discuss atheism start a thread on it.
No, I assure you it's ignorance. How am I supposed to know your faith if you don't tell me? I was assuming you were a Christian, but just using the label doesn't actually make you one. You are also a non-practicing muslim, hindu, homosexual(?) etc, etc......
If you don't practice the religion you can hardly say you belong to it.
Nice question avoidance once more. So your freewill is to choose to use the label Christian but not to actually practice your religion? Why do you choose to do this? From the little I know of Christian teaching this will not get you into heaven, you may as well be an atheist, or a muslim.
You said I answered my own question with the answer that God does not exist. I asked you what "God" wanted and you said the answer was he doesn't want anything he doesn't exist. If that is what you believe then you are also an atheist, if that isn't what you meant please try to answer the question properly insted of arsing around. :beat:
So you just avoid the question and post utter bollocks? Drnaline, we are not going to get very far if you just talk bollocks, so perhaps you are right in this being a waste of time.
If you don't know what you're talking about then I certainly don't, are you in some way mentally retarded? My beliefs are firstly irellevant and secondly quite apparent. I am an atheist, you already know this so what are you babbling about now you loon? I already told you to stay on topic, stop trying to hijack this thread trolling it with your nonsense. If you want to discuss atheism start a seperate thread.
Your questions have been made to steer the debate away from the thread topic and onto atheism. Bog standard diversionary tactic to steer away from your losing argument. :beat:




Do you agree with it, or do you take moral superiority?
You will have to cite examples of my intollerance or shut up about it then, your opinion is worthless to me.I wasn't trying to excuse it, I was explaining that it isn't intollerance and that you are talking out of your arse.
As it happens even with my limited knowledge of the Christian faith I know what is supposed to be required to gain entry to heaven. But as I couldn't give a ****, and don't believe it why should I bother?

Does it matter? Your questions are irellevant and merely used to distract away from your own failings, those being your complete ignorance of your own supposed faith. Without your cooperation I can only deduce from what you will say, and so far you have denounced "God" and claimed moral superiority over all other men. And shown you are a novice with the english language, both reading and writing it.

Do what you want, but if you wish to retract your statement about not believing "God" exists and answer the question properly it might show you to be more than an atheist. At present you still agree that "God" doesn't exist, so you are in fact an atheist. 3-0

@Professor Chaos,
People do cruel things in the name of religion and for reasons that are best described as kind of regressive. People do cruel things without the need for religion to justify their actions.
That is what this thread seems to be about. Its obvious intention is to p*** people off enough to metaphorically speaking yell and scream at each other and it suceeded.

You may be a wonderful person, I'm sure you all are, but here on earth (you may take that to mean whatever you want) your worth as a person has nothing to do with what religion you swear alleigaince to or don't swear to. It is how you treat your fellow human beings that counts. It is how you raise your kids and handle your responsibilities to others that count. Its the effort you put into leaving more behind than you take from the earth that counts. Following a religious set of rules is good for a lot of people, but if you do harm in the name of those beliefs simply because you refused to apply logic of the situation to them then you are not a moral person...In whatever form Diety exists I'm sure they "furrow their brows in mighty anger" every time someone uses them as an excuse for the cruelty they commit in their name

No, why do you? If you do I suggest buying a dictionary and asking someone to read the definition of hypocrisy to you. Then ask them to explain that definition to you. Then, God willing, you will understand that it is not hypocritical for an atheist to discuss or debate religion. As God doesn't exist I am confident you will remain ignorant, it would appear to require divine intervention before you even begun to understand this thread.

The point would be that Christians don't have a preferred method. But Americans are renouned for their lack of irony and you are a prime example of that. I will try to explain to you once more that the opening post was implying that Christians do not follow the Bible as they don't kill their children.

I still don't see why I would care about living a Christian lifestyle. For resources of debate I mostly care about conflicting beliefs and hypocrisy in the Christian faith, not really much need to research the lifestyle part.

If you aren't going to bother rebutting any of my remarks or claims, what are you babbling on about?

I'll start afresh so you might understand better.

Christians don't follow the Bible closely, they make decisions which practically overrule "God" and live as they choose following a man made subjective morality.

Muslims on the other hand seem to follow the Koran to the letter believing it to be the literal word of God.

With regards to religion, which I disagree with anyway, at least the Muslims have faith strong enough to follow even the dumbest of rules, Christians on the other hand seem far more particular. In my opinion the Muslims show a stronger faith and I commend them for having the courage of their convictions, rather than ammending the parts that didn't suit them.

If you dispute any of this Drnaline then you could try to rebut the arguments, but I think you'll find that you at least are unable to do so.

It must only be clear to atheists because when i put a title on a new post it means that is the topic. Which is "children" how many posts have you made in this thread with such a topic in mind? What is your preferred method of child euthanization? Have you ever caused a women to get an abortion?
On a side note, why don't you start your own thread with the title of children and talk all you like about how hipocritical us Christians are, oh wait, let be turn back into an atheist speaking for Christians.

No, you deny the existence of God, i'm Christian, you atheist. Are you always this confused? Can you quote me where i say "morals are man made?" i can't find it.

Please show where I, me personally deny the existence of God? Me saying it not me quoting you? You proof of this perception will determine how much if any you assumed.

Well you thought wrong.
Not according to the title.

No, why do you? If you do I suggest buying a dictionary and asking someone to read the definition of hypocrisy to you. Then ask them to explain that definition to you. Then, God willing, you will understand that it is not hypocritical for an atheist to discuss or debate religion. As God doesn't exist I am confident you will remain ignorant, it would appear to require divine intervention before you even begun to understand this thread.


Amen!

The point would be that Christians don't have a preferred method. But Americans are renouned for their lack of irony and you are a prime example of that. I will try to explain to you once more that the opening post was implying that Christians do not follow the Bible as they don't kill their children. It implies that the Bible is full of useless passage that Christians choose to ignore. You can prove me wrong of course, simply reveal the preferred method that Christians kill children.

Abortion. What do you think the Muslim preference is?

I still don't see why I would care about living a Christian lifestyle. For resources of debate I mostly care about conflicting beliefs and hypocrisy in the Christian faith, not really much need to research the lifestyle part.

If you aren't going to bother rebutting any of my remarks or claims, what are you babbling on about?

I'll start afresh so you might understand better.

Christians don't follow the Bible closely, they make decisions which practically overrule "God" and live as they choose following a man made subjective morality.

Muslims on the other hand seem to follow the Koran to the letter believing it to be the literal word of God.

With regards to religion, which I disagree with anyway, at least the Muslims have faith strong enough to follow even the dumbest of rules, Christians on the other hand seem far more particular. In my opinion the Muslims show a stronger faith and I commend them for having the courage of their convictions, rather than ammending the parts that didn't suit them.

If you dispute any of this Drnaline then you could try to rebut the arguments, but I think you'll find that you at least are unable to do so.

Your confused, unwilling is more likely then unable. Just giving what i get. talk to ya later.

@Professor Chaos,
Guys this back and forth takes up entire pages. If your going to make it personal please start a new post....with each new point or each two or three points.
Personally I'm not interested in any contradictions of any faith's historic documents with modern thought. The contradictory message of those who claim their book is to be taken literally and ignore sections that are clearly barbaric by modern standards that matters most.
Morality plays are meant to teach ideas and it is only when people take human interpratation of these ideas literally and make them into divine law that cannot be questioned, analyzed or applied to modern life by an intellectual process that religion becomes tyranny...Sometimes the ideas, divine or man made are more important than their literal meaning.
You can debate the validity of individual religions and schools of thought until Bill Clinton becomes a monk or Newt Gringrich joins the Grateful Dead revival, no one will make any head way because in the end both arguments are based on emotion and personal experience....Your arguing about allegory that was never meant to be taken literally...........

Then i must be speaking for atheists. Putting words in people's mouths again? What don't you understand, I am the Christian and your ate the atheist/Muslim.
Well the simple truth is I don't understand "I am the Christian and your ate the atheist/Muslim" because it doesn't make any sense. Just as you have already admitted, you are talking gibberish yet again. :beat:

This debate might get further if you knew the same language as the majority.
Drnaline wrote:

It must only be clear to atheists because when i put a title on a new post it means that is the topic.
It's nothing to do with be atheist, it's clear to anyone who understands English. Title means name, not topic. :beat:
Drnaline wrote:

Which is "children" how many posts have you made in this thread with such a topic in mind?
Already rebutted. Title doesn't mean topic. You don't understand the topic.
Drnaline wrote:
What is your preferred method of child euthanization? Have you ever caused a women to get an abortion?
None of your business, it is irellevant at any rate.
Drnaline wrote:

On a side note, why don't you start your own thread with the title of children and talk all you like about how hipocritical us Christians are, oh wait, let be turn back into an atheist speaking for Christians. It also appears to me a real man can talk about atheism in any thread, not wait for some one else to start one?
So you're somehow afraid of starting a thread on atheism? Why is that?
Drnaline wrote:

Prove it!
Prove what?
Drnaline wrote:

Nope some of the stupidest believe in God, Some of them also believe in atheism.
You missed the point again. It doesn't require faith to have an understanding of religion, and it seems you don't need an understanding of religion to have faith. Although just what your supposed faith is I have no idea.
Drnaline wrote:

Atheist or atheist speaking for Muslims? If it is Muslim, i'd like to know Allahs prefered method of killing children? Kinda hard to ask an atheist that when there not hiding behind another religion.
I've already told you, this has no relevance to the debate. Try to keep up. :beat:

No, you deny the existence of God, i'm Christian, you atheist. Are you always this confused? Can you quote me where i say "morals are man made?" i can't find it.

If it were Gods job we wouldn't need free will. What tells you whether you are doing good or bad? Is it not your person? You can use a book as a reference but the moral decision is still the same.
So morality comes from free will, you understand that that means man chooses his own morality using free will don't you? Or are you going to rebut this as just another case of you talking gibberish?
Drnaline wrote:

I did state that man creats his own destiny whether he involves god or not. If i'm not up to your atheistic view of Christian, heah i can live with myself, a shame you can't.
Well you seem to think I have some sort of intollerance towards Christians. I think I have already asked you to show where I have been intollerant towards Christianity and you failed. Most likely because your belief that I am intollerant is as flawed as your belief in "God". I will challenge you again to show my intollerance but I know I'm wasting my time. You are clearly some paranoid redneck with a chip on their shoulder.
Regarding Christian destiny, it's not my approval you should be looking for. You claim to be Christian, but considering your claims on destiny, morality and some more gibberish where you inadvertently(?) denied the existence of "God", I think it's the white haired old man in the clouds you want to be seeking approval from, or his self appointed representatives on earth at least. You don't understand basic Christian theology, I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you Drnaline but you don't practice or understand Christianity in anyway similar to how Christian theologists have prescribed. What do you do, turn up to church, wear a "Jesus is my homeboy" badge and just expect to gain entry to heaven?

**** it! I might give it a go if it's that easy! Laughing

Haven't I already done this? Well here is what you said:
Drnaline wrote:
"God" doesn't want anything, he doesn't exist." You answered your own question.
You quote me then tell me the statement is correct. So you agree with the statement. So you deny the existence of "God". Understand? Or will you pass this off as more gibberish?
Drnaline wrote:

You don't understand the word. Ever heard the phrase "don't judge a book by it's cover"? The same applies, my name is Morningstarr, the same name as the man to first translate the Bible into English. Do you think that's what I'm about?
Drnaline wrote:

Amen!
Still don't understand hypocrisy then? Or title? Or destiny? is this 7 or 8-0? I'm losing count.
Drnaline wrote:

So the preferred Christian method to kill their children is abortion? Very interesting. The opening post actually asks what the most efficient method is for killing children when they misbehave, as per Jesus' instructions. Let this be a valuable lesson in reading the topic rather than just the title and jumping to conclusions.

@Professor Chaos,
Morningstarr, I am not Christian, because I do not believe God is defined, nor do I believe he has taught us everything. IMO he showed us what we needed to know in the manner which we would understand. That belief alone separates me from any Catholic faith. Not being of any particular faith, I am relieved from the duty of following doctrine.
Quote:

So the word of the Bible is really quite meaningless, all one has to do to get into heaven is make a genuine effort to please God? Even if you genuinely believe that torturing and murdering women is God's will? How bad can these mistakes be?


The bible isn't meaningless, at least not to me, it helps me think, gives me a christian perspective, I take my own. If you truely don't know any other way, to choose to ignore another way is diferent, I don't believe God would condem you for it. You see me and you believe, blessed are those who without seeing believed. It goes something like that.

Quote:
So, providing you have no conscience you can do whatever you like and God will not punish you? That's not the Catholic view is it?


I have never met anyone without one, you?

Quote:
How can you force belief? Either you believe or you don't, based on subjective opinion. If God does exist his precence would be objective and their would be no choice regarding belief, that is what faith is.


Yes, that is what belief is, but are they given any other options as what to believe in?

Quote:

So how are you supposed to get into Heaven? Trail and error? Surely the Bible is meant to show you the way, and free will is whether or not you follow this path?


Free-will is to choose what path to follow, be it your own or someelses. Yes trial and error, do you have any other solution?

Quote:
If God is the all powerfull all seeing super being he's cracked up to be, why does he allow mere mortals to speak on his behalf?


Because we are all diferent, you can't use the same solution to diferent problems.

Quote:
I have morals without faith, how does that work then?


To me that works perfectly, because you do have faith, faith in your own opinion.

And if you are wrong, and what you say goes against Christianity, you will be judged to be a sinner and sent to hell. If you accept Christ surely you must do his bidding? Are you saying you're a Christian but don't follow "God's" rules too?

So there are no rules to being a Christian? The Bible is merely guidelines and you can actually do whatever you please? So how do you get into heaven then? It sounds pretty easy.

A sociopath? I have had the good fortune to personally meet the UK's most prolific serial killer, so I would say I have, yes.

Muslims? In the free west they certainly have options.


markx15 wrote:

Most religions produce a doctrine which must be followed, that is what religion is and why different faiths don't see eye to eye. Muslims say you must follow the Koran, Christians say you must follow the Bible. If you were allowed to do anything you pleased there would be no point to religion.


markx15 wrote:

But there is only one problem, how to get into heaven, that only requires one solution. What is the purpose of morality if it is unique to each person?


markx15 wrote:

But you previously said that wanting a moral life came from faith in "God" not oneself. You've just changed your tune.

The main point which you failed to respond was the query over why "God" would give a set of commandments, and the Bible be produced, if Christians don't have to follow a set of rules? And if you are supposed to follow these rules in order to be a true Christian, why do people like Drnaline do as they please, invent their own morality and rules and still claim to be Christians?

When mere mortals began rewritting the Bible, and reinterpreting it to meet their own needs they were inaffect overruling "God's" will with their free will. Unless I'm seriously mistaken this has ruled them out of ever getting into heaven.
