Atheists... Your life is pointless

Quote:

One passage in the bible actually says that your true bliss is found in bashing your children’s brains out on the rocks.

Where is the passage? Then we might be able to see for ourselves whether it speaks for itself. We can hardly be expected to take your word for that considering what had preceded it.

By the rivers of Babylon,
there we sat down, yea, we wept,
when we remembered Zion.
We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song;
and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying,
Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
If I forget thee, O Jerusalem,
let my right hand forget her cunning.
If I do not remember thee,
let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth;
if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom
in the day of Jerusalem;
who said, Rase it, rase it,
even to the foundation thereof.
O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed;
happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth
thy little ones against the stones.

Edom was a Semitic inhabited historical region of the Southern Levant located south of Judea and the Dead Sea. It is mentioned in biblical records as a 1st millennium BC Iron Age kingdom of Edom, and in classical antiquity the cognate name Idumea was used to refer to a smaller area in the same region. The name Edom means "red" in Hebrew, and was given to Esau, the eldest son of the Hebrew patriarch Isaac, once he ate the "red pottage", which the Bible used in irony at the fact he was born "red all over". The Torah, Tanakh and New Testament thus describe the Edomites as descendants of Esau.

A demagogue (/ˈdɛməɡɒɡ/) or rabble-rouser is a political leader in a democracy who appeals to the emotions, prejudices, and ignorance of the poorer and less-educated classes in order to gain power. Demagogues usually oppose deliberation and advocate immediate, violent action to address a national crisis; they accuse moderate and thoughtful opponents of weakness. Demagogues have appeared in democracies since ancient Athens. They exploit a fundamental weakness in democracy: because ultimate power is held by the people, nothing stops the people from giving that power to someone who appeals to the lowest common denominator of a large segment of the population.

it is common sense that abortion should be avoided but not at all costs..

I ought to have mentioned that besides there being no demagoguery there was no intelligence either. It's as simple as 2+2=4.

There was no need to bring religious people into the argument

Frank. I certainly had not done.

Did you engage in that nefarious trick for want of an argument?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if a majority of religious people enjoy confectionary, playing golf and wiping their arses on soft, velvety tissues. Are those items off your agenda because religious people engage with them?

Hitler thought that the trains should run on time.

Are you all in favour of the trains not running on time because Hitler thought they should?
