We’re just animals, killing and rape is natural. We don’t do it because there are (usually) negative consequences, but what if there aren’t? Isn’t that why we kill animals? And invade weaker countries? If you were the most powerful man on the planet, then you could get away with lots of things, like raping kids on a secret island. But if God exists, and hell exists, then these actions are always bad, because the consequences always exist.

so rapes and murders occur unnaturally, ok. the atheist view is that your conscious forbids you from doing things instead of god, but the truth is we've all done things we regret, but as long as an atheist can forgive himself later it's easier to do what he wants today than it would be if he had a deity to answer to eternally.

People have all sorts of instincts but instincts don't define what is morally right or wrong. An atheist may not want to rape anyone but they'd be within their right to rape someone if they did want to. This is the basis of moral relativism.
Because you have no coherent basis for morality. Moral relativism reduces morality to being as inconsequential as your favorite ice cream flavor because it's all opinion. So if someone does something immoral it's akin to just being mildly displeased with it and nothing beyond the base emotion, and anything and everything can be considered moral or immoral since it's entirely relative to the individual person. So in other words if a refugee rapes your daughter the only thing you can say about that is that you aren't a fan of it but other than that there's no argument you can make from a basis of morality against it since his desire to rape is just as valid as your disgust of rape if you're a moral relativist.
YHWH will let you rape a believer but also forgive and welcome that rapist if he later opens his heart to him. Creating a situation where that rapist would serve no divine equivalent of prison time and would end up enjoying paradise forever alongsides their rape victim.
If you truly believe in Christ you wouldn't deliberately commit sin and try to lawyer your way out of judgement, he spent practically his whole life fighting the idea of only following the letter of the law and not the spirit of the law, or does that not make sense?
God commands rape and murder several times in the Bible. On what basis can Christians say that either of these things is wrong? After all, God cannot cause people to sin according to Christian doctrine.
The "you need god for morality" argument is dumb. If there was no God, then there would also be no reason to do Communion, but that would be perfectly fine because it only has an extrinsic value for its role in religion, you could still eat crackers and drink wine at home. Likewise, if morality was only real because it's commanded by God, then you wouldn't lose anything by not having God, if it only had an extrinsic value. But if there's something intrinsic to morality, that makes it something we wouldn't want to lose, then that value is what sustains it. People would want it and enforce social norms to make you internalize feelings of guilt and feel good living a just moral life. Laws would continue to exist that punish immorality.
I can sort of understand the argument that religion adds extra incentive to be good, but that's not a good basis for enforcing morality because religion is an opt-in social system, basically making morality opt-in as well. Serial killers can just choose to stop believing in God and then they won't have to worry about Hell. Even people who want to be sincere can shop for religions to find something that already aligns with their values, which takes away religion as a governing force in their lives because they have control over their religion.
An atheist can not formulate anything of value without a hypnotical scenario as a foundation to any form of knowlege they try to cultivate or construct , may it be an argument or a statement , it is the religion of nothing after all .

>its about without a higher meaning such as God it is easy to dehumanize your fellow man.
Bitch, it's precisely Christianity that dehumanizes people. The idea that no matter how moral you behave you deserve eternal torture by virtue of not having met someone who gave you a good reason to believe is the single most dehumanizing thing ever. Christians spend their entire lives bragging about how they're saved, they have the spirit, they have the revelation, they have eternal life and all that and how everyone else has no salvation, no soul and (you know I'm not making that up) are literally dead. Like walking corpses.
But it's atheists who dehumanize people left and right?
Its not dehumanizing, it is "Justice" you dont have to like it but within the framework of Christianity there is a reason to be civil toward your fellow man and to recognize his value, it is beyond the mere biological contest humans are forced into by cruel nature.
You may not like it, you may think its untrue, sure sure whatever, but regardless, Christianity within its own framework, is consistent with a good will toward men ethic.
No such thing exists with "atheism".
There is no reason to leave the sphere of cruel nature.
>it's not dehumanizing if i redefine dehumanizing to mean not being christian
Your religion deserves its decline. Something God would have prevented if he existed.
God allows challenges for a reason. He's allowing his religion to be weakened because it's representatives were losing their way, we need the wake up call. Just you wait, it'll make it's comeback.
Demons are not humans, and there is no sin in doing harm towards demons. Their very existence is an insult to God so they need to be exterminated to the last spawn to create a better world.
We've literally been evolutionarily put together to want to kill other virile men in warfare and then help ourselves to their wives and womenfolks pussies as a reward for winning the battle.
Judeo-RabbiYeshua-Worship, Much like Judaism and Islam with its shared 'messianic', eschatological outlook, essentially thinks that if we're all good enough goyim cattle slaves to YHWH and follow some set of arbitrary, idealist 'rules of life' - That the magic israelite in the sky will cast a spell and mans nature as an animal will just 'stop' and we'll become 'perfect', But this causes mental strife within us because that's obviously just not POSSIBLE!

>accuses Islam of being a israeli plot >in the next sentence mentions that Muslims killed/invaded/raped israelites
Did you even stop to think about what you wrote before hitting Post?
You're probably just shitposting but it really does appear that a lot of Christians believe this. They also believe the ten commandments were revolutionary and stopped people from killing out of fear of god. But that's beyond fricking moronic, killing was seen as wrong and morality existed and laws far more fleshed out and ancient and superior existed. The ten commandments are quite primitive, childish, and of little value. They're also negatively authoritative which just encourages people to want to break them. There ten commandments are stupid and any Christian who has them framed on a wall is beyond saving and will burn in hell for degenerating to israelite testament dogma. And some think morality exists because Christians fear going to hell. To that I wonder if a lot of these "people" are sociopaths and lacking empathy and in need of laws to stop their lack of frontal lobe activity from taking things too far?

>yeah umm akshually
Do I need to explain to you (again) why it does not matter if you personally disagree with the ethics of Christianity, it is the subjective consistency of the Christianity that matters.
atheism has no subjective consistency which vindicates a humanization of your fellow man, it permits only cruel nature.
Whereas within Christianity there is something beyond nature. >but to me God seems bad
he can seem that way to you personally, but thats just your personal ethical system clashing with God, it doesnt refute the general principle of Christianity being outside of nature and therefore having the ability to go beyond the cruelty of nature.
Its not that Christianity is moral that matters, its that Christianity can possibly be moral, it is possible for Christianity to be moral.
Its not possible for atheism to reach beyond nature.
The israelites worship a demon that looks like a donkey, and whose secret name is the sound made by donkeys. What would you expect from something like that?
Christianity has no objective basis to condemn any of those crimes either. It literally comes down to "God said so"and even then God commands his followers to murder and rape their enemies multiple times in the Bible. Christians don't believe in objective morality.

you have it backwards, people become religious to cope with trauma from witnessing rape and murder, people don't rape and murder people as a result of their religious beliefs typically
rich people who live in safety have nothing to cope about, why do you think the poorer ghettoized regions of the U.S. are typically the most religious? well it's probably for no reason i guess

God isn't a man, doesn't actually have a beard, or a physical body for the matter, and isn't in the sky. These things are symbolic depictions. God is depicted as a man because of the way his patriarchal nature frames him as something similar to a father figure to all of creation, he has a beard and looks old to symbolize his wisdom, the heavens are depicted among the clouds because the idea of a better, perfect place is understood as being "higher" than our current world in an abstract sense. Inability to understand symbolism is the real low IQ trait.

As a Christian, this is one of the worst arguments I have heard. There are plenty of non-religious reasons not to rape and murder, which most reasonable people will agree with. The better argument is that a theological argument affirms and explicates these commonly-held truths into universal eternal moral principles.
An atheist that doesnpt rape is merely a coward. There is literally no reason not to murder and rape unless you secretly believe there exists a god that will smite jugdement upon you.
>There are no consequences outside of invisible sky father
What the fricking shit?
Are you some kind of fricking hermit? How did you get access to the internet?
There are no consequences if you can avoid the law. Atheists do not do so because they are cowards that secretly believe in an omniscient god that will punihs them for their sins
The utter projection. You literally have third worlders being imported en mass just to rape women and loot and burn down stores and you're over here acting like it's 1982 or something, and I wouldn't be surprised if you actively support this lunacy. Atheists have failed to comprehend the importance of morality and that human beings aren't inherently nice people and have doomed everyone because of this utterly lack of comprehension. The world isn't this gilded cage of a bubble where you drink soiilent and watch rick and morty for the millionth time, people have more important shit to live for beyond your shallow and selfish desires, and you fundamentally do not care in the slightest.

Atheism is slave morality. Doing moral work without expecting payment is literally what a slave does, work without pay. Atheists who make any moral claims are stupid and too cowardly for full committment.
This is a strawman.
The claim isn't that we all deep down believe that these things are fine and we only don't do it cause God, but rather that, without an appeal to a higher authority, morality is functionally demoted to whatever we can collectively agree upon, which is, frankly speaking, not as solid of a foundation as atheists think.
Human's are entirely corruptible. The secularization of morality may not have any immediately destructive consequences for morality but it certainly weakens its foundation and turns it into something open to disagreement, scrutiny, and revisions. As it inevitably changes over time, bit by bit the flawed nature of humanity's whims will begin to influence morality for the worst. I'm astounded there are still people who deny this when you can see it happening so clearly right in front of your very eyes, things which people argued would never change in the public eye HAVE changed over the course of generations simply because the possibility of change was put on the table to begin with. Human's downright aren't smart enough to create a functional moral system through nothing but their own moral intuition, YOU may very well still believe rape is wrong without believing in God, but why should your children? You can probably make an argument for it, but they can argue back. Who are you to say their counterpoints are wrong? You're no God. Why should they share your values? Why shouldn't they disregard the well being of others for their own pleasure? Cause it's good? Nice circular argument you got there pal. Reality is, you rely on the people around you and the sentiments you were brought up under for your morality much more than you think, and by demoting these sentiments to the status of man-made rather than God imparted then you're inevitably giving prideful men all the justification they ever needed to just make up their own system, and others will follow so long as it suits their whims. It opens the flood gates.
There have unironically been plenty of cases where i saw an attractive girl on the street and thought to myself "I would rape her if there weren't any laws to protect her"
>the vast majority of humanity struggles with such things and are often not ethical liberals but cavemen in modern clothing, with all wants, aspirations, hospitality, and all the vengeful disdain, and juvenile cruelty a pre-Western man would have
So I see now. Christians believe humans are like dogs that need to be kept on a leash and be beat with a hard rod so that they do not cause harm unto other humans. Christians don't believe humans are different from animals, except in their ability to communicate through languages.
The consequences are less severe, though. If you could get away with it, and it didn’t bother you, it is justified in atheism.
How does not believing there's an invisible magic israelite in the sky justify rape and murder?

Did you even stop to think about what you wrote before hitting Post?
People raped and murdered in the past. It's only because of Christian morality that we see it as bad nowadays.
You're probably just shitposting but it really does appear that a lot of Christians believe this. They also believe the ten commandments were revolutionary and stopped people from killing out of fear of god. But that's beyond fricking moronic, killing was seen as wrong and morality existed and laws far more fleshed out and ancient and superior existed. The ten commandments are quite primitive, childish, and of little value. They're also negatively authoritative which just encourages people to want to break them. There ten commandments are stupid and any Christian who has them framed on a wall is beyond saving and will burn in hell for degenerating to israelite testament dogma. And some think morality exists because Christians fear going to hell. To that I wonder if a lot of these "people" are sociopaths and lacking empathy and in need of laws to stop their lack of frontal lobe activity from taking things too far?
Nietzsche , the genealogy of morals
A lot closer to being literally me than I would like
>Oh my if
Atheists jerk off to "if" porn as a form of worship to if-eus ; the god of atheists
How would you feel if you didn't have breakfast this morning?
I would feel grief
grieving over the non-happening , the delusion .
tis but the curse of if-eus the devil
i cast his venomous speech craft by either having breakfast
Or ?
If-eus will keep if-ing , making my hunger more terrible thus i become bad whereas naturally I'm good
i will delve in forms of ignorance .
for that ignorance is the source of every bad
seems to me that this if-eus is an arrogant prick who thinks he could if his way out of everything .
arrogance is the greatest form of ignorance however , humans do evil not because of no muh empathy , frick the crapic if-ism terminology ; evil is sourced from ignorance , tis when a human delude himself too much
If-eus is a delusion generator , the cumulation of ifs makes the human a deluded frickwit
Oh anon , but some humans are just an incarnation of if-eus himself
>its about without a higher meaning such as God it is easy to dehumanize your fellow man.
Doesn't Yahweh expressly command the israelites to exterminate the women, children, and livestock of their enemies with genocidal fury, and get ANGRY when they showed mercy?
>yeah umm akshually
Do I need to explain to you (again) why it does not matter if you personally disagree with the ethics of Christianity, it is the subjective consistency of the Christianity that matters.
atheism has no subjective consistency which vindicates a humanization of your fellow man, it permits only cruel nature.
Whereas within Christianity there is something beyond nature.
>but to me God seems bad
he can seem that way to you personally, but thats just your personal ethical system clashing with God, it doesnt refute the general principle of Christianity being outside of nature and therefore having the ability to go beyond the cruelty of nature.
Its not that Christianity is moral that matters, its that Christianity can possibly be moral, it is possible for Christianity to be moral.
Its not possible for atheism to reach beyond nature.
>Whereas within Christianity there is something beyond nature.
Yes, something beyond nature that actively COMMANDS cruelty.
The israelites worship a demon that looks like a donkey, and whose secret name is the sound made by donkeys. What would you expect from something like that?
I don't think that's Yahweh and Asherah, I think that's Bes and Bestet.
>if god was not real, I would rape and murder
The hero, and THE most real person you've ever met in your life. Turns around one day, and asks you to squeek his nose...
....Before taking grabbing a 15 year old girl by the pussy.
What do you do?
Christianity is so fricking gay. Who's with me?
Why not? It's all just meat at the end of the day.
Animated meat.... but meat non-the-less.
I've already killed a man regardless. it is what it is
Christianity has no objective basis to condemn any of those crimes either. It literally comes down to "God said so"and even then God commands his followers to murder and rape their enemies multiple times in the Bible. Christians don't believe in objective morality.

You have to control for IQ. Christians commit the least crime in literally every country, but the crime rate of Christians globally is boosted by low IQ African countries.
Because American prisons are full of atheists. Of course.
Because American prisons are full of high IQ individuals. Of course.
Because there isn't a negative correlation between religiosity and IQ. Of course.
Positive correlation between irreligiosity and transgenderism
At least you made sure everyone knew trannies live in your head rent free.
Now try posting again without crying.
When you post without projecting.
Samegay
There is also a high correlation between religiosity, Black folks, prison time, transgenderism, violent crime and low iq. Just say Black person instead of atheist next time.
There is, that's my whole point. You have to control for IQ to see what effects religions actually have on criminality.
Hmm, I wonder if high IQ people tend to make more or less income...
>Christians commit the least crime in literally every country
The US prison population is disproportionately Christian. Maybe people wouldn't run away from your religion if you didn't have to lie in such absurdly pathetic ways to defend it.
or maybe people become Christian in prison. maybe people "become Christian" because they think it'll get them out of prison faster. when people are on death row and "convert", many times people will try to get them released because they "changed" or whatever.
What part of "control for IQ" do you people not understand?
Low IQ atheists commit more crime than low IQ Christians, high IQ atheist commit more crime than high IQ Christians. But low IQ people commit far more crime than high IQ people and Christians are disproportionally low IQ.
>What part of "control for IQ" do you people not understand?
The part where Christianity being a low-IQ religion makes it look any better.
It makes it look better because the Christian factor appears to make people less likely to rape and murder.
Cope.
No argument.
I merely responded proportionally to the evidence you presented. Not my problem if it makes you ass mad.
Fair enough.

you have it backwards, people become religious to cope with trauma from witnessing rape and murder, people don't rape and murder people as a result of their religious beliefs typically
rich people who live in safety have nothing to cope about, why do you think the poorer ghettoized regions of the U.S. are typically the most religious? well it's probably for no reason i guess
You also need to be low IQ to sincerely accept the idea of a bearded man in the sky.
God isn't a man, doesn't actually have a beard, or a physical body for the matter, and isn't in the sky. These things are symbolic depictions. God is depicted as a man because of the way his patriarchal nature frames him as something similar to a father figure to all of creation, he has a beard and looks old to symbolize his wisdom, the heavens are depicted among the clouds because the idea of a better, perfect place is understood as being "higher" than our current world in an abstract sense. Inability to understand symbolism is the real low IQ trait.
>god is depicted as a man because muh symbolism
god appears to one of the prophets in the bible as a literal old bearded man
>heavens are depicted among the clouds because muh abstraction
The tower of babel aimed to pierce the heavens, and god was so concerned by this that the bearded man confused the tongues of the human race so that they couldn't reach the sky.
>low IQ trait.
But enough about religiosity, which negatively correlates with IQ, because religious people sincerely believe in bearded men in the sky.
>He reads the bible literally
Even the earliest church fathers knew not to do this. As I said, you simply suffer from a refusal to understand things allegorically or symbolically. Tell me, when someone says they're so hungry that they could eat a cow, do you correct them?
>losing to iron chariots was just a metaphor
>Ancients christcucks held the sophisticated view that their holy book was just metaphorical (not the resurrection, of course), while ancient pagancucks literally believed in men and women on top of a mountain turning mortals into various animals, and while christcucks today literally believe in bearded men in the sky
>>rape and murder are no longer punished by death
You can thank the Quakers for this
Yes.
If God isn't real, why is it wrong to rape and murder?
That is exactly what used to happen before Christian values were revealed to the world.
As a Christian, this is one of the worst arguments I have heard. There are plenty of non-religious reasons not to rape and murder, which most reasonable people will agree with. The better argument is that a theological argument affirms and explicates these commonly-held truths into universal eternal moral principles.
my intuition that rape and murder are wrong is why i believe a higher power exists.
An atheist that doesnpt rape is merely a coward. There is literally no reason not to murder and rape unless you secretly believe there exists a god that will smite jugdement upon you.
>There are no consequences outside of invisible sky father
What the fricking shit?
Are you some kind of fricking hermit? How did you get access to the internet?
There are no consequences if you can avoid the law. Atheists do not do so because they are cowards that secretly believe in an omniscient god that will punihs them for their sins
The utter projection. You literally have third worlders being imported en mass just to rape women and loot and burn down stores and you're over here acting like it's 1982 or something, and I wouldn't be surprised if you actively support this lunacy. Atheists have failed to comprehend the importance of morality and that human beings aren't inherently nice people and have doomed everyone because of this utterly lack of comprehension. The world isn't this gilded cage of a bubble where you drink soiilent and watch rick and morty for the millionth time, people have more important shit to live for beyond your shallow and selfish desires, and you fundamentally do not care in the slightest.
It's not third worlders burning down chicago. That's black people. You know, the people who are not immigrants.
they do as migrants do, get invited to your country in good faith and treated as equals with full social welfare from the treasury then they go OOGA BOOGA, just like muslims and africans in europe
>>if god was real, I would rape and murder
>An atheist that doesnpt rape is merely a coward. There is literally no reason not to murder and rape unless you secretly believe there exists a god that will smite jugdement upon you.
Atheism is slave morality. Doing moral work without expecting payment is literally what a slave does, work without pay. Atheists who make any moral claims are stupid and too cowardly for full committment.
>>if i had no fear , I would rape and murder
all morality derives from fear
You are thinking purely in groups, which is ridiculous. People are individuals.
This is a strawman.
The claim isn't that we all deep down believe that these things are fine and we only don't do it cause God, but rather that, without an appeal to a higher authority, morality is functionally demoted to whatever we can collectively agree upon, which is, frankly speaking, not as solid of a foundation as atheists think.
Human's are entirely corruptible. The secularization of morality may not have any immediately destructive consequences for morality but it certainly weakens its foundation and turns it into something open to disagreement, scrutiny, and revisions. As it inevitably changes over time, bit by bit the flawed nature of humanity's whims will begin to influence morality for the worst. I'm astounded there are still people who deny this when you can see it happening so clearly right in front of your very eyes, things which people argued would never change in the public eye HAVE changed over the course of generations simply because the possibility of change was put on the table to begin with. Human's downright aren't smart enough to create a functional moral system through nothing but their own moral intuition, YOU may very well still believe rape is wrong without believing in God, but why should your children? You can probably make an argument for it, but they can argue back. Who are you to say their counterpoints are wrong? You're no God. Why should they share your values? Why shouldn't they disregard the well being of others for their own pleasure? Cause it's good? Nice circular argument you got there pal. Reality is, you rely on the people around you and the sentiments you were brought up under for your morality much more than you think, and by demoting these sentiments to the status of man-made rather than God imparted then you're inevitably giving prideful men all the justification they ever needed to just make up their own system, and others will follow so long as it suits their whims. It opens the flood gates.
Sociopath here. I probably would. Not sure how you think this undermines religion. Quite the opposite.
There have unironically been plenty of cases where i saw an attractive girl on the street and thought to myself "I would rape her if there weren't any laws to protect her"
>this thread still up
Oh. My. God!
Really.
Religion really is for people who can't think and feel for themselves.
>the vast majority of humanity struggles with such things and are often not ethical liberals but cavemen in modern clothing, with all wants, aspirations, hospitality, and all the vengeful disdain, and juvenile cruelty a pre-Western man would have
So I see now. Christians believe humans are like dogs that need to be kept on a leash and be beat with a hard rod so that they do not cause harm unto other humans. Christians don't believe humans are different from animals, except in their ability to communicate through languages.
