Win Prizes Ask an Atheist II

[Gethelred]

Welcome to the Ask an Atheist thread II.

Previous part:

Win Prizes - Ask an Atheist - Shoe's on the other foot now!

Alright, we're going to have a change of tack. As I'm sure you can see, the thread title has been changed to Ask an Atheist. People who have a question to ask of the atheists who populate this thread - more than the christians do - should feel free to ask questions of them. If you've still got...

Really? what is blind about killing children, sanctioning rape and telling women are inferior??? i am questioning based on everything we have learned as a race..you wish to take us back to slavery cause it was ok back then and the divine being said nothing about it? why is that worthy of praise?

Context, don't argue about a being you don't believe in. Futile.

I can, if it's vile and then being called a 'divine' cause i cannot question his autocratic genocidal nature.

I absolutely can do that.

Just because you don't believe it doesn't mean you can't call out things as you see it. Either killing children is wrong or it isn't! can i kill my dog/child if i want? i can't , same applies to this character. Just like i can criticise Harry Potter, i can call out a Christian God. It's blasphemy to you, it's not blasphemy to me period.

It's all there in the most read book in history, as you know.

What is written is little more than unsubstantiated claims with little robust objective evidence to back up those claims. For example, (amongst others) the claim of resurrection from the dead

I can't help your spiritual blindness

Yeah. I tend not to believe in claims made without robust evidence to back them up. That includes belief in a supernatural realm / being beyond the ordinarily observable world. Believing in such, relies totally on faith.

 

[Roylion]

Do you believe in God?
It's not that tough.

There is no evidence for “God”. Whatever it is.

 

[Roylion]

So you don't believe any of the OT/NT writings?

Definitely not the word of “god”, nor are the writers “inspired” by “god”. There is no reason to believe such.

Why would you criticise Harry Potter? He was a hero!

I’m planning a trip to go and search for the two halves of the Elder Wand, somewhere in the moat around Hogwarts Castle. I know it’s real cos I read it in a book. A book lots of other people have read too.

Was just hypothetical. I mean we can criticise mythical characters.

Accountability from a church leader, there might be a god after all.
