Everyone lives like an Atheist

[LuisDantas]

I don't think that you need a belief in God to have morals. However without a God there is no foundation for morality.

Uh? Aren't you denying the first sentence with the second?

Or are you claiming that morality doesn't necessarily have a foundation?

If there isn't a God and we all got here by a naturalistic big bang, and naturalistic evolution, then morals are something made up and don't have anything to do with reality.

Double uh with a strawberry on the top? !?

How on Earth basic morals on things that are known to exist makes them less connected with reality?

Atheists don't want to believe in fairies in the sky but do want to live with fairytale morals?

Of course not. We prefer realistic morals. Although I guess that is not necessarily the majority view.

In my worldview morals came from God, so what I see are atheists that have no foundation for morality living like there is a foundation for morality, like the world was created by my God, and ignoring the fact that their worldview has morals that are made up from imagination and they live like they are real.

Doesn't that amount to simply wanting to believe that things are different from how they show themselves to be?

Sorry, pal, but no one has any duty to support that kind of self-delusion. Why are you even saying that you have it in the first place?

I find it rather comical that you would claim that with out god there are no morals when you are unable to prove that this god that the morals depend upon exists.

Like the Pope, riding around in his Pope-mobile sitting in a bulletproof plexi-glass cage. It would seem the Pope has more faith in ability of plexi-glass to protect him then in God.

As Bill Hicks put it, “I love the Pope, I love seeing him in his Pope-Mobile, his three feet of bullet proof plexi-glass. That's faith in action folks!"

Like a lightning rod a top a church?

morals are like math, it is made up by humans to serve humans.

 

[Man of Faith]

Then you admit it is better to live like a theist. :yes:

 

[McBell]

Then you admit it is better to live like a theist. :yes:

Now there's a leap if ever I saw one.

 

[micrurus]

Then you admit it is better to live like a theist. :yes:

please tell me how you got from "A" to "god"

Indeed. Possibly.

 

[Quiddity]

There is a formula to living like an atheist?

Sounds kind of religious to me.

 

[micrurus]

Indeed. Possibly.

lol, not exactly what I ment but good enough

 

[micrurus]

no there is logic to living like an atheist.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

There is a formula to living like an atheist?

(Life + Reason) - Fairy Tales = Atheism

 

[micrurus]

(Life + Reason) - Fairy Tales = Atheism

you might want to adjust your formula because

if: (life + reason) -fairy tales = atheism
then: life + reason = atheism + fairy tales

 

[Quiddity]

no there is logic to living like an atheist.

Obviously. But so does some theism IMO.

It's just sounds odd to say live like an atheist......what in the world does that mean? They all like vanilla ice cream with nuts on top and watch Sam Harris videos?

Anytime you categorize atheism as anything other then non-belief in a deity it just sounds religious.

 

[Quiddity]

(Life + Reason) - Fairy Tales = Atheism

Life? Yeah, that is vague. What can I say to this type of stuff? It's the same ol regurgitating babble of religious folks believe in things akin to the easter bunny.

Do you believe in the Easter Bunny?

 

[Quiddity]

Do you believe in the Easter Bunny?

lol.....I know where this is going.

If the easter bunny wants me to believe in him, then I will.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

If the easter bunny wants me to believe in him, then I will.

You must get taken advantage of a lot.

 

[micrurus]

If the easter bunny wants me to believe in him

you cant say this without believing in him.

 

[drsatish]
