Why do some Atheists say Christianity is harmful?

[ChristineM]

And what happens to that happiness when one can no longer have sex? That time comes for everyone

As i said it changed my life. Hubby has had prostate cancer, following surgery and radiotherapy he is no longer able to gain erection. We still live a happy life.

And I've said before your proselytizing and preaching to me is a waste of your time, if you can't put together a good argument yourself then don't bother.

It is not a claim, it is only an opinion.

I said: Most people on this thread don't seem to think it is okay for you to have your own opinions.
In my opinion, this is true.

So as long as you preface it with "my opinion," making a false or misleading statement is okay?

I don't see @Melchizedek99 forcing his solution onto anyone. He is just sharing his opinions, just like the rest of us.

He repeatedly said that atheists have no morals, and no meaning to their lives. In what he posts, he presents his beliefs as if they are objective truths. I was reminding him that they are not.

Scientific evidence is not really non-belief.

Falsification is everything where evidence is concerned

There is scientific evidence that the body dies, but there is no scientific evidence that the soul dies.
Falsification is everything where evidence is concerned.

Not all religions do that, only Christianity. The idea of sin comes from Christianity.

'Amongst them were those who failed in their duty towards God, followed their own desires, and trod the path of lust and wickedness.'

Source: Bahá'í Reference Library - The Summons of the Lord of Hosts, Pages 185-241

Since sin is defined as transgression against God I would view that as pretty explicitly identifying lust as a sin in Baha'i faith.

If you were saying sin is not a Baha'i concept;
'What sin hath kept the inmates of the city of Thy names so far from Thine all-glorious Horizon, and deprived them of access to Thy most great Ocean?'

That it is their opinion is merely your opinion.

It is only their opinion unless they have proof.

My opinion also doesn't harm other people.

Really? He has already spoken of killing the Jews and you think he is not interested in force?!

It is only their opinion unless they have proof.

And it's only your opinion that it's their opinion unless you have proof.

I don't think we will have a problem with the OP anymore. This is what I saw when I clicked on the profile of Melchizedek99:

There is no scientific evidence a soul exists, I under that one cannot falsify woo

Right here...
I just provided you evidence above that this is not the case.

When I said I do not speak about what anyone else wants, I only speak about what I want, I was speaking 'in general' about what I think most people want.

How can you speak intelligently about what a homosexual wants?

I never spoke about what 'a homosexual' wants.

Yes, I noticed that

It was an interesting thread though

 

[endlessvoid2018]

Loll.
Why are people like this always the most vocal?

Sex changed my life too, but not necessarily in a positive way.

And I've said before your proselytizing and preaching to me is a waste of your time, if you can't put together a good argument yourself then don't bother.

I was only sharing. I was not proselytizing and preaching, not any more than you were proselytizing and preaching for sex.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

And lgbtq ideology for example is very harmful to society, and as such not to be tolerated.

No, that attitude of yours is harmful and does do a net harm to society.

You're right. I misread @Eddi's post. My apologies.

In my opinion, this is true.

It is only your opinion that my opinion is false or misleading, but even if it was I still have a right to my opinion.
Are all the opinions people share here necessarily true?

 

[danieldemol]

I consider it to be a dangerous opinion and another reason to call out and shun his preferred Christian beliefs. If he believes that he can say something as appalling and unacceptable as that and not receive any backlash for it, then he is gravely mistaken. I think a heinous remark like that deserves pushback.

Not sure about the shunning part, but I agree the view deserves push-back, although i would point out the view that homosexuality is bad for society seems to be shared by @Trailblazer

I believe it would be more accurate to say most people on this thread don't think its ok to hold demonstrably harmful opinions.
