Atheists Have No Morals

So atheists have no morals, yet those who follow God (usually meaning Yahweh) have a moral compass to guide them. Have these “pastors” even read the Bible? The God of the Old Testament is personally responsible for the most horrific crimes in the history of fiction. Let’s run through a short list of atrocities God is personally responsible for:

• Sends Satan down to Earth for rebelling against him in Heaven, thus dooming mankind to temptation.
• Is pissed the magic talking snake convinced the stupid woman to eat a fruit.
• Kills every living thing in the planet is a catastrophic flood.
• Destroys two cities with fire and brimstone for being wicked.
• Turns Lot’s wife into a pillar of salt for having a peek at the fireworks.
• Drowns the armies in opposition to his chosen people.
• Kills the first born of an entire country because the Pharaoh annoyed him.
• Takes human form as his own son and amazes people with magic tricks and asks everyone to be nice to each other for a change. For this he is killed.
• People rejoice at the horror and wear the symbol of barbaric execution for centuries to come.
• Writes a book which is so ambiguous it causes multiple divisions amongst believers leading to persecution, suffering, and wars.
• Instructs people who believe in him to kill heathens where they stand, or to treat those with different sexual preferences as sub-human.

I could go on, but you get the point.

What I find particularly disgusting about Steve Harvey’s opinion is that it was not that long ago that black people could not vote, were forced onto separate buses, could not marry who they wished with complete freedom and deprived of many other basic human rights. Biblical passages were used to support this position since the Bible does not prohibit slavery – on the contrary, it actively supports it.

This idiot is now turning around and doing exactly the same thing to another minority – fucking hypocrite!

Jews are going to hell

The Sydney Morning Herald has posted an article about a Baptist Pastor who informed Jewish leaders they were going to hell and would face a fate worse than the holocaust.  He goes on to clarify his position based on Biblical passages:

“The Bible says that all have sinned and all are worthy of hell.  That includes everyone, until we receive Jesus as our saviour”

While is approach may seem brutally abrupt, know one can honestly disagree with the core tenants of his beliefs.  Jesus himself said in John 14:6

“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Decent people may feel uncomfortable with this line of reasoning, and so they should.  The doctrine of eternal salvation which can only be obtained by accepting the dogma of a particular religion is dangerous, divisive, and an open attacks on others faith.

Shifting another persons beliefs in any other aspect of our experience requires evidence supporting your case and demonstrating logical arguments to your conclusion.  Since no religion can really lay claim to the ultimate truth (although all do), there can never be resolution on these matter.

Religion has managed to remain immune from criticism and ridicule for far too long.  It is time to expose these ideas for what they truly are – baseless, worthless, wishful thinking stemming from the dark recesses of our ignorance for millennia.
