You are a pathetic excuse for a human when God is the only reason for your morality

We are saying the same thing. For any insurmountable problem, just define the solution into existence.

The evidence from Nature 1) consciousness 2) design in life 3) order in the universe form the basis on which God is inferred as a solution to the question. We didn't just wish God out of thin air.

Nicely said in summary we can have problem with religion and not with GOD because the only true religion is LOVE if we all loved each other there would have been no need to ever doubt the existence of God.

johnydon22:


I am always scared of people who do not find any need for a moral and ethical behaviour towards other humans unless they are being threatened by some freaky monster with a burning torture chamber to be moral.

Always be scared and suspicious of such person because such person have no moral compass, idea or position of his/her own but needs to be controlled by something else, cannot think for himself.

Morality is the product of a society, so everybody in a society has an obligation towards one another for the well being of the society and continuation.

I shudder in fear when i see people talk like that, cus he has shown without the idea of a torture hungry god, he would be maiming and causing havoc on the society.

I murder, steal, rape as much as i want and the much is 0

Somehow he is right we have no morality and that morality i am referring to is one roped in the ideas of his religious doctrines.

I have sex with any consenting adult i want and fuc_k what his religion thinks.

I do not go to church and that is an immoral act according to his religion.

Maybe those are the morals atheists don't have.

What i find moral is actions towards others and that is all..

If people cannot find reasons to be good to others unless threatened to do so then humanity is a sorry lot indeed.

The word "God" have many meanings and uses and can be used to represent many values.

So depends on your uses of the word, if it is in the realm of conceptual we can say there is such idea.

If "God" is a living conscious humanoid then i believe substantiation is needed for such claim.

Oh you did wish God out from thin air because you are only using "God" as a placeholder for your ignorance of the things you listed above.

That you don't know something is a call for study not wishful assumption.. That there is a tree is not an excuse for me to infer tree fairies must exist that is a ludicrous assumption.

That i don't know how a tree came to be doesn't prove tree fairies ... So your ignorance is never evidence of your assumptions.

What Uyi Iredia means is that even as man when we create things we leave traces of physical composition in them take for instance a computer has a heart = cpu, nerves = wires, eyes = camera/screen.... so Even as we were created by God it was the same self he used in making us.
You can call this an hypothesis but it has already been proven bro

This is ridiculous ... it is a hypothesis that is found mostly in theological classes.

If you argue because man has these qualities therefore must require a kind of designer to assemble them and this designer inspired these qualities in man therefore this designer must also have these qualities.

So how can man be designed and that designer that is also similar to man in features do not need to be designed?.

If you argue complexity connotes design then for something to be powerful enough to design man that thing must be more or at least as complex as man.

so if complexity connotes design then that complex designer also must require another designer who in turn must require another designer and so it keeps going.

but if you exempt this complex designer from being designed that means complexity doesn't require design and that kills all your argument..

That special pleading does not work... When something is proven it leaves the realm of faith and belief..

Not from ignorance but from what we know about those things we can be sure that Nature could not have possibly been self-existent and couldn't possibly evolve living things unaided. So God is the guiding hand that not only made nature but life and conscious humans in it. You can keep living in yoir atheist fairyland. That's your business.

Hahahahahahaha marvelous ... This is why we only get these in religious classes....

I am yet to see you provide your works on how natural values cannot interact to bring forth results must require an external hand. . since you know i am sure proving it aint hard so why not bring it out and earn a nobel prize for it.

we all know nobody has earned a nobel prize with that yet so here is your chance.

Its no longer "God created nature fully complex and functional" but now rather "the guiding hand of natural evolution"

Ignorant assumptions is never a placeholder for scientific ignorance, or it will be an ever receding and irrelevant factor.

10,000 Gods may exist but if you will only hide their relevance behind the curtains of scientific ignorance then your god will always be an unneeded hypothesis in the face of scientific discoveries.

grin

Hahahahaha you lot believe in a land of golden street and diamond water and a sunless realm and golden robes and golden sashes with horse riding Gods..

don't worry though, atheists are the ones that live in a fairytale grin

So the definition of ignorance has now changed to "refusal to accept unproven invisible beings"?

Because to me, the word would more accurately describe people who tend to believe in highly questionable supernatural ideas based on circular arguments and logical fallacies, and then insist others are in the wrong for not buying it.

The debate was about evolution? ..where do you keep your brain before coming here.

Me debate you? ..lol.. I have suffered.

No it was just a small lesson on the fallacious application of "God of the gap" argument, "Appeal to ignorance"

any gap should be filled with any assumption, hence once you have a question about "nature" assume up a God for it.

You never really even mustered a point banter words like "ignorance, god, fairyland"

You lot need an upgrade, perhaps physical discussion can ensure that?

To me, Atheists who think "belief" is the only problem of this world and Theists who think "belief" is part of the major solution to the problems of this world are no difference. It is either they are both blind or not being realistic.
Re: Reasons Why Atheist Are Confused People by KB524(m): 4:30pm On Apr 06, 2016
The person that rapes,steals,flogs and at worse murders and claim to be human is never a human but something worst than beast,and should be treated as such.being atheist doesn't mean person is an animal,but those who are claiming all sort of crime because they do not believe God exist are worse than beast.i know some people who don't believe God exist but does things that are humanly,i heard some one says i don't believe in God but i believe in KARMA.when asked what KARMA means she says doing good things.even u don't believe in HIM U can not refuse meeting him as u are mortal must Die there and then u will regret that will help you not,BE WISE OOOOOOO

No virginboy is correct...

Belief is not the Only problem of the world neither is it a solution to world problems.

Belief is harmless in essence but once it becomes an enemy of truth, it should be discarded because it then is a problem to the world.

We should try to know things rather than believe things.

Belief is a mark of uncertainty but an exercise of agreement none the less, it is dishonest but once held personally as an opinion is fine.

But once it seeks to be held higher than empirical deductions and study, it becomes a nonsensical and deplorable concept.

And discarding such is not an act of rebellion but out of respect to human intellect..
