And I still hear Christians saying
"God is love",
"God is merciful",
"God is our moral guide"

Even after watching this video

Makes sense!

Who mercilessly killed all the first born children in Egypt? Was that not god?

How can you like a god who does cruel, immoral, and bad things such as these.


There is plenty of evil in “the Good Book,” but here are some highlights:

1. God drowns the whole earth.
In Genesis 7:21-23, God drowns the entire population of the earth: men, women, children, fetuses, and perhaps unicorns. Only a single family survives. In Matthew 24:37-42, gentle Jesus approves of this genocide and plans to repeat it when he returns.

2. God kills half a million people.
In 2 Chronicles 13:15-18, God helps the men of Judah kill 500,000 of their fellow Israelites.

3. God slaughters all Egyptian firstborn.
In Exodus 12:29, God the baby-killer slaughters all Egyptian firstborn children and cattle because their king was stubborn.

4. God kills 14,000 people for complaining that God keeps killing them.
In Numbers 16:41-49, the Israelites complain that God is killing too many of them. So, God sends a plague that kills 14,000 more of them.

5. Genocide after genocide after genocide.
In Joshua 6:20-21, God helps the Israelites destroy Jericho, killing “men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.” In Deuteronomy 2:32-35, God has the Israelites kill everyone in Heshbon, including children. In Deuteronomy 3:3-7, God has the Israelites do the same to the people of Bashan. In Numbers 31:7-18, the Israelites kill all the Midianites except for the virgins, whom they take as spoils of war. In 1 Samuel 15:1-9, God tells the Israelites to kill all the Amalekites – men, women, children, infants, and their cattle – for something the Amalekites’ ancestors had done 400 years earlier.

6. God kills 50,000 people for curiosity.
In 1 Samuel 6:19, God kills 50,000 men for peeking into the ark of the covenant. (Newer cosmetic translations count only 70 deaths, but their text notes admit that the best and earliest manuscripts put the number at 50,070.)

7. 3,000 Israelites killed for inventing a god.
In Exodus 32, Moses has climbed Mount Sinai to get the Ten Commandments. The Israelites are bored, so they invent a golden calf god. Moses comes back and God commands him: “Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.” About 3,000 people died.

8. The Amorites destroyed by sword and by God’s rocks.
In Joshua 10:10-11, God helps the Israelites slaughter the Amorites by sword, then finishes them off with rocks from the sky.

9. God burns two cities to death.
In Genesis 19:24, God kills everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah with fire from the sky. Then God kills Lot’s wife for looking back at her burning home.

10. God has 42 children mauled by bears.
In 2 Kings 2:23-24, some kids tease the prophet Elisha, and God sends bears to dismember them. (Newer cosmetic translations say the bears “maul” the children, but the original Hebrew, baqa, means “to tear apart.”)

11. A tribe slaughtered and their virgins Molested for not showing up at roll call.
In Judges 21:1-23, a tribe of Israelites misses roll call, so the other Israelites kill them all except for the virgins, which they take for themselves. Still not happy, they hide in vineyards and pounce on dancing women from Shiloh to take them for themselves.

12. 3,000 crushed to death.
In Judges 16:27-30, God gives Samson strength to bring down a building to crush 3,000 members of a rival tribe.

13. A concubine Molested and dismembered.
In Judges 19:22-29, a mob demands To Molest a godly master’s guest. The master offers his daughter and a concubine to them instead. They take the concubine and gang-molest her all night. The master finds her on his doorstep in the morning, cuts her into 12 pieces, and ships the pieces around the country.

14. Child sacrifice.
In Judges 11:30-39, Jephthah burns his daughter alive as a sacrificial offering for God’s favor in killing the Ammonites.

15. God helps Samson kill 30 men because he lost a bet.
In Judges 14:11-19, Samson loses a bet for 30 sets of clothes. The spirit of God comes upon him and he kills 30 men to steal their clothes and pay off the debt.

16. God demands you kill your wife and children for worshiping other gods.
In Deuteronomy 13:6-10, God commands that you must kill your wife, children, brother, and friend if they worship other gods.

17. God incinerates 51 men to make a point.
In 2 Kings 1:9-10, Elijah gets God to burn 51 men with fire from heaven to prove he is God.

18. God kills a man for not impregnating his brother’s widow.
In Genesis 38:9-10, God kills a man for refusing to impregnate his brother’s widow.

19. God threatens forced cannibalism.
In Leviticus 26:27-29 and Jeremiah 19:9, God threatens to punish the Israelites by making them eat their own children.

20. The coming slaughter.
According to Revelation 9:7-19, God’s got more evil coming. God will make horse-like locusts with human heads and scorpion tails, who torture people for 5 months. Then some angels will kill a third of the earth’s population. If he came today, that would be 2 billion people.

Now, Christians have spent thousands of years coming up with excuses for a loving god that would allow or create such evil. In fact, they’ve come up with 12 basic responses, which are the subject of The Tale of the Twelve Officers. http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/mark_vuletic/five.html

Is the bible really the best code of morality we have? Please watch this short video.
Answers from Christians please. I am sincerely trying to understand how you can watch this and still think that your god is a loving god?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqfGu6vTxFY

Yes that's right, the religion you follow is a scam. It's time to wake up and stop allowing yourself to be duped out of your hard earned cash.

This video is four years old but is still just as relevant today.

Christians and Muslims you need to watch this to understand why atheism is growing faster than any supernatural belief amongst the young.

Listen to this young as he evaluates the bible.

Leo Igwe, a friend of the British Humanist Association and Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Humanist Movement, was attacked on the 30th July 2009, during a raid by 150 to 200 members of a Christian church at a conference he had organised on "Child Rights and Witchcraft" in Calabar.

Here is another very interesting video.

What is it REALLY like being a black atheist in the Bible Belt? This event features a panel of Houston-area black atheists, sharing their experiences of growing up in religion and eventually coming to leave it behind, as members of the most religious minority group in the most religious region of the country. Discussion moderated by Donald Wright, author of "The Only Prayer I'll Ever Pray: Let My People Go".

Panel discussion begins about 20 minutes into the video. /

All humans came out of Africa. When they migrated to colder climates tens of thousands of years ago the lighter skinned ones (albinos) survived better in the colder climate, whereas the dark skinned ones could not and died out. The humans who stayed in Africa remained dark skinned. It's the same reason why you have white tigers, white bears, white rabbits in cold snowy climates. It's called natural selection

This was organised by the London Black Atheists group and held in hackney, London on 25th march 2013.
At the end of Leo's entertaining and informative speech there is a very interesting Q&A where he is joined by Clive and Lola from London black atheists to answer audience questions.

This sounds really good. If you are an atheist, humanist, or just curious to find out about how religion is harmful to humanity, I would highly recommend attending this event.

Respects

Yes I am based in London. I went to the talk with Leo Igwe and the central London humanists. It was an excellent talk with questions at the end. The event was filmed and they say they will be uploading it shortly.

Here is a video of another talk he did in London recently

No, It's not a new church of atheism .There is no worshipping of supernatural deities so no need for the sarcasm. There are thousands of meetup groups covering all kinds of different interests and topics.
This is what they say they are about:

London Black Atheists, despite the name Black, is a group that welcomes all atheists. We want to free our minds and our communities from all religious pollution and corruption. Our mission is to encourage ethnic peoples of all stripes and particularly of the African Diaspora to come out as atheists to other atheists. We will not reveal your identity publicly. We provide a friendly, welcoming and supportive environment for people who want to declare themselves as atheists but are wary of receiving a hostile reaction from their family and friends, leaving them isolated with no one to turn to and nowhere to go.

We actively work with other atheist groups such as British Humanist Association, London Atheists Activists Group and Central London Humanists Group to further our cause. If you live or work in London or are just visiting, if you are questionning religion and want to meet like minded people, join our group.

For social and historical reasons Black people tend to be very religious. The default position in Black society is that religion is a good thing that should be followed without question. We disagree. At some times and in some places, religion in the past has provided social cohesion, schools, hospitals, charities and the like, but the overwhelming evidence is that nowadays religion is divisive, physically harmful, mentally destabilising and morally bankrupt. It is a brake on social and scientific progress. In those parts of the world where it is a dominant influence, it is positively lethal. For those people who say "What harm does it do?", we have a two word reply - Northern Ireland. Two Christian communities made up of ordinary men, women and children, one Catholic the other Protestant, locked in a deadly, decades old conflict.

We meetup for serious discussions on a wide range of topics connected to atheism, science, social issues, religion, evolution, cosmology, and neuroscience amongst other things. We actively seek to improve our understanding of our stunning, incredible universe, from a natural perspective. A universe that does not need a supernatural creator to explain its existence, nor how it functions. We also meetup socially for fun, entertainment, restaurant outings, watching films, visiting theatres and museums etc.

Please can someone explain how god is love and yet ruthlessly murders innocent babies and children in this story. It is now known that the ancient Egyptians were a great African civilisation, yet this 'loving' god decides to commit the worst possible atrocity against them and you celebrate it!

Then he commands his "chosen" people to commit genocide and slaughter, rape, and enslave their neighbours.

What happened to "thou shalt not kill"

People who believe in absurdities, will believe they are justified to commit atrocities. The holy bible is one long celebration of gratuitous violence. If you don't believe me, take a look at this website. http://www.evilbible.com/

Warning! This is a very shocking video. How can people do this to their fellow human beings?

Answer: This is what the holy bible tells you to do.

There is a new meetup group in london for black atheists. They recently hosted a talk by the nigerian activist Leo Igwe entitled 'Breaking the Taboo of Atheism in Black Communities'. They had some very good feedback and need more black atheists to join. Any race can also join the group as "you dont need to be homeless to support a homeless charity", so you dont need to be black to support black atheists.

Take a look here:

In the passover story god hardens the pharoah's heart, tortures africans, kills innocent animals, then sends an angel of death to murder thousands of innocent african first born children and babies.

Please help me to understand the good moral of this story?


This is a horrific, barbaric celebration of gratuitous violence culminating in mass racial infanticide.

How can anyone be worthy of praise and worship after committing such a horrendous immoral crime agaist humanity?

You don't need to have a belief in god to do good deeds to others. You just need the intelligence to understand when someone needs your help. We evolved as social animals in groups that survive better in harmony with each other. We also have mirror neurons in our brains which release chemicals that enable us to feel another's distress and pain. You can also feel another's joy and happiness. That's why joy and laughter is infectious.. So in other words if you help someone it makes you feel good too.

Humans aren't the only animals that risk their lives to help others.
Watch this video. This dog is not a Christian but is risking his life to save another dog.

If you have never seen this. You must watch this excellent play turned movie about the Jewish prisoners in one of the barracks in a concentration camp who put god on trial for breach of his covenant with them as they awaited selection for the gas chambers. Very moving, fathers and sons, believers and non believers, rabbis, artists, doctors, scholars, and a German who didnt know he was half jewish!. Raw honesty, emotion, and intelligent arguments from both sides of the debate. It had me gripped from start to finish.
The movie starts after a short introduction by masterpiece contemporary.

in the uk there is information tv http://information.tv/Clientservices/ who charge £500 for 1 hour of airtime on their channel on sky satellite tv, virgin cable, and freeview tv.

I think it would be a good idea to buy 50 x 1 hour slots to show once a week for a year. Then i can have all the great videos on youtube that theists will never search for broadcast directly into their homes. With free advertising on popular atheist websites promoting the channel (www.richarddawkins.net has over a million hits a month) and maybe a little controversy with theists trying to get it shut down citing blasphemy (even though they have scores of channels constantly insulting non believers).

I think it will be a great way to raise awareness amongst believers of the arguments against religions that they would not otherwise be made aware of. Just by surfing the channels on tv they could come across a christopher hitchens debate, or an episode of the atheist experience, or a documentary about helen ukpabio and her child witch videos. etc. Theists need to know how harmful their supernatural beliefs can be to innocent people who are accused of witchcraft, to non believers who are accused of blasphemy and apostacy, to gays who are accused of sodomy. all of which are punishible by death according to the judeo-christian and muslim holy books.

Presenting to you. The heavenly art of speaking in tongues.
