LordReed:


I look out for myself and others as any good moral system should, trouble is how far does the looking out for others go. You think your religious framework provides for an extensive reach but in reality it fails when it encounters certain issues. Slavery for one, your bible supports. People had to override bible beliefs to outlaw slavery.

Maximus69:

That's a lie Sir!

NLmember:


I don't believe good atheists exist. Some might not be outrightly bad because they have a strong conscience but their ethics are not strictly guided or defined so it can change anytime and they will very well justify cheating of infidelity in their minds so that their conscience is no longer affected by it.

shadeyinka:

Prove it?
Do animals have conscience?

Conscience depend on the knowledge of right and wrong. Where there is no law, there is no sin.

hucknall:
why do you lookout for other organics?

tintingz:
Some animals do show compassion, I don't know if they(animals) know it's right or wrong.

shadeyinka:

Caught in your own web!
Close your ears and eyes by screaming "irrelevant"!
The truth you want to avoid remain before you unyielding.

shadeyinka:

Because a lion refused to eat a baby goat, you think it is compassion? NatGeoWild is confusing you. You forget that wild animals like lions don't just kill other animals for killing sake. They kill usually when they need to eat.

I hope you have also seen male lions eating baby lions when they are hungry?.

I hope you have also watched a lion sparing a baby antelope so that it's cub can practice the art of hunting!?

Animals cannot have compassion.!

You can easily prove your assertion when you show us a lion, tiger or leopard that chooses to be vegetarian.

tintingz:
Who's a good person, what's your definition of a good person, because from what I know muslim terrorists sees themselves as good people.

LordReed:


And when we do answer you dismiss it and hold on to your preconceived notions. Did you come to learn about atheists or to confirm what you already believe?

Sheunma:
i dig the way you qualified the christian woman though, " liberal and open minded." you are simply saying being a christian isnt good enough.

I doubt very much though that a woman who is liberal and open minded would bẹ christian.

CAPSLOCKED:


A LION CAN CHOOSE TO BE A VEGETARIAN THE SAME WAY A HUMAN CAN COMFORTABLY DEPEND ON EATING FIREWOOD.

NLmember:


But none of you has answered naa
The only thing you are doing is changing topics to morality/conscience and how atheists can be good and religious people can be bad.

The closest someone came to answering was saying he doesn't know then he started talking about women that like red and blue colours.
Na wa o

LordReed:


Then you are not following. Go through the thread again.

tintingz:


I watched a video where a lion saved another lion from hyenas.

LordReed:


LOL! This won't change the Bible's stance on slavery.

hucknall:
it true dear. Do you lookout for the good of others? if yes why?

NLmember:


No, I said what I said.

shadeyinka:

And it wouldn't make Civil Servants less "Servants"!

hucknall:
to be clear, you guys are saying is there are no personal moral.

hucknall:
what are they? some examples will do

I know I'm taking it slow in order to avoid misunderstanding.

shadeyinka:

Ok!
Dear Illiterate Professor hopefulLandlord,
True to your nature, It's actually not a surprise that you jump to conclusions before having sufficient data and information.

Your illiteracy isn't in reading and writing, but in major aspects of deductions required in acquisition of wisdom. Total information is not necessary as far as you are concerned: for your mind is already made up.

tintingz:
Some animals do show compassion, I don't know if they(animals) know it's right or wrong.

LordReed:


No you won't look through your own thread? LMFAO!

NLmember:


No I won't go back and look through it.


I really hope the police don't arrest me for this terrible crime of not looking through my thread

LordReed:


LoL, more importantly you reveal yourself as a disingenuous fellow.

johnydon22:


An animal exhibiting similar behavior as humans doesn't necessarily mean they are influenced similarly.

An ant helping another injured ant is impulsive, reactionary.

There is a difference between a being that can think

And a being that not only thinks but knows it thinks.

shadeyinka:

And your conclusion is that it must be because of compassion!?


Your conclusion is just like you seeing me have a poultry and daily feeding, watering and watching out for the chickens and concluding that my behaviour is motivated by LOVE!


Can an animal be possessive?
Of course!
Is it possible to mistake possessiveness with compassion?

NLmember:


Majority of people in the world don't think Muslim terrorists are good people which shows that the terrorists themselves are either mentally unstable or have seriously flawed thinking.

A good person does not so things to hurt other people intentionally, does acts of kindness and shows compassion/ acts in an empathic or understanding way with others/ the society at large.

You tintingz who will you marry? An atheist or open minded Muslim woman?

NLmember:


But not as disingenuous as you godless amoral atheists
