The 'morality' taught in the OT is of dubious nature.

May I suggest you are overly enthralled with it? Just pointing out the obvious.

I don't make a habit of posting religious messages attacking atheists on the atheist forum. I'm pretty much willing to live and let live.

Says a guy who bases his "morality" on what he thinks is right. And thinks others should do the same....

The morality of atheism is basically

Do no harm to others . Treat others as you wish to be treated .



Actually a better basis than most , if not all, of the religious bases. The world would be a better place if all religions had to follow these first before acting on any other concepts of religious based morality

So you have no problems with kids being taught established science like evolution, politicians and even our POTUS being atheist , or homosexuals getting married ? Live and let live ?


Most anti religious feeling is a reaction to religious oppression and mistreatment of those who aren't a part of the proper religious worldview . Theists don't like to admit to this but it's true .

It would be against the rules you posting like that there. You will note most of my threads start here in the General section, not over in the Christian one.

What does that have to do with a poster being obsessed with attacking Christianity on a regular basis?

I'm sorry. I don't see that as the case on this forum.

Says who? I'm not aware of any meeting of the atheists to determine that. When was that voted on and agreed upon?

Why do you make assumptions that YOUR opinion represents everyone else?
