Free For all - Open Discussions and DebatesGod wants us to kill Homosexualsit may be true that certain ideas (religions) set people against one another, but that's no reason to assume subjectivity for all of them. logic may set a logical group of people against an illogical group, but that's no reason to argue against logic. truth is objective, whether it divides or not. anti-semitism has nothing to do with Christianity. this "climate" may have started (somehow) with this anger towards the Jews for what happened in history, but is completely incompatible with the teachings of Christ. therefore, this was not a "Christian" or "Church" attitude, but an abuse of it. and as St. Augustine said, "We must never judge a philosophy by its abuse." the other side of this is that it's false. Hitler was no more a Christian than i'm an atheist. simply calling one's self by a title makes no difference. giving a different label to a bottle of medicine doesn't change the medicine inside. he wasn't driven by Biblical ideas, but by secular humanistic ideas (evolution). read Hitler's Mein Kampf. then you'll see where he got his ideas from. and how do you see his ideas as "repulsive" anyway? if evolution (survival of the fittest, nature red in tooth and claw) is true, then his methods were consistent with what you believe. so why be repulsed by them? ameteur comments. you're confusing EPISTEMOLOGY with ONTOLOGY. it's not what one believes that's important, but what IS. what coheres with reality is important. therefore, not all these "gods" exist, except for in certain people's unfortunately mistaken minds. absurd. it's not FAITH itself, but the IDEAS BEHIND a particular faith. would you say that Buddha's faith would have ever led him to fly a plane into a building (or something similar given the time in history)? does your faith in atheism force you to fly planes into buildings? (and actually in your case, killing people would be a LOGICAL outworking of your beliefs. there's no moral law to prevent it. but those who do in the name of Christ or "God" are being ILLOGICAL concerning what they believe.)
show him that his belief system forces him to believe that life is meaningless and after the grave is nothing, therefore ANYTHING GOES!
what's the reason for this "caring about humanity"? where does that come from if all is meaningless and we're just some cosmic accident? if we're just rearranged pond scum, how can life be worth anything? there have been people who call themselves Christians that have done things just as bad or worse. read the book Christian Jihad by Ergun Caner. the important thing is to realize that while they may do this, they are being inconsistent with their beliefs. an atheist would be being consistent with such actions.
of course there isn't. which is precisely why we don't preach "Christians" but CHRIST and Him Crucified!
"There's a big difference between what the Bible records and what it approves." -- Norman Geisler silly. this guy should know better. without religion (or religious ideas of a transcendant moral standard or law) there would be no such thing as good or evil in the first place! this guy's as misled as you are. |
