Oh shut up. You are literally casting stones when you live in a glass house. For instance we just found piles of corpses of children next to a residential school- you know one run by the Catholic and Anglican schools. And apparently there are more. Also we cannot forget that mass grave found in
Ireland. Or how King Leopold II who turned the Congo red... was a Christian, I mean if you toss blame at us for what you are blaming us for, we can do the same. Remember, in all the examples that I have provided say Leopold they have done these atrocities in service of their religion. And speaking of atrocities in service of religion, "Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.".
See, there's a difference. When you point to those things, I can say that they were morally wrong, as they violate God's Law, and anyone who claims to have done so in God's name is clearly a liar.
An Atheist?
All you can really say is 'I don't like it.' Because you
have no higher moral law. You can say that your preferences
are moral law, but in the end, they're still only your personal preferences.
Murder is wrong. Theft is wrong. Rape is wrong. Genocide is wrong. I can make these as moral statements, and that is logically consistent with my worldview. That some people violate these demonstrates that the heart of man is prone to sin and wickedness, which is
also logically consistent with my worldview. It's ugly, and it should be resisted at all turns, but it's observably true.
To an atheistic worldview, what is it but one biological machine interacting with other biological machines in a way that results in the machine being damaged or broken?
Note that in nations with dominant, or even strong
remnants of Christian culture, these offenses needed to be
hidden. Because they are known to be unacceptable.
In aggressively atheistic regimes? These things are done openly, as warnings, or just because someone in power is on an ego trip. Even publicly claimed to be right and moral by those who do them. See, USSR, Khmer Rouge, Maoist China, etc.
Evil happened in both cases. But the scale of the offense and how it was treated were drastically different.
I'll be happy to continue this argument if you want, but yes, it should move to a new thread if it's to keep going on.
(As an addendum, yes atheistic people are capable of being moral. I'm not claiming otherwise. It's just not logically consistent with their worldview to believe in morality.)
