an athiest,

Because without God there is nothing to stop us from stealing and raping.

Anti-Atheism is the most widely accepted form of bigotry. Why do people hate us so much?

Denis,

I’d like to think so too. Still, it does worry me that at least some of the faithful do seem to feel that fear of God is the only thing keeping them from homicidal mania.

I was a guest on an atheist call-in show, and was confronted by the theist question “what keeps you from raping and killing?” I responded by asking him if that was what he would rather be doing if not for the edicts of his god. Rather than surrender the point, which he apparently just couldn’t do, he answered “Yes.”

I like to think he didn’t mean it.

“ultimate self-interested actor who doesn’t care about anyone but themselves” and “that religion and good morals are one and the same”. Americans consequently “rate atheists below Muslims, recent immigrants, homosexuals and other groups as “sharing their vision of American society.”

Wow. Atheists aren’t self-centered. They are trying to make it equal for everyone. The reason why they are rated SO LOW is because over 90 percent of america is religious. Had this poll been taken in Sweden, the result would be TOTALLY different. Atheists are not evil. IF you think they are than I hope there is still air to breathe when your head is that far up your ass. If atheists were against morals how come we aint blowin up shit or doing crazy things. You could say “oh yah but Joseph stalin killed all those people and he was an atheist” Yeah but he also had fucking mental disorders. HE didnt kill those people because he was an atheist so get your facts straight for pete sakes im tired of seeing so many un educated people. HOw can you judge someone so harshly when you don’t even learn about them. SHame on you.

[...] I hope not, because humans don’t do a lot on their own. Take the first item on Mark’s list– live. It seems obvious that people have a right to live. Likewise, it seems rather obvious that people can live “on their own’, but can they? Does living fit Noonan’s criteria? Not really. Humans are social animals. We don’t live very long or very well in the utter absence of other humans, in the absense of society. By Noonan’s formula, we therefore don’t have the right to live. After all, we can’t very well do it alone, and the rare person who can can’t reproduce so the whole endeavor ends there. [...]

[...] Francis Beckwith has posted a teaser, at RightReason, to a review of a book, Darwinian Conservatism, by Larry Arnhart. It caught my attention because Arnhart seems to be making an argument similar to the the one I made in a series of posts beginning with Atheists are bad, bad people… man. Of course, there are differences. I am godless; Arnhart is not, for one. [...]

[...] Now, I have argued, much as Shermer does briefly in his points three, four and five, that the nature of social interaction can be used to derive an ethics very much like the ethics purportedly based upon religious sentiment, which, as C.S. Lewis noted, do not change much from culture to culture. In fact, I argue that those religious ethical systems are expressions of, are derivative of, the mechanisms of social interaction. However, tying such an argument specifically to ‘the Christian’ concepts of human nature and morality is taking the idea much to far, and such overextension introduces a number of factors that simply should not be there. Tying the idea to Christianity in particular rules out numerous equivalent systems of morality and suggests, among other things, that Christianity is at the top of a ladder of ‘goodness’. I can’t help but think that Shermer’s decision to name Christianity is a bit of Orwellian word-play employed to beg the faithful into buying the theory of evolution. I don’t think it is honest.
