That's pretty damn funny. Growing up in Utah I wondered why Mormons needed a separate seminary building when there was a perfectly good school building that they were already using to promote their views.

If god is dead everything is permissible. Also atheists don't have a concept of sacredness so they don't view human life as sacred.
“A true opium of the people is a belief in nothingness after death – the huge solace of thinking that for our betrayals, greed, cowardice, murders, we are not going to be judged."
Atheism is the opiate of the morally corrupt.

How do you figure, doesn't Jesus forgive sins?
Seems that Christians have a pretty big loophole.
As long as they believe in JC, they can get away with pretty much anything.
They don't even have to fear worldly punishment, because they will still have the afterlife.

Another BS. Since atheists do not believe in afterlife they cherish and value the only life you got way more then any religion.
So even if no god exists in reality I should believe it anyway otherwise I lack the ability to be moral?

You trolling or are you ****ing retarded? Maybe athiests don't need some hocus pocus guy in the sky to explain to them about not being a ****ing dick?

Lol you completely sent red herrings here. Its true that atheists don't have a concept of sacredness so by default they don't view human life as sacred because nothing is sacred.
Which is why burning people at the stake is so unpopular in atheist circles. One really has to value the sacredness of the human soul in order to go to such great lengths to destroy it.

You are really a big douche. Think about this for a second - atheists suffer way more when they lose somebody, since they believe they lost them forever. Religious people on the other hand can find a comfort in believing that they will meet loved ones on "the other place".
So don't you dare saying that atheist do not value life!

I never said atheists don't value life. I simply stated that atheists don't believe in a concept of sacredness and by default don't view human life as sacred as sacredness doesn't exist to them. You have completely dodged this and sent red herrings once again.
You concept of sacredness is a red herring. It hasn't changed one iota of how atheists deal with , view, or feel about human life vs how theists deal with it.
Why? How does the non-existence of God mean that there is no right and wrong?
Since sacred basically means devoted to God, you have stated the brilliant conclusion that people who don't believe in God don't devote anything to God. How impressive. You just might be the smartest theist on the forum.
Yet, atheism among prisoners in the US has a rate of one-tenth that of the general population.
Corruption becomes much easier to justify if you think you are doing it for God.
Or if you think God has the ultimate authority to forgive you, despite all the sacred human beings whom you've hurt.

It changed how Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin, and Mao deals with human beings. Also I am glad I taught you a new term, educating the uneducated is one of my hobbies.
oh brother...
where art thou?
where art thou?
hahahaha. Awesome.
Please provide evidence that, had they been theists, Pol Pot, Stalin, or Mao would have kill fewer people.
Given Hitler's own words on the subject, the opinion of one underling is not evidence Hitler was an atheist.
If you think trotting out that same list of names over and over is your ace in the hole you can have a nice day, there's nothing more to talk about.
