On a serious note, the atheist lacks foundation for belief. The root of morality is rotted in their mind.

They can only base their positive morality on various philosophies and ideologies which are ultimately have no significant social or spiritual implications. There morality is as up to debate as anything in this world devoid of higher meaning.

In terms of a healthy society, atheism is one of the most damaging ideologies out there, one where life is robbed of meaning and worth.

It all follows into a conclusion of self-obsession. There can be no pride from nation, faith or culture. These things are denounced. The only things people derive worth from are their possessions (blatant materialism) and their own inflated egos.


All human morality stems from the same place.

ever wonder why animals aren't just killing one another constantly considering they aren't Christians and have no moral foundations?

A very important point that few people who argue it don't seem to get.

Teaching children religion is wrong. Teaching children about religion isn't.


Teaching children about religion with misinformation and bias?

One where life is robbed of inherent meaning and worth...maybe.
Doesn't seem vergy damaging to me.

It seems natural for me that a parent who 100% believe in his god will try to teach to his kid how to find salvation or whatever vrigins in paradise, reincarnation...

Also i would lie saying that i would be happy to see my kid convert to muslim or knocking doors with a bible with my grand son beside him.

We are just teaching what we think is correct to our kids, and this because we want them to be happy.

One important thing for me is to learn them to be careful with whoever claim to be the owner of the absolute truth, and this not only for religions.

not fascinated eh?

my point is animals have a moral codes that allow them to function as groups/packs

we are no different from them, there is no divine source of morality, it occurs naturally
