• ‘Not a Moral Book’: Atheist Richard Dawkins Supports Passing Bibles Out in Public Schools — But Why?

  In reply to johnjamison.

  Christianity has been the foundation of the abolition of slavery, freeing women from oppression, caring for the poor and needy, giving to charity, building orphanage institutions, preventing infanticide, forbidding human sacrifice, equality, caring for the wounded such as the Red Cross, erection of hospitals, these my friend have their origins in Christianity. None of these are attached to deceitful atheistic schemes of man.

  Btw, Scandanavian countries like Norway and Denmark might have a higher concentration of atheists, but they also lead the entire world in the suicide rate. Coincidence? lol

  @ Machinist

  On Dawkins’ website, you will find, lies, distortions and half-truths, accepted as empirical fact. It seems that you have been taken in.

  Dawkins is just another irrational, fundamentalist ranter. You don’t have to have a strong religious faith to be one of those. In Dawkin’s case, a massive ego, with far too much media exposure makes most people forget that he is viewed with a great amount of derision by many of his peers in his chosen field of study.

  You can dog Christianity all you like but it is evident that you owe Christianity (or at least Theism) a debt for stealing from it the concept of personal rights and the sense of moral absolutes. I wonder if that is why you constantly mischaracterize and ridicule Christians/Christianity as being illogical and irrational because by doing that you defray attention away from your illogical and irrational beliefs despite the logical conflict of those assumed beliefs with your stated worldview (materialism – survival of the fittest).

  @ Tradition,

  None are so blind as those who are unwilling to see.

  Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States, 1809-1865

  “I am busily engaged in the study of the Bible. I believe it is God’s word because it finds me where I am.”

  “I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good of the Savior of the world is communicated to us through the Book.”

  Philly,
  Reading the Bible without the proper context and understanding is like having your first exposure to Shakespeare be a completely cold reading without any guidance. Not only will you have problems understanding the meaning of the text, but you’ll probably reject it out of immature foolishness and emotional frustration.

  Rick, Deavon is just here talking to himself again, ranting against a God he claims isn’t there and against a Bible he says is pointless.
  It’s all very “logical”. Just ask him. lol

  In reply to SouthSideLib.

  You are what you decry but your arrogance blinds you to the fact.

  And here is another conundrum. Prove your randomly evolved and fallible moral relativism presents me with any kind of binding moral obligation. What moral obligation does it present me to even be rational?

  The truth is one simply has to argue the foundations and logical underpinnings of your worldview to show how inherently fallible it is, without even throwing out a verse.
