Sure it is - all religions define reality in one shape or way. As an atheist, you must do this since God doesn't. You may not call this religion, but it is. You assert "facts" with no proof.

You would think that if religion was inherently false (especially Christianity), atheists would just ignore it and move on. Instead, we have to suffer through the ridiculous proselytizing you've done in favor of godlessness.

And btw, if there is really no God of the Bible, then why are you whining about slavery? What makes slavery so morally repugnant, as if you could even define what a moral is? You don't like it - so what.

Argue logically, not existentially.

No more imprisoned than you are by materialism - nothing can exist outside of that which can be measured in a test tube, proverbially speaking? And you call Christianity limited...

Hmmm...like your own existence? In a world that arose from time plus chance plus nothing, you can't even account for your own thought processes or clearly define anything approaching objectivity without borrowing from the Biblical POV.

You need an argument here...

Some people have a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom.
