| Ok, since Athena double posted, I'm going to assume I can to.
I've looked over the entire thread now and am glad I got here when I did.
To Christians
Every time Christians say Atheists are naturally immoral, I die a little on the inside. This was stated by loser somewhere. Atheist does not equate to lack of moral system.
Also, I don't care enough about the title to nit pick on it.
To Atheists (Lullaby Chainer in particular).
You do seem to be lumping all Christians into the category "Christian Right". I don't think I fall under that category. In fact, I spend my free time trying to convince people on the Christian Right (in an internet forum) that Jesus was not a family man.
Also there seems to be a false dichotomy here. Either God is evil because the Bible says so or the Bible is wrong therefore God doesn't exist. A big thing in Christianity is how no one is perfect. This applies to authors of the books of the Bible. You really have to take historical context into account if you are going to interpret the Bible.
Tsk. So pessimistic. You haven't mentioned Heaven (maybe you have and I missed it, I'm not perfect). You are kinda focused on all the bad things about Christianity that you ignore the upsides to it. Love, Forgiveness, An extended hand to the poor and needy. These are reasons to believe in Christianity. But if you insist on only seeing the reasons why not to believe, then of course you can't believe.
I can't give specific example from the thread to support some of my claims, I just ask for your mercy at one in the morning. But i don't think I put words in anyone's mouth. Even so, go easy on my post. It's Junior year and my head's about to explode. My logic may be flawed here or there.
Don't forget this is all in good fun!
