  • Finally a REAL, outlook on morals, goodwork

  • @ThatAtheistGuy20 judicial (stoning of adulterers etc). this was the law of the old covenant which was replaced with the new covenant however Jesus reaffirmed the moral part. and with morals it's as I said before. without a devine source there is no absolute truth. it is completely subjective to the individual or in some cases the group. this would justify what hitler and the Nazis did. and some people don't care how they would feel if someone did what they are doing to them.

  • @ThatAtheistGuy20 I do. that verse has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. before jesus came the only way to get to heaven was to obey the law given to Moses and then to the people. but no human was capable of completely obeying the law. so Jesus came and he fulfilled or satisfied the law with his death so that all people could go to heaven. and back to the original argument, the law was divided into 3 groups. moral (10 commandments, etc), ceremonial (clean and unclean things etc), and j

  • @ThatAtheistGuy20 first ya it did say that in the bible but that was meant for the Jews and if you'd actually study the bible you'd also realize that that was part of the old covenant which was replaced by the new covenant when Jesus came so yes Christians do frown upon gays but I wouldn't say we "hate" them, or at least the serious ones

  • @cyclone493 I think you should study your own bible. maybe then you will become and atheist.

    You say the old covenant was changed by jesus, Rofl read this.

    Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

    Jesus says he has not come to destroy the old law??????? so please tell me again about your morals........

  • @ThatAthiestGuy20 we need a divine source because otherwise there is no moral standard. everyones morals would be subjective and they would decide for themselves. also what you said about not killing or raping because you don't want to be killed or raped is directly from the bible. Matthew 22:39 .... 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'

  • @cyclone493 Yes its in the bible, what difference does it make? it says the same thing in thousands of other books too.

    Morals are subjective, take me for instance. I believe it is wrong to mistreat a person based on sexuality as do most people now, but only a few years ago people felt differently. Infact among the religious there is alot of hate towards gay people, they are slaughtered by religious people because it says so in your book.

    Oh how cute religion is.........

  • first of your animal argument is flawed because most predators like wolves will target the weak, young, and old when they hunt. secondly taking care of a baby isn't really morality. you haven't explained where you get your morals for behavior to others such as how you treat them, about adultery ,and lying. and we aren't nice out of fear of a vengeful god. our god is forgiving and being a christian I'm nice because I've come to follow the rule to "treat others as yourself" and I and other Christ

  • @cyclone493 We get our morals from an understanding of how we would like to be treated. Being an intelligent creature we are able to communicate our feeling to others and this allows us an even greater ability to fine tune our morals. I know i should not kill because i would not like to be killed, I do not rape because i know i would not want to be. Its as simple as that. Why must our morals be from a divine source?

  • God is the best explination for why we have morals. I hate when they try to argue "Morals" are connected to god, just like santa shapes the morals of young children, (your bad - no presents). I Don't believe in god, so why do i have morals? Because i believe when i die, i'm done, no memories, no eternal life, just nothingness, and there is no way in hell (Haha) that I want to die early, miserable, and or alone. There are consequences for having no morals just not an eternal one. dontwaistlife!

  • Is there a naked woman on his right side?

  • I think he's reading from a teleprompter...

  • @FlaviusMaximus1967 yeah kinda was, has notes in front of me

  • if god isn't real then what hitler did is only a matter of opinion

  • @3BALL4 Morality is a matter of opinion anyway, this is why we have votes etc, because there is a line where good and bad become subjective.

    also your statement is unfair. you have claimed that without god then whah hitler did was a matter of opinion.

    I could equally say without the flying spaghetti monster what hitler did was a matter of opinion.

    Sorry

  • Wrong 99% of the world species are extinct cause they were atheists.(jk)

  • Sounds like you're out in the wind. Other than that, great content.

  • i never really had any major influence from the bible as a child. i believed in santa for quite a while after i had denounced religion. i never read any of the bible until i was in my late teens and by then i was old enough to not take any of it literally (which i think is one of the flaws of religious people) and yet my morals built themself up fine. i always understood that it's not nice to hurt people and that killing is wrong because it's obvious that i wouldn't want these things done to me.

  • A person's virtues and vices are a condition of his/her circumstances. So,

    if we take a wolf child, brought up by wolves, the child has a moral code but lacks the complexity civilisation has developed. Each religion or philosophy has its embellishments. But because God has little or no scientific knowledge of the Universe he created, the answers to all questions can & will fall upon human science to discover. Eg: Who has the patent rights on morality. Stupid questions included

  • which is why giraffes dont all kick each other to death.

    religious dolts dont have morals, they have rules to abide by, instructions for life. Rules developed by ancient and barbaric humans. they are therefore ancient and barbaric in their views.

    .

  • and Biblical Morality is pretty horrible. Judges ("shophatim") is a horror show of human sacrifice, genocide, ritual murder, and other abominations. Not to mention the famous "10 Ways to Get A Wife" (do a Google look up) -- most of which are illegal in the State of Michigan (buying a prostitute's contract, rape as courtship, purchase, etc.). People who believe in Biblical Morality have not read the Bible.

  • Spot on.

  • PLEASE - Re-do the sound & re-post

  • Some socks need put over the mic - and the speech not so close.

  • A more succinct argument: If I followed every moral standard in the bible, included in those standards would be the persecution/murder of gays, the belief that men are superior to women, and that slavery is okay. No, Christians, it's not up for interpretation. It's your book, so either live by it, or abandon the faith. You don't get to pick and choose what is right and wrong about a holy scripture. If it is holy, it is therefore above your discretion. That is all.

    Good video. :]

  • Thanks nice argument.

  • I do not agree, but I observe your argument as valid

  • Then we will agree to disagree.

  • @ThatAtheistGuy20 if some one says your argument is valid, doesnt that just mean they agree?

  • @CABductionFilms

    if you observe the arguement as valid then which part do you disagree with?

  • Yours is an interesting point re the instances of altruistic behavior among other species. Now, I am ready to let the chips fall where they may in researching humanity's own paper trail leading to its own discrete improvements in altruism. Since there have been discrete improvements, step by step, in the consciously growing inclusiveness of the "social compact", eon by eon, is it possible to study the specific written "proddings" in each eon and determine some common factor behind all of them?

  • Hmm quite possible, i cannot say for certain as this is not my field of experties.

    I think holy texts etc are a great way of seeing how morality has grown even in recent years. I mean you would even dream of going to see a stoning right.

  • Institutional _use_ of holy texts is often pernicious: separatism, exceptionalism, dogmatism ... But recent secular scholarship shows that the earlier the texts -- delving into various strata in the canons of Buddhism, Christianity, whatever -- the more inclusive/egalitarian the tone. Often, the canon is "invaded" by bogus later material also viewed as "holy" but ultimately to the detriment of the first inclusive message. That may or may not say much about atheism vs. theism in general.

  • Amen :) Great explanation..

  • thanks alot
