We can all agree that killing is evil right? Well, God doesn't seem to agree. I am not a Satanist, I'm without a religion (atheist).

But this is messed up.

Your thoughts?

Topics:
Is it okay to kill what you've created?


athiesm isn't without religion it's downright displacing the very existance of god, and not beileve at all.

With that said don't take anything the bible says seriosly it's all old out dated book they've bine changing from hundreds of years via telephone tag. The tower of babel was a jewish joke, jesus was a chiropractor who was miss translated as "walking on water" when he walked on the shore, and mosses collecting water from a rock a geologist did that in iraq aswell somthing about salt crusting around the water or whatever.

Anyway no not really. You should take pride and responcibility in your creation no matter what it is. Anything a human creates can be a beatifull miracle or a hideous dis-figured accident..if it's the later yes you can kill it I suppose or "destroy" it puted nicely. Thats what evolution does. It gets rid of the mistakes and only lets the good copies survive thats god at work.


@bold.. how can atheism "displace" what it doesnt feel was there to begin with? atheism IS without religion. it is the total absence of belief in deity. religion consists of first of all... a god (at least one), worship, congregation, and traditions. atheism has NONE of that. atheists do not 'congregate' and talk about the principles of atheism. there are no stories they share, no worship, and most of all, no god.


You over thought what I said. It was a simple one sentance definition of athiesm not a complex thing with many diffrent meanings. neutral


sorry.. but when you make a statement saying "atheism isnt without religion" seemed pretty straight forward to me, with no other way to interpret it.. and in that light, it's completely in error. so if that's not what you meant, what indeed did you mean? smile


I ment the definition of athiesm doesn't mean "without religion" athiesm is a um practice or whatever of not beileveing in god not having a religion. I didn't mean for it to come out so ridely....

.. up from the depths..thirty stories high..breathing fire! His head in the sky!!!! GODZILLAA!!!!!!!

lol ok smile that does sound a bit better. I have a lot of strict atheist friends and they argue vehemently that atheism isnt a practice, nor a belief. they make a big to-do with the difference in semantics regarding "atheism is the belief there is no god" vs "atheism lacks belief". I see what they're saying, but also on the other hand, I can see how it can be seen as the same thing said differently. I really do hate arguing over semantics. so long as I know what the person means in truth, it's all good smile

I'm confused.

Are you saying it's not fair that people in this world die because God allows it/murders? God is not killing people - in the sense that people in this world can understand - when they die. The world wouldn't exist if people in it couldn't perish.

in the bible, the god of the old testamant committed genocide and decimated many cities, for no more of a reason than he wanted to give the cities to his nomadic desert followers, and calling them evil for worshipping idols and false gods. the loving, merciful god people conceives of today wouldve just introduced himself at their front door so they would believe. so if this god IS real, he is a murderer in my eyes.
