Yet Another Christian Fundamentalist's Bigoted Ramblings About Morality.

 

Q.J. Parr,
a Christian fundamentalist,
wrote:
"you cannot have morals without a purpose, therefore design… I.e. God

Good and bad to an atheist are random and chaotic outcomes of evolution… love a cruel trick for the survival of a species. I pitty humans who live in such a state."

Here, I address his assertions and his prejudice. Q.J. Parr 1. I'm not an atheist.

Religious fundamentalists need to stop assuming everyone who challenges any of their dogmas must be an atheist.

2. Everything you just said to me has no relevance at all to anything I said to you.

All I previously said to you 
was to explain:
a.) 
 "Satan" is a fictional character created by early Christians,
and 
b.) how that has been used to mentally control "sheep".

Why can't fundamentalists follow a conversation?
Why invent a conversation in your own head and then pretend that's the one people are having?

3. Humans don't need permission (real or imagined) from a more powerful Being, in order to have purpose.

4. Deists believe in a "God" but they create their own purposes (plural).
-as do pantheists, pandeists, Stoics, etc.

Purpose
vs
making subjective distinctions between good and bad
vs
belief in a deity
...
are all separate matters unless someone subjectively prefers to link any of those things together.

5. Your assertion that theism validates a person's moral capacity, intuitions, and reasoning, ... is irrational and self-defeating;
because: a.) You're only pretending to have a worldview that validates all other forms of theism as a sound foundation for morality. 
-Which means you're speaking disingenuously.
-Which is what it means to be a "bad faith actor". 

b.) Theism generates randomly divergent moral ideals.
Hence, Christians cannot reach true consensus on moral issues. And nether can the rest of humanity's theists.

So let's stop pretending that "God"-based morality could harmonize and heal the world.
Theistic morality has proven it can't.



In fact, all religious moral-frameworks accomplish is to make moral disagreements impossible to resolve, because: When someone assumes a "God" dictated their morals, they become unwilling to question those ideas. It renders them unable to learn, change, and grow beyond the morality-themed dogmas they've been "sheep"-herded into.

6. ALL moral progress over the past 3000 years has been due to:

a.) Compassion
and
b.) A gradual maturing of human understanding of how our attitudes and actions affect the wellbeing of others and the good function of human social systems.
Ironically, theistic authoritarians usually get in the way of that progress. The only times religious communities have actually helped human moral progress has been when a progressive/left niche of religious people have been drawn to secular ideals and then read those ideals back into their conceptualization of "God". 7. Evolution of Species is a fact. - A fact which most theists (even most Christians) accept. However, biological evolution has not been the sole catalyst for humanity's gradual ethical development. Psychosocial physics (which generate human morality) are more complicated than that. 8. "Good and bad to an atheist are random and chaotic outcomes of evolution… love a cruel trick for the survival of a species."

 I've been observing and researching the differences between theistic and atheistic attitudes and narratives pertaining to human values; for several decades.   

I have yet to come across an atheist who expresses any of the attitudes or reasonings (about morality, life, or human values in general). 

 Your intense disdain for that entire people-group is both uninformed and ugly. 

Your toxic and mind-controlling religious culture 
created an absurd caricature of atheists (and other people-groups).


They did that as a way to suck you into a destructive culture war. 
 
That matters to your 'handlers' because it's a way to:

A.) lock you into their system of control via "identity politics".

That maneuver caused their cult to become mistaken (by you) as "who you are".

As a result, you'll always obey and defend them because you'll mistakenly see it as 'defending yourself', defending society, and 'defending God'. 

In actuality,
you're actually enslaving yourself to your predatory masters' interests,
attacking the fabric of society,
and defaming "God". 
 
B.)
[the other thing they accomplished by tricking you into identity politics]
They weaponized your mind and your political votes
(against the rest of the world) for their own selfish interests. 

You have proven to be incapable of having an ethically mature and rational conversation.

With that being the case, 
I don't intend to continue responding to your further ramblings.
