how do atheists reconcile with a lack of morality and why do they choose to embrace illegal acts such as sodomy and other degeneracy while christians choose meaningful lives?
>>
>>18246622
You don't live a meaningful life tho. You're wasting your youth on an obscure bot infested debate board.
>>
>>18246622
They don't embrace it, they are just not forgiven for it. But they are not charged for it either. It's kind of a zero sum thing.

Though what good is degeneracy anyway?

>atheists have no morality
LMAO, no god = no morals is a tired, weak-ass argument. Atheists get morals from empathy, logic, and the social contract, not fear of hell. You only behave because sky daddy might spank you?

>choose illegal acts like sodomy
Fucking cringe. Laws ≠ morality, christcuck. Your holy book also says not to mix fabrics and to stone disobedient kids. You picking and choosing, or you follow all those too? Degeneracy is just your cope for being a judgemental prick.

>christians choose meaningful lives
Massive cope! Atheists find meaning in family, art, science, and helping others... real shit, not just cosplaying for a celestial promotion. Plenty of Christians are hateful, greedy trash. Your belief is a virtue signal.
>>
>>18246672
>Atheists get morals from empathy,
People's empathy varies from person to person.
>logic
Logic can't give you morality, ethics at most.
>and the social contract
So if the social contract were to change, so would your morality?
> Laws ≠ morality
You just said that you got morality from the social contract, which is the law. Which one is it retar?
> Your holy book also says not to mix fabrics and to stone disobedient kids.
Those rules were for the ancient Israelites, not for us.
>You picking and choosing
All atheist "morality" is picking and choosing, stop being a hypocrite.
>Atheists find meaning in family, art, science, and helping others...
Atheists have the biggest rates of depression and suicide, turns out that no, science and art and family don't give your life meaning, Ecclesiastes was right.
>>
>>18246709
>people's empathy varies from person to person.
So fucking what? Objective morality is a cope. Your own book has genocide and slavery, you just ignore it.

>logic can't give you morality, ethics at most.
There is no ethical should without the logical if.

Atheist logic&ethics = if you want a functioning society, then...
Your ethics = muh God said so = Ultimate appeal to authority!

Our meaning is built, not handed down like a shitty participation trophy.

> You just said that you got morality from the social contract, which is the law. Which one is it retar?
Social contract ≠ written law, you illiterate. It is the foundation of law. And yes, it evolves. Your morality evolves too, you just pretend it doesn't while wearing mixed fabrics and shit.

>atheists have the biggest rates of depression and suicide
Because we don't pretend suffering is part of a sky daddy's plan. We actually try to fix the world.
>>
>>18246725
secular = highest HDI, IQ, lowest crime rates (Japan, Sweden, etc.)

meanwhile religious places are poverty/rape capitals

Also, project harder about pedos, your clergy's childsex booking is full and your faith relies on childhood indoctrination.

You're a hedonist too. You literally argue against atheism by saying that it makes people sad lmao.
>>
>>18246732
>So fucking what?
So if people were to base their morality on their empathy, they'd reach very different conclusions and would be in conflict with one another. It's not a good foundation for morality.
>There is no ethical should without the logical if.
And you have to prove the if first, which logic can't do, you'd have to go with presuppositionalism for that, and I'm not sure that you want to do that.
>if you want a functioning society
A lot of atheists would argue that the society we're living under is not functional and it ought to be torn down. I'd really have to depend on your definition of "functional", some people want a socialist state, some a capitalist state, some want anarchism, some want monarcy, some want democracy, some technocracy.

Also there's the fact that you can have perfectly functional societies that endorse things such as slavery, child marriage, even human sacrifice and cannibalism, things that we'd both find morally repugnant, and yet, their societies work just fine.. Morality is not necessary for a functional society.
>And yes, it evolves.
Then in changes, then you have no moral highground for judging Christians for supposedly "picking and choosing" their morality when you do the same.
>Because we-
Thank you for conceding that atheist are dysgenic, nihilistsic, losers who don't have children and don't build the future.

>>
>>18246732

No, this is cope, atheists are depressed specifically BECAUSE they believe the world is unfixable, if they didn't think that they wouldn't be depressed, they'd be hopeful. Add to that the fact that they think there's nothing after death, nor is there divine retribution for evil-doing or reward for being righteous, and it makes total sense that they'd be depressed with such a bleak outlook in life.
>Because we don't pretend suffering is part of a sky daddy's plan.
People who believe in God and think suffering is part of God's plan have an insentive to be hopeful even in the worst situations and see meaning in them. These are not the same people.
>>
>>18246743
>you'd have to go with presuppositionalism for that
Atheists get ours moral from well-being and consent, not an invisible sky book supposings.

> you can have perfectly functional societies that endorse things such as slavery
Theist MORALITY everyone! Slavery and child rape are perfectly functional apparently.

>you have no moral highground for judging Christians
If morals evolve and improve, then judging past christian atrocities is valid.

Why does Christianity entirely revolve around gay sex? You can’t even hypothetically accuse atheists of anything “illegal” except sodomy.

Which vary greatly from person to person, each person has a different definition of well-being or where the boundaries of consent lie. You act as if these things are universals that everyone agrees on. They're absolutely not.
>Theist MORALITY everyone!
What does me stating that fact have to do with my morality? I just said that those are things that we'd BOTH find morally repugnant.
>Slavery and child rape are perfectly functional apparently.
Yes? Entire civilizations had both of those things and they worked perfectly fine for centuries. That doesn't mean it was ok, just that, as I said, morality is not necessary for having a functional society. All you really need is for the majority of the society to be on the same page and agree on certain norms, the actual content of such norms varies greatly though.
>If morals evolve and improve, then judging past christian atrocities is valid.
Well no, because IF morality evolves, then the people of that time were simply following the morality at the stage at which it was during their lifetimes. They couldn't have followed a greater morality than that which was available to them at the time.
>>

Child rape and slavery are perfectly fine according to you??? Your god is either evil, imaginary, powerless or all the above.

Your whole cope falls apart because abolitionists and reformers EXISTED IN THOSE SOCIETIES. They had the greater morality you claim is impossible without God (it was not!).

No?

Which were mostly Christians, by they way. I guess you should thank Christian thinkers and activists for such moral progress.

There is no difference between Muslims and chrisian conservatives (white sharia).

So... why couldn't so-called Christians figure out that these things were bad from the very beginning? Aren't they supposed to have perfect, God-given, objective morality?

The entirety of the abolitionist movement in the West came from Christians. It was Christians who ended slavery.
> Aren't they supposed to have perfect, God-given, objective morality?
Just because God gives you perfect morality doesn't mean that one has the capacity to follow such morality perfectly.
>>18246787
>So you are suddenly side with woke feminists now?
No? I just follow the Bible. The Bible also says that women ought to be quiet in church, are not allowed to have positions of authority in the church, and that wives must submit to their husbands.

Atheists control the world. God does not exist and no amount of rage and posting stupid shit on 4chan is going to change the way reality works.
You will never have a great religious revival at this point in human history. The reality of the nonexistence of God and the truth of Materialism and Scientific knowledge has utterly destroyed the super-naturalist and religious mindset. The only people who cling to it are cowards and retards. We are only a few years away from machines surpassing humans in all respects and at that point it's completely over.
>>
>>18246792
>How is choosing what religion to follow based on your preferences different from just choosing how to act based on your preferences?
I don't know, I don't do that. I'm not Christian because of my preferences, but simply because I believe it to be true. If I was given evidence that Islam was the one true religion, I'd become Muslim.

The entire institution of slavery came from them, too. And no amount of Bible reading helped them make the simple moral choice to not enslave millions of African-Americans. Why do we even need God if His followers couldn't see that slavery was wrong? Admit it christians, your so-called objective moral truths are too hard for you and God himself didn't even help you stop slavery.
>>
>>18246806
>The entire institution of slavery came from them, too.
.......I'm pretty sure that slavery wasn't invented by Christians anon.......
>And no amount of Bible reading helped them make the simple moral choice
Well it's very simple: what is the greatest commandent according to Christ? To love the Lord our God with all our heart and above all things, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. None of us want to be enslaved, so we don't enslave others, like wise if we were enslaved, we'd want to be freed, so we free others.

Simple.

Atheists can't make this simple moral calculation based on their atheism.

Yeah but I'm talking about what importance you assign to certain features of moral systems, stuff like that. Surely the most important features should be things that actually affect how people act irl.

But we have to establish how we measure such effects and actions first.

Most atheists are weak atheists, that's why they have such high rates of depression. Most atheists are not militant who feel like they're on a mission to destroy religion (which are the ones most people dislike, just like overzealous religious preachers). Most are passive.
>>
>>18246841
I didn't make the data, I'm just telling you how it is.
God isn't real, atheists are not depressed, Jesus did not rise from the dead and Jesus is never, ever coming back.
I'm sorry you can't accept reality. There will never, ever be a great christian or religious revival. Atheism continues to grow faster than any religion. There will be no christians and only atheists in the near future.
>>
>>18246840
I'm not even talking about whether an effect is good or bad, I'm rather talking about whether there is an effect at all.
>>
>>18246827
Where is self-report? I just know that without Jesus, my own thoughts would be very gay, very often. I am glad He protects me from taking it up the ass, because He shows what is wrong. So it's simple: without Him, we would all be doing that. That's why we need God's rules for morality. Pray the gay away, godspeed.

They aren't, this is a lie that comes from one document called "the quiet revival" which showed church attendance in the UK went up from 8% to 12%. Overall, atheism continues to grow faster than any religion, and gen Z is the most atheistic generation ever.
