Christians are more trustworthy than atheists, and here's why.

Christians are forbidden to lie, whereas atheists are not. This causes the atheist to lie considerably much more. If lying is beneficial to the atheist, and he believes he can get away with it, what's stopping him? Lying goes from being a sin to being a useful strategy.

Yes, christians lie too, but not as much. Restrictions work, otherwise the legal system wouldn't (or any other kind of rules/norms for that matter).

The average atheist is the person who would see no problem lying in a job interview, on his CV, to the girl he's flirting with, to his friends when he'd rather stay at home than going out, etc. They lie literally every day.

Atheism is inherently immoral and this just proves it.

Except it's not, is it? Do restrictions not work? Do people not avoid doing certain things strictly because it is illegal? Or because it's not the norm?

What's stopping an atheist from lying? It's like I said in the OP. If lying has a beneficial outcome for the atheist, he has no reason to not lie. Now YOU may appeal to emotion, but that's irrational, since reason supersedes emotion. In an atheistic worldview only the self matters.

I don't lie, but that's for different reasons.

You can achieve the same result by not getting caught in a lie. That's what I'm saying. If an atheist can get away with lying, he has no reason not to lie (inb4 appeal to emotion again, even though we've been through this).

No, it's mutually beneficial and does good things for me. It is ultimately selfish, but then again, so is subservience to God. Not only that but it is in my instinct as a human to value other humans. It is natural, and I have had it from birth. In the bible, it is said that it was thirteen on our hearts, but as someone who believes in evolution, social creatures had an evolutionary advantage in this regard.

>Just because you assign arbitrary worth to other people it doesn't automatically give them worth.

You're making the assumption that religion is the only source of morality (a sense of right and wrong) but there has been many secular arguments for objective secular morality and even its superiority to religion.

Most secular morality wouldn't consider lying necessarily as immoral, however they would consider fraud as immoral which is deceiving others at their expense to benefit yourself.

Not all lying is fraudulent, so for example if you ask me my favourite colour and I lie that's not immoral by more secular standards but if you ask me if my car works correctly and I lie and say yes, and then sell you that car, that would be fraudulent and immoral.

Interestingly I don't see many religions out there that make this distinction between moral and immoral lying, which is just 1 example of why secular morality is superior.

Ultimately belief in Christianity and the morals is becoming less in western society as atheism is on the rise and it's specifically because of problems with religious morality, it's not objective and there's no reason to believe in one gods so called word, than another, when you can't even demonstrate the god exists to begin with.

I've explained why it does. Because I pay a price, being my time, patience, and so on, to preserve and aid the lives of others, I have assigned them real worth. That is literally how worth is determined. They are worth my patience, love, and time, because that is what I am willing to pay for them.
>No, that's precisely what it is not. If you refrain from lying (when it could benefit you) for the simple reason that "it's wrong", then it's not beneficial, is it?
This isn't true. Lying has a risk associated with it, and it can cause damage even if it is potentially beneficial. I lie just as much as a Christian, if not less, because God can forgive sins. I don't believe in a God, and I know that some sins won't be forgiven by people.

>So? It's still irrational.
It is of benefit. If we work together, and their is a loving and caring environment around me, it makes me feel good, and sets me up for success.

Stop being a moron. Some atheists, perhaps even most, are morally depraved. I however, probably live more biblically morally than you do, because the real world might not forgive my sins, and I need to keep that in mind.

The mutually beneficial tenets of liberty. Plus whatever social instinct tells us to do. Anything else and we would damage the delicate framwork of our society.

It is rationalized by it's merits as a system that works, which is why Christian nations that adopted it, as it was part of their religion, prospered.

The morals of the new testimate are largely the most reasonable for a society that considers everyone deserving of equal opportunity.

Not only are these systems evolutionary explained and effective, but they are also written on our hearts, or so you would believe if you were a Christian.

So it should be no surprise to you that and atheist who isn't a faggot, living in a christian society can be moral, even exceptionally so.

>Ultimately belief in Christianity and the morals is becoming less in western society as atheism is on the rise And that's one of the many reasons why western civilization is turning to shit.
Belief in religious dogma and religious morals are on the decline because many of them don't make sense or cannot be reasoned from first principles, they have to be accepted as fiat from whatever god the religion holds as an authority. The problem is that people are starting to demand reasonable degrees of evidence for the existence of that authority and theists have failed to provide it.

Just the simple fact that there's many purported gods around the world and many of them fundamentally disagree on issues of morality, and they all claim to be true and accurate leads to paradoxical morality, it means that one thing we can be certain of is that not all religions can be correct, it's not logically coherent.

And when you increase your expectation for evidence that belief in any one particular god is true over any other god what you find is that all religions equally lack evidence.

Maybe mention that. Don't lump me in to it when there is nothing at all inconsistent or problematic with my worldview, especially when I am respectful enough not you guys out on inconsequential rubbish.

I'd like to rest on the point that I believe an atheistic society can be entirely moral. There is nothing about believing in something as arbitrary as a deity that dictates morality. On the other hand, I will concede that Christianity does a better job and keeping social checks and balances than anything I can think of in most atheistic systems.

That's because the prevailing belief is that not all lying is immoral. It might be a undesireable character trait in say someone you want to be close to or even intimate with. But there's nothing fundamentally immoral about lying.

If you want to claim there is then you have to demonstrate how you arrive at that conclusion, and if that reasoning is "there's a god and he says.." then you need to demonstrate existence of that god. This has been the single point of failure for all religion everywhere, it's just not a respectable belief anymore in modern society.

>Define damage to society, then tell me why your definition of damage is morally wrong

Damage to society would be an event resulting in an illiberal perception, or more basically, a system in which there is justification for throwing your own countrymen (or tribe in the context of social evolution) under the bus.

>Define "works"

Well, it works because it, if done effective, does a great job at giving you an opportunity to live a fulfilling and good life. This system essentially guarantees you a good life at birth if you are willing to seize it, so from birth to death, it benefits the majority of people. While it is more of a fee fees argument for people in positions of power to belie in this system, it is rational for most people to believe in it. Considering it facilitates capitalism it is also ration for the powerful people in most cases I suppose. If that is too fuzzy for you (and I understand if it is) then just look at it based on it's merits.

>Why is equal opportunity good? If it's because "it works", see the two replies right above

Equal opportunity will guarantee you an opportunity at a good life. Other systems would have you clawing to the top hoping you were born strongest, essentially having you role the genetic dice. Yes, it does just work, by the definition I prescribed above.

>That's just a description of facts, not an explanation for "why" they should remain in place and unchanged

And? I was explaining to the Christian reader that it is reasonable for atheists to think and act like them, bar God.

>Define "being moral", give examples, then tell me why they are moral.

Being moral is acting on social instinct at it's core, because that fields results as I have described above.

If you think any of my answers were unsatisfactory, let me know. I enjoy it when people make me think.

If you remove the completely arbitrary sin of denying Gods existence, then yeah atheists are immoral. It completely robs the logic out of morality. That is a rule for the sheeple to keep actual morals over their heads, and as a result, I approve. And I say sheeple endearingly, because we are social creatures. It is our strength.

>Disgusting. There's no justification for sin.

I don't believe that you don't commit calculated sin. And if you don't then you are the one who is evil. You wouldn't tell a lie to save your family form fucking torture and death? Fuck you then. You are the true animal here. Of all of the actions described here, feeling good about yourself in exchange for the lives of your family is the only evil one. You are the dumbest Christian I have ever met if you think your holy book wants to drag you to the fucking grave.

It is the only plausible explanation for genetic diversity. It explains so much.

Theory in science is of a higher order than law. The Newtonian Laws are based of physical theory, for example. Evolution, in laymen's terms, is considered by all of science to be a fact.

Explanatory capability is considered evidence in science, because it is logical, and logic is considered evidence in science, because mathematical proofs are considered evidence in science, and that is because they have 100% predictive capability.

Of course, I am a physicist, and you are um.. something, so neither of us are qualified to make a judgment. So, rather that making guesses, and yourself jumping to conclusions, you should study evolution at a good university.

Good as in moral, or good as in self beneficial, because they aren't really the same, if you were able to extrapolate meaning from my previous comments, you would kind of get why.

I have explained this. It puts you and the people you love at risk. It makes bad feelings. The Buddhists actually explain this concept very well. I'm not sure about books on the subject, I heard it straight form the mouth of a nice young female monk at a Temple near where I live.

I did. Something tells me you are looking for anything that might be a flaw in my argument rather than first being charitable and trying to extract meaning.

From a christian standpoint, because God essentially gave us a common morality. From an evolutionary standpoint, the advancement of the species was propagated by the concepts I have described.

Funny that you, the christian, is the one scheming for a reason to lie. It's like you are trying to either convince yourself to be an atheist so that you can lie like you really want to, or are just jealous of the strawman you have created.

Second I understand parents forcing their religion on their kids. They have spent their whole life believing it is the true path to a better after life and they want us to have it too. I am not saying you should embrace it for their sake but you can always lie about embracing it too your parents than trying to destroy something they have believed in for decades.

I tried to use terminology so you could understand.

Most people with morals don't need labeling to know how to behave. For others there is religion. I am not saying religion is bad, it is deffinitely needed because many people just don't know how to react to the world arround us and need a helping hand that will guide them through life.

Who's the moral authority? Humans? What human? Morals become subjective, not objective, and that results in moral relativism, not universalism.

No. The problem with this argument is that it begets the question: Whose "biology" are we talking about? People seem to have different concepts of what is wrong and what isn't. Who is right? What society? Not to mention that it's irrational and quite frankly intellectually dishonest to assume that there is an ultimate standard of right and wrong that supersedes mere fanciful "ideas" about what is right and wrong at a given time in our ethical evolution.

It depends on what your goal as a society is. If you ask most atheists how they think a society should be structured, most would agree on focusing on the health, happiness and well being of as many people as possible.

From this simple premise you can justify banning pedophilia (which the bible doesn't oppose?). Incest can cause mutated offspring, again, not good for society or the individual born. transgenderism doesn't harm others, its just an individual being weird. they are allowed to do that.

Well being, health and happiness are things that all humans strive to increase. It's a result of evolution. This is why our rules in society are usually oppose stealing and raping etc.

We don't need a sky fairy to tell us these things.

But your morals are just as relative as theirs, considering that you were willing to accept the morals of other contradictory religions just two posts ago?

Most people have their moral framework because for them it's the best one. Them chosing it makes it universal, since they judge other moral frameworks from that perspective.

Just like you do with yours - you just outsourced the "authority" part to some third party, but nothing stops seculars from doing the same, and like you showed two posts prior, you'd accept that. So what exactly is the issue?

Sure they are. It's good for the one cutting off the hand (since he'll be more attractive to females, and he will have a better chances of scoring jobs, surviving, etc), but bad for the guy getting his hand cut off.

The Bible advocate sexual intercourse if the girl is of age. Pedophilia refers to prepubescent children, hence it's not pedophilia to have sex with a person that is sexually mature.

Our current inability to find the "truth" doesn't mean it's not out there. I completely believe that there are universal moral values and I'm doing my best to find out what they are and follow them. We're an evolving species and morality is another thing that evolves with us. Drawing the line with "god" and proclaiming that we "know" the truth is ignorant as fuck and shows just how naive you are to get your moral values served on a silver platter by backward savages.

Because it results in mutual property which guarantees and individual freedom.

>Why are these bad?

Because everyone hates them. Everyone hates feeling bad. People that don't are obviously not feeling bad, or getting a kick of of feeling bad, hence making it good. Things that feel bad are bad, things that feel good are good. If you want to learn more about this, do some digging and look into Buddhism. It is easily the most developed philosophical source on the topic.

>Not really. Do it again then please
One that allows you to feel good. If it would make others feel bad, then you are compromising yourself, and should be excluded from that system in order to protect the abject perfection. That's where we get law from.

>What do you mean by "advancement", and why is it good?

it isn't subjective. It is. Let's use another analogy than your "cutting of hands."

Say rape is legal in a country (which it basically is, in certain ones). If a woman gets raped (i.e. against sex against her will) that can be considered hurtful to her, but good for the rapist (since he gets sexual gratification and gets to secure his procreation). See how it's relative? There is no moral universalism in the absence of God. There simply isn't.

Sounds like you're stretching the definition but ok, I'll ask you this then: What "kick" would I get if I throw myself on a grenade which would kill someone I care about?

Am I enjoying every moment of the dread of dying? Would it really feel that good?

>One that allows you to feel good. If it would make others feel bad, then you are compromising yourself, and should be excluded from that system in order to protect the abject perfection. That's where we get law from.

Just out of curiosity. Why should your feelings be as important as mine? I can't see why there should be an equality of feelings to be honest

What a silly thing to lie about, and it instantly ruins your whole argument even before you get to finish. Its sad to see such dishonesty come from someone on a moral high horse, all youve managed to do here is prove you are dishonest. Also, religion relies on the advancement of the sciences, understand your god agreed to barbaric things and to deny that is to deny your bible and your god altogether....and proves you lie. Stop being dishonest.
