Killing for the hell of it is bad. The Bible never says that killing to defend is a bad thing.
Well, Pyru was probably referencing to "thou shalt not kill", so I addressed that and how it's not even applicable in the same sense any longer
And all God's people said "Amen." Cronian among them. I must sig-quote that.
Hehe... thanks for that! It's nice to see someone who sigs a quote of mine for a purpose other than making fun of me.

First off, Darwinism is not a religion. So, do not compare it with one.
Your point flew right over my head:
And if religion causes all sorts of these kind of problems: is it JUST religion?
Ever seen Dogma?
Yep, sacreligious, but quite funny.
I hope you don't hate atheists
I EAT THEM >:O! But seriously: I don't... they can be as good as any Christian.
You could always say that atheists don't feel the need to blindly follow
I'd say it's also true in the case of Christianity. Some people blindly follow, but most people prefer to keep their eyes open. [/analogy]
Or, you could also say the opposite - that not having faith is bad. Blah blah blah. Or neither. It dpeends on your view of atheism.
Well, I'm just wondering the point of athiesim. Seriously: what good does it do you? I mean, it's fine not to believe in God, but why not take a more non-commital approach such as many people who claim to be "agnostic" do? (Certainly: I don't believe it's actually achievable to be agnostic, but who am I to judge?) That way you can at least keep in mind the high moral standards that many religious folk have.
I don't care if you're athiest, muslim, or whatever. I judge people by thier actions, not their beliefs. With that said, I'm off to eat my burritos.
Well said!
But those people do not belive what they are doing is bad, from my perspective morals are fairly relative, some stick out such as murder being wrong but thats mostly because people don't generaly want to be killed and most other fairly universal morals seem to follow this idea of things people generaly wouldn't want others to do to them.
And this is what a darwinist would have one believe. Morals are relative: act on instinct: that's fine. After all: it's genetics and survival of the fittest!
Which is another reason why I can't understand athiesm. Rape is only wrong, because it's prohibited by law? :x
No wonder there was that push for beastality in the 80s. Again, I'm not intending to bash athiesm, but I can't-- for the life of me-- understand why you'd want to be an athiest.
