This time it's Vox Day going after PZ Myers.
This is the naked face of atheism, ladies and gentlemen. Look on it well and remember it, because it usually doesn't dare to show its disgusting and anti-human nature so openly. |
Well, I had to comment on that, see the comment for 1/22/11 10:24 AM Vox said: It's probably a good thing he is an atheist without any moral standards, otherwise he might demonstrate at least a modicum of conscience for the bloody acts in which he appears to take such pride. Right, coming from one of those who worships the same god who, in the OT, repeatedly had pregnant women and babies killed...
Yep. It's us atheists who have no moral standards.
Here's a tip, Theodore: follow your own holy book's advice about taking the log out of your own eye before attending to the splinter in someone else's.
Gotta love that good ol' fashined xian moral absolutism! |
Get a load of the idiot who comments right after me. Notice anything?

Your comment seems to have gone missing, except for remnants quoted by others.
But "wrf3" at 1/22/11 11:27 AM gives the game away:It's trivially easy. God determines the time when every single individual dies: babies, children, teens, adults. So either God has determined that "babies" will die at the hands of abortion doctors, or humans have the ability to overpower God's Will.
Given the Commandment against murder, it must be the latter, and thus we can conclude that God isn't omnipotent. |

Well, I tried one long post, only to have it f**d up by "coo-coo comment" so I posted the following right after that in three small posts. Totally kills the effect though, damnit!
Oh well.
Vox: Easily. God's game, God's rules. The Creator sets the moral standard, He does not abide by it. If so, then how can one make any judgements as to god's "morality" one way or the other? If he does something that we consider evil, that isn't allowed to count, but when he does something we consider good, that's used as evidence that he's "holy" (whatever the hell that means!) or "good".
You can't have it both ways. What you describe is a fundamentally hypocritical being who refuses to follow the rules he sets for others.
What moral standard does he follow then, and how could you tell that he does?
Not being the Creator or the referee, you have no more standing to criticize who is or is not killed than a cornerback has to decide whether a flag is thrown for pass interference or not. Well, one thing: In sports one can see the action that one is arguing about whether it took place or not. While we're talking about (supposed) physical actions, we're arguing about the morality of them.
Analogy fail.
You'll notice that NFL coaches often stand on the field during a play, and yet no flags are ever thrown for 12 men on the field. Usually those coaches aren't killing people though, unlike your god. Get a better analogy.
Do you understand why there is no contradiction or hypocrisy there? No, because there is. It's a plain double-standard.
This isn't rocket science;... No, it's religious apologetic gerrymandering, which is more twisted by far than any branch or application of the physical sciences.
...even an atheist should be able to grasp the analogy. And it is both ironic and ignorant for you to accuse a religious individual of being self-righteous; it is the atheist who actually claims to be self-righteous. Wrong. We just don't advocate mass genocide like your god does, and then run around pretending to be "pro-life".
If protesting genocide makes one self-righteous in your eyes, so be it. Given your "moral" stances, especially on certain women's issues (later below) your opinion of me means less to me than used toilet paper. Though like a certain poster here from another forum, it is fun to come in here every once in a while...
The Christian theological position is that no one is self-righteous, in fact, no one is even capable of being self-righteous, since they can only justified through Jesus Christ. Actually, the Christian position is that no one is righteous, not "no one is self-righeous". Self-righteous just describes an attitude.
By the way, what do you think Christ's opinions on rape would be, Theo?
Remember? (http://voxday.blogspot.com/2009/08/there-is-no-marital-rape.html) (http://voxday.blogspot.com/2005/11/rape-myth.html)
I somehow doubt that your friend PZ Myers would share your views on rape, so I guess that means that he's less "moral" than you?
So go ahead; demonize Myers and athiests in general for being "pro-choice" (even though not all of us are), and in your minds committing the murders of babies which your own god repeatedly does, and keep calling yourselves "moral". That voxytoad, is true self-righteousness.
If what you say here (http://voxday.blogspot.com/2010/09/amoral-essence-of-atheism.html), where if there is no God then there are no Rules, I have news for you: It's xians like you who have no morals, not us. Societies devise rules, gods or no gods.
Did your father's insanity get passed on to you or something? (http://scienceblogs.com/denialism/2008/04/vox_days_crazy_dad_threatens_j.php)
I'd feel sorry for you, being raised by that nutcase, but you're just as much of, if not worse, of a jackass then he ever was.
Too bad you have an ego that's too big for your head. All that talk about how smart you are, yet you have trouble designing a simple computer mouse? Christ would be proud of your modesty, I'm sure!
To Spacebunny Let's see: Myers is cowardly is he? He publishes a blog under his real name, with a picture and contact details.
What's your name, picture, and contact information, hmmm? Remember: You called him a coward. Put your money where your mouth is, honey.
He also, despite your husband's prediction, publically desecrated a Koran, a cracker, and a copy of one of Dawkin's books. (http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/07/the_great_desecration.php)
Vox's "prediction": (http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=69524)
But the ecumenicality of Myers's willingness to commit sacrilege entirely beside the point, as what actually demonstrates the cowardly nature of this self-aggrandizing atheist is the fact that there is no chance that he will follow through on his anti-cracker threats now that it is clear there may be material consequences, however minor, to his actions |

What I find truly disgusting about the anti-abortion crowd is that they are also against the very things that are proven to lessen the need for abortion. Things like condoms, birth control pills, and proper sex education. They are are indirectly responsible for many unwanted pregnancies. |

Looks like "Spacebunny" has decided to give Vox a helping hand in dealing with me; I'm fighting with her now.
My replies to her: 1/24/11 1:36 PM
By the way, you silly little bint: I was on topic: I was talking about abortion, and pointed out how hypocritical you religious pro-lifers are, to condemn PZ Myers for being pro-choice, while worshipping a god who ordered the killings of pregnant women and children in the OT. |
1/24/11 1:48 PM I noticed that you left Vox's insult towards me stand, but edited out my reply.
I was only speculating on why your husband is the way he is. By the way, an ad-hom is when you attack the person instead of the argument.
I only insulted him after I made my case. (Assuming of course, you didn't get your little paws on those posts of mine either.)
It's not an ad-hom then, it's just an insult.
You know, like your hubby does to atheists constantly here?
Oh well. I'll just repeat what I've said earlier:
Vox Day's father is then not insane, he's just a criminal who says that god wants him to get rid of the judge: (http://www.startribune.com/local/17984759.html?page=1&c=y)
My father on the other hand, obeys the law and takes responsibility for his own actions.
So yeah, your husband's got me beat there. My father is nothing like his.
Toodles. |
To those who are interested, my reply to TobyTemple who defends that moral double-standard of killing, etc. is at 1/24/11 1:32 PM TobyTemple There is your error. I hope you learned from that. After all, you made that statement.
You said that God set the rules for others. Then why are you demanding that He follow the rules that are FOR OTHERS and not for Him? Are you really that stupid?
Again, as repeated here so many times, God's Game. God's Rules. The problem of your question "how can one make any judgments as to god's morality one way or the other?" is that it stems from a fundamental error on your thinking. Before you ask such stupid question ask this first: WHAT MADE YOU THINK THAT ANY GOD IS SUBJECT TO YOUR MORAL STANDARDS?
Your own holy book. It goes on and on about how "holy" and "righteous" your god is. So if the book makes the claim, then the book should be able to back up the claim.
Your argument would ring true only if the bible had never made any claims (positive or negative) about the moral character of your god. Even worse. your bible even says that we have to live up to your god's standards.
Matthew 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Doesn't the sound like the standards that he sets for us are actually the same standards the he himself has? Otherwise, if god is not supposed to follow the rules he sets for us, that verse or the ones around it, make no sense.
You never answered Toby: How can humanity judge this "god" to be evil OR good if he is not required to follow the rules he sets for us?
How can we tell if he's "holy" or "righteous" or not then? Where in the bible then is the standards for god's behaviour written out? I know that he's not supposed to be able to lie, but even a cursory reading of the "holy book" shows that's bunk. |

It's not a moral issue where "blame" is particularly important. Sure, it's Joe's fault that he has malaria, he was dumb for not taking his meds correctly, but beyond that, who cares? |

Eliminate the puritanical idiocy that tells you things like actual sex education, condoms, birth control (and so on) are wrong, and you will decrease unplanned pregnancy Robb. The evidence is in and the religious side of this argument has lost. Does abstinence work to prevent pregnancy? Sure. In the same way that driving the speed limit prevents speeding tickets. No one is really going to be abstinent nor always drive the speed limit. No one. The religious delusion that lets people think teenagers have enough self control to govern their hormones is the actual problem Robb, not teenagers and others having sex. Teach kids proper methods to protect themselves and you eliminate a lot of the problem though.

I do if it's willful ignorance. But why aid and abet the problem by trying to ban the very things that would alleviate the situation? |

I put in my 2 cents on the Vox Day website, not that it will do much good. I keep wondering why "pro-lifers" aren't more concerned about infant mortality and having protests about infant mortality. I figure some of these people are more concerned about suppressing women's rights than about "human life."
He also had the gall to say abortion was safer before Roe v Wade. Somebody is telling an outright lie.
It is important to know how these people think, but I don't think I can read comments on the website again. |

Tell me about it; I don't know if I can force myself to go back there again; it's unbelievable. And yet they call atheists "depraved". Point out to them how their own god acts, and they call you stupid, and say "as we point out again and again here, God's Game, God's Rules". My reply to TobyTemple above tries to deal with that.
Is it still on their site?
There is no moral consistency in fundiesm. |
