ATHEISM versus CHRISTIANITY

.
Everyone has a set of beliefs and the belief there is no God is a belief. People also have morality, combine the two and you have a belief system which in the case of atheists is a morality without God called “Humanism.”

Just about everyone denies the existence of a soul and the impossibility of an afterlife. The logical conclusion is that people can do what they like for tomorrow we die.

Dawkins insists that morality is not based in absolute truth but is based on the consequences or the outcome of our actions. In this way you can justify anything and if you listen to any despot they can always justify their actions. Personally I think it is opening the door for people to do as they like providing they can show some sort of justification for their actions and personally I think people should be stopped from preaching this sort of sedition which is very dangerous imo.

The Bible talks about sedition and it compares the two philosophies and I know which I would rather have. It just seems to me that people prefer the former rather than the latter and this is why society is so sick imo and Richard Dawkins doesn’t help.

Here are the two philosophies:
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:19)
