Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

Morality is not useless.
Therefore, we get to force our moral beliefs on others. (modus tollens)

Originally posted by seer View PostAgain none of this changes the fact that all men bear the image of God. We may (and should) execute the child rapist, that does not however change the fact that he bears God's image, no matter how much the man marred that image. That image or value is not dependent on circumstances or position (slave or not) or on one's behavior (good or bad). That is the whole point.
My majority-non-religious country rejects the death penalty, as it values human life too much to accept execution as a valid penalty for any crime. Its interesting that a non-religious country values human life more than your supposedly-bible-based philosophy."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein
