The implication clearly is that this would not happen in a life life with 'moral parameters set out by the 10 commandments'. Coupled with a photo of Baby P. for good measure. Nice stuff :rolleyes:
Of course it's a sweeping generalisation that theists have caused all the trouble on the planet which is pretty much what is being currently said and implied by many 'militant' atheists...

It's still true that us atheists have no better handle on life than any other group though. ;)

Erm yes, but that's not what she said, or implied.

I have never met an atheist that claimed to have any better way of running things purely that they didn't believe in a god of any sort and other then that there is no difference between them and people of faith in how they live their life to suggest otherwise shows total ignorance.

Plenty of them want religion kept out of schools, which I'm pressuming they think is a better way of running things.

Ignorance is exclusive of beliefs (or lack of).

Depends how the religion is presented and taught.

Most, but the most militant, I'm sure would have no problem with R.E. that teaches children about ALL the main faiths around the world. In fact I think it is essential in todays world.

What I am against is creationism and I.D. being taught as fact.

" life without a spiritual sense of purpose, or the moral parameters set by the Ten Commandments -- is a living hell."



moral parameters ! presumably the same moral perameters as used by the catholic priesthood, when there abusing small boys. :mad::mad::mad:

Creationism and ID are a different matter. But as for 'militants', I can only surmise that there's a lot of them on CF if those are the parameters.

Poor Mary should note that the social ills for which she blames atheism, began at a time of mass religious delusion in this country. It was under that mass delusion that the rape and disgusting abuse of children was tolerated. It was the church, under the guidance of Ratzinger, which implemented a policy of collusion with clerical sex abuse, reckoning that the public perception of the church was more important than the suffering of children. Suffer the little children indeed. It was the church that presided over the evaporation of moral behaviour in this land, and it has nothing to do with atheism.

She's sticking up for Christianity itself, not 'the church'.

Speaking of which, why aren't paedophilia and rape on the list?

Honor your father and your mother

you shall not kill

Neither shall you commit adultery

Neither shall you steal

Neither shall you bear false witness against your neighbour

Neither shall you covet your neighbour's wife

Neither shall you desire your neighbor's house
....
Or was there another tablet that was dropped and broken on Mount Sinai?

Samo,samo...all the wars were the fault of religion,all the abuse is the fault of religion.Everything bad is down to religion and all people of all faiths.

Every good deed done in the name of religious faith is totally ignored.:rolleyes:

Yes we atheists are capable of being good moral upright people BUT we don't have the ownership of morals or being honest wonderful people.WE are as capable of truly awful behaviour as many theists are.
