Quote from vhehn:
these kinds of things should be taught. why however is it necessary to inject a mythical story about a mangod who was impregnated by majic and was killed then came alive again to teach higher ideals?
A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

Quote from vhehn:
are you saying there were no nonchristians helping? are you further saying that if science were to eventually come up with enough evidence falsifying a biblegod to convince even you that you would instantly become evil?
So what was this all about.Quote from jficquette:
No just worthless and self centered which is why you didn't see bus loads of Atheist going to NOLA. Atheists don't give a shit about anyone other then themselves. Human civilization is about working together for the common good but Atheists are only concerned about whats in it for them.

"How wonderful is that â theyâll be rebuilding homes in New Orleans with other atheists and Christians. Canât get more cooperative than that. I mentioned last year that the Atheists, Agnostics, & Freethinkers from the University of Illinois went on a similar trip (and theyâll be doing it again this year, joining up with Ashleyâs group)."
If you are not a bus load of theists you ain't helping NOLA? You would seem to have a bit of nasty theistic bigotry going on there dude.
