Across the planet with unjust wars, uncertainty & convulsions in people’s lives, belief in gods and religion is rising. Broad controversy and debate rages over god, atheism, faith, and science. Last November, an overflow crowd came out at NYU for Morality Without Gods: Part 1. Don’t miss Part 2, when 3 non-believers will discuss their views on:
- If you don't believe in god, where do you get your morality from?
- Why is science not just "another belief system”?
- Could we/should we do away with belief in gods?

Sunsara Taylor campus speaking tour. A talk on Away With All Gods! Unchaining the Mind and Radically Changing the World.
But, but, I thought Ray Comfort had already settled this question. Without gods, we're immoral by definition.
ReplyDeleteTHE PROBLEM IS THE CAPITALISTS AND RIGHT WINGERS HAVE TWISTED THE REAL HISTORICAL JESUS DOCTRINES AND THE BIBLE TEACHINGS WHICH ARE SOCIALISTIC IN NATURE INDEED !!
ReplyDeleteSOCIALISTS SHOULD DECONSTRUCT THE RIGHT-WING IDEOLOGY OF MOST RIGHT-WING CHRISTIAN CHURCHES
ONLY JESUS CHRIST, MARX, TROTKSY, LENIN, AND LIBERATION THEOLOGY CAN SAVE USA FROM SATAN AND THE DARK FORCES OF THIS WORLD!!
Only love, Jesus Christ, Marx, Trotsky, Lenin, Mao, Liberation-Theology, humanism, forgiveness, morality, peace, and a total spiritual change in each american citizen can save this country from collapse !!
the house of lucifer and the dark forces of this evil world are at the powerful monetary and military entities: The Pentagon, IMF, White House, World Bank, Bilderbergs, etc.

Sorry, M-S. Jesus is just a character in a book and superstition — however well-intentioned — causes more problems than it solves. We have to learn how to face reality without the crutches of gods, prophets, and priests.
ReplyDeleteThere are no supernatural causes for our problems, and no supernatural cures. Our problems are material and — because human beings are material beings and individual and social psychology are material phenomena — the solutions must be material as well.
ONLY JESUS CHRIST, MARX, TROTKSY, LENIN, AND LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND CAPS LOCK!!!!! CAN SAVE USA FROM SATAN AND THE DARK FORCES OF THIS WORLD!!

AV, you owe me a keyboard: my old one in inoperative due to large amounts of nasal-mucus contaminated coffee.
