Are Fundamentalists Inherently Immoral

I, personally, link my moral compass to how I would like to be treated. My morality is based of MY standards, which are derived from my upbringing, and what I have learned is good for mankind.I don't need a book to tell me how to treat people. Especially one that spews such filth, then turns around and says "love thy neighbor", then "fuck you, your neighbor is a piece of shit, KILL him and his wife and rape his daughters, then make her your slave for raping her"

Morality would then be defined by the need for a species to succeed. We, as homo-sapiens, are altruistic because we realize inately that we need to watch out for one another. We are a social creature. We realize we need a group, a family, per se, in order to survive, because on our own, we will be outhunted and/or killed.I can then say to you: why do we see altruism in chimps?Edited by hooah212002, : No reason given.

but but but.....that's the Old Testament. Jesus changed all that, remember?

That's just it, isn't it? Most christians, some of whom believe even a soft literal interpretation, will tell me that whatever happened to said people, that we (as atheists/moralists/rational thinkers) would see as immoral, they either a) deserved it or b) god said it was ok, and since god says it's ok, THEY think it's ok because god IS morality to them.Oh what a tangled web we weave.

This poses a question, what makes the christian god more just or right than any other deity?

Mine was more of a rhetorical question. I am beginning to think you are of the mindset that you get to decide what is right or wrong. Mankind is a social creature. We have learned to adapt with groups of people, developed altruism so that we can hone in on making that group function better as a unit. People like Hitler, IMO, are an anomoly. They rise to power and assert their beliefs on the group they have come in power to rule over.Have there been lots of people like that throughout history? Sure. Does anyone ever say they are morally just in their actions? Not without having the fear of some sort of repurcussion. We have learned from past mistakes. Our society is what it is because it works for us, as a society. I sense you feel as though you need someone to tell you what is moral?

Just to play devil's advocate here: you do realize they would lock your ass away for being a psycho witch for thinking you can tell the future and for this devil's tool: a "dvd", right?

Maybe you should ask your god, because he does it often.

1 Samuel 15:3 (King James Version)

3Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

Explain to me how infants and "sucklings" (presumably newborns) could possibly act maliciously towards anyone??????? You are mental man if you defend this shit.

Verse please. Yep, your god, and all of the people involved in this bible fo yours are fucking sick, twisted individuals if they feel the need to kill babies. Christianity? No thanks! I'll pass. Cuz you havent asked that until now. I'll give a hearty hell no to that question tho. Edited by hooah212002, : No reason given.
