I don't care for religion because of all the violence that takes place. My opinion isn't rooted in nothing, it's rooted in history and personal morals.
What's wrong about violence? What makes a "personal moral" of an authority let alone of any true reflection of reality?


How do you know what you read in history is accurate? Have you not said previously that there are no absolute truths? If you still hold this, there could be no absolute truths to the "history of violence" of which you claim exists.

Love to me is when you care for someone...a lot. In love is different-that's when you wanna F all the time, yo.

I was actually joking when i said there were no absolutes. Making a statement like that IS an absolute. It's called a joke! ^.^

Anyways: It's a personal moral because there are others who believe that violence is acceptable, especially religious extremists and cults. Such as the Thuggee. Reality doesn't allow for morals.

and history is accurate because of multiple first hand accounts that were not coordinated with one another. History is accurate because of video proof.

Can we say the Vietnam war didn't happen because we didn't see it?
Can we say God doesn't exist because we don't see him?
Can we say that the internet doesn't exist because it isn't tangible? It's right here, you're using it right now to read this.

So what love is, is determined by what we think love is?

So there is nothing morally wrong about molesting children? You really think that?

Can you demonstrate exhaustively that that is so? Ultimately you rely on your 5 senses, do you not? How do you know your 5 sense are accurate without appealing to the accuracy of your 5 sense? You can't without being circular.

See the above.

Can we say the Vietnam war didn't happen because we didn't see it?
How do we know what we saw was accurate?
Quote:
Can we say God doesn't exist because we don't see him?
How can we know seeing/not seeing is a result of accurate senses?

Does that necessitate it's existence? Within my range of perception, sure. Is what I perceive to be, really true?

See thread: Pyrrhonian Skepticism

The answer is that it is illogical to conclude that Vietnam War definitely happened, that God exists and that the internet doesn't exist... along with any other belief at all, actually.

No reasoning works without the assumption of basic axioms which are (necessarily) entirely arbitrary, and so have no basis in objective and justified truth.

Including the belief itself, that these things would be illogical.

Atheists are most definitely capable of love. It's a pretty dumb thing to ask if they are or not.

@Uroborus That's a pretty dumb statement seeing as nobody was implying that.
