Where does morality come from?

Jonny sometimes asks me where morality comes from. i think sam harris has done such a great job explaining it here that i have nothing else to add.

Being a dick

Now Phil Plhait has done a controverisal talk called dont be a dick Loads of other atheist blogs are commenting on it so i thought id add my own thoughts. You see, we should be dicks towards christians and proud of it. Richard dawkins sums it up nicely here:

I am more interested in the fence-sitters who haven’t really considered the question very long or very carefully. And I think that they are likely to be swayed by a display of naked contempt. Nobody likes to be laughed at. Nobody wants to be the butt of contempt.

So basically, by being rude to Christians and calling them names we bully them into becoming free thinkers. Clearly this works. Who sells more books? Phil Plait or Richard Dawkins. Who has the most popular blog? PZMyers or Phil Phait. We should be dicks and give christians the contempt they diserve.

the argument from google streeview

1.Google employs some very intelligent designers
2.Googles very intelligent designers put a lot of thought into google streetview
3.Google streetview blurs peoples faces out because it is recognised how important privacy is
4.therefore an intelligent designer would blur everybodys faces when they step out in public to protct there privacy.
5.therefore the real world is not desinged like the google streetview design committee designed there model of it.
6.therefore god disagrees with some of the best designers in the world
7.therefore christians either need to ask google to remove the face bluring technology from streetview or aknowledge that their sky daddy is an incompetant designer.

Christopher hitchens

sadly christopher hitchen has cancer. Hitchens is a beakon of reason and know for wiping the floor with christians in debates. Hopefully he will recover from it seeing as atheism needs somebody with his logic around

It kinda raises the question of why you sky daddy gave christopher hitchens cancer. Is that your sky daddys response? Somebody is beating all his people in debates so they retaaliate by giving them cancer.

MWV is a fraud

Ive just noticed this in mwvs blog. this is typical christian dishonesty. Going around lieing and pretending to be something theyre not. it shows how week the evidence for christianity is when they go around lieing like that. the sheer dishinesty. I guess jebus taught you to lie. yeah?

Some tips for MWN

Now mwn wants me to list my top ten argument against christianit so here we go (in no particular order)

1.who made your sky daddy?
2.theres no evidence your sky daddy exists.
3.Christianity contradicts naturalism
4.My argument from Google maps (its been an internet sensation so it must be good)
5.Your sky daddy doesn’t always let me have my own way, therefore they don’t exist
6.the similarities between astrology, Mithras and jesus
7.what about other religions
8.the bible contains contradictions and the say daddy does nasty things in it
9.Christopher hitchens has some amusing anocdotes and stories about the church and pope, therefore your sky daddy doesn’t exist
10.as bill maher so nicely puts it – Christianity is ridiculous.

Now as for books, you cant go wrong with the new atheists – the jesus papers by micahel baigent is also a good read. Id also recommend watching zeitgeist the movie and the god who wasn’t there (did you know that paul never mentions jesus in his letters and that son god sounds like sun god?)

dont forget to read through my blog archive - youll be amazed at all the arguments found in previous blog posts

plagarism

it apears luke over at common sense atheism has been plagarising my arguments. Youll notice that on the 14th of november 2008 I wrote this post. Then on the 20th of march 2009 I wrote this. Then one of the most popular atheist blogs on the internet called common sense atheism, after id done my posts, produced this Note how similar the post at common sense atheism is to mine.

So if i come up with arguments first why doesnt my blog get as many visitors as common sense atheism does?

Finally some really good news - a poster called MWM has converted to atheism after reading my blog!!!! Welcome to the rational world of enlightenment. if theres anything i can do to help you with your conversion let me know.
