okay
enlighten me so i can have a good understanding of the scientific theory please
Just because something happened by chance does not make it any less natural. If you reduce your analysis of such theories to such a misunderstanding of chance, then everything that ever happened ever happened by chance.
suprising that there aren't more athiest nihilists is all
Like I say, atheism is a far more empowering belief that places both responsibility in our hands and gives humanity credit for what it deserves and has done, instead of belittling our ideas of morality and responsibility that we developed by crediting them to a sky-man that doesn't exist.
On the original post; I highly, highly, highly recommend that everyone in this thread read
my article here. To quote part of it:
As any rational person can see, to blame the Holocaust on Atheism is absolutely absurd and an affront to anyone with a brain that is not totally ignorant of what took place. Without the discourse of anti-Semitism that the Catholic Church ensured stayed at the heart of European society for hundreds of years prior to the Holocaust, the foundations never would have been there for Hitler to extrapolate upon. Hitler himself was a practicing Roman Catholic and not only did the Catholic Church have no qualms or will to criticize his anti-Semitic propaganda. Mein Kampf was written and published in 1925 yet the Catholic Church signed a political agreement giving him their backing in 1933, after he spent 8 years extrapolating on his plans and ideology present in Mein Kampf.
It was only until he started systematically killing Jews, which apparently surprised the Catholic Church after all of their dealings with him, that organised criticism seems to emerge, and even at that point the Catholic Church was far more interested in protecting its own image and public perception than any organised resistance on their part, and they even proceeded to enter into diplomatic negotiations with Hitler’s Germany, fully aware of the situation of the ongoing Holocaust.
To palm this off onto atheism or secularism when it was committed upon foundations set by the Catholic Church by a Roman Catholic whose legitimacy was confirmed by the Catholic Church, the moral guide of Europe, even after he had spread such propaganda and genocidal filth for years prior is absolutely disgusting.
