You have individuals, who are anti-theists, who don't believe God exists, who also claim that this non-existent being is the source of the most evil. Question: How does a being that does not exist, end up being a source of evil, particularly the most evil? Anyone care to map what part of the brain that produces God concept also produces evil? Anyone holding both these views that God doesn't exists, AND is a source of evil, care explain this? |
It's actually quite simple to explain, while God doesn't exist, humans with vivid imaginations do.
So we have Books, one called Bible written by men, compiled and canonized by Early Catholic Church (ergo more men) in 5th century, the other one being Quran written again by a guy in 7th century and canonized by another guy later in same century.
Those books worship genocidal maniac with serious anger issues, and have set a "groundwork" for what we'll call "absolute morality" (of course from religious point of view).
So from perspective of those books it's morally right to:
Stone your wife, if she wasn't a virgin when you married her. Beat your wife if she isn't obedient. Rape your wife. Women don't have right to "teach" or to study. Have slaves. Stone apostates... and many, many, many more absurds things.
So while God according to scriptures has some serious issues, the true source of evil is the human invention that worships that being called religion.
