Absolutely false. Good and Evil does exist, but they can differ from ones own perspective.
Pleasure doesn't override morals.
Homosexuality has already been scientifically established that there is a biological, environmental and social aspect to it. |
You totally missed the point.
You said it yourself, "good and evil does exist, but they can differ from ones own perspective.", so what if I see good in killing? why does that bother you if you're not the one being killed? it's my own perspective of good, you might say humanity and compassion and whatnot, I say that they're relative too, why would you want to impose your standards on me?
Most of the "prophets" of atheism like Richard Dawkins, Lauren Krauss, Carl Sagan and Sam Harris, all see that morals and ethics are relative, so defending them rationally, without falling into logical fallacies and rhetoric is a waste of time, you just have to read. also, being a human construct doesn't mean it's the right thing, relativity of morals destroys the concept of right and wrong.
You save peoples lives, and? what do you gain from that? only feeling good about yourself because you believe in the illusion (from an atheistic view) called absolute morals, and either if you save lives or kill people your destiny is the same: void, sooner or later. there's no point in risking your own and only life to save others lives, this is absurd.
The arguments against religion that you presented are overused by superficial atheists, besides relying on the absoluteness of morals (which can only be true when there's a superior authority that defines what's right and what's wrong and rewards the right doers and punished the wrong doers), there's more to say: the genetic argument was debunked long ago, you just have to search, homosexuality is nothing but a normal consequence of the sexualisation and pussification of the western society (no offense), including teaching children that those kind of sex topics are banal.
As for the terrorism argument: are the evil acts of a certain group that claims to follow an ideology an argument against the ideology itself? obviously no, read about Islamic rules of war and true jihads, you'll find that killing women, children, old people, priests, craftsmen, captives, unarmed people etc... is prohibited, only adult armed men who are engaged in the conflict can be fought. of course you don't know that because your source of info is working on tarnishing the image of Islam, what did you expect from them? and still this is just a tiny portion of the truth.
You're dealing with Islam here, not Christianity, the big bang theory is clearly stated in the Quran, as for evolution, there are muslims who believe in it, those who believe in guided evolution and those who reject it, if you want me to open that topic too I'll gladly do.
I had doubt about my religion for a long time, if I didn't properly learn about atheism I wouldn't have given Islam a second chance. I invite you to read more about atheism, and Islam from muslim sources, rather than being content with what you've been told and persuaded with by media and school.
