This is disturbing because the message of the two ads is 1:Atheists don't care about anyone and and will kill you in a heartbeat. and 2: Nobody likes atheists. Because if you don't matter to god, you don't matter to anyone.
I mean that is disgusting. That is just an attempt to inculcate prejudice by means of (barely) subtle hate speech. |
That's true actually. The amount of times someone has told me I don't have morals because I am atheist is immense. Of course I have morals, I would never kill anyone, I wouldn't hurt a fly, I would never steal, I work as hard as I can at things i feel are a good use of my time... and that does not include genocide.
If you look up atheist on conservapedia you can see the prejudice saying all atheists are lying murderers straight away.

Do u misunderstand on purpose or something? It's not that atheists dont have literally any morals, the point is that an atheist never can have absolute morals. (or 'universal morals', or call it whatever u want, the essence is the same)

Sure we don't have an uniform set of morals, but that is because we are not an official group, atheists don't have commandments or rules. But that shouldn't matter, I imagine all people should have their morals based on individual merits. I'm sure all theists have varying morals from one to the next, desoite the the underlying morals of their teachings.
But the fact remains, I have been told on several occasions that atheists have no morals. I was even once told that most genocides of the 20th century were the direct fault of atheism.
