If God Exists Everything Is Permitted

This video showcases some common arguments people use to defend the killing of children and babies in the bible.

People use God to justify all kinds of atrocity, and they mitigate guilt not necessarily though making amends with their victims, but through what is ultimately a selfish exercise of forgiving oneself by using the concept of God as a proxy, and asking God’s forgiveness (who conveniently always gives forgiveness). When defending the bible, theists who fancy themselves moral realists often fall back onto moral and cultural relativism, with accusations of presentism for their critics, to rather inappropriately defend the actions of a God who is supposed to be timeless and morally unchanging, and they do this by appealing to the culture of the people who told us of this particular deity. In truth they’re engaging in the same practice that made people think it was morally right to fly planes into buildings, and why we justify occupying foreign lands to this very day.

Can everyone just take a second to appreciate just how far DarkMatter has progressed in animation? It's amazing how far he's come, and his content is still just as original and hilarious as the older days. <3333

God in Exodus: Thou shall not kill

God a few chapters later: Kill all of them, let no one escape, including the women and children, take no prisoners.

The thing that shocked me most about this video is that 9/11 already happened almost 20 years ago

I think the scariest part is that I’ve actually encountered religious folk who use this exact argument- sometimes worse. This video isn’t even an exaggeration. If anything, it doesn’t do the irrationality of some of these people justice.

I've been making this same argument for years. I have yet to meet a Christian who lives their life as if they actually take the Bible seriously. Actions speak louder than words, and the vast majority of Christians live just as if they were atheists except for the odd visit to church on Sunday.

Christian: "But science has been wrong before!! HA!"
*Yes it has been disproven before...by guess what? More science*

“Maybe we behave like god doesn’t exist because deep down we don’t really believe he does.”

That reminds me of my religious mother, she says she believes that god will protect her if she mumbled some words and prayed constantly, but she acts like everything is out there to get her, she never felt comfortable with only believing in god’s will.

It's always a good time when Dark Matter posts.

being an atheist in a family of jehovah witnesses.... sometimes its fun to watch their minds churn butter when you show them how contradictory their beliefs are.... other times its just infuriating

"“To say that nothing is true is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile and that we must be the shepherds of our civilization. To say that everything is permitted is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious of tragic.” - Ezio Auditore da Firenze
