All atheist arguments are based on one argument: the assumption of what is true and what is not true, such as morality and the quantity of true religions.

These arguments have no basis and therefore should be dismissed.

 

 

First argument:

 

1. How do you know if your religion is true? Out of the many religions out there

 

First off, the atheist assumes that there can only be one true religion. Hinduism believes in many religions. Therefore it is fallacious of one to assume such a point

 

 

2. The God of Christianity is evil -

 

First, define what is evil. Atheists have no basis for morality. What is considered cruel is considered necessary in nature. And so if an Atheist were to say that God is evil, he or she would have to have a basis for why he is evil, besides his or her own opinion.

This^ Also, the idea that atheist don't have morals is ridiculous. Morals aren't exclusive to one religion. Look at the different religions of the world, they share many of the same morals. Morality is bigger than religion. It's a human thing.

He's not saying athiest don't have morals, that's ridiculous everyone has morals. He's saying that there is no foundation for those morals. Your making the argument into something it's not.

Either way he should shut up. Morals aren't founded on anything beyond our individual experiences and reasoning. Unless we are so weak minded that we need other people to tell us how to behave.

(2) And this fails to explain why animals, who don't believe in any religion or gods, have morality. Having a religious base for morality is clearly unnecessary; we all have a base in it from Evolution and the necessity of social animals to work together, to not kill themselves, and to help each other w/o necessary reciprocation.

That doesn't make sense. The very bible has proof that morality exists without religion.

Either way he should shut up. Morals aren't founded on anything beyond our individual experiences and reasoning. Unless we are so weak minded that we need other people to tell us how to behave.

"Don't murder other people" So if I told you that the only way you'd comply would be if you were weak minded? Oh please. :lol:

A strong-minded individual would recognize another's right to life and respect it, rather than expecting a "legal system" or religion to tell them otherwise. It's a shame there are so few strong-minded people in the world.

They had no good arguments for your points, that's why they just told you to "shut up", if they did, they would have all just trashed you(metaphorically of course). Sorry they were all so rude to you, don't be discouraged :). Anyways You Could alter the first question too.

How do you know if any religion ( or a combination of any) is true?

And you could alter the second one too The God of Christianity is Evil by it's own definition? He's not, but if a christian didn't know their bible the athiest could trash them

Ridicule does not atomically render an argument valid, or suggest that those participating in ridicule could not form an argument. It may be that the points raised initially are perceived to be so stupid as to not warrant a response otherwise (they are).

Fair enough, but I still think there aren't enough people in the world who actually don't know right from wrong.
