There is no such thing as Christian morality in any meaningful sense. Rather there’s a list of ancient rules, many of which make no sense at all in the modern world.
What Christian morality?
Your moral compass points right back to the bronze age!

Real abuse from the God of Abraham
God is not a good role model
There is no more abusive character than the Abrahamic God than in the whole of fiction.
Come out of the closet!
Do you want LGBTQ+ kept out of schools? Then this is the 2 minute video you need to see.
Do you think LGBTQ+ people should be kept away from children?
Would you sack gay teachers because they’re a bad influence teaching kids to be gay?
Would you prefer to stop trans citizens from accessing schools or keep lesbians out of youth groups?
Then here’s a two minute video just for you!
3 types of clergy
How would you describe your priest, pastor or worship leader? Are they actually fit to lead?
Speaking as an atheist I believe that it is possible to divide clergy into three groups. There are the gullible, the deceitful and those who are both gullible and deceitful.
Christian threats of Hell
Christians regularly impugn the characters of atheists without ever considering the implications of their own tactics
Whenever a Christian threatens you with Hell, no matter how smugly they do so it pays to consider just what they’re telling you about themselves. I don’t just mean the shameful delight they take in the prospect of another person’s suffering, that’s clear to anyone. I mean the implication of their choice of threat.
What does it tell you, tell the world about them when they suppose that threats of Hell will be enough to make you bow down before their imaginary God?

When Christians lie
How should we react when Christians lie about us whilst simultaneously claiming the moral high ground?
I don’t imagine many people will be surprised to learn that Christians are just as capable of dishonesty as every other group of people. We’re all human and humans are fallible, after all. But how should we react when they lie about us whilst simultaneously claiming the moral high ground and insisting that non-Christians can’t understand morality?
What should the result be when the smug Christian conveniently forgets the commandment not to bear false witness against his neighbour?
In this case the liar in question, an American right wing Christian (a group disproportionately heavy with liars, in my experience) lied about me online and named me, even using deliberately selective screenshots to enhance his deception. The stupid thing is that it was so completely unnecessary. Just a cheap shot of the sort you’d expect to find in a school playground. Certainly not worthy of adult discourse.
I’m retaliating appropriately. I’ve decided to tell the true story on line, complete with screenshots that show the larger conversation and that explain the real story of what happened between me and Luke Villarreal.
Yes, it’s petty.
No, it’s not my finest moment but it is honest, unlike Luke and it’s only a few minutes long.
Go on – learn the truth about yet another Christian #lyingforJesus. You know you want to!
Discussion with Luke, an American Christian
Luke and I don’t see eye to eye on very much but we do show that it’s possible to discuss and argue, passionately at times and still remain cordial and genial at the end.
This is a discussion/debate with Luke Villareal, an American Christian. We had a few technical problems resulting in fairly poor video quality on my end and no image at all from Luke. However that beats our first attempt during which we couldn’t get anything to record at all.
The rule was that we both get to record it and we both can publish it online as we see fit but without any edits. There is one small edit in the original where I cut out about a minute of ‘dead air’ whilst I attended to my dog. Other than that the video is completely unedited.
Luke and I don’t see eye to eye on very much but we do show that it’s possible to discuss and argue, passionately at times and still remain cordial and genial at the end. Let us know in the comments what you thought of the points raised and especially let us know if either Luke or I managed to change your mind about anything.
The theology of warfare
How do Christians justify their commitment to kill people because some politician tells them to?
I regularly come across either serving or veteran military personnel in these atheist v theist groups who also identify as Christian. As a rule such people express pride in their military credentials and some even seem to assume that they deserve special consideration or respect as a result. This has always confused me.
How can a Christian join an organisation in which they will be expected to kill (or support the killing of) other people simply because a politician decides it’s a good idea? As we all know, military interventions are not always motivated by noble intentions.
I don’t suggest that military service isn’t courageous, even heroic and I fully understand that it genuinely can be necessary (although it often is not). It’s the decision to ‘join up’ that I find confusing.
How is a commitment to take the lives of unknown others at some future date for as yet unknown reasons, ordered by currently unknown politicians with equally unknown motivations in any way consistent with Christian values?
How do Christians justify their commitment to kill people because some politician (whose motives may be very reprehensible) tells them to?
A transparent trans-parent
I’m so tired of uninformed, unfeeling and above all uncaring Christians having a go at Trans people.
I’m so tired of uninformed, unfeeling and above all uncaring Christians having a go at Trans people. It’s what Christianity always does – they can’t demonstrate the reality of the deity they claim to believe in; they can’t make any reasonable arguments for its existence and they can’t persuade anyone of its truth without resorting to lies, distortions and ad hominem attacks.
It used to be ‘fornicators’ they attacked until people started being more open about their sex lives. It used to be gay men and latterly women until reasonable people realised that other peoples’ sex lives are none of their business. It used to be those who need an abortion until, apart from in the states, people began to accept that wider social and economic issues take precedence and now it’s trans people.
The church always needs someone to hate – a visible but not too strong minority to be the bogeyman. Unfortunately for Christians though the world moves on – secular morality develops and outgrows the nonsense of Christianity as the church hops desperately from target to target trying to keep up.
