The source of Christian morality: It’s not what you might think

Church won’t excuse your bigotry,
You’re only there ’cause you agree!

Church won’t excuse your bigotry. You’re only there ’cause you agree!

John & Mary go looking for a new church

Judge not, lest ye be judged

Some Christians in their arrogance,
Imagine hate is all I see,
They’re certain that without their God,
there can be no morality!

Judge not, lest ye, yourself be judged! A brief poetic offering for both #atheists and #theists, especially #Christians about judgement.

Who are you to judge me?

There’s no hate like Christian love

Does your Jesus really want you to display all that hate?

I have to ask. Behind your mask what’s this about? The way you shout? The way you claim to know what’s right and pretend that you’re fighting some ‘good fight’?

If you have to lie to make your point, your point isn’t worth making!

Fearful, you cower before your LOrd, a willing slave to Jesus’ word but did he really want all that hate? When you reach the pearly gate will ‘love the sinner, hate the sin’ really be your ticket in? Or will the hatred you display to athiest, to trans and gay condemn you to a devil’s Hell? 

Not real of course. That’s just as well or you’d be in that lake of fire, watching as the flames grow higher because you are a blatant liar. You bear false witness against your neighbour telling lies of every flavour. Evolution, sex, the Bible. Your deception has no rival.

Be grateful that your God’s not true ‘cause if he was, he’d slaughter you!

Do you also unto me

You say that your morality comes from that book you read.

“Whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren, do you also unto me”

(Matthew 25:41-46)

You say that your morality comes from that book you read, its pages stuffed with guidance for the living and the dead. But if that’s true then why do you ignore so very much? What other moral guide informs your choices as you clutch your pearls and criticise, condemn your fellow men and hang on to your riches instead of helping them?

Did not Jesus say to sell it all, give proceeds to the needy? Conveniently you forget that part, it’s all so very seedy.

You focus on the Bible bits that let you judge your neighbours, judging trans men for their lack of tits and trans women get no favours. They can’t even use a public loo without explaining it to you.

You oppose sex education but insist girls go full term after a night of uneducated enthusiasm when her ova met his sperm. Some of you even shun the girl to raise her child alone. Is that really what your Jesus wants whose guidance you have overthrown.

You long for resurrection when you say I’ll go to Hell

But if your Bible tells the truth then you’ll be there as well.

Whence cometh morality?

An old school friend of mine, now an Anglican vicar, seems to think that atheists’ morality has no real backing.

An old school friend of mine, now a vicar in the Anglican church has a particular view about the source of morality. He also seems to think that atheists can have no real backing for their morality because it’s not ‘transcendent’ at base. It doesn’t come from the mind of God, in other words. This video is my response to that position.

In answering his question I’ve borrowed shamelessly from Matt Dillahunty, Sam Harris and one or two others but hey ho – it’s still good info wherever it comes from and nobody thinks up everything all on their own. The video’s a bit rough because I made it in a hurry but I think the point holds well enough. Facebook might be interesting tonight!
