God is real

A Nail in the Coffin to the Cosmological ArgumentI know you dropped this argument but I felt I should add in the recent scientific discoveries using cosmic background radiation helping to confirm the "Big Bang" theory [1].Argument from Morality"There exists a nearly universal moral intuition that certain things are objectively right or wrong."This isn't really true, morals change over time for instance in more social animals (especially herd animals) that evolved along side us rape is almost a social norm [2] [3] [4] (this is thought to be because razing children in a more shared way negates certain parental functions). But this is animals surely this couldn't apply to humans? As a matter of fact it can, the biblical book of Deuteronomy was written between the 6th and 8th centuries B.C [5] and seems to reflect the morals of the time and place. In Deuteronomy 22:28-29 the laws of rape are recorded as "If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her."Evolution can also be applied to this, the children that came from the rape would have a higher chance of survival if they had two parents instead of one (this applies much more to bronze age Palestine than to today I used a similar argument before and someone got the wrong end of the stick) and so this system of dealing with rape sprung up because a society which had this law would propagate better than one that didn't. Of course we have now moved past evolution and have constructed more elaborate systems of morals based on universal liberty's and attempting to construct a system from the outside in, pretending that you don't know who you will end up as (this is a mental exercise trying to create a fair society).Self Sacrifice"WHY SHOULD HUMANS RISK THEIR LIFE FOR OTHER HUMANS?"In evolution it is a common misconception that it is about survival of the individual, it is about the survival of the genes. For instance you can see why it would be advantageous for a parent to give up there life that their child might live and so continue their genes for another generation. In our primordial past we would usually live in small groups of close relatives and friends all of whom would have had very similar genes because genes are easier to influence in smaller groups, there would also be an advantage for a person giving up their lives for the lives of others in that environment and that is ingrained in our DNA which is why in this new social setting people are still willing to give up their lives for others.Ontological Argument"1.It is greater for a thing to exist in the mind and in reality than in the mind alone."This is simply an assertion, I don't see that is's true and it assumes that there is something outside of reality that it could exist in."2."God" means "that than which a greater cannot be thought.""No this is an attempt to define something into existence, the definition of god (according to the oxford English dictionary) is "the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being.". "3.Suppose that God exists in the mind but not in reality."Do you have any evidence that a mind can exist in anything but the physical?"4.Then a greater than God could be thought (namely, a being that has all the qualities our thought of God has plus real existence).5.But this is impossible, for God is "that than which a greater cannot be thought.""I don't quite get what you're talking about here.A Note on the Christian GodYou invited my to speak on the Christian god, before I start this section I should say that I was raised as a fundamentalist catholic and have only been an atheist for around a year.The foundations of Christianity are found in the religion of barbaric bronze age tribe of the Israelites. They seem to come directly from the Canaanites (who they later destroy). The Canaanites even worshiped Yahweh as something like a war god though he seems to be a minor deity. The Christian god Yahweh was really nothing unique in the ancient world. Yahweh seems to have been either the leader of a pantheon of gods (like Zeus) or the god of the Jews among a pantheon (like Athena for the Athenians). Yahweh even had a wife named Asherah [6]. The entire thing reeks of paganism and these foundations show that Christianity is nothing out of the ordinary. Later Christianity seems a bit stranger, there were many "savior faiths" in Palestine around that time. The most interesting is the Gnostic's who seem to have sprung up shortly after Yahshua is supposed to have died. Many Gnostic religions have very close ties to Christianity and many worship Yashua (though are thought to be heresy by the majority of Christians). The Gnostic faith appeared in full within the lifetime of Yashua's followers and yet they appear to have such diverse views of Yashua (as do the christian gospels but that is beside the point). Overall it seems more likely that the Gnostic's were the foundation from which Christianity emerged as they seem to have been worshiping Yashua long before the gospels were written.The character of Yahweh is vile, in the old testament Yahweh routinely used his earthly minions the Jews to commit mass genocide [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] despite claims to the contrary [14] a god of love should not commit genocide.The bible is very much of its time, in early iron age Palestine iron was considered a very special material and chariots were something the Jews would have though were incredibly powerful so when the bible mentions that Yahweh can be defeated by iron chariots [15] it should cast a doubt as to the bible having heavenly origins as opposed to be earthly ones.The bible is very much a product of its time, it was written by people who were ignorant of science and thus it contains none, it was written by imperialists and thus it justifies imperialistic genocide [7-13], it was written by racists and thus it denies rights to foreigners [16]. These show the bible to be nothing more than a book of stories from a group of barbaric people from the late bronze age and early iron age and not inspired by a god thus taking down Yahweh.[1] http://bicepkeck.org...[2] http://psycnet.apa.org...
