Religions in general makes more sense and are more moral than Atheism

"Let's take christianity for example, or judaism (same principle god). Today we regard slavery as immoral. It is considered immoral to own another human and beat them for punishment. But these two common religions' holy book approves of slavery and provides us with rules for ownership of humans. How do we reject this idea of slavery? Our innate moral sense which is devoid of religion or teachings from a holy book. If we used our religion in this case, we would determine that slavery is moral." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First off, I am going to state that yes, you did source your claim in religion's supporting slavery. But it didn't really state where in each book. Like examples of text that say it. " Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free." - Ephesians 6:5-8 " And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him." -Ephesians 6:9 Sounds like they are slaves to each other, at least to me. Yes, Christians did support slavery like in the Triangle trade, but was that the Religion or the people following the Religion? It was the people, also known as the society that supported slavery. Example: In the American Civil War, both sides justified their actions by the Bible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Atheism has no set of morals or any moral book to turn to. Atheism is not believing in a god. You could be moral or immoral and disbelieve in god. But I want to keep this argument going so I will say given the three main religions of the world, I have no reason to think that most religions would be moral at all for some of the things they condone. Demonstrate the morality of your religions, and show how this is superior to Atheism." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Um, what about Survival of the Fittest? For Atheistic morals!? ___________________________________________ The short version of the 10 commandments 1. You shall have no other gods before Me. 1.A. Works for Atheism, since they don't have gods, though it contradicts other religions (Unless every religion are Tall Tales of one story, the true story; add answer to this later) 2. You shall not make idols. 2.A. Even though the true Commandment states that you shouldn't believe in stuff like the elements, I use my answer from one. 3. You shall not take the name of the LORD, your God in vain. 3.A. Even though it states "your," I would have to say that, you could interpret it that you should respect Him even though if you don't believe in him. 4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 4.A. Even if you don't believe in the Sabbath day, you can still respect it 5. Honor your father and your mother. 5.A. A moral value used in most societies, ancient and new. 6. You shall not murder. 6.A. A moral value used in most societies, ancient and new. 7. You shall not commit adultery. 7.A. A little bit more flexible now days, at least now in our culture but: A moral value used in most societies, ancient and new. 8. You shall not steal. 8.A. A moral value used in most societies, ancient and new. 9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 9.A. A moral value used in most societies, ancient and new. 10. You shall not covet. 10.A. The actual one states you shall not covet your neighbors' belongings so: A moral value used in most societies, ancient but more now days. Example: Kuwait helped by the U.N. from invaders. I still have more examples.
