Resolved: That Atheism is more desirable to general society than Christianity.

Alright let's get this going. I'm going to give the questions and first rebuttal so that way we can get all the rounds in, since Con has forfeited a round. 1. Why is it that I am not allowed to cite Old Testament law, even though Jesus says it still applies, yet you can use the Ten Commandments as a source of morality? It seems like selective reading really, you ignore the immorality but accept the morality. 2. Can you prove the moral code of Christianity? 3. Why is it that the basic philosophy is better than the way it makes people act? For example, I showed various historical record to show many groups of Christianity do vile acts against humanity, isn't it a narrow minded view to not look at how the philosophy affects others? I think I'm done there. Refutation time: So the biggest argument against me, is that I provided Jewish law and it does not apply to Christianity. Not only is this false and selective reading, it provides a lack of knowledge. "It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid." Luke 16:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets..." Matthew 5:17 There's a whole list: 2 Timothy 3:16, Matthew 5:18-19, Mark 7:10, Matthew 5:4-7, Matthew 5:27, 1 Peter 2:18. The best one is: "...the scripture cannot be broken." John 10:35 So not only do all of my verses I provided apply to Christianity, there's also immoral statements in the New Testament, since Con seems to think there isn't. "So I will cast her on a bed of suffering and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds and I will repay each of you according to your deeds." Revelation 2:22-23 "Do not suppose that I [Jesus] have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." Matthew 10:34 This isn't important though. The VERY core principles of Christianity are immoral. The fact that they teach that there's an unalterable, unchallengeable man, who's all knowing, who can convict you of thought crime, who subjects you to constant surveillance around the clock, every waking and sleeping minute, while you're alive and after you die. It's just like North Korea, but at least in North Korea you can die. NOW, if you disobey this tyrant, he will throw his children in a pit of fire to not burn for a few minutes, or a week, or a year but for ETERNITY. Meaning, you will be forever tortured and burned and you will never stop. Now put yourself in this situation. You're in a wonderful, sunny park. You're sitting on a bench by yourself and you see kids playing. You see a man and he calls for his kid but his kid ignores him because he's having a good time. So the man calls 3 more times and the kid still ignores him. So the father finally goes to get his kid and when he does, he pours gasoline on his kid and lights him on fire. Would you worship this man? Would you worship a man who would light his own child on fire? Would you think this man is a moral man? This man is better than God. Because at least his kid only burned for a certain time, God sends his children to burn forever. But he's all loving, right? The core idea of the Christian god is immoral. Now you say Atheists are immoral? The fact that you called Homosexuals and sexually promiscuous people are sinners: "They love the sinner, hate the sin (homosexuality, sexually promiscuous)" show that Christianity should never control society. Sex is actually healthy for you and it's biologically programmed into us to want and like it. It helps relieve a lot of health problems, especially stress. Homosexuality is something you're born in and the fact that you call these people sinners and that they subscribe to a sin out of choice, shows that you're a bigot and Christianity is bigotry. At the societal level, murder rates are far lower in secularized nations, such as Japan or Sweden, than they are in more religious places like the United States, which has a huge portion of the population in prison. The states in the United States that have the highest church attendance, such as Louisiana and Mississippi, have significantly higher murder rates than the less religious states, like Vermont and Oregon. Why is Atheism more desirable? Because Atheists tend to score higher on measures of intelligence, especially verbal ability and scientific literacy [1]. Atheists tend to raise their children to solve problems rationally, make up their own mind on religion and philosophy instead of indoctrinating them, Atheists tend to practice more safe-sex (which reduces STI's and unwanted and poorly raised Children)[2]. The people are happiest when the society is Atheistic, look at Denmark! Denmark is one of the least religious country in the world and consistently rates as the happiest of nations. Now you tell me, which is more moral? The philosophy that teaches it's members to kill, that indoctrinates and tells it's people that there's a benevolent, unchangeable, perfect dictator what watches you 24/7 but if you disobey him he can kill you on the spot and send you into a pit of fire to burn forever. Or the philosophy that tells its people to base your morality on how well does it helps others and to question everything and search for answers.
