Assuming that atheism is true, what would be the top 10 benefits of being an atheist? Here are a few that I can think of:

1. No moral absolutes, I can make up my own good and evil.
2. No afterlife judgement, I can do whatever the hell I want, if I don't get caught it's cool no need to worry about hell.
3. Freedom from the shackles of religion, since there is no God I can be the god of my own universe.
4. Since there is no spiritual truth, I can make up my own and my truth and it is just as valid as yours.
5. Since I can define my atheism as a lack of belief and not an active belief I don't have to defend it against scrutiny.
6?

That's all I got, please add to the list.

If you go back to 2015 you will find that a poster called Grampy Bobby started umpteen threads like this. If you are genuinely curious about what responses it garnered and what conversations sprouted, there is plenty of reading material there.

Is the killing of children absolutely morally wrong?

If you are an atheist, and you believe there are no moral absolutes, then clearly the answer is no.

No, you have claimed that having no moral absolutes is a benefit of being an atheist. So for YOU personally as a professed Christian, is the killing of children absolutely morally wrong?

As you well know and are clearly uncomfortable with, I'm pointing out that your number 1 claimed benefit of being an atheist is something you have also in common with them

So, in your view, is being able to believe that the killing of children is [b]not absolutely always morally wrong one of "the benefits of Christianity" then?[/b]

Instead of hijacking this thread, why don't you start another thread on the benefits of Christianity?

I am well aware of the benefits of Christianity and I have spoken about them numerous times on this forum.

Would you care to speak about the benefits of atheism, since that is what this thread is about?

If you really think that people here are going to fall for the notion that your ulterior motive for you starting this thread is about, in fact, you not extolling the benefits of Christianity, then you are being naive.
