Evil

Evil is anything in opposition to the will of God. It's God's creation, God makes the rules.

So genocide, rape and slavery are okay.

Atheism is nothing more than being unconvinced that gods exist. It is silent on everything else, including opinions on morality.

Some atheists would say they are convinced that God doesn't exist.

I don't disagree. In reality we don't get much hindsight though. Evil opposes our growth.

Short people are evil?

Is evil real and something to be avoided, or merely a construct of the human mind?

There is no evil , only ignorance.

Ignorance of our true natures'

Then why isn't the Humanist Manifesto I & II & III simply one short sentence long ?

Some would say this.
Others have found that it may lead them into arguments which reveal the weakness of Atheist logic.

As a alternative some work on the definition to make is seem that atheism is the most normal and most natural default position.

So you get concepts like a newborn baby is of course, an Atheist.
The intention of some Atheists is to make the definition unassailable and as default as possible.

I would like you to one day try to demonstrate to me that Reincarnation really is the same SOUL with responsibility for that's soul's karma, though reincarnated many times.

And that is an honest inquiry as to why it should be considered that way, because I don't see it that way.

a nerve got hurt here

The god thing is made up. Grow up and deal with it.

I'm not interested in Karma .. or gods for that matter.

As for reincarnation who knows? Whatever past lives we may have had have obviously been wiped from our memories so what does it matter ?

Slavery in itself is not sinful. Genocide in itself is not sinful.

I've never seen rape described as acceptable behavior.
