Your OP is a complete retread of stuff on Thread 171350 Thread 170817 Thread 171626 Thread 171595 and numerous threads in 2016 during which you showed absolutely zero inclination to engage in anything other than a tedious parody version of debate and discussion. I have no reason to doubt that you are going to behave in exactly the same way on this thread.

Assuming that atheism is true, what would be the top 10 benefits of being an atheist?
It seems pretty clear that you are not "assuming that atheism is true" at all, but instead you are trying to be sarcastic in your characterization of things you disapprove of on account of the fact that you assume Christianity is true and better than atheism.
Originally posted by FetchmyjunkWas it morally wrong for the Hebrews to commit genocide and then write an account of it in which they claimed their god figure had told them to do it?
I think it is not morally wrong for God to take a life that he has given. You are welcome to think what you want.
Originally posted by FMFAnd I take it Geester only picks the parts of the Bible that he likes, and prentends the global flood didn't exist.
Fetchmyjunk has also defended genocide ~ as long as it is done for a reason he deems morally acceptable ~ whereas I have never met any atheist who had any equivocation at all about condemning genocide.
Originally posted by FMFIf their God figure doesn't exist and didn't tell them, it would only be subjectively wrong from your perspective of no moral absolutes. If He does in fact exist, he would have been using them to exercise his judgement, and then his judgement is absolute and no one can argue with his judgement.
