Why are you are an atheist

From the standpoint of assessing gods morality, it's irrelevant.

The god you claim to believe in is supposed to be the author/inspiration of the OT and
the NT.
Whether you think that the OT laws apply to Christians or not is irrelevant to an assessment
of whether they are moral, and by extension whether your god is moral or not.

It's also irrelevant for determining your own morality.
If you think that the laws of [and behaviours and practices described within] the OT are good and
moral then we can use that to determine your own morality. And that is true whether you believe
that those laws apply to you or not.

All this waffle about "not understanding how Mosaic law relates to Christianity" [while not, I would
note, bothering to even attempt to explain "how Mosaic law relates to Christianity"] is an irrelevant
deflection as it makes no difference to the topic at hand.

Then let it go; it has no bearing on why I'm an atheist.

Don't other atheists share that belief?


*ducking and running*

I don't share that belief. I wonder if there might be a creator.

difficult to say because it depends on the parameters. I would also like to point out that contrary to your assertion dogs ruling the universe is not my personal perspective but you keep conjuring away if it makes you happy.

On what "parameters" does it depend?

it depends, which parameters are you considering? its your scenario not mine, surely any parameter which has some influence on reality would be considered?

This is clearly not true.

There are parameters in physics which govern the rate of fusion in stars.

It's possible [mathematically as opposed to in reality] to alter these parameters and
alter the physical world so as to change the fusion rate in stars. [and to do so in such
a way as not just intelligent life, but ourselves could still exist]

This is a change to the fundamental nature of the universe.

It has absolutely no effect whatsoever on what is or is not ethical or moral.

Therefore it cannot be true that any parameter that has some influence on reality must have
an effect on morality and ethics.

..............................

For this particular example you are the only one who can tell us what parameters might effect
your moral code. Because you are the one who knows upon what foundations your moral code
[this is assuming you have such a thing] rests, and thus what factors might effect it.

I'm not considering any "parameter," which is why I was asking you to clarify what you mean. You have not done so.

you are asking me to proffer parameters in a scenario that you made up, I don't think so.

How about proffering the parameters of your:

1. Ego
2. Waist line
3. Theistic misunderstandings

Wrong. And what is worse you know that you are wrong because you have had this
explained to you in detail numerous times and have repeated back what we have said
proving you read it.

So not just wrong, but lying as well.

We have already explained what an atheist is in detail several times in this thread so I
am not going to do it again. Particularly given that you already know what an atheist is
and that what you just posted was a lie.

"an atheist": any human being
who rejects the possibility that there is in fact an Eternal, Sovereign, Omnipotent, Omniscience, Omnipresent God."

Its blatantly obvious to everyone what difference it makes.

1. I am egoless, I have no egocentricities, i have transcended the self.
2. Waist line could be skinnier, but its nothing to worry about at present.
3. Theistic misunderstandings? i have none, i understand everything about everything.

LOL. I've got to hand it to you, Robbie, you're living proof that if you give a man enough rope and he'll shoot himself in the foot.

and yet I appear to be far more knowledgeable than you in Biblical matters, fully conversant with scripture and its application, have a good grasp of my own faith and a handle on the ideas behind others even though I do not profess them myself while you seem intent simply to blow the same whistle day in and day out, 'you're this and you're that'.

You can 'appear' to be anything you like all day long.

It doesn't change what you really are.
