This is a clear and overwhelming fact that demolishes the Christian argument that their religion is needed for ethics. I may use that point in a future project. If you have any suggestions to improve my video, let me know. Davidjbroman@aol.com or search for me on Facebook. thx I love this statement: “Any rudimentary search will show that the most peaceful, stable countries in the world are the one that are largely secular.” This is a clear and overwhelming fact that demolishes the Christian argument that their religion is needed for ethics.

Action and belief are NOT synonymous. To equate a yund earth creationist to a suicide bomber is ridiculous, but you already knew that. Your example was laughably extreme and very nearly completely unrelated to my point. I respect human life and liberty, regardless of the beliefs of that human life (note: BELIEFS, not actions.) A human being is not part and parcel with their beliefs: minds constantly change. If I change my mind, do I cease to be me? A person is not their beliefs, unless they allow their beliefs to define them, which is often not the case in the secular society that I live in. I'm not sure how that led to respecting suicide bombers. But I also don't support capital punishment, so... I made no mention of people’s actions. Action and belief are NOT synonymous.

I’m not sure how that led to respecting suicide bombers. But I also don’t support capital punishment, so…

That was a mix up on your part. And he may not be that authority on what type of thinking benefits society, but statistics are: any rudimentary search will show that the most peaceful, stable countries in the world are the one that are largely secular.

Clearly all human life has potential, and hence an inherent value, from the day of conception. To deny a life that value is to strip it's dignity in the most primitive manner. And it's obvious that not all cultures have the same values, or lingual representations or life or it's value. Sadly history is clear witness enough to underline the validity of this proposition; ANY (universal concept) culture, group, entity, country, faction, individual, religion, whatever - that refuses to recognize and protect value of life (implicitly or explicitly), will propagate denial of dignity at some level and the results are increased death and suffering (non-fictional or fictional influences are a digression). Recent history is enough to support that claim too e.g. victims of Saloth Sar, Hitler, Saddam, etc. What value did they place on universal human rights? Darkness results from the absence of light, cold from the absence of heat, evil from the absence of good, silence the absence of sound, death from the absence of life, slavery is the absence of freedom to reach potential. So where is the benefit from assuming the absence of a universal and inalienable human rights, and dignity? No, that wasn’t my argument, re-read before you get your hypothetical
knickers in a torsion.
