Athiests are morally superior to believers
Christians are moral out of the fear of eternal damnation. Their goodness is not out of true morality but rather is out of self-interest and fear.
What about athiests? If there's no afterlife and no reason to be moral, why arent atheists running around decapitating people left and right?
Peaceful athiests- the majority of nonbelievers, are of the highest form of morality.
To be a good person, even when you know that you exist in a valueless universe in which the most pious monk will meet the same fate as the most bloodthirsty murderer- that is the highest level of humanity.
To honestly care for other living things when there is no reward for doing so and no punishment for not doing so- that is the highest level of morality.
To know that when you die youre nothing, and yet still have integrity- that is the highest form of existance you can achieve.
And if there is indeed a god, then he's like a kid with a magnifying glass standing over an anthill, and I dont want to have anything to do with that god.
I will burn in the sixth circle of hell with a smile on my face knowing that my moral values came from myself and not from being scared shitless into submission.
But even worse than christianity is islam.
Morality is reversed in islam; While christianity (generally) rewards good acts such as helping people, Islam rewards evil acts such as blowing yourself up in a crowd of innocents.
Unlike christianity which (generally) enforces order and peace, Islam only enforces disorder and chaos.
The Islamic belief in an afterlife is the most dangerous illusion that exists, because Islamist dogma dictates that the entire world can be vaporized in atomic fire and everything will be perfect in heaven with 40 virgins.
Religion is for people who are incapable of true morality. The afterlife is a lie that creates false morality through fear.
If you're an athiest, and you arent a bloodthirsty hun, you truely are a morally superior being.
