This last comment was written while I was gone and I simply never got around to getting around to it. But now I have some time so I will post my reply herein:
He had stated “I’m not sure what I said that [he meant “what”] lead you to that conclusion” that he was excusing Pagan human sacrifice but besmirching the Bible. This goes way back to my comments about evilbible.com itself and TheAtheistChef who never write articles, post comments or make videos which condemns Pagans but, as noted, only the Bible. That his “assertions are unfounded” was stated within the context that he views human life as the result of a very long series of blind, random, unguided and goal-less accidents and that humans are merely animals. Thus, any reason given by him to attempt to justify well, anything can be discarded as a non sequitur.
Do you see the problem with a beginning premise of evolution? ISIS does that which it does for the exact reason that they are seeking to ensure the “Societal health of the world as a whole” by imposing sharia law, establishing a worldwide ummah, etc. They would argue that “If we have people” those who oppose ISIS “that are trying to ruin societal health” as they see it, “they should be dealt with. Imprisonment, separation from society,” etc.
Since there are no absolute ethics in Atheism but merely a bottomless pit of assertions and personal preferences we end up with such relativism and then it is TheAtheistChef vs. ISIS and may the fittest survive.
Do you think that Richard Dawkins knows something about evolution? I ask because TheAtheistChef wrote that I “obviously know nothing of evolution. We evolved as a social species…” because I had noted that “empathy…may be a Darwinian misfiring…” I was specifically paraphrasing Dawkins in stating that as he has, for example, claimed that altruism is a mistakes, a blessed Darwinian mistake—see Altruism or Allfalseism?
