Famous Atheists On The Negro Race by M0ron: 8:48pm On Jun 14, 2018 |
David Hume; I am apt to suspect the negroes and in general all the other species of men (for there are four or five different kinds) to be naturally inferior to the whites. There never was a civilized nation of any other complexion than white, nor even any individual eminent either in action or speculation. On the other hand, the most rude and barbarous of the Whites ... have still something eminent about them. ... Such a uniform and constant difference could not happen, in so many countries and ages, if nature had not made an original distinction between these breeds of men. ... In Jamaica, indeed, they talk of one Negro as a man of parts and learning; but it is likely he is admired for slender accomplishments, like a parrot who speaks a few words plainly. Voltaire; The negro race is a species of men as different from ours as the breed of spaniels is from that of greyhound. ... If their understanding is not of a different nature from ours it is at least greatly inferior. |

Mark twain also. Atheists sure do love the white man's idealogy. |

Good thread. Just to be clear, are you trying to make a connection between atheism and racism? |
Re: Famous Atheists On The Negro Race by M0ron: 8:40pm On Jun 17, 2018 |
HappyPagan: I am quoting leading atheists views on Negro. Many have rightly censured Christians for doing little to stop slavery. In fact many Christians were slave owners. But what about atheists,did they do any better? Were there any leading atheist lights opposed to slavery? |

M0ron: You should ask atheists about that, they look up to these men as intellectuals of their time, enlighten men as atheists would say. To the atheist, these men are their heros, they lead the way for future atheists. 1 Like |

ScienceWatch: Perhaps it's more accurate to say the racist white mans idealogy since atheism indirectly approves of racism. |

Like this is news. We have accepted that men have acted and spoken in dumb ways and may continue to do so but as enlightenment comes why must we hold on to the past? What you religionists fail to realise is you are locked into the past and will rather emulate the barbaric behaviour of unenlightened folk than take in new information and progress your mind. I don't give a damn if it was my father who did or said nasty things, I sure won't codify it and take it as gospel. 3 Likes |

LordReed: Atheists and their strawmans I never said you followed codified instructions. In fact atheists have no instructions, you could steal, rape, murder etc and it wouldn't objectively wrong or right in the atheist's worldview. Why do black atheists quote these guys? Don't you know to them you were just negroes? |
Re: Famous Atheists On The Negro Race by LordReed(m): 1:35pm On Feb 27, 2019 |
rekinomtla: Read what I wrote again, where did I claim you said we follow codified instructions? Yes we could but we have empathy for our fellow man so we don't, not because a supposed god who we've never seen told us not to. Quote which guys? Have you seen me quote any famous atheist? |
Re: Famous Atheists On The Negro Race by rekinomtla(m): 1:38pm On Feb 27, 2019 |
LordReed: Only deluded folk would believe the universe and everything in it was the result of random accidents. Isaac Newton was right, atheism is senseless.

ScienceWatch:Lol, irony. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_and_schizophrenia Religious, spiritual, or transpersonal experiences and beliefs meet many criteria of delusional or psychotic disorders. A belief or experience can sometimes be shown to produce distress or disability—the ordinary standard for judging mental disorders. There is a link between religion and schizophrenia, a complex mental disorder characterized by a difficulty in recognizing reality, regulating emotional responses, and thinking in a clear and logical manner. Those with schizophrenia commonly report some type of religious delusion, and religion itself may be a trigger for schizophrenia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_disorder 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Pls head over to the religion section and view this topic CHRISTIANITY IS NOT THE PROBLEM OF AFRICA! They believe there's no God, that goes against reason and rationality. Senseless as Sir Isaac Newton would say. Psychiatrists say that only patients in a Mental Asylum insist on fighting a God they claim don't exist.

rekinomtla: First off, any person who continues to conflate evolution and cosmology with atheism despite repeated correction has earned the title of dumbass. Even if the god of atheism comes and says "atheism says the universe came from nothing" I will tell it off. That leads to the second, atheism has no "voice of god" who is a man like me, no bishops or pastors and no messiahs who come to declare the immutable word of atheism. Anyone who is wrong no matter who he is, is wrong. Dawkins was wrong in saying the universe came from nothing. If one wants to be kind one could say he was talking metaphorically, in any other context he is wrong. And here lies again another glaring difference between those who use their grey matter and those who secede thinking to archaic books steeped in myths and fairytales. |
Re: Famous Atheists On The Negro Race by rekinomtla(m): 10:07am On Feb 28, 2019 |
LordReed: Lmfao, I not conflating anything here. Atheism rejects certain beliefs about the nature of the universe and therefore has implications about our morality, about the origins of life and the universe. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a certified retard_ Even if the god of atheism comes and says "atheism says the universe came from nothing" I will tell it off. What about the stuff about random chance being ultimately responsible for the existence of all life? That makes sense. That leads to the second, atheism has no "voice of god" who is a man like me, no bishops or pastors and no messiahs who come to declare the immutable word of atheism. Anyone who is wrong no matter who he is, is wrong. Dawkins was wrong in saying the universe came from nothing. If one wants to be kind one could say he was talking metaphorically, in any other context he is wrong. No one is using Dawkins as the voice of atheism. He just understands the implications of atheism and is honest about it, unlike most atheists. And here lies again another glaring difference between those who use their grey matter and those who secede thinking to archaic books steeped in myths and fairytales. Lmao, What lies here is another thoroughly brainwashed atheist who refuses to see the problems of his worldview. |
Re: Famous Atheists On The Negro Race by LordReed(m): 10:55am On Feb 28, 2019 |
rekinomtla: The certified retards are ones we keep telling atheism rejects only one belief and that of god or gods.
Not a position of atheism. What the evidence is pointing at so far as science has found is that all of it is explained by naturalistic processes. It may look like random chance but it isn't. Is there a random chance that someday you will fall from a height but instead of falling you will float like a feather with no aid?
Still doesn't make him right.
I see it quite well and I luckily no longer have myths causing my brain to freeze into prehistoric thinking. |
