Don’t Blame Me!

How do you measure it - dignity I mean. When you say, IF you say, “I want to be a person of integrity,” or “All humans have dignity or worth,” on what are you basing those comments? Certainly not on anything that humanists, relativists or atheists can come up with.

The relativist, the humanist, and the atheist of course cannot uphold human dignity on anything beyond passionate pronouncements. Rather, these philosophies dehumanise others. They do this first by ruling out any and all moral dignity. Atheists will say things like, “I’m a good person,” but any who do say things like that are basing their statement on nothing more than comparing themselves to other people who are "worse." Big deal! On atheism, people have been reduced to firing atoms and chemical reactions. On atheism, we aren’t people with inherent value and worth. We aren’t people with universal dignity. And we certainly aren’t people with the dignity to choose good over bad, right over wrong. Rather than viewing humans as responsible agents, atheism has left us as mere replicating phenotypes bent only on survival.

“What is a human? What is a human self, a human individual? That's more difficult. It's not a question I can answer - it's not a question any scientist can answer at present, though I think they will. I believe it will turn out that what a human is, is some manifestation of brain stuff and its workings . . . I'm certainly happy that we are a product of brains and that when our brains die, we disappear.”

The second thing that atheism forces upon us is the loss of any form of redemption. Atheist ethicists hope that we will some how evolve a more advanced ethical inner code. Current evidence would indicate that the lack of an ethical code is not the problem. We know everything we need to know to form a just and righteous society. However, a willingness, and an ability to follow this inner code is what we need most. Atheism has no means of bringing this about. Since, in atheism there is no truth, no path, nothing more than your local community’s fad for this decade, on atheism Might continues to be Right. It’s true that some atheists will admit to the existence of evil, but they have no idea what to do about it other than to say, “It’s someone else’s fault.”
