The Atheist Delusion (2016)

I would like to address your argument as a former atheist. First of all, if we are animals without any deity (I’m not arguing which diety or religious book), right and wrong, uncaring, wrathful would not exist. A pet dog or cat can’t feel wrath or understand the concept of, “uncaring,” These are both examples of things that animals can’t experience but humans can. If we are animals, that’s not possible. There are tons of other examples of this. Do you have a conscience? Animals don’t. Do you have an appreciation for beauty? Animals don’t. The fact that you can judge a deity as uncaring proves that you’re not an animal. Your own logic is fallacious. The crimes of Hitler and Nero would not be bad or good. They would equal with the majesty of Victoria Falls. I’m not arguing the existence of God right now- just that there is a measure of good and bad. This measure would not exist if we were animals.

Nikki you are wrong , first off , that is a HUGE leap to say because we can feel “right or wrong , uncaring or wrathful “ that must be because of a “diety “ there are many higher mamals That show very complex emmotions similar to us wales , dolphins , nealry all of the large primates . You are trying to show that we are superior and not animals at all , we are highly evolved animals in our own enviroment less evovled in others . You make a lot of assumptions about what “animals “ can and cannot feel but even if you are correct all that shows is a different level of evolution .
