You’ve seen handicapped parking spaces, right?
They’re excellent!
So close to the door.
So convenient!
You’ve seen handicapped ramps too.
Those make it easy to for wheelchairs to navigate to the front door.
The front door opens automatically when you push the big blue button.
Access to public buildings is one thing civilization does to assist handicapped people.
This wouldn’t happen without religion.
Natural selection wouldn’t install ramps at the grocery store.
Survival of the fittest requires the weak to die off.
Access ramps mess-up evolutionary progress by allowing the weaker herd members to survive.
It is religion that says, “Take care of your neighbor.”
Religion says, “Do for the least of these.”
Religion says, “Let he who is without legs park the closest.”
Handicapped parking doesn’t happen when people do science.
It only happens when people do religion.

Just how desperate do you people get to insert your ideology into everyone’s lives? Thank you religious people for making sure these parking spaces are for the handicapped people. I expect it is your duty considering your loving Lord almighty decided to make them that way.
You, too, have an ideology. You are inserting it here now.
It kind of sounds like you’re suggesting that a loving God wouldn’t create people with disabilities…
Is that what you meant?
Tami, I can’t really speak for John, but I think he was talking about the evolutionary idea of “the survival of the fittest”. It is not evolutionary values to protect the week and disabled.
But it is a value in religions.
Especially Christianity.
Actually, this is a social justice ideal that plenty on non-religious people value. In fact studies show non religious more strongly value this than religious. Compassion is a trait that makes for strong communities. You have us confused with Libertarians.
Keep calling to account the unbelieving. Although I will say this. Atheists can’t do science. So it’s not faith vs. science. Faith (only in the one true living God) OWNS science. Because in order to do science, you need, truth, knowledge, logic, and uniformity and these must be universal. These are the preconditions for intelligibility. You can’t have those without starting with God first. Col. 2:3 says all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ. Without Christ, you have no claims to wisdom, knowledge, in a word, science. So the atheist defeats his own foolish self simply by trying to contradict this.
If atheists don’t know science and God knows it all, ditch everything technical and reject what science has discovered for the world such as your hi tech phones, computers, medicines and everything else, why not back up your obviously strong narrow minded anti-atheist ideals and go back to living in the time of Jesus where everything was just fine, put on your sandals and robes, stone a few infidels, whip your slaves and rape your wife as this was all normal behaviour back then.
Nope. You missed the part where I said atheists don’t OWN science. It belongs to Christians because God created the idea and the means for science. Most of the technological advancements are credited to Christians who have a solid purpose and meaning for everything we do. Your claims are baseless btw. Those things you unfounedly tacked on to Christianity, you can’t even tell me why they’re wrong according to an atheistic, evolutionary, materialistic worldview.
Atheists seldom make comments that are relevant to the topic. They repeat the same things regardless of what’s been said in conversation.
