I would submit that the ends justify the means when the result is a group benefit. I suppose it will be apparent here that I am not an objectivist... but...
I feel that if, hypothetically, you are attempting to throw off repressive theocratic rule (in your own nation), and a certain number of...
Umm... have you ever eaten shellfish? Then he definitely hates you. In fact, being that Eve was the first to move from the lord's grace, and you are one of her many daughters, I must assume that God triple-hates you.
I, certainly, attempt to enlighten those who have been converted to Christianity, in an attempt to decrease the total number of theists in the world, slight disempowering theocratic sects, and weakening the chances that I will be murdered for being intelligent. I suppose that is selfish.
Off Topic: No. Fetuses are not living beings. If you can remove a fetus from a mother's womb, and show me that fetus living independently, perhaps in a flat in New Jersey, I will consent to the idea that it sustains independent life. Abortions, for any purpose, must be legal until the child is...
I believe that the Abrahamic God does not exist. I base this belief on logical truths such as the Non-Contradiction Law, the Argument from Evil, the Argument from Multiplicity, the Hidden-God Argument, and, least assertively, the Argument from Simplicity.

Yes, she is one of the Phelps slaves. I had a brief conversation with her. She is entirely non-sensical. Thankfully, I had the opportunity to talk with her long enough to break her down with Biblical verse. She repeatedly tried to call the "Out of context" card, but it was unjustified. I like...
"We" may be sure of Jesus' historical manifestation, through faith, but there is no empirical evidence of His existence.
The primary "proof" of Jesus' existence, cited by many Christian theologians in their battle to rationalize their faith, is this passage from Josephus, in "The Antiquities...
I am a Gnostic Atheist, or Critical Positive Anti-theist Atheist. I make this statement in relation to the things that I come in contact with, rather than those that I do not. Haha. I make no claim in regard to far-eastern religion... but in regard to the Abrahamic faiths. I can admit that I...
In response... (to your arguments from most recent, backward.)
God is an infinite being. Infinitism requires an absolute lack of linearity, meaning that fictional event A, and fictional event B would, logically, occur simultaneously in an infite complex, no matter the circumstances of their...
