The twenty-first installment of my original series, "Discovering Religion", and the second episode in the "Morality" miniseries. In this episode I examine the philosophical implications of ultimate accountability and how a belief in heaven/hell destroys the theistic concept of free will and makes genuine belief in God utterly impossible.

1. Enough of that and you will be "programmed" to think as an atheist. nt

2. I don't see the "satire" icon! Surely you must know that..

there is no "programming" needed for free thinking. For a person NOT to believe, the person is as much an atheist as a baby is ! All "programming" comes from theistic thinkers who insist that the mind of the baby must be "taught" about a religion.

3. When it is common for atheists to tell others what NOT to believe in,

I seriously must question the free thinking claims of atheism/secularism. When a group needs to rely so heavily on ridicule to convince others to see things their way, that really diminishes their credibility.

6. You make a great point!

No, not really. Just more incoherent babble.
