Let Christ reveal "truth and reality" to you.
What's there to reveal? If somebody hangs you on a cross, you eventually
asphyxiate. That's all the truth & reality I need to concern myself about
"Christ".
In case you haven't figured it out yet, Christ demonstrate the meaning
of having a firm set of values you know to be right ...
I believe no such thing. A guy running around playing with sedition in a
cloud of apparent megalomnia on one hand, & talking beatific flumadiddle
on the other, doesn't particularly demonstrate anything other than the
illusions fostered by an archtypical religious nut. That you can draw so
much balderdash from what is obviously twaddle, is a demonstration of your
own confusion.
Christ's values need advocating, for if everyone believes in
incorruptibility, even under threat, eventually we will have clean
government, or if everybody believes in caring and being humane,
eventually we won't have any more torture and mass-graves etc. etc.
Christianity has been a part of making mass graves & torturing people,
just like the rest of the all encompassing bunkum people like to buy into.
The demand for conformity to one set of values or else, will likely lead
to more of the same.
Most atheists seem too cynical, if not paranoid to even subscribe to
such ideals, with or without any God.
What it "seems" like to you isn't particularly the case. Now, a guy who
insists on everybody believing in a fairy tale, because he believes people
are so fucked up that they have to be lied to in order for them to be
"convinced" to get along, is operating under extreme cynicism & bad faith.
