It is difficult to
grasp that some people could consider that the Universe, Galaxies,
Solar System, Earth-moon system, the preparation of the Earth,
complex Ecosystems, biosphere, human habitation, etc. are complete
accidental coincidences. Several Atheists claimed to have
analyzed available evidence for the existence of God and concluded
that there was no convincing or supporting data. There are believers
who tend to suspect that some people may be using atheism as a tool
to disassociate themselves from certain religious ethics, morals and values. Atheists do not consider their beliefs to
be any form of religion, as their system of beliefs are based
upon the non-existence of any form of deity, particularly in respect
of any entity of a spiritual nature that would have been capable of
creating and/or maintaining the universe. Although many
atheists hold that any moral code would be personal in nature
(derived from strictly private considerations), it can appear that
there is a uniform code structure loosely founded on the antithesis
of several common religious ethics, morals and values.
Ostensibly, it can give the impression that atheists analyzed the
Jewish Decalogue and adopted guiding principles based on the
opposite of select Laws. Some atheists exhibit an agenda
superficially assailing religious figures (1).
For instance, in
response to the Commandment; "You Shall Not Murder", the very first
priority at the top the atheist belief
list is a surreptitiously worded statement supporting abortion: "In
the inherent worth of every person. People are worthy of respect,
support, and caring simply because they are human. Unfortunately, we
have not reached a consensus on when human life, in the form of an
ovum and spermatozoon, becomes a human person. On this matter, our
lack of agreement on when personhood begins mirrors that of society
at large." (2).
The overtone endeavors to dehumanize a developing baby utilizing
associations to chemical reactions.
