A challenge to theists

[Infidel]

Name a moral or ethical statement or action that a believer could say/perform that a non-believer could not. If you can't meet this challenge, then why be religious? There is something enlightening about the corollary to this challenge. If I asked you to name a wicked statement or action that could only be taken by a believer, you need not hesitate for 3 seconds to think of one.

Religion is not reduceable to ethics/morality alone.

The OP is whack. It's like asking if you can eat out and don't have to cook, why live indoors?

I agree….no religion has either….

Dribble, no complaints have been dismissed academically; to date all that’s been offered is Christian apologetics. Christians are free to buy into the sales pitch that Christianity isn’t evil if they wish….the fact remains the bible is an evil book, the religion is an appalling evil collation and the Christian description of god dispels what the term god means, and Christian history is nothing but atrocities. The bible 1127 (commissioned) acts of violence and evil compares palely with 110 mentions of love, while even some of these honorable (attempts at) mentions of love fail the definition of the term as well. It is so hard being tolerant with Christians while they are standing on the corpses of millions and millions of people they just murdered….. and all just doing gods will. To date no educated argument has ever been completed for this religions’ faith or existence….it hasn’t been done because it cannot be done. Don’t think so….then make it now and be the first in 2000 years to complete this challenge.
