Atheists Have the Most Logical Reason for being Moral
#25
RE: Atheists Have the Most Logical Reason for being Moral
I think most people have a moral compass to some degree. Its a combination of instincts derived from us evolving to be social creatures and social conditioning. It takes the average person a great deal of effort and mental gymnastics to go against it.
Of course theres psychopaths and sociopaths who are somewhat relieved of that burden but most of them come with their own set of psychological flaws that make up for that and then some. Unsurprisingly high functioning sociopaths make fantastic lawyers and business people.
