The Prodigal Son

[Adam Blackstar]

We have discussed before who exactly "religious morality" is for. To whom are the positive aspects of it not already obvious?

So far, it appears to be psycopaths; people with no sense of empathy, and hence no inherent moral compass. Who else it is aimed at, I don't know. You can just as easily appeal to people's sense of empathy to explain why morality should be a certain way.

Of course then you get into the apologist assertion that ALL morality is religious morality because without God there would be no standard of good and we would all just be out mindlessly raping each other.
