How Do We Behave?

RE: How Do We Behave?
(May 12, 2011 at 2:58 pm)diffidus Wrote: If you believe in God, then how to behave is simple: This life is transient and if you do good things you will spend the rest of eternity in Heaven, whereas, if you behave badly you go to Hell for eternity. If you truly believe in God, then you cannot question the morality of this because God, being perfect, could not be in error.

If you do not believe in God, then this life is still a fleeting transient moment compared to the age of the universe, but how to behave is not so clear. Since this is the one and only existence, then the only rational course is to pursue those things that serve your own ends and maximise the pleasure and happiness of your short vacation from the dark abyss of eternity.

With regard to the latter, this means that the only grounds for altruism is if you happen to be a person who enjoys putting others before yourself. If you happen to be selfish thats OK too. The only thing you need to avoid is breaking the Law, since this may take away your freedom which would diminish your existence. Apart from that, it is a free for all - a morality of ends?


there is no morality, there is no justice, there is only meat and death.

oh you can say there is punishment for breaking laws, yes there is... but not if you create the laws.

there is only the pursuit of happiness. whatever it is that makes you happy. there are limited resources, and those resources are the key to happiness... that and other people.

but the ones who stand in the way, the weak in mind and body.. these should not be carried along.

cry all you want but the man who purges the world of these people has the right idea.

hide in your pity and doubt and shame of saying it aloud.. but the sooner the planet is purged of those who stand in the way of progress the better.

there is strength, there is power.. there are the abused and the abusers.. and which would you rather be.

there will always be war, with or without religion. there will always be conflict.. you must make sure you win these conflicts. we need a leader.. we need one who will destroy the past and out of the flames will come the future.

again you can pretend it does not exist, you can pretend that the theist does not wish to convert the world or thinks that the world would not be for the better if all non believers gone, but that would be folly.

shred the blanket of apathy and unite! it is time to come from the shadows and take control. we need a strong leader... one who will not cower to false morality.

accept me.. as king! KING OF THE ATHEISTS muahahahaha Worship (large)
