Objective morality as a proper basic belief
#85
RE: Objective morality as a proper basic belief
What kills me is that jackasses like WLC claim there to be a 'deeper meaning' or that there even is a necessity for there to be a 'deeper meaning' to morality, when the justification for that is...the existence of a being. Like, by what virtue? Of simple existence? THAT somehow conjures up a deeper meaning? Then if we ask why god gets out of bed in the morning, how does he justify that? Because of a super-god? The whole foundation of this asininity is painfully obvious, how are they not embarrassed to keep espousing it? No amount of attributes you could ascribe to a being are anything other than arbitrary nonsense. You can't use something so moronic as a basis for anything.

The fact is, there is no objective nor absolute morality, there simply can't be. Not just because the bible makes exceptions to these rules all the damn time and therefore negating its own claim on them (not that morals come from comic books in the first place) but because reality isn't cut and dry.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
