Objective morality as a proper basic belief
#92
RE: Objective morality as a proper basic belief
Well, if we define morality as the consequences of actions in terms of harm to living beings, then he's just flat wrong. But if we define it as what makes a vindictive sky fairy want to drown us or burn us, he's right.
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.
