Objective morality as a proper basic belief
RE: Objective morality as a proper basic belief

Reminds me of a co-worker of mine from a few years ago; he said if he didn't smoke, the rest of us would all be suffering for it. So in spite of that habit being harmful to himself and the rest of us, apparently he was sparing us a worse fate. But I'm not sure if the reasoning behind that is the same as this...
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.
