Moral Nihilism
#45
RE: Moral Nihilism
Quote:God’s law is certainly a cross cultural moral standard. The Ten Commandments, for example, are binding on all people of every culture throughout history. It wasn’t intended merely for the Jews 3500 years ago.

You don't need to read the bible to know that killing a person is a bad thing. The commandements are based on what people thought was wrong at the time. People had moral values that where similar long before the old testament was written and the commandemnt was written down.

Also they are not binding on all people of every culture.


Quote:They would be if they were consistent. A bare denial of my argument is hardly convincing.

As I said I'm not an nihilst and I'm an atheist. Which most athesit aren't. Don't know why come with such a claim. I have moral values wihtout religion and I'm not nihilistic in anyway. Everyone isn't the same, it wouldn't suprise me if some atheist are nihilist but that doesn't mean everyone are.

Quote:“without religion you would have no self control whatsoever.”

A false statement. I live without religion and have self control, also my country which is pretty much non-religious is also having good control of itself.

Quote:I have provided the argument, how is that ignorant?

Since it's not correct. There's nothing that say atheism entail moreal nihilism.
- Science is not trying to create an answer like religion, it tries to find an answer.
