Enlightened rants...

[WinterHold]

I am defining good and evil as it IS - simple humanity.  No need for a deity, we have developed our own understanding of right and wrong through eons of evolution and the suffering we created by inhumanity to others.  

There is no "source".  There is no morality coming from any deity or any religious book.  The Bible and the Quran both fail utterly at teaching morality. 
There is no book from "god" and no messenger from "god" - only fantasy writings and people who want to control others.  There should never be any need for any human being to transmit any sort of message from a deity.  If your deity has only one-hundredth of the ability you profess, then it can communicate by itself.  It apparently NEEDS human worship and attention, and yet, in this age where a 7-year-old can send a message to all corners of the world . . . we get nothing from "god".   Only the rantings of witch doctors trying to sell their delusions.

Every bit of morality was taught to humans through "experience"; and experience comes from interaction with the elements of this universe.
Humans evolved through going through a stage after the next, swallowing every creation they find useful in their disposal.

Here is where the path becomes two:
-A believer would say that a higher creator is responsible for creating what humans used all along to learn what they know.
-A non-believer would say that a higher creator isn't responsible for creating what humans used all along to learn what they know.

No matter what; some people will believe , others will not. Both paths are open, and both paths have followers.
Madness begins when other humans believe they can enforce their beliefs on others; it begins when ego controls a priest or a Sheikh to make him believe he's better than everybody else, or "a favored one". There extremism and evil begin.
