“It’s clear we’re being guided by something, therefore a guide exists” is circular reasoning.
Try again.
There is guidance.
And if you think about long enough, yes, you realize it requires a source.
To say there is a source of guidance would be not sequitur, but at same time, we know it's irrational to say guidance has no source.....
So what is the source of guidance for you? What is doing the guiding?
Or do you believe love is not to act according to moral guidance.
MK, you’re making this too hard.
I am a human being. I am conscious, sentient, and reasonably intelligent compared to lesser animals. In other words, I posses the basic building blocks for experiencing empathy.
I don’t want to be harmed. I don’t want to be beaten, raped, or killed, because those things hurt. I feel badly imagining other people being hurt in those ways because I can put myself in their shoes. That’s empathy, and it’s the foundation of human morality. It’s by no means a comprehensive analysis of morality, but empathy is necessary. Treat others the way you would want to be treated.
See that? No god needed.
