Because I find no other topic remotely as interesting or rewarding, my entire religious views revolve around this topic, my personal life, my relationship all orbit around it’s sphere. I’m not just intensely focused in it in discussions with atheists, but with Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc....
I think of nothing I want more from my daughters than to be Good.
Quote:Are you trying to argue that atheism allows for a "transcendental" morality that is objective, and here's arguments X and Y supporting this? If so, great! Vulcan and, I suspect, Belaqua are two among many atheists here who are "non-naturalists" when it comes to morality and yet still manage to be atheists. What's the agenda you're trying to fulfill otherwise if not that?
I’m not here to convince you or anyone else of anything, it’s only for the sake of developing my own views and perspectives, to think threw them more clearly, to find ways to express them simply, and in correspondence with the actual human experience. Not of morality as something theoretical, but morality as lived and perceived through the lens of human life.
I think most people if not everyone here, acknowledges the same underlying perception, they see what I do, but their attempts to articulate it, don’t align with this perception. And I like working through this quagmire, to glean what lays beneath its rubble. Something you derive better by pushing against what you don’t believe than what you think you do.
