I basically said to myself, well if morality cannot come from evolution (biological evolution specifically) then evolution must come from a transcendent power. But my mistake is that I did not realize (very foolishly) that it could just have been a creation of social dynamics.
The above, for example, is not exactly the kind of thing I would expect to blindside someone who studied psychology. That you had to have this pointed out to you at AF is breathtaking. In fact, if you still have any of your textbooks, I might be able to suggest some rereading....as I'm entirely sure that you could not have gotten through so much as a basic intro without that being touched on.
To put it bluntly..... I think that you're a fraud - but it's never too late to back down from being an asshole and learn something. Whadda ya say? Would you like to start over with questions, rather than declarations, about morality, or morality as perceived by atheists? You're likely to find a samplers tray of views, many of which identical to your own. If you...personally..... fail to see how some specific moral statement x is instantiated absent any reference to gods - then just ask?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
