Why Atheism/Secular Humanism... Part II

Irrelevant. We do good deeds because they are good, not because some deity told us to.


Quote:and hence there is no reward for their deeds.
We do good things because they are good, not because some deity stores up treasures and promises riches after death. If I help you Rayaan I expect no reward. Death is my end regardless of how I lived my life, BUT I know I'm accountable to at least seven billion other people while I'm alive. I'm not expecting any praise, gratitude or immediate payment. I'm propagating a mean that if we're going to live together in a cooperative society it benefits all of us if we live together as harmoniously as possible.


Quote:Therefore, atheists are not considered as muhsineen according to the Quranic verses because everyone's goodness is judged from a spiritual perspective.
Don't care, I don't judge people by those asinine standards, and what does "spiritual" mean anyway?


Quote:Faith is primary and good actions are secondary. So, if faith is not present in the first place, then all the good deeds will be nullified.
So if I save you from a burning building without faith it wasn't a good deed. Are you fucking serious? ^^ You can't be. I bet you typed that statement with a massive grin on your face. Big Grin


Quote:I do believe that atheists can be good at heart, by their actions and morality, but just not spiritual-wise.
Then that's all that really matters, since spirituality is a meaningless word.
