Finally an atheist proper, with views and questions
#29
RE: Finally an atheist proper, with views and questions
Sure. I love this stuff. If you wanted something else to ponder..and perhaps a way to talk about morality in terms that would appeal to or be understandable to a theist with opinions similar to those expressed by swinburne - but from an atheist pov - you might observe that if or when we accept that over praise may be a moral obligation in a general sense and is or can be essentially valid in an objective moral system, with the greatest overpraise being obliged to agents or forces most critical and generative to our very being..that such a commitment might be better served by a religion of nature than a religion of theistic gods.
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!
