Atheism and Ethics

[Lucian]

For me, it's not about being entrenched in a practical position, it is about accepting the cold, harsh, brutal reality a meaningless existence. This frightens a majority of the species, so they paint pretty pictures to disguise the abysmal, daunting darkness and to console their fears, and that's not my problem.

Now, I'm not saying that hoomans are weak for having morals, because there are certain aspects of hooman behavior I find reprehensible, such as, harming children, and I feel anyone who does, should be removed from the gene pool, expeditiously, and with grave prejudice.

Hoomans are social creatures, having specific customs and codes of civility to benefit the advancement of society are absolutely favorable for the growth and, progress of the species.

Which is fine, but still not what I want to focus on here. happy to discuss on another thread
