Quote:I don't think your culture or your father's approval dictate what is right and wrong.
No, but in most cultures,they try very hard,usually with a lot of success..
Most of us give in to such pressures at some time in our lives. In an ideal world,on reaching adulthood, people would start thinking for themselves and work out their own beliefs and values. Sadly, this rarely seems to happen. Hence,atheists are in the vast minority,and the least reflective,most conservative and self interested political parties stay in power most of the time
