(May 25, 2012 at 4:19 pm)Paul the Human Wrote: If there is no Christian god, then there is no such thing as sin. So, as I do not believe in one, I do not believe in the other. I can account for things such as murder and rape simply by knowing that people are animals which are driven by desire... and some people have very dark desires.
No gods required.
So if murder and rape, which are actions not to be done, according to the ten commandments, and of course your conscience, are to be done, can you really blame anyone for doing them? I mean, if that's their genetic programming, and their simply obeying their natural animal behavior patterns which came from lesser evolved primates, how can anyone say objectively that this is wrong, and not just by an opinionated standard?
Are we essentially evolved spacesuits stupidly assembled by no other reason than to reproduce more of the same stupidly assembled spacesuits that will eventually cease to exist?
