Why Secular Morality is Superior

[Whateverist]

So what if it turned out there is no such thing as a soul and I am just the by-product of my cranial activity? In the here-and-now I am still a conscious, self-aware being. I think. I feel. And if you prick me, I bleed. I'm not an object and my own compassion leads me to not treat any of my fellow human beings as such. This is why those of us who don't believe in a personal celestial father somehow get through life just fine and still manage to relate to one another in a healthy and compassionate manner, thank you very much.

You certainly seem to be speaking slowly enough and explaining the big words as you go with footnotes. But nothing seems capable of stopping the endlessly sputtered "but, but, but .." of the nothing-means-nothing-without-god bunch.

In the end I think we have to realize this isn't really a conversation between equals. So many in the gotta-be-god crowd just don't really listen and so the only ones who hear what you're saying are those of us in the choir. So let me just say I'm giving you a "10" for this response. You get high clarity scores as well as high responsiveness scores.

We simply can't judge our success on whether those who won't listen understand or not. Of course they won't.

If you took philosophy and didn't see any flaws with an atheist view accounting for morality than what were you doing? Did the professors convince you?

You see that, whateverist? Your study is worthless unless you conclude it as a theist! Obviously you did it wrong. Morality can't exist outside Lord Jesus. If he catches you with illegal good intentions or charity without a permit he'll break your legs. And then heal them. And then break them again.

Yep, and to think I wasted all that time doing it wrong. If only I had resisted being convinced by my professors so that I could be receptive to this moron's prattle. My older brother has this same idea of academic success.

He's convinced that academic success is a question of feeding back the prof's ideas exactly the way they put them out. Rough and tough people like himself who think for themselves are always penalized in an academic setting. It is this idea which has the U.S. electorate convinced that a C- president you'd like to have a beer with is as good if not better than one talks about all that shit you don't understand anyway.
