Quote:Ok, how?Simple, being socially minded. I generally do care about others well being. As much as you can in fact. Tell me, why do I need some imaginary friend in order to do good if I can already do good without such a thing?
Quote:Can you give examples of this good that we cannot do? I can do good on the same level as you can. Prove me wrong.
Quote:Sustained, secret good, such that you are not rewarded. This isn't a competition, by the way...though I'm sure you'd put on a great show in order to "win" against me.
I was not asking for a competition. I simply asked what is it you think I cannot do. The above you mentioned is something I can and have already done. I do things for others despite there being no reward for me. I've done things that I will not gain from but others gain from it. So you are dead wrong there. I can do all the good in the world just as you can. It's just I don't need a religion or some god thing to give me a reason to do it.
Quote:Thanks Ace for rehashing what EvF just said and making the same mistakes.If you think I'm wrong then answer the blood questions that I put as an example! Don't just say I'm wrong and dance around my points, answer them or say nothing.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
