2. Ascribe some sort of arbitrary value to human beings
3 The naturalist has a third option of having no stance on morality and just following instinctual feelings and empathy towards other humans.
to say someone has the choice of either believing in god or not being able to value human life is ridiculous.
also you say no matter how much is discovered we havet found any reason to help discover a reason to treat humans better.
another stupid claim.
the reason people stopped executing witches which was started by religion is because of natural empathy and science, the discovery that witches actually dont exist.
the same goes for predice against women, homosexuals and people of other religions.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
