Atheists; what do you base your morals on?
RE: Atheists; what do you base your morals on?
Well there ya go, the flaw in your argument "...to the degree that I support it". Suppose that you support a certain kind of society that exists in a god-fearing religious context as prescribed by the father of Abraham. Now suppose I support a society of persons who support no idea of afterlife or supernaturalism and base their values on collective, changeable, ideas. Well now suppose those two groups not only have to find a way to create a collective society, but they have to be neighbors, and coworkers, and colleagues without killing each other. When developing rules for the two to live together, why does it make sense to exist only as an individual may agree with it? If you argue that society should be organized to your benefit, why can I not argue it should be organized to mine? What needs to be put in place is a system where any individual can do as they please and no individual can with intent harm another without some sort of consequence, at least as I see it. Rebuttal?
My religion is the understanding of my world. My god is the energy that underlies it all. My worship is my constant endeavor to unravel the mysteries of my religion. Thinking
