eh? i was born in the late 70s. i lived most of my life in the UK. and I've been an atheist for about 10 years despite being raised Christian.
You all cited empathy, and I said who cares since empathy is not universal, using Syria and its civil war as an example.
Admit it, generation x/y (,i.e. my generation) believes in transitory morals which our forebears did not. we generally reject absolutes in most, if not all, forms. Moreover, we DO say we hold full prerogative to form our personal ethics. Look at the thread in the philosophy forum about that, and you'd see all of us cited how our morals are formed.
A "muslim" nor any other Abrahamic believer cannot believe in personal morals, since God is supreme to them and he dictates all phenomenon.
So then empathy is not universal.
yet nobody can answer that society in contemporary times stresses a personal moral system? or are you suggesting the belief in moral absolutes return?
lol..
most men my age merely determine their personal morals and act accordingly.

Empathy can be overcome by ideas.
Put a someone in the right setting or give them religion or a sufficiently strong political view and they can overcome it.
Then of course some people are just natural shits.
I have a feeling you may be the latter.
So then empathy is not universal.
