Positive Atheism

[Purple Rabbit]

Here are some things which come to mind for me.

Mythos. God necessatated explaining

Why not simply the other way 'round: the need for explanation necessitated god(s)?

That necessated a higher level of morality, defining moral terpitude.

So did we start without any morality? And what exactly would that mean?

I can see that leading us further away from naturalistic communal morals towards idealistic morals.

Is 'culture' somewhere in your list of possible moral shaping candidates?

Abolition of Slavery. Assisting in women's rights.

Though it is fair to say that christianity had some role in abolition, it is also fair to say that it had some role in establishing and maintaining slavery. The bible has some uglly slavery condoning paragraphs in it. If you're sure they are all just metaphorical sidesteps to enhance its legibility, I'll rip 'm out right away so we cannot be confused any longer, and I suggest you do the same.

Some parts of christianity has partly followed growing consensus on women's rights, but it is gross revisionistic crap to suggest that christianity has been on the forefront of that.
