Atheism and morality

[paulpablo]

Morality is NOT those sensations and beliefs. Morality is the thing sensed, the thing believed.

So you see morality as a physical thing rather than a belief or sensation? Because surely a mental thing would be considered to be a sensation, thought or belief.

Some people have a sense of god. THat doesn't mean god exists. When a sensation gives us the impression of something that doesn't really exist we call it a hallucination. Sometimes our visual sensations have nothing answering to them (such as when we are dreaming - we have visual impressions when we are dreaming, but there is nothing answering to them - a dream is a hallucination), and so on. Our senses can let us down.

I don't believe that all sensations of god are hallucinations, I think some are, but others could just be feeling of ecstasy or other types of feelings of intense well being coupled with indoctrination that a god exists. So someone could have a sense of right or wrong based on emotional feelings and they wouldn't be hallucinations.
