Atheism and morality

[genkaus]

So that we'd always have reason to comply with the commands.

If I tell you to do something you don't necessarily have reason to do it. If morality tells you to do something you do, even if you don't want to.

I assume we have reason to do what is in our interests. If there is a god and an afterlife and the god has control over our interests in that afterlife - and is vengeful - then her instructions to us are instructions we all have reason to comply with, even if we don't want to.

Wrong again. Having control over afterlife is not an inescapable reason for anything. I wouldn't have to do anything even if god told me to.

'Should' is a favouring, you total moron.

And morality doesn't say 'should', you witless cretin. In fact, it doesn't 'say' anything.

Here's my impression of you"

'Morality doesn't favour or instruct, it favours and instructs.
Morality is an idea. Ideas can't favour or instruct. But morality doesn't. It favours and instructs. It doesn't favour or instruct. It is an idea. ideas can't favour or instruct. So morality doesn't. It is a code of instructions. But those aren't instructions. They are instructions. Not instructions. Instructions. Not instructions.

I'm afraid I can't argue with someone this stupid, so byeeee

Bad, bad impression. All you do is show the utter lack of comprehension of the extremely simple logic. Let me simplyfy.

"Morality is an idea. Ideas don't favor or instruct. Thus, morality doesn't favor or instruct. It is a code of instruction. Being a code of instructions doesn't mean it instructs. It simply tells you what it is, not what it does."
