Is There a Point To Living a Moral Life?

[Brian37]

That's a lot of people and a stupid reason for hating them.

AGAIN, my mother is a Catholic, she buys the virgin birth story, she buys the death story. I don't hate her, but that does not mean I have to love those claims.

Otherwise if we always avoided a challenge to a social norm to placate the insecurities of those who hold it, we'd still be in the dark ages and look like the Taliban ourselves.

The world changed because social norms were challenged. It is why blacks are no longer slaves and women have the right to vote. It is why we no longer believe the sun rotates around the earth.

Context matters and I think you missed that.

Because lack of moral values lead to a society collapsing into barbarism and anarchy.

Our republican party is doing is trying it's best to do that here.
