And I'm not speaking of crimes, I'm talking about such things as hatred or pride. Can an atheist really argue that these things are wrong? I believe it is foolish for an atheist if he attempts to do so.
All humans get their morals from their evolutionary history of being a social animal. Being full of hatred or pride will result in social ostracization from other members of our society.
I believe it is foolish to contend that we only get morals from a very immoral book written by a very primitive people thousands of years ago.
If that be the case then some humans need to return back to lower life forms and relearn morals.
