Problem of good and evil for an atheist

[AnunZi]

Whether you like it or not. There ARE things which are absolutely evil and things which are absolutely good.

I’m afraid these terms are entirely subjective. What is considered “Evil” in one society may not necessarily be considered evil in another society.

I know most atheists atempt to discredit this idea (There is a huge problem if there is such thing).

Sweeping generalisation. Not even going to answer that.

So what is one example of something absolutely evil?
Killing a baby, an innocent baby for any reason is evil. (please dont derail this thread with attacking the Bible)
If you think killing a baby is ever justified, I think it is safe to say, that you are sick and perveted.
Some cultures did practice killing babies, however, we would call them 'immoral'.

I agree with Adrian's example here, what if that baby was going to become someone like Hitler?

In black and white terms as you write it above any person with a sense of morality would be abhorred by killing an innocent child.

Since we are the only creature on this planet, who has the ability to do evil and good and not just to respond to external stimuli.

And you can prove this? You know the inner workings of the minds of ALL creatures on earth?

This notion of good and evil had to come from somewhere.

It did. Our heads.

Evolutionarily speaking why should I care if a child was killed in Africa?

I think this is more to do with how human minds work that evolution.

We visualise events not related to us by essentially emulating them in our heads. So if someone tells you about babies being murdered in Africa your brain with essentially recreate a simulation of how that would make YOU feel if it happened to your child. That’s just brain chemistry regarding processing abstract ideas.

There is no natural explanation for the concept of good and evil. So where did it come from?

CONCEPT. Idea. It came from our heads!

I personally think it came from a cosmological battle between good and evil, although I cant conclude and prove that it, it explains things much better than anything else.

Well done. You believe in fairy tales. I'm sorry to tell you that does not make it true.
