"Morality is doing what is right, regardless of what you're told.
Religion is doing what you're told, regardless of what is right."
OMG I love this, this is iconic. Legendary.
Sorry I know he's your Dad but he's being an asshole. People who can't make up their own minds about morals, without the help of an ancient spellbook, are petty children who need to have their hand held and be spoon-fed throughout life. That's what I think of religious people who think it's impossible to be moral without religion. No independence, just want to be mollycoddled.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
