Randy, I suggest you keep this on-topic. You already have a thread for this discussion. Let's talk about your utter disingenuity.
Actually, I have a question for you: we've been discussing why atheists should be good, but what's your motivation? Obviously, you don't hold any stock in honesty, so... where's the line?
Becca-
Sheesh. Despite your assertions (both of them, btw), I was not trying to change the subject. Yesterday, an opportunity presented itself, and I took advantage of it.
In the course of this thread, Julia or Jenny referred me to some articles (which I have printed out for review) and some other folks have asked about the definitions of words such as "good", "truth" and "objective morality", etc. I could plow ahead, or I could stop to do some reading based upon this feedback. I choose the latter.
However, as I have continued to monitor this thread, it seems that there are divergent opinions among long-time atheist forum members on the question of "Why Be Good?".
So you don't really need me involved at this point to maintain a great discussion, do you?
