The fees you must pay here are non-monetary But good luck paying them
Quote:Anyway, I was "raised" to believe in some kind of god, which means my parents believe in god and they expected me to as well. I stopped believing in a deity when I was about ten, and six years later here I type. They know I'm an atheist, without much support, but at least I got them to renounce the bible after quoting some of god's "kindness". My High School is almost all religious, making my chances of actually finding a girlfriend almost zero. It's depressing; maybe I shouldn't have been so outspoken...
Girlfriends are overrated if they wouldn't get to know you for the sole reason of being deviant to the norm 0.o Boyfriends too. And if it really went there: so are angry robotic ninja spider monkeys.

(1) Moral behaviour is rational.
(2) Morality behaviour is only rational if justice will be done.
(3) Justice will only be done if God exists.
Well I'm not often accused of being rational... I wonder what that says about my morals ^_^
Wait... this makes no sense. Moral behavior is rational... and then a qualifier? I take it 1 can be just taken out then? As in 1 by itself could make sense... and 2 by itself... but together? That creates a kind of dissonance.
3 goes best with 2 I vote remove 1, then say it again
Is it possible that 'Kant' wrote this in a different language? What was he again... latin? Cyrillic?
