Atheism; the next step

[Cerrone]

Lumping them all together makes your expectations unfair.

I don't think so, generally speaking more is achieved when people work together for a common goal than when people act independently.

You're saying that people should think about how their actions affect society. Countless sick kids live on government aid in the U.S. It sure would help our economy if they weren't so selfish.

You've really come up with too general of a solution.

Excuse me for offering solutions to a fucked up world. Maybe we should be like you instead and just do nothing and let world keep sinking.

Your solution, again, is too general. It's not a solution at all. You could stop assuming things about people. It might help your perspective.

Generalisation or not, my solution -for people to consider their actions and take responsibility- can only make things better for a society or even an individual that applied it. I can't think of instance where it wouldn't; when people do begin to take into account the consequences of their actions, taking responsibility and ensuring that they don't let themselves fall victim to short term gains in exchange for a long term loss -whether it be theirs or other peoples, directly or indirectly- I would estimate that people would become more accepting of those who were decent people, and more willing to challenge those who were'nt. In other words, they'd become better people. They'd also avoid financial irresponsibility and perhaps it would eventually sow the seeds for an end to rampant consumerism and it might even help the economy in the long term. Ok, so thats a bold statement admittedly, but who knows where the world could be in a few decades if people took themselves into account?

The solution I proposed is full of merit and offers solutions to the problems everybody encounters in daily life, and it's worth taking into consideration for application.


You mentioned before about how I measured others by my yardstick, but if my yardstick is carved out of social harmony, then that would be the best yardstick by which to judge anybody, no? We all judge people whether we like to admit it or not.
