Does righteousness mean anything to an atheist?

That is a bit how God seperates mankind in his mind. The righteouss and the unrighteouss.

Let's say you say you are atheist, and you value righteousness very much. You even love it and are righteouss yourself, then why would you deny the existence of your master?

What's your point? Do you mean some people evolved into poo and some didn't?

I suspect it depends on what you mean by "righteous."

What do you mean by "righteous," little theist? Thinking

Hindus and Buddhists have a concept called dharma, which I believe is basically the same as righteousness, so, if you value righteousness, why do you deny Krishna or Buddha?

More wondering yours. If the word righteous doesn't have a religious meaning then why do you think it matters what an atheist thinks of being righteous?

Yeah.....
That answer has nothing to do with the question asked.
But I have a feeling you already knew that, and decided to type that out anyway. Smile

I'm going out on a limb here but I'm guessing you were brainwashed from an early age to believe in the Christian god but, since nobody who taught you about Christianity knew me, they were unable to get you to worship me instead.

Joe Pesci might be a better person to worship than me though, he knows how to get things done.
