Morality is all in your mind.

The word and definition of morality were created by one species of animal on Earth. That doesn’t mean the concept of morality couldn’t exist without humans. We are limited by what we know to exist.

How else could it exist if not for humans?

 

[Truth Detector]

To the degree that I acknowledge that I don't know what I don't know, yes.

Why it is impossible to argue with clueless idiots.

 

[Truth Detector]

Morality has to do with the experiences and well-being of creatures who have consciousness, are able to experience joy, pain, suffering, etc.

Wrong.

 

[Truth Detector]

Not really. Acknowledging that I and my miniscule life on this floating rock, am basically nothing, in the grand scheme of things, seems pretty deep.

Very cynical, and wrong.

 

[Truth Detector]

I see. You have same beliefs as Christians but are not Christian.

...because he was taught his morality.

 

[Truth Detector]

Science tells us how expansive is the universe and how physically irrelevant we are in it.

Science has nothing to do with morality.

 

[Diogenes]

No. You're a brainwashed and evil idiot.

An atheist cannot tell societies that practice slavery, female genital mutilation, sati, ritual human sacrifice, cannibalism they are objectively wrong and immoral. From their point of view, human sacrifice, burning widows, female genital mutilation, cannibalism serve important cultural norms.

So, it is okay to throw Christians to the lions for entertainment purposes as well? Brainless.

One thing I agree with Hume on is that the genuine atheist needs to live out their atheism to it's logical conclusion, without surreptitiously borrowing religious doctrines of absolute right and wrong and objective morality.

I cannot imagine a more inane or asinine argument.

 

[Truth Detector]

Hmm. Interesting. You are wrong, of course. But it's nice you have a suggestion for how OTHER PEOPLE should live their lives.

Maybe if you listened to what atheists actually SAID you'd have a different view of atheism. I am so used to hearing the religious blast atheists and mischaracterize every single point about them but I am surprised that an avowed agnostic would do so.

What has atheism done for society? Name something.

Of course they can.

Morality is rational.

 

[Truth Detector]

It might be your opinion that female genital mutilation and cannibalism is wrong, and that's perfectly fine. But you cannot take your atheism and lecture the cultures in Africa and Papua New Guinea that they are objectively wrong and objectively immoral.

So, your argument is, if you have committed robbery, you cannot preach against it? That's patently stupid.

Can you actually claim that one is not taught that murder is wrong? Do you actually and foolishly believe that morality is inherent and we are born with it?

Apparently you do not know that one can be raised to believe that murder is perfectly okay.

I guess I feel more "safe" around people who don't have to be TOLD by God that Murder is wrong and can reason why murder would be wrong without someone having to "decree it".

But yes there is evidence that at least the core concept of an aversion to inter-group murder is instinctual in social animals.

 

[Truth Detector]

morality doesn't need religion.

Morality exists as a condition of religion. One can only make such absurd claims by believing that morality is somehow inherent in humans. But we know that is not the case.

 

[Daylight63]

Dumb.

Thank you for your insight. As per usual it is valueless.

 

[Truth Detector]

I recognize reality.

Wrong, your claims are wrapped in ignorance.

Why does atheism need to "do" anything?

 

[Truth Detector]

 

[Truth Detector]

Morality is rational.

Wrong; morality is taught.

Irony from a douchebag that defines valueless with every post.
