Atheist material. |
|
overall, pretty good stuff. There are a couple of points that i would watch out for. |
|
Thanks. Obviously, when a major world religion rolls around, even atheists get some morals rubbed off on em. It's only natural. |

Isn't that just an old post of yours, I remember reading most of that word for word. Are you seriously 37!? Well I don't believe atheists don't have morals, not even saying they have worse morals, they are only a personal thing. But think about this, what is it that tells us these things are wrong? I mean how do you know, things you think are morally wrong could be right, so you think everyone is just born naturally into believing all the basic moral codes? |

Sigh. Not going to explain this again. And it is an old post, put I'm posting orginals. Why wouldn't we? Morals are an idea which you can choose to use. I suppose everyone is born not thinking to murder, but they can choose not to follow them. My point is that morals can change. |

If you'd read any of the research done with feral children then you wouldn't be able to make a statement like that. Through observation we have learned that people are probably not born ingrained with innate social codes. The structure of the society you are born in to dictates a good portion of what you see as reality during your early developmental stage. |

My biggest issue with what you have is on the one hand you point to the fact that morals are self evident and universal and on the other hand you say morals change. Well which is it? I understand that If you are from a certain place and grew up learning a certain set of beliefs, yes it seems obvious which things are wrong and which are right. That doesn't make those morals universal, however. The books are net necessarily for the people who believe those things to be self evident, but to convince those who don't. |
