Debate Rules
Here are the general forum rules that you must follow before you start any debate topics. Please make sure you've read and followed all directions.
- Topics are not to bash others.
- Immature behaviors/comments will not be tolerated.
- Please remember, not everyone thinks like you. People have different ways of thinking and different perspectives. Let's respect each other's thoughts and responses.
- PLEASE, search before making new topics--especially popular topics like "God" and "Abortion" etc.
- PLEASE, read through the thread or at least a couple pages before posting. We have to maintain a certain level of maturity in here.

Alright, this is sort of in response to Podo's (monster's) "feeble attempt" thread.
I'm an atheist. I don't believe in the existence of any god whatsoever. Any questions?

Again no. I am saying that since we have no Creator, there are no absolutes, correct? What is right for me is right for me right? Ect,, for you. You may have the principles in your life that you follow like, don't steal, cheat, or kill and be nice, and those are the standards you follow, but that may not be the case for me. I may have the principles in my life that I follow like, I steal and cheat and am mean to everyone, but I think that you shouldn't murder (just an example). The actual question: What "law" say what is right and wrong and how do you decide? Simply; wouldn't it be okay to steal, cheat, lie, whatever as long as you live to your morals (In no way am I trying to say that atheists don't have morals, I am simply asking where you get yours from and how you know they are right) Sorry if I offended anyone, I didn't intend to do so. Same for clarifying. Anyways, I can't stay. The bolded is the ultimate question I am trying to ask. |
