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. |

Same for clarifying. Anyways, I can't stay. The bolded is the ultimate question I am trying to ask. I'd say that we are all relative, in a manner of speaking. Since you believe there is no god, you choose to follow another set of morals and standards. As goes with each of us. But, considering we as individuals are apart of a greater whole, we follow a certain set of rules. Society would not exist if we lived one hundred percent as individuals. I really think that's what it comes down to. Society. We all have our cultures, and to each culture, certain things are deemed right and wrong. And I also think that's where the conflict comes into play. Eachothers morals and bounderies. Okay, I really don't know what I'm talking about anymore. But, that's how I see it. |
