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?

It's not like morality is a new idea. Just because someone doesn't have a God to tell them what to do doesn't mean they revert to cavemen, and even cavemen had morals. Religions are made by people. Morals and values arise from observation of society -- when something is not going very well, people look at it and pinpoint what about it is not going well. Then they tell everyone to not do it. It's just like observing a bunch of children for a week and seeing them fall from the plastic house that they climb on. They keep getting hurt. Eventually you're going to realize that maybe climbing on the house isn't such a good idea, so you'll tell them not to, and they'll see that it is wrong. It's not a very complex concept...atheists get their morals the same way anybody else does.
Anyone can really do anything as long as it doesn't hurt a living thing (and don't get all technical like, "Isn't eating animals hurting them?", shut up). |
