Well you have to admit life in this universe is a freak accident. There is nothing special and you like everybody else is just a statistic. Which means there really is no basis for morality or objectivity. Self interest should prevail in every instance.
>>
Nonsensical question; objective morality cannot exist without religion, so to ask "Why be moral without religion?" doesn't make sense.

If I firmly believe there is no God, and I stand to gain from killing/stealing/raping/whatever, and am in a situation where there is no realistic chance of legal retribution against me, it's illogical NOT to do those things.

Some of them are, yes.

By the way, many of the most immoral Muslims are also some of the most devout/religious. God doesn't have a monopoly on doing what's right. In fact, often times god has no interest in morality in the first place.

it could be like that here depending on the level of righteousness which can degrade over time

Romans 2:14-15
For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

Religion is a form of tribalism and, historically, tribalism has been at the root of all societal conflict.

Atheism has its roots in secular humanism, the belief that all human life has equal value. Therefore morality for an atheist involves respecting the value of the individual and tends to reject simple "us" versus "them" modalities.

I'm arguing for objective morality, not subjective. Not every religion's morality is right or valid, if God exists. That's the point; morality doesn't care how you feel about it or where you grew up. Right is right and wrong is wrong, if God exists. What some heretical religion says is moral has no bearing on what is actually moral.

First of all, "third world country" is outdated cold war terminology that has no place in a discussion of the modern world.

Second of all, many of the least developed countries are also some of the most highly religious, and there tends to be more than enough irrationality and religious violence to go around as a result. Your narrative of a noble religious "first world" contrasted with a chaotic non-religious "third world" is just that - A false narrative, not based in reality.

There is no objective morality. There are agreed-upon rules of conduct from one society/culture to another based on how the majority and/or the ruling class feels about morality, but there is no overarching universal morality under which everyone should live. Even if there was, it would have nothing to do with god.
>>
>>79293680
True, but if you're pinpointing mechanism of empathy as the foundation of ethics it promotes conflict and misunderstanding between those who experience different levels of empathy, and react to it differently. Also it does nothing to assimilate into society those who are empathy-deficient. These individuals would be persecuted and much more likely to act in violence in order to survive and secure basic needs.

tribalism is an essential aspect of the human mind though. identity is based both on a sense of familiarity and opposition to someone else.

we all live in a "tribe", we all identify in something and without it we're usually lost and depressed.

morality and education are both hardwired in our brains and learned from our parents/society when we grow up. it's all about language, memes and lessons.

you don't need god to explain why you feel that something is right or wrong

you can't even ignore this feeling and act like a reckless cunt without repercussions on your mind either

morality and spirituality and magic (as a science of language) are all part of the greatest mystery that is humankind

That said, stupid people do actually need religion. I've spent some time thinking on this decided that the intelligent will always need to use religion to keep the dumbasses from becoming complete animals.

Yes, humans are vastly different from each other.

>Then what did you mean when you said some people are moral, you idiot?
Morality is primarily concerned with the distinction between right and wrong. Therefore most people are moral whether you want to admit it or not. They may do some things that you view as being "wrong", but that doesn't make their morality inherently incorrect. On the other hand, even people who do things that you consider "wrong" most certainly agree with you on other matters of morality, meaning that even disagreements on the issue do not automatically exclude two people from considering each other moral. In other words, it's not fucking black-and-white like you idiots seem to think it is.

If morals come from god, morality is arbitrary. Moral propositions have no value because moral statements are merely propositional. I.e. if god says torturing babies is morally right, then it is. If god wouldn't say that, or god didn't say that, because he knows torturing babies is wrong, then there is some preceding standard of morality that determines what god says is right or wrong. In the latter case, you have to concede god isn't necessary for morality. In the former case, moral propositions are no different from random propositions, and so aren't what most people mean when they talk about morality.

That is not an argument. First of all, it could happen in a religious community, too. Religion isn't immune to deviant behavior. Second of all, one person breaking the consensus does not mean that there is "no consensus anymore." It means deviation from the norm has occurred, and will be punished according to the norms of the society it took place in.

it has to actually BE immoral for it to mean anything

Nonsensical logic there. We don't know why God's goodness is the way that it is. Perhaps he has a good reason to design torturing babies as wrong.

Perhaps he has a good reason to design torturing babies as right. But at the end this is all just mental masturbation, we can understand why torturing babies is wrong and it is because it fucks up with our chances of survival.

Like it or not, that's all that matters, for the individuals and consequently for the set of behaviors we refer to as morality.

then that reason would be what we would call morality, which I mention a few sentences later. If it's good just because god says so, it's arbitrary.

No, read pre-humanist revoltion European law, no different than what the Arabs do today.Muslims never had one, they still get their morals from a primitive book, they still live in the middle ages, that is why they are such savages.

>Before the 20th century, adultery was often punished harshly. In Scandinavia, in the 17th century, adultery and bigamy were subject to the death penalty, although few people were actually executed.[126] Examples of women who have been executed for adultery in Medieval and Early Modern Europe include Maria of Brabant, Duchess of Bavaria (in 1256), Agnese Visconti (in 1391), Beatrice Lascaris di Tenda (in 1418), Anne Boleyn (in 1536), and Catherine Howard (in 1542). The enforcement of adultery laws varied by jurisdiction. In England, the last execution for adultery is believed to have taken place in 1654, when a woman named Susan Bounty was hanged.[127]
White people made Christ their bitch.

>For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

You can't be moral if you're dead, bro.

Therefore, the survival of humanity is important because it's a precondition for the survival of morality itself.

And that from a purely abstract perspective, as in morality removed from it's biological context. In reality, morals are nothing but interpretations of facts about human behavior, there is no "importance" independent from what allows the subject of these interpretations of phenomena to exist.

What are you talking about? These are laws. It is legal authorities that are supposed to kill disobediant children, homosexuals, and so on, with proper due process. No parent should ever be asked to kill their own child. That isn't what the book is saying.

You are attempting to derive objective morals, meaning morals that are true whether we exist or not, just as the way 2+4 is true whether or not people believe in it.

In which case, it was clearly true that we should all die, would be true even after we stop existing.
>>
>>79300491
This is morality based on utilitarianism, which is subjective morality, sure you don't benefit from getting your shit stolen but the criminal does and vice versa.

So can we say that what the criminal did was less utilitarian?
can we therefore say that it was less moral?

Unless we hold morality to some standard we don't get anywhere, so let's say that you shouldn't steal because it's antithetical to a prosperous society/civilization
then 'society' takes the place of god in this regard and we come full circle.

When you consider doing something naughty and decide against it your first thought isn't "better not, God might get mad". When you see someone else do a bad thing your reaction isn't "Hey buddy you're making God testy!" Next time you find yourself in one of these situations try to remember what it is that really keeps you a moral person.
>>
>>79301310
I'm just working with your argument. There's no such a thing as morals that are true whether we exist or not, because morals are a product of human interactions.

Unless we're talking about aspects of natural selection when we say objective morality. Then again, it wouldn't be accurate to call them morals as much as they are imperatives of evolution.

The book literally says that, Jesus was referencing Exodus

>When you consider doing something naughty and decide against it your first thought isn't "better not, God might get mad".
yeah it is.
if there's no possibility of getting caught, and 'something naughty' will benefit me, then there's no reason not to do it.
but God is always watching and expects better of me.

it's more "better not, this is immoral" than "better not, god might get mad" though, but that basically means the exact same thing in my worldview.
>>
>>79301644
>When you consider doing something naughty and decide against it your first thought isn't "better not, God might get mad".

But you will come across situations where self interest conflicts with what you think is good.

If good and evil are subjective evolutionary biproducts, societal constructs or whatever, it becomes very easy to play the Nietchze superman in those situations, to serve yourself, by adjusting your logical views, which eventually changes your emotional reactions.

If good and evil are solid objective facts, then you will probably want to pursue good for the sake of good. But it is mighty to hard to see morality as objective without God existing.

So belief in God ends up impacting how we act.

Yes, but my whole point is that these are laws for the legal authorities to enact, as is entirely obvious from the context, if you would read the chapter instead of a single line.

The first line of Exodus 21 in KJV writes "Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them". In modern translations, "judgements" refers to "laws".

Exodus 21 provides legal rules to the nation of Isreal. Enforcement of these rules comes from the authorities.

Christian morality is collectivist cancer.

William Gayley Simpson's Which Way Western Man?,

"The other apostates I have mentioned, and many that are now forgotten, together with almost all of the anti-Christians of recent centuries, exemplify the operation of what may be called the law of cultural residues. In all civilized societies, when a long-established and generally accepted belief is found to be incredible, good minds abandon it, but they commonly retain derivative beliefs that were originally deduced from the creed they have rejected and logically must depend on it. Thus it happened that modern enemies of Christianity rejected the mythology, but uncritically retained faith in the social and ethical superstitions derived from it — a faith which they oddly call rational but hold with a religious fervor."

"They laugh at the silly story about Adam and his spare rib, but they continue to believe in a "human race" descended from a single pair of ancestors and hence in a "brotherhood of man." They speak of "all mankind," giving to the term an unctuous and mystic meaning with which they do not invest corresponding terms, such as "all marsupials" or "all ungulates." They prate about the "rights of man," although a moment's thought should suffice to show that, in the absence of a decree from a supernatural monarch, there can be no rights other than those which the citizens of a stable and homogeneous society have, by covenant or established custom, bestowed on themselves; and that while the citizens may show kindness to aliens, slaves, and dogs, such beings obviously can have no rights."
>>
>>79291287
>>79303858
"They do not believe that one-third of a god became incarnate in the most squalid region on earth to associate with illiterate peasants, harangue the rabble of a barbarian race, and magically exalt the ignorant and uncouth to "make folly of the wisdom of this world," so that "the last shall be first" — that they do not believe, but they cling to the morbid hatred of superiority that makes Christians dote on whatever is lowly, inferior, irrational, debased, deformed, and degenerate."

"They gabble about the 'sanctity of human life' — especially the vilest forms of it — without reflecting that it takes a god creator to make something sacred. And they frantically agitate for a universal "equality" that can be attained only by reducing all human beings to the level of the lowest, evidently unaware that they are merely echoing the Christians' oft-expressed yearning to become sheep (the most stupid of all mammals) herded by a good shepherd, which is implicit in all the tales of the New Testament, although most bluntly expressed in another gospel, which reports Jesus as promising that after he has tortured and butchered the more civilized populations of the earth, there will be a Resurrection, and his ovine pets will pop out of their graves, all of the same age, all of the same sex, all of the same stature, and all having indistinguishable features, so that they will be as identical as the bees in a swarm."

"Although the "Liberal" and Marxist cults have doctrinal differences as great as those that separate Lutherans from Baptists, they are basically the same superstition, and whether or not we should call them religions depends on whether we restrict the word to belief in supernatural persons or extend it to include all forms of blind faith based on emotional excitement instead of observed facts and reason. When those "atheistic" cults scream out their hatred of "Fascists" and "Nazis," they obviously must believe that those wicked persons are possessed of the Devil and should therefore be converted or exterminated to promote holiness and love. And when they see "racists," who impiously substitute fact and reason for unthinking faith in approved fairy stories, their lust to extirpate evil is as great as that of the Christian mob that dragged the fair and too intelligent Hypatia from her carriage and lovingly used oyster shells to scrape the flesh from her bones while she was still alive."

"With very few exceptions, the anti-Christians, no doubt unwittingly, retained in their minds a large part of Christian doctrine, and they even revived the most poisonous elements of the primitive Bolshevism of Antiquity, which had been attenuated or held in abeyance by the established churches in the great days of Christendom. And today, professed atheists do not think it odd that, on all social questions, they are in substantial agreement with the howling dervishes and evangelical shamans who, subsidized with lavish publicity by the Organized Jewry who control the boob-tubes and other means of communication, greedily participate in the current drive to reduce Americans to total imbecility with every kind of irrational hoax."
