Your opinion, nothing more.
Oh, It's a lot more. Who's the most sentient being in the world/universe, God or man?
If it's man and it's man, whose "logic" and "reason" you revere above all else, then MAN is your object of worship.....bottom line.
No, that would merely make you a psychopath.
By whose standards? By my own standards, I’m doing what’s right; and, per atheistic rules, my morality can be whatever I WANT IT TO BE.
Would you commence raping and stealing if you weren't told that your shouldn't by religious texts? I should surely hope you could conclude on your own that it would be detrimental to your continued well being to not do so.
By this flimsy standard, the only thing stopping me is getting caught. In other words, as long as I can get away with it, I can easily justify and commence to doing such. Funny how people have a tendency of doing that. Ask a certain adultery-commiting golfer.
Perhaps you should read the article I posted before you comment again. It clearly explains why people don't go around raping each other wives etc.
I've read. Problem is that, if I don't feel like abiding by the "Golden Rule", per atheistic rules, there's nothing requiring me to do so.
And, as I've explained to Necrosis, people CAN VERY EASILY justify doing bad things to people, without wanting those things to happen to themselves. No rapist wants to get corn-holed in prison; no thief wants his stuff stolen from him; and no murderer wants to get shot.
"Whatever you do, consider the consequences if your actions were a universal law."If there's a universal law, there's a universal LAWMAKER. And, I know who that Lawmaker is. Human nature is about gratifiying SELF, first and foremost. So, that considering how my actions affect someone else hold little water, in that sense.
Due to my sinful nature, I DON'T CARE how my actions adversely affect someone else, as long as I get mine. And, other humans, when push comes to shove, feel the same way.
That's why I must hold myself to a standard, higher than that of man
