Can we please ban the next person that makes a stupid thread like this about atheism ? PLEASE !

 

How is this stupid? It's a serious question.

 

What do you mean "how".
How about: education - we are raised with the concept of right and wrong.
How about: morality has a genetic basis.

 

From the mouths of babes, / chuckle.

 

I think you should be banned from this forum for your constant trolling.

 

Sure they can, whatever they say is right, is right. If they say its wrong, its wrong.

Without objectivity, morality is subjective, and therefore, nonexistent.

 

Norse-this is rather silly of course they can A right or wrong judgment does not even require emotion, much less belief in God. It merely requires logic and rationalization.

 

However, I could rationalize that genocide and thievery are moral and righteous

What then?

 

logic and rationalization: Morality is a myth derived from the myth of free will which ascribes accountability to actions only for humans.

 

i do not think that morality is innate.

my children had no morals when born. they must be taught them.

they will lie, steal, and cause physical harm. the list goes on.

 

Ya, I kinda like having that freedom where I can decide things for myself. You should try it sometimes.

 

Agreed.

Supposition.

Morality is whatever the majority regard as being moral.

 

We know you're often wrong.

 

That's irrelevant, though. What's relevant is morality in general. If morality is subjective, why is murder wrong?

 

You don't think it's innate?
How much checking up have you done?
