I disagree with both your assessment of behavior in social animals and your concept of morality. Sure, if you define morality to be 'a list of...
I guess I would say that since there is no reason to suspect it wouldn't be, and since humans are clearly social animals, and since we observe moral...
Although it's certainly true that most of us get our morals from a combination of instinct and the culture we find ourselves within, and it's also...
If I could manage to have sex with millions of women and live like a king, why the hell would I not want to do it!!!?? (I'll pass on the wives...
I've mad no dogmatic claims, as much as you keep trying to put dogmatism in my mouth. I've been very careful to make it clear these are judgements,...
I can prove that certain conceptions of god are impossible. It's trivial to prove that an omnipotent god is impossible. It's also trivial to prove...
Certainly it is, when it's preceded by the words "suggested solution". You're diving into the deep end of the bullshit pool on this one....

I have no idea. The OP indicated a willingness to put in the effort but an unwillingness to take a big risk. I also know a welathy man who owns a...
so your point is what? that if people were truly religious god would prevent/stop unjust suffering? Why would a god give a shit about whether or...
The proverbial "no-one" is not meant to be taken literally. If someone occasionally does a background check and decides not to hire you to cut their...
I judge that he does nothing to prevent it or to stop it. It seems obvious there is unjust suffering. It seems obvious god doesn't swoop down and...
I know of several wealthy people who made their money with personal services such as lawn care and janitorial services. Choose something with low...
No. There are no beliefs that should get a free pass from critical examination, IMHO. Religious people tend to show deference to faith in...
Why does god not do something about unjust suffering? Why does god allow so much confusion about who he is such that there are literally thousands...
The unequivocable equivocation.
I don't know where this is coming from. How is answering your questions about why I don't believe in gods tantamount to calling people dumb? Do I...
