Well ISIS doesn't think they are doing wrong because they think it's all justified by their book and their god. What's the difference between their book and god and yours? Because you were born in the US and brainwashed from childhood that it was the correct ones?

Yep, good thing I don't choose to live with Nazis or ISIS.

If American society and Government shift to a point where child rape and castration isn't a punishable offense, I'll move.

What he is graphically saying is where does rule of law ultimately stem from?  I am not an atheist, so I can not think like an atheist.  



From a Christian point of view - we have 3 basic reasons that we obey laws.  1) we want to be good people-saints (people who love God and want to please him), 2) earthly consequence of being caught and 3) the eternal consequence.  If you remove our religion from the table, 1 & 3 go away, and honestly most criminals don't think 2) will happen to them.



At the end of the day - it can be hard for a Christian to understand why would an atheist obeying law if they did not think there would be consequences.  He is simply pointing out the consequence of what would if that came full circle.

And here's where your silly theory falls apart. I don't believe in god. No heaven, no hell, no easter bunny, ghosts or leprechauns. I treat people well because I posess something called empathy. It means that I can recognize when another person is in pain-either emotional or physical. It's part of the reason you cringe instinctively when you see someone on youtube take a bowling ball to the nuts. You empathize. Sociopaths and psychopaths don't posess empathy. They don't recognize pain (or joy) in other people. It has nothing to do with religion.

The whole atheist/moral relativism argument is idiotic and irrelevant. Someone who adheres to every tenet of Christianity but is a sociopath would be wholly unmoved by watching someone run over by a bus. They might mimic to fit in, but they wouldn't actually feel anything. Someone who is a particularly empathetic atheist who doesn't give a shit about the bible might be emotionally crushed by that same incident.

True. But one can not believe in a Supreme Being and still have moral standards based on logic and reason.

The moral standards in the Bible were written down by a man. Now these men said, and people believed, they came from God. Just because they said it and it's believed doesn't mean that these men could not have invented them via logic and reason.

Phil is under the impression that anyone who's not religious doesn't believe in moral standards or right and wrong. He's incorrect.

I believe your assumption is incorrect.  I believe Phil is under the impression that anyone that doesn't believe in moral standards or right and wrong is not religious.  Anyway, he's right about criminals having no conviction, and he's right about people who have no conviction having also a relative standard of judgment.

From logic and reason.

Protect the individual from society, government and individuals.

Protect society from the other two.

Protect government from the other two.

This.  He's also under the impression that only the religious man is a moral man.  Some people need/want religion, some don't.  IIRC he was quite the drunken philanderer before finding religion.  So, there's a man who needs religion.  Personally, I don't need a 2000 year old fairy tale to tell me not to cheat on my wife.

From a statistical point of view the vast majority of people involved in the Nazi and Stalinist system were neither psychopaths or sociopaths and were quite capable of feeling empathy.

That's an exceptionally ignorant and stupid thing to say.

People care about right and wrong because they want to live a life able to pursue liberty and happiness. Laws punishing what is deemed as wrong help insure this ability.  Sometimes men get things wrong.

If we based our country on your JC values, how did slavery slip by. That's a pretty big mistake. So, no, we base morality on logic and reason and when we find we've got something wrong, we fix it.

Quoted:
Well, that is a harsh but accurate view of moral relativism


But not necessarily Atheism. Shocking to some, but an Atheist can be moral.


The logical conclusion of that worldview is moral relativism. Atheists can certainly be moral, but they have to borrow from moral objectivism to do it. They like to pick and choose, ie homosexuality is ok but murder is always wrong, but they still have to have moral objectivism. They'll never see it that way though and will only say "I'm sorry you need a book to tell you to be moral" which is a dead-end taunt with no rational application to the argument.

So the only reason you do the right things instead of the wrong things is fear of repercussions in the afterlife? Seems like a dick move.

Nope. I'm not perfect.

I do get my sense of right and wrong from what God says because He makes the rules. His law is the law. 10 Commandments and all.


Now where do you get your sense of right and wrong?

You have to make it up right?

Morality is defined by society and government.

I wonder if it got him hard thinking about raping children in front of their father.

Bible thumpers gonna bible thump I guess.

so if society says that raping and murdering a man's wife and child in front of him prior to his castration is ok then that is moral as long as society says so.
