In anycase from boots definition morals would work without god

2018-06-27 01:40:03 UTC  

What if there are no consequences? What if jail doesn't strike fear? I've probably made a thousand arrests. The vast majority were repeat offenders.

2018-06-27 01:40:05 UTC  

No, they wouldn't.

2018-06-27 01:40:11 UTC  

They wouldn't be morals anymore.

2018-06-27 01:40:14 UTC  

They would be laws.

2018-06-27 01:40:22 UTC  

If jail doesnt strike fear how does god?

2018-06-27 01:40:39 UTC  

Fear of society shunning you for doing wrong.

2018-06-27 01:40:51 UTC  

God sends you to Hell. Forever.

2018-06-27 01:41:02 UTC  

Laws are different from codes and statues. B

2018-06-27 01:41:02 UTC  

Of course, there will always be excepts, but that's why we call them excepts.

2018-06-27 01:41:15 UTC  

But they dont care about god or hell

2018-06-27 01:41:22 UTC  

Again, excepts.

2018-06-27 01:41:36 UTC  

Just like people dont care about laws sometimes

2018-06-27 01:41:40 UTC  

"Hey, look, there's a tall woman! Your statement is false!" - Non-arguments.

2018-06-27 01:41:50 UTC  

And those people are exceptions.

2018-06-27 01:42:08 UTC  

You're right, because they don't believe in a god.

2018-06-27 01:42:12 UTC  

So religion works except when it doesnt...

2018-06-27 01:42:26 UTC  

And laws work except when it doesn't.

2018-06-27 01:42:32 UTC  

Well not in the traditional sense. Everyone believes in a god. But for an atheist, that god is himself.

2018-06-27 01:42:57 UTC  

you may not fear Hell in your normal life, but if you actually believe in Hell or think there is a chance, and you think you could go there, you will fear it and you will have an uncomfortable death

2018-06-27 01:43:01 UTC  

The point being laws apply even if you dont believe them

2018-06-27 01:43:32 UTC  

And Laws have a much easier habit of resulting in tyranny.

2018-06-27 01:43:35 UTC  

Morals do not.

2018-06-27 01:44:03 UTC  

Religion resulted in tyranny when it was the law

2018-06-27 01:44:19 UTC  

Morals arent religion

2018-06-27 01:44:43 UTC  

Depending on the religion yes

2018-06-27 01:44:59 UTC  

You can have morals without religion

2018-06-27 01:45:06 UTC  

Tell me what right a man has to decide what is moral

2018-06-27 01:45:10 UTC  

Not so much the other way

2018-06-27 01:45:18 UTC  

However, religion is the best entity of actually getting people to agree with your morality.

2018-06-27 01:45:49 UTC  

Also, religion was the result of the need for explanations and was the result of society agreeing on common principles and figures.

2018-06-27 01:45:51 UTC  

Man can weigh the good and make decisions based on that

2018-06-27 01:46:02 UTC  

Ehzek, define "good."

2018-06-27 01:46:21 UTC  

With the highest morality comming from what is best for you and others

2018-06-27 01:46:34 UTC  

Who decides what is best?

2018-06-27 01:46:57 UTC  

Alright, what is the best for you and others?

2018-06-27 01:47:16 UTC  

In fact, tell me what can be considered "good" in an objective manner?

2018-06-27 01:47:19 UTC  

What is "best" for a poor family is to slaughter a rich family and take everything from them. As has happened in every godless communist revolution

2018-06-27 01:47:23 UTC  

When you treat others as yourself and wouldnt do something to others that you wouldnt want done to you

2018-06-27 01:47:53 UTC  

Except that slaughter is bad because slaughtering the poor family would be bad for the poor family

2018-06-27 01:47:58 UTC  

What if I deem it better to take your things so I can "help" others?
