I could care less about religion

Deism for the win.

@Obungus yeah for example look at this shit

abdullah sameer is the exmuslim

murtad retard

Holy fuck

Unholy fuck*

Dumbass

I’m an atheist but I still respect those with religious beliefs

shutup atheist

It’s the atheists who are obnoxious about the fact they are atheist who I dislike

Atheist can still be of good morality

In my opinion it has to do a lot with upbringing

A child not brought up correctly will be more likely to go into degeneracy

You can't claim that someone is good, bad, or that morality is even existent if you are an atheist.

And why does my identity as an atheist immediately make that the case

You can't live a moral life if there is no objective standard to compare it to

Your basically playing the same identity politics game the left does

You are of course able to have an opinion

but it's not incredibly valid seeing as there's no way for it to have an objective basis

You can still have an objective goal as an atheist. Mine being to live a good life and be a good person

a goal sure

just not an objective moral standard

and in this case a "good" life and being a "good" person are just based off of how you interpret good

I understand what you mean when you say there is no standard to compare to

In my case the standard is just stay in school, don’t do drugs, and get a job

That's a rather common set of goals

but it's hard to stick to unless you have a very string will

You can be a moral atheist

But an atheist cannot use atheistic reasoning for morality

^

a world with no religion, so basically mass degeneracy and trannyism, potentially a lack of societal and technological progress and falling into a downward spiral where the lifespan stops at 20 because people are nihilists and see who can cut themselves the deepest the fastst to be edgy

That ain't true nihilism, Nihilism seeks to replace religion with culture and the arts as a framework of morality.

I'm a religious man myself, I'm not an edgy atheist teen but Nihilism can make sense if you dont believe in a God as a moral compass.

Even Nietzsche saw the value of religious order despite his distaste of it.

I won’t lie when I say a lot of religion definitely promotes good values and gives people a sense of hope and community

I just have a distaste’s for cults that attempt to control every aspect of people’s lives

Ones like Jehovah’s witnesses

free will does not exist

@el pebble how do you know that?
