“Let me ask you something.”
Betcha it’s stupid.
“If you are an athiest why do you condemn Hitler.”
If you have to ask, you’re a sociopath.
“ The concept of good and evil is defined in the Torah, The Old Testament, The Septuagint.”
I think the most important thing to point out here is that we don’t believe in any gods. SO everything in yuor books of infallible morals is written by men. Men make morality as a tool to allow us to live in large groups and cooperate.
"If you do not believe in God why should we have love?”
AN illusion to get chicks to share resources with us.
"That is an oxymoron!”
Another word you don’t understand…
“ We should murder, rob, rape and pillage to the best of our ability.”
But our survival tool is cooperation. We’re evolved as social animals.
“ Remember now, we are animals.”
Glad you agree. But there are social species of animals.
“We evolved from frogs and lizards.”
The long way ‘round, though.
“What is the Law of the Jungle? Survival of the fittest.”
Survival of the fittest GENE pool. We use tools, we use teams, we use packs.
“That means if I want something I take it!...”
Ever see a young wolf try to take food outside of the established pecking order?
“The Romans had the right idea, if your an athiest.”
The Romans that worshioped a whole pantheon of gods?
“To make us happy on earth, man wants power, glory, worship, wealth. Anybody that stands in our way, throw them in the gas chamber, cut their heads off, torture them, why don't we...”
I wish you knew as much as you think you do about humans. Or evolution. Or morality.
“ For married athiests, let me ask you this.”
Can i stop you?
“If I like your wife, I can just take her.”
Except that we promised ourselves to each other. Maybe an oath just riles you up, but I try to keep mine.Not because i think an invisble skybeast is going to reward or punish me, but because I value my commmittments.
“If you stand in my way, I can just strike you down.”
Like i said, we invented morality so that we can live together in large groups. Your behavior would not be tolerated for that exact reason.
“Remember this, I am an evolved animal and I have no one to answer to.”
Well, no one MAGFICAL to answer to. There are Cops, Judges, my dad, my grandmother, my self-image, my boss, my kids, my wife. That ‘social animals’ thing just keeps coming back at us, huh?
“Can you comprehend that concept?”
A lot better than you, evidently.
"With that concept, you can boil and eat your parents when you get old and strong enough.”
And you may have noticed, if we did live that way, God would allow us and do fuck-all to stop us. And yet, we don’t.
