"Alot of atheists claim that humanitarinism is a great alternative. But if there is no God then who cares about being kind to humanity.”
Um, humanity might, just off the top of my head.
We evolved as social animals. Being kind to our gene pool is a survival strategy. Don’t need fangs or claws if i can get 30 friends to help me beat the bear to death…
“It won't matter.”
Ah. Because if it’s not on your eternal record until the end of time,then it’s not worth ANYTHING. Like a glass of icewater on a hot day. No need to give you one, you’ll be in paradise sooner or later, right?
“We all fade to nothing, and we die. So who in the heck do I have to answer to.”
I answer to myself for most things.
Being nice to other people and not being a selfish dick is my desired self-image. Your mileage may vary.
“I can do whatever I want without fear of punishment.”
Might be a few people in prison with a slightly different attitude…
“ Hitler was ok..whose to say he was wrong.....”
Humans, thinking about the moral systems humans invented to make sure humans are protected from humans.
Your nihilismm doesn’t change my motivation.
“if there is no God, there is no wrong.”
Well, there’s no ABSOLUTE wrong,but that doesn’t mean we can’t invent smaller systems of right and wrong.
“ Sure, murder, stealing, fornication, homosexuality...anything goes without God.”
So what you’re saying isthat you’re not a moral person, you’re a psychopath who is on a leash.
“ Don't try to tell me that somehow "weather it hurts someone or not" is how we find right and wrong.”
I think it’s more about needless harm, myself.
“I'm telling you without God no one is going to stop anyone from all out murder and mayhem.”
We see school shootings all the damned time and God stops no one. So what benefit is there to believing in someone who will judge my killer much later…?
“If you think there is no God then "imagine" God just turning his back on the world for 5 seconds.”
Just watched Trump hold a wrestling tournament to line his own pocket at taxpayer expense. Seems very likely that there’s no God above him…
“I'll bet that death would come almost instantly.”
Thing is, as far as I can tell, we’ve been doing all this without any gods for the whole of human history.
