That's nice. How's it work for a believer though? If with atheism as you say, there can be no morality without god, then how can a believer justify their own? If the presumption is that he/it -does- exist, then if it were ever definitively proven to not exist, then what does that make anyone who had previously based their good natures and deeds on that existence?Anarchemitis said:God is a nice justification to be a helpful and happy person in my sights.
When the [what comes off to be] nihlisticism of Atheism kinda points out to me is that there is no purpose to life and that compounded with Richard Dawkin's famous Bus posters "There probably is no God so go ahead and enjoy life" or something to that effect really annoys me because if there is no God, why would we justify any enjoyment whatsoever if it doesn't matter?
Either both atheists, believers and humans in general are all subject to divinely inspired morality. Or they aren't.
Personally, I honestly don't know how to reconcile the idea with the fact that, there are quite clearly evil people in the world (as far as such are understood to be), which means, if morality is divinely inspired, then, it's more of a suggestion then something innate. If it were otherwise then free will is removed entirely from the matter and from what I've read, god doesn't work like that does he?
