re: #439 Cato the Elder
If god is dead, all is permitted. If god never existed, that doesn’t hold true. Nothing has changed. You’d have to alter the phrase to be “If not enough people believe in God, regardless of whether he’s a fiction, then all is permitted”. Which is still not true.
Morality comes from the same place everything else in human culture does, including religion. Us.
We rule and suck. We suck at ruling.
