re: #60 Obdicut

Obdicut,

Nothing bugs me at all that atheist humans can be productive (I’ve never argued or said otherwise - in fact I’ve for the 4th time now lauded the largely atheistic Japan) What is revealing is that you 3 seem to be troubled that the idea of “morality” is only as sound and foundational as the peer group defining it. That is my argument. Yes, I know all 3 of you do not believe in an absolute “moral” view. That has exactly been my point. I can no more prove that Islam is correct then I can prove that most Germans thought the Nazi’s were good, or that Russians supported Stalin, or that the Chinese thought it was moral to support Mao.

Morality is defined by humans, hence it cannot be absolute, unless it is.
