Hmmm...what happened to "Judge not, lest ye be judged"?
Certainly, most of my friends are "thinking" atheists and they would not stoop to take full advantage (of others) no matter what the cost,
I said that. Most Atheists are inconsistent in that way. They cling to conventional morality, even though they deny its premises. And I'm glad they do.
But they're inconsistent. If consistency is a virtue, they manifestly don't have it. Atheism rationalizes only amorality: any moral precept taken beyond that is merely arbitrary and personal. They can't insist it's really "right."
Atheists do. They quote Nietzsche often. You may not, but you say you're not an Atheist.Y do you think i care wot some other tosser thinksImmanuel Can wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 5:48 pmNietsche saw that logic. And while even he lacked the courage to follow it through completely, he knew full well that's what logic required. It required us all to be "beyond good and evil."
And he is certainly presently regarded as a kind of Atheist "saint," if such things there be: he was the most famous declarer of the claim, "God is dead." And they love to quote him because he was smart. And he was...except for the fact that his fundamental premise was wrong, which makes everything he said based on it also wrong...but they don't realize that. They just like him.
