There is an entire branch of Philosophy called Ethics that gives us better answers to these questions and a better framework for grappling with them then religion ever has. It is quite arrogant to assume that atheists have no answers at all to these questions.
- friedman23 5y agoAh yeah, good argument, a field of study exists. Given you are a well educated atheist you can explain the underpinnings of your morality right?
- andrepd 5y agoYes. A set of ab initio values and the golden rule as a base, and societal consensus to work out the finer details.
- friedman23 5y agoYeah, I wasn't asking what your beliefs were. I was asking why your beliefs are the "true" beliefs.
