Re: atheistic morality
[ QUOTE ]
Why do anything to help others? Why not a philosophy that advocates killing as many possible, and bringing as much pain as possible to all?

If you found out tomorrow that no gods existed, would you suddenly start pushing old ladies over instead of helping them across streets?
Many theists say they would, but they are not giving themselves enough credit.
The fact is, people like being nice to each other. Being a real bastard is, for most people, much less pleasing.
