Default Re: A problem with some religous views. Conclusion

[ QUOTE ]

Here is where I can see running into problems. What is morally right or wrong is not an agreed upon thing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Go to any law library near you. All those books you see are filled with agreed upon moral codes. They usually come from elected reps., not God.

[ QUOTE ]
I have my own moral compass and it comes from my religion, philosophies I have read, parents, teachers, etc.

[/ QUOTE ]

Super. But you dont necassarily need those things for a moral system and you still better make sure you follow your societies moral system lest you end up in jail.

[ QUOTE ]
Now, if I suddenly chose to be atheist, I can if, I wanted to, throw all right and wrong out the window.

[/ QUOTE ]

Really? Where would you be allowed to live?

[ QUOTE ]
I am saying if I chose to become atheist, I can throw all my morals out the window and I think I can defend my new amoral position rationally.

[/ QUOTE ]

Humor us and assume your an athiest with your new found amorality. Please defend it rationally.
