Re: Question Back At Ya
No, I don't think that, but that is because I am not one that thinks morality is just another genetic accident that is a remnant from some animals that proceeded us.
Judging by this, and subsequent postings of yours, it seems as though you have fallen victim to believing what you assume an atheist is, rather than actually learning. You would do well to actually learn a thing or two about why people think differently than you do before you make numerous posts based on assumptions.
As I said in different post (I believe directed to you): you should learn the batting order of the opposing team before selecting your closing pitcher.

Just as i suspected. This thread is nothing more than you trying to prove something to yourself. You have failed. Miserably. You should try to learn the opposition's position before you attack it (that's 3 times I've told you that. See a pattern yet?).

It's been laid out for you. Just because you don't want to understand it doesn't make it not so.
Not too impressed so far other than that.
Yet the world keeps spinning regardless of your ignorance.
So now I am trying to get a plausible explanation for how these 'emotions" could have such a survival advantage over raw brutishness, over good looks, over cunning trickery, over a better coat of fur, over bigger pectoral muscles to kick other sexual competitors asses, and a whole host of other traits to select for.
There's this thing called society. We kind of need it for survival. The traits you've mentioned above don't exactly benefit society, now do they?
Of course I am fully aware that all your side has to offer on this front are some entertaining allegory...
Please show us all where there is any allegory that has been supplied to you on "our" behalf.
but I just wanted to hear what some of you might come up with.
The information is there, you just refuse to see it.
