Atheism is dangerous. Nihilism is even more dangerous.

Re: nihilists have purposes too
(he must meet some pretty odd women, but anyway). That's one of the advantages of being a nihilist.

Re: Nihilism is not at all the topic theme here!
Why does it seem like you try to turn everything into a nihilism topic. Ha, ha, ha.

Please, point me to the moral code of an atheist. I'm not a believer and I have a code: "Do what feels honorable; do not do what feels dishonorable." (I don't claim to live up to this code very well, but that's the code).

Re: prime example
Awesome, thats great, and honest. But it is your personal code, and subject to what you think is honorable That's right. It's based purely on personal feelings. There's nothing else to base it on.
Would you kill someone who killed one of your loved ones? Whether I would or not I don't know. Probably not. But I would certainly want to.

Re: prime example
Thank you for being honest. No thanks necessary. That's part of my code. Edited by robinrohan, : No reason given.

Re: I believe
Penn Gilette seems intelligent, happy, compassionate, and loving. I don't know who Penn Gilette is, but being happy and loving and so forth has got nothing to do with either morality or purpose.
"Your friends, if they can, may bury you with some distinction, and set up a monument, to let posterity see that your dust lies under such a stone; and when that is done, all is done. Your place is filled up by another, the world is just in the same state it was, you are blotted out of its sight, and as much forgotten by the world as if you had never belonged to it."--William Law

Re: I believe
To love others and feel compassion for them are part of many moral codes. It is also part of many people's chosen purpose. Well, of course one can make up any code or purpose that one wants to.

Re: I believe
Like a moral code that involves killing people who you think are immoral for example? Sure, why not? One code is as valid as another, logically speaking.

Re: Moral standards
Yeah, I was talking about the Soviet Union once, and somebody said that the Soviet Union was actually religious. Would you disagree?

Re: Moral standards
If I am correctly reading the headline article in tomorrow's Chicago Tribune, maybe Ireland comes close. (The article suggests that they are abandoning catholicism in droves). Well, we have to decide what is meant by an "atheist civilization." Sometimes I think the USA is one too. If they would only admit it.

Re: Moral standards
If one calls every form of adulation a religion, then the term religion means just adulation, not worship of a supreme being. I think we should limit the definition myself. If we do, the Soviet Union and China would be non-religious. Not sure about Ireland, however.
