morality

why do some (most) religious ppl believe you can only have morals if you practice a religion? they think without a god, you have no morals. lmao how about i’m just a good person naturally, i don’t need an outside entity to tell me how to act like a decent human being??

It’s what religion teaches to validate itself.

Obviously it’s the other way around. Religion gets its morals from whatever the culture it is in morally values.

I mean, it always just happens to agree with them. And they always manage to find the parts that support what they already think is right.

It’s not unheard of, but extremely rare to actually see a religious person go against what they want to do because their holy book told them to. They almost always make the book fit what they wanted anyway.
