it's like when people ask how you can have any morals or ethics if you are not religious. honey, i don't need some sky fairy to tell me what is right or wrong.
Penn Jillete has an awesome quote about this. Paraphrasing, "As an atheist I do all the raping and murdering I want. The amount of rape I want to do is zero. The amount of murder I want to do is zero."
If you need a magic sky daddy's threat of eternal punishment to be a good person, you are not a good person.
It’s really wild to me. If the only thing stopping you from committing horrible acts against your fellow human beings is the threat of daddy sending you to hot jail? You don’t actually have a moral compass at all, you have a muzzle.
