Re: where do
Why must everything have a purpose? And the Universe may or may not have been created randomly, but if your logic is that nothing can be born out of “nothingness,” then the idea that a supreme being created the Universe doesnt in any way resolve the issue, as it just creates another paradox. Because if you believe that nothing can exist without something preceding it, then how to explain God? There is an inconsistency in that logic that most religious people lazily ignore.
And why must god exist for you to have a sense of right and wrong? Even animals have a sense of right and wrong, its ingrained within is.
Murder, unjustifiable is bad. Stealing is bad, rape is bad etc. I dont need anyone to tell me its that way, I already know it is because I can see that inflicts pain on the recipient. Humans can do anything they want, but society is there to define the limits. That is why we humans always create higher-arches, to impose a sense of order.
Good is simply that which is off greatest beneficence, while bad is that which does the greatest harm.
The belief that morality can only be ascertained through the existence of god doesn’t make much sense. We dont need an ultimate arbitrtor, we simply need two eyes to see with, a brain to think with, and a heart to feel with.
