@ma_smells@0FedKin@PureRedLotus@DenimsTV "Atheistic morality" just says I don't need a god or fear of divine retribution to develop a moral compass. There is no standard among atheists. Stalin and Pol Pot had very different moral compasses compared to Penn and Teller or Bertrand Russell.
@ma_smells@0FedKin@PureRedLotus@DenimsTV I don't commit necrophilia not because I think it's immoral but because it's gross. I don't think eating poop is immoral but I'm not going to do that either.
"Well, what makes it gross?"
Maybe a biological disgust of corpses and rot? 100 other reasons? Don't need God for that.
@nekrohtix@HairyJohns6652@Elvathelion@seamus_coughlin Rome only had sacrifices at times of incredible strife, like on an existential level. An example is after Hannibal annihilated their armies and was literally at their gates. Otherwise, no.
@nekrohtix@HairyJohns6652@Elvathelion@seamus_coughlin Buddy, human sacrifice was extremely rare in ancient Rome well before Christianity came along. Same with Greece.
All civilizations then and now rape, especially during wartime. Christian nations included.
The Catholic Church is famous for its perversions, wealth, and power.
@Iheartbiggovt@joshwin41@memeticsisyphus Haven't seen your survey but I would assume that's why most people are *not Christian* (or not active in a religion), versus them not believing in any particular deity. It's totally fair to be against organized religion for that reason, imo
@Gibble435090@memeticsisyphus To be fair, there are a lot of "reddit atheists" who are just as religious about being nonreligious. Both sides are exhausting and retarded.
