I think the question is is worded a little incorrectly for the proposed bit of philosphical discussion. I think it should be worded along the lines of "How can one establish a foundation of moral reasons and declare that there is no God." Because by decaring there is no God, you are surmising that there is not possibility of a being that may be greater than yourself. Thus, no prominant reason to be humble or merciful.

i'm pretty sure that was the intended question.

but idon't really care, read threads before replying

I don't understant: Am I supposed to read threads before replying, or are you saying you don't read threads before replying? Because if it is the former, I'm curious as to what thread I missed.

ammy · 01-30-2005, 02:28 AM

i'm implying that you did not read this thread before replying. because we already determined that this thread is moot.

To tell you the truth, I just didn't understand what your earlier reply was saying (the one making the thread...shit...what's that word? Means dead...starts with a d...)

Yes there is reason to be humble or merciful: out of respect for your fucking fellow man. Which is why we should have morals in the first place. Stampede is being a contrarian for the sake of it.

I wasn't making a stance on the issue. I was merely making better grounds for the argument, or rather the ground that is usually made for the argument.

Or out of respect for yourself, maybe.

If God can be a moral force so can a human being.
