Where Oh Where Could They Come From?
Knowing thought is not the forte of the devoutly religious, this one always turns the knife for me:
“But if you don’t believe in God, where do you get your morals from?!”
There’s a very succinct answer for this: MY FUCKING PARENTS. Same place the religious get their morals from. You know what fucks people up? BAD PARENTING, not a lack of religion.
I shudder to think that being a good person means nothing if you’re not scared into it. Is your invisible friend REALLY all thats keeping you from stabbing random people for the hedonistic glee of it all? Or are you willing to admit that altruism may be part of our genetic makeup?
