From where atheists take their mortality?

Question

strateguy632 · Accepted Answer

Some take morality from christian teaching "treat others the way you want to get treated" Matthew 7:12, others ARE immoral promoting harm to human fetus and other stuff saying "nobody can tell me not to do it"... ONLY stealing and killing is forbidden for them but what if they need clothing for their family... or they are greedy... plenty of crime!

If you were a fetus you would not want to get sucked out... so do not do to others.

They make up "moral p. c. rules" fromthemir mind, that "forbid" harmless unimportant stuff while being immoral in science to fool people and other harmful stuff... who said i can't? They say.

Just because a person isn't religious, doesn't mean we don't have ethics & morals.

They simply come from our parents, and our upbringing, combined with the type of person we'd like to be. I have morals so that I can respect myself, not because some book tells me to.

I believe it's better to simply enjoy being a decent human being, because it makes me feel good to do so, rather than from some fear of ultimate punishment, and eternal damnation.

I'm perfectly capable of understanding my behaviour affects other people and through experience I know how that feels. I don't need the fear of the man in the sky to behave properly.

Mortality? Same as everyone else. We live. We die. We are all mortals, are we not?

If you meant morality, I am very much concerned if you need a god and a book to tell you not to things like kill and steal. I do not do these things because I do not want to do them. Doing them would harm others which I also do not want to do. I do not need some deity to threaten eternal condemnation on me in order to treat other people well.

Common sense to how we thrive by keeping up social rules with each other. We're just advanced animals, and other animals have their own systems which are their morality really, to keep a working form of rules that suits them.

The idea of morality, is just a religious way to describe beneficial rules that keep us benefiting each other. Which we've learnt is the optimal way to live.

People don't need to be told to be good. People are born good. They help each other when in need. They love their children. They are taught by bad circumstances to be bad. You don't need a diety to tell you what to do.

slatyb · Answer

We die just like everyone else. Our mortality? From our innate sense of empathy. Humans aren't the only animals who take care of others. There are famous cases of apes taking care with human children. If you need the treat of hell to treat your fellow humans empathetically, there's something wrong with you.

Human beings don't need some else to tell them to be good. People are born good. They care about helping others when in need. It's not only human beings, either. You see individuals in other primate species helping others in their group, like feeding them when they are unable to help themselves.

The same place antivaxxers do.  Hence why both are mad and irrelevant.
