When monkeys' only choice is to veer left to kill one human or right to kill 5 humans on the tracks .. they almost always choose to veer left and do the least damage. So even an animal can be moral and this has nothing to do with god except if there was a god and he just natural endowed man and primates with "good genes".\
When monkeys do see other monkeys in cages getting painful shocks when they touch a bar that gives them food, so many have starved themselves to death rather than watch another monkey in pain. Heck a lot of humans might not do this. One study showed monkeys do the most moral thing when simulation of a railroad ride on a death train is "performed".
Many studies show that even primates and other animals are moral and they may not have the ability to appreciate god in the sense that mankind does. And if animals are moral in terms of cooperation or feeling others' pain and it doesn't come from their knowledge of god or respecting or fearing god then this is an essential point.
The animal world: The pleasure of doing good is shown in monkey studies; we presume monkeys don't believe in god or a higher authority .
Of course many believers do good out of the same motivations as non-believers .. I don't think most believers are normally thinking about rewards of Christianity
Most people don't seem to understand that it is better and more moral to do good for mankind, animals or yourself without expectation of heaven or avoidance of hell. If a believer does good how do we know if it is not just not increase chances of getting into heaven ?
Motivation is essential to deeming good works "good" or not. Believers and non-believers inherit good genes as do most people from their parents. These good genes are naturally endowed and increase greatly with mammals. Non-believers raised by a caring families just feel good from doing a good act or cooperation with others or not liking to see others in pain because that is how they evolve - just as most believers. There is no anticipation of a huge reward as believers often think they have.
Yeah Neil believes in god and I never said that was bad, just an error in logic. Here is a little bit of why: Where does morality come from?
"If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities." [Voltaire]
Very few people realize that Atheist's good deeds are inherently more moral than fanatical Christians, or perhaps all Christians, when performing the same good deeds because there is no heavenly reward or punishment awaiting Atheists for their good acts.
@nicohappysad i liked all the stuff he said between songs, i dunno. it made it more personal and showed you the kind of person he was. i mean, his music does that too
Neil writes beautiful lyrics and sings them with emotion and sensitivity that I really haven't seen in other artists on such a consistent basis. His lyrics hint and tug at what lies below our collective subconscious; well, maybe it's just mine. I think some people don't relate to his heartfelt messages because they are lacking heart
evil and the absence of morality are rather the result of a separation from love. such love doesn't create darkness; rather, darkness is the mere absence of light. so all that gnawing and gnashing of teeth..it lies within a choice that is yours to be made. It has nothing to do with God being a dumbass.
lol i can agree with saying that Dylan "cant sing" but Neil no, just try to sing 'dont let it bring you down' at the octive he does... he has a high voice... and throughout the years it has not gotten any worse
Neil is great .. on only 900 people have heard this beautiful song .. so many great early songs from Buffalo Springfield and his early CDs.. what am I doing here?
wonderfull, and an amazing high quality, Thank you very much!
