there probably is no meaning to life and yes there is no scientific reason to be ethical nevertheless there is countless moral reasons.

@Darkeons Thank you very much. Now it's all I can hear! I'll be hearing it in my head when I read his books now.

Singer is truly one of the *great minds* of our generation. I giggle every time I see clips of Dawkins saying, "Yes... but most of us are not as ethical or moral as you..."

Australia produces two of the world's greatest minds: Singer and Tao; both are truly exceptional individuals in their respective fields of pursuits....

An interesting talk by Peter Singer. He makes a lot of sense, and is an excellent speaker. I've added him to my list of prominent secular / atheist / humanist people.

I think religion is primative. I guess we need to start some where. But adults that still need this stuff is wierd to me. They really are to lazy or to stupid to think for themselves.
