If the Abrahamic religions are what you call ''an ultimate foundation for ethics'' then count me out. Read the Jewish scriptures and the koran and the genocidal inclinations of this ''god''. Religion is the ultimate foundation for genocide, not ethics.

I love how this clip includes such sinister sounding music.
As if there is something disturbing about the views of these thoughtful (not to mention, cheerful) individuals.

@Satarack You're exactly right. Morality must boil down to opinion, and the morality of genocide becomes subjective.

Will Provine accepts life and existence for what it is. He is so honest with himself and others. I respect him a lot.

What an insult his being is Provine !

@exchangeisno Yet the atheism outlined by Dr. Provine cannot pass judgement on genocide. He claims that ethics have no foundation, argues that morality is meaningless, emotions are meaningless, and reason is just genetic and environmental programming. There is no meaning, no good, no evil.
If that is the ultimate truth of atheism, as Dr. Provine believes, then atheism can do nothing in the face of genocide; it cannot pass judgment as ethics are an illusion, they don't really exist.

@glendaweil of course love exists. Love is psychology and biochemistry. Maybe an inconvenient approach but that is the truth. Ask your loving god about Auschwitz where he did nothing except watching or the biblical genocides he committed for example

The problem rather seems to be you are too (yes, that's with 2 o's, not one) stupid to spell or use proper grammar.
It's just sick and SAD.
