Oh look - a grim-minded, unbelievably dull, uninteresting, unoriginal, uninspiring oaf.

I'm 65yrs old now but I was indoctrinated in catholicism or and was practicing till I was 50yrs old. then I began to think cos I had the time and my common sense and logic began to kick in. I am now an athiest but I know one thing. I have the same morals now as I did when I was 20yrs I've never knowingly hurt anyone, ive tried to live a good life, i am a dad and a granded.I agree I never got these morals from a god or religion the've always been there and still there now. the pope's a dick BTW.

You're brilliant.

[fritleyfrisp]

Ridiculously superficial understanding of Christian theology. Really.

Yeah that was my answer of logic but the truth is no one really knows how they will deal with such profound decisions as these. I'm a parent and my instincts are and always have been to protect her no matter the cost. Its built in us to protect our young. Regarding his question again I still maintain that aside from my christian beliefs, I would do what comes natural to me..help the guy on the street. Ok if someone neglects a dying person its not religion or the lack of. Some folks are just cold

Reminds me of the movie with McCauly Culcin where he's the evil son. (With Joshua wood).

Here is another good scenario. A story that has occasionally circulated emails. A christian man in a ship wreck has to save his child or the other. His son is saved and he saves the other over his own son. The hardest decision. Obviously not the republicans since we are killing non christians by the piles now but any christian that embraces biblical sacrifice. Now, I'm an atheist. Which child? I would only choose another if mine were pure evil and would only bring more heartache to the world.

....allow enough space to answer such an easy question. The same reason a christian would not go and murder someone if he were an atheist is the same reason there is no excuse for Racism because coming from the south I can tell you never was I comfortable wtih racism even as a very small child. If I were an atheist I would be just as protective of my family from harm and of random people knowing fate is what you make it with no cosmic or spiritual intervening.

[cymbeli]

There are consequences. The same person, being,animal,species is lost from your group of species and everything they brought to the world from birth is gone forever and you get the memory of plucking it from the world? How horrible. We should know empathy is somewhat natural at this point. My baby cousin was really upset from hearing his brother cry. He was too young to understand the concept of God. So why was he crying? I'm a christian and I find this answer more than easy and youtube does not

Smart man Gisbourne is and his deep freethinking. It's pretty strange, but cool to see his book on BarnesandNoble.
