>Once atheism is the default state, moral relativism results
Nope. Google "The Golden Rule". predates Jeebus. Putting that aside...

The problem is that you incorrectly view basing your life on LotR for the 2000 year old crowd as the solution.
The real question we need to ask is, with religion correctly discarded as the lens through which we interpret reality, where do we find ourselves? In 300 years if everyone is a 600 pound transsexual pedophile, then that is just the way of things. But I personally highly doubt that.

What i'm saying is, religion is not necessary for morality. But even if it was, religion is still a crock of shit- so we are just left with the admittedly unfortunate truth that the human condition involves moral relativism. But again, it doesn't, and both you and religion are retarded.

I'm flattered that you reposted my post, however I am skeptical that this thread is going to be productive.

How did this board get so bad? Lit wasn't always a pol colony man.
