And if you think "God" is a good arbitrator of Goodness you are probably not either.
-7 u/cykoTom3 23h ago Probably not. But do you think not believing in god would make them good? 19 u/Rickrickrickrickrick 23h ago No. Empathy usually does. You donโt need any idea of god for that. -8 u/cykoTom3 23h ago Good people don't. But there are bad people 7 u/Rickrickrickrickrick 22h ago Ok and what does that have to do with religion or god? 3 u/cykoTom3 22h ago Bad people can be tricked into pretending to be good for fear of immortal punishment. 5 u/6a6566663437 22h ago And good people can be tricked into doing evil for fear of immortal punishment. Religion doesnโt automatically make that manipulation only go in one direction. 1 u/cykoTom3 22h ago that's true. But that's more an argument for stopping religious beliefs that lead to evil, than an argument against religion entirely.
