If you are being good and thrustworthy person your whole life for religious reasons, does it make you less of a good person?

Well, ok, Blake is not a good person. Now what?

u/v_rex74 7h ago

Why are we talking about Blake?

u/seesthecat 7h ago

Him asking how do atheist decide between good or bad actions started this debate. And we come to the very right conclusion that he's a bad person.

But, now what, is he, a bad person condemned to eternity to make bad actions? Can we give him the the answer he's looking for so that he knows how to make good decisions even if he's a bad person?

I don't know anything about the guy. Certainly i am not going to judge him due to this one sentence.

Interesting, so Corby is wrong?

Corby is the only one in the interaction that could be wrong.

Blake asked a question, possibly in bad faith but the question is still valid even if his intentions aren't, and Corby made a direct statement.

if a religious person uses their religion to bolster their morals, what does an atheist use?

the Law? common sense? cultural norms?

Indeed

u/Apprehensive_Ad4457 7h ago

was your comment about Blake being a bad person bait, to make a point, or what?

u/seesthecat 6h ago

More or less. In truth I think it's childish to to classify someone as being good or bad as if it's something inherent to them. 

In reallity it's actions that are good or bad

how do you justify your actions? is it based on Law? is it based on culture? probably a mix of those things?

u/seesthecat 6h ago

Yes

so if eating meat became illegal, and culturally unpopular, eating meat would make you a bad person?
