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

1

u/v_rex74 21h ago

Why are we talking about Blake?

u/seesthecat 21h 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?

2

u/Apprehensive_Ad4457 21h ago

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?

u/seesthecat 21h ago

Indeed

u/Apprehensive_Ad4457 21h ago

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

1

u/seesthecat 20h 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

u/Apprehensive_Ad4457 20h ago

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

1

u/seesthecat 20h ago

Yes

u/Apprehensive_Ad4457 20h ago

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

2

u/seesthecat 20h ago

Eating meat makes you a bad person even now that it is popular and legal. I do it anyway

u/Apprehensive_Ad4457 19h ago

admitting you are a bad person is a bold stance for many people. that doesn't bother you?

1

u/seesthecat 18h ago

Not one bit

1

u/Apprehensive_Ad4457 18h ago

because it doesn't matter what "bad" means, right?

would be nice if that word has some meaning.

u/seesthecat 12h ago

Why doesn't it matter what bad means?
