  2. Beliefs... by Tardigrade · · Score: 1 · on Feature:Why ideas should not be property

    It seems disingenuous of you to also claim what a god-given right to life would be. You are not god. How come you don't go around stoning adulterers? It says to do so in the bible. I agree with your last paragraph (being an ethical nihilist), but for a different point of view perhaps you might like to visit Secular Humanism.

    An omnipotent god isn't a complete foundation for morals and ethics either. What gives that god the right to declare what is right or wrong? The ability to punish the transgressors? Like the state has the ability to punish the transgressors of its laws? What gives a god to declare absolute right and wrong? Absolute compared to what? The whole premise falls apart if you look at it even remotely hard.
