[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It's honestly frightening to me that for [some] religious people, the only thing stopping them from killing or raping their fellow humankind, stealing from them, or causing any other harm towards another, is a very old book compiled from some loose stories about men thousands of years ago. If a book is all that stands between you and committing violence or grief towards another, that's fucking terrifying.

You have no internal moral compass? Do you only do things for a selfish reward when you die? Do you really have that little compassion for your fellow humanity?

Well said.[/quote]
Are you implying atheists are automatically equipped with a moral compass? Who's to say the only thing that stops you is not the fear of punishment? Stop this nonsense.[/quote]

It's saying that most human beings are equipped with an internal moral compass. It's the fact that some people religious have what appears to be just a book standing between them and doing harmful/dangerous things - which is really pretty damn flimsy.

And narcissistic, to only be decent because you fear being punished by Dad.

Do you seriously have nothing in you that makes you want to be a compassionate, decent human being, for its own merit? You only do good to avoid punishment or because a book says so? That's pretty scary. [/quote]
