How so? If there is no god, no form of justice outside of man’s control, if a man can murder, rape, pillage to his hearts content without any fear if he can escape capture and punishment by men…then what makes your morality greater than another’s?
How do you know we’re not supposed to do whatever we want and only the best survive?
If someone decides to shoot his neighbor…god does not condemn him..nature does not condemn him…so who decides what is moral and what isn’t…the majority? Do we really need to review history on what great moral decisions the majority has made?
Your moral indignation is based upon what? Morality? What morality? Where exactly do you get your morality from? And why is it superior to someone else’s morality who may disagree with you?
It appears to me that you are displaying more religious notions than you care to admit.
Someone who does not believe in god, does not believe that justice follows man beyond his ability to control, should be of the mindset that morality is just a societal decision based upon the time they live in…rules to prevent chaos…
moral indignation shouldn’t even exist in that man’s heart…as he sees morality as just a tool.
eg. if we were all running around killing each other, nothing would get produced. It’s just a means to an end. Chaos simply…is not productive.
eg. if we are going to live together we need to set some rules…do not kill me and I promise not to kill you…
it is the ‘ religious ‘ who believe that it is more than that…that there is ‘ right ‘ and ‘ wrong ‘ ‘ good ‘ and ‘ evil ‘…
the ‘ religious ‘ are the ones filled with moral indignation.
The non-religious believe rules exist so that mankind can live together and be productive…there is nothing ‘ moral ‘ about it.
