Re: If God doesn't exist,; then why.......
As to why we feel good/bad to good/evil, it's an evolved "feature" through the long long LONG history of us humans living as a social animal that required cooperation among the close relatives to survive/florish.

It's all biological, it's just as explainable as why we feel the "urge" or "drive" to have sex, or why our adrenaline rises when we see danger. It has absolutely nothing to do with "god". People need to learn science. Without it people will just keep believing in fairy tales for explainations for EVERYFUCKINGTHING because they can't fit anything else in their tiny heads.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1347561


You believe in evolution. That's hilarious. Science is a huge joke. One of the best jokes about "science" is that for decades they confidently assert a theory as fact, then they're proven wrong. They look SO incredibly STUPID. Example: so-called genius Einstein's theories are crumbling but nothing is replacing them. We still don't know crap, despite arrogant scientists' statements to the contrary.

Some people don't have conscience like psychopaths...
 Quoting: Mustis

But doesn't the fact that some have a "conscience", suggest that there is a God?
 Quoting: ObeWayneKenobe


Absolutely not. Your "conscience" is natural to your spirit. We're told by the religious that we can't possess a conscience without a god that created it. Ever ask "why" -- why would we need a god to create our conscience? Your spirit is self-existent, as is your conscience, and is the product of who-knows-how-many incarnations. Your experiences have molded you but your conscience is independent of those.
 Quoting: Free Spirit

Then why are SOME "Loving"......and some aren't? What are those connected to, that makes them Loving??

If "god" really exists then how come the people how never knew anything about "god" e.g. the ancient Romans or Egyptians or Chinese lived happy and productive lives and had a florished culture and civilization?

What I really mean is "god" doesn't exist, it's just a wide spread fairy tale.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1347561

But couldn't that depend upon One's definition of God?
 Quoting: ObeWayneKenobe


No, there is nothing "god" to begin with, all kinds of "gods" are by definition made-up entities that do not exist in real life.

Ok. Prove me wrong.

Magical Smurfs created the Earth 650 years ago.

I know this because Papa Smurf himself whispered magical knowledge to me in my sleep.

Everyone who does not believe me are going to be sent by Papa Smurf to the evil Gargamel to be eaten.

Papa Smurf speaks to me and I can hear his thoughts.

_________________________________________


You can't prove me wrong, nor can I prove that God doesn't exist.

But you can't say, through the development of knowledge throughout the years, that all science is wrong because one theory was proven wrong. Humans are getting more and more knowledge of the universe and, of course, the person that is looking at the universe is going to have less knowledge available to them hundreds of years ago.


Sometimes I wish I did have a child-like mentality that simple "magic" created everything...and still be content with never even questioning it.

Nope, god doesn't exist, anywhere, in our universe, outside our universe, no. Physical laws do not permits so and if there was anything "abnormal" happened we would have detected it.

There is no "intellect" other than, ourselves, animals, and aliens (if there is any).

There is no "intellect" involved in the shaping of our universe, or what is outside it. Simple rules, automated infinity. Physics.

Yup. As is language.

Side Note - You guys should read Derrida. He was mostly a linguist but his ideas can be applied to the God debacle.

He says there is the signifier and the signified, or the word "tree" and what you think when you hear "tree." A tree is a tree because a tree is not a mouse. Basically he is saying all things are in reference to another.

In the case of good and bad, there is no absolute perfect good or bad. You can only say something is good because you compare it to past experiences, and it that good thing is good because it is better than what came before.

Basically, words are like reality cookie cutters. You can name anything - cut the cookie into any shape you want - but it is still a cookie and it still came from something not a cookie.

Even simpler - reality is a gigantic thesaurus, or a search on wikipedia. You look something up, learn about, then you are referred to something else. Where did the tree come from? A seed? Where did the seed come from? Before you know it you are at the big bang and left with something, for all intents and purposes, unnameable; the beginning, or as Derrida would say, the "transcendental signified," or the thing from which all differences are made.

But alas, linguistics and theology do have paths that will never cross.

Re: If God doesn't exist,; then why.......
I feel the OP. Why is good, GOOD and bad is BAD, as in what determined what's of good and what's of bad.

like, why is bad to talk loud or give a good ol "woot" every now and then in public libraries but ok in public parks? sure you may be desturbing other readers but why is it determined bad if dogs can bark at all times of the night when I'm trying to damn sleep?!?! --- ok those are some bad examples

maybe this:

Some species kill and eat others and their own for food and nourishment and crap. Why is it bad if a human does? ( please do not mistake this as a desire to do so!!! - just giving an example!!! ) but when other animals or species does it, it's the circle of life, or nature or whatever. What makes humans different, because we are intelligent? we will condom killing each other for the purpose of JUSTICE and crap....soooo... why don't other species feel as we do when they kill?

arent we all product of nature? we got the killing each other part down packed, just got a bunch of rules to it.

i think this might be a better one.

what if a poor chinese kid in the slums of some poor Chinese village who havent ate in days, stole one of donald trumps fries when he was looking as he was touring where to build a casino - AFTER HE ALREADY ASKED FOR ONE. that kid would get punished. hes hungry, needs a damn french fry, donald trump is dumb rich with a whole super-sized carton full of them and by law in pretty much every country that kid is WRONG. why?
