Without a final arbiter all your axioms are paperweights. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
Observation is the final arbiter. I live without divine authority every day. I have no fear of an eternal hell nor do I do good things for promise of eternal happiness. Both are a lie and a sham. I argue for equality for all and abhor violence and murder. I am as honest a person as you're likely to find and cannot bring myself to take advantage of someone else for my own gain. Given all that, I probably possess a higher moral standard than any who would call themselves "righteous".
But keep pretending magic is real. Just don't cry when it fails you.
