If you believe in god, you're an idiot...

I'm so logical because somehow I"m special for noticing that religion is "illogical and stupid"

In reference to the person attacking my (supposed) argument that you must believe in god to be moral. Let me ask - where does your sense of morality come from? Why do you choose to have certain morals? How do you logically justify not killing/stealing/raping/acting in whichever way pleases you at the time. "But we have laws". Did you ever wonder why these laws are the way they are? It seems people put down the stupidity of the past quite often but then don't realize that the basis of the laws for the US ad western countries comes from christian morality. It's more fanatical to me to believe that somehow humans are naturally born with a certain moral system.

In case people haven't realized, one of the goals of the state is to indoctrinate the moral code. It's easier and better to have people that are conditioned not to want to commit certain acts then for people to only not offend out of fear of punishment. So while you pretend that all your thoughts/feelings are uniquely yours, just consider to what lengths your social world has constructed you.

Then you might realize that your denial of god is irrelevant, the state accomplished its task by instilling in you the necessary sacred code of morality.



On a further note it's actually interesting the reasons people use to justify why they don't believe in god. What stirs people to profess such disgust with this concept of a god?
