I hope reading isn't too difficult for you bro? or which part of my post didn't answer your question directly?

Can you just answer my question directly. Tell me how YOU differentiate right from wrong. Don't give me generic answers. Tell me how you as an individual determines what's wrong and what's right.

It's either the people who claim to be atheists on this forum are unintelligent or just confused. I asked a simple question and all I'm getting is just unrelated responses and deliberate obfuscation. This is really frustrating.

CAPSLOCKED:

LOL

LET'S THROW DICE TO DECIDE WHO ANSWERS FIRST.

You obviously don't have an answer to my question so I'll wait for someone who does.

It's quite ironic that people like you criticize theists for being evasive but you are doing the same thing.

hopefulLandlord:
Everyone already decides for themselves what is right and wrong, based on a combination of principle, compassion, and social influences. Some of us aren't delusional enough to think our morals have been handed down by some omniscient figure.

How do YOU differentiate right from wrong? On what basis is YOUR morality predicated?

Why can't you guys just answer my question directly?

CAPSLOCKED:
TELL ME HOW YOU DETERMINE WHAT'S HARD AND WHAT'S SOFT...
I PROMISE TO ANSWER YOU AFTER THAT

Can you answer my simple question and stop making non sequitor analogies?

dalaman:
Athiest get their morality from where everyone gets his or her morality from which is the society.

Society isn't a monolithic entity. There are lots of societies and they tend to have differing moral principles. Saying you derive your morality from society doesn't make any sense because you aren't specific on which society you are referring to.

So again, on what basis do differentiate right from wrong?

CAPSLOCKED:

YOU DON'T NEED RELIGION TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG OR RIGHT.
YOU DON'T NEED ATHEISM TO BE GOOD OR BAD.

EVEN A 2YO CHILD KNOWS CERTAIN THINGS ARE OKAY, AND SOME AREN'T.


"COMMON SENSE" IS ALL WE NEED.

How do you differentiate between what's wrong and what's right? How do you define right and wrong? How do you determine what's morally wrong and what's morally right? Please answer my question.

CAPSLOCKED:

IF YOU NEED FALSE BELIEFS, SUPERSTITIONS, AND THREATS OF DAMNATION OR FALSE PROMISES FROM MYTHICAL CREATURES JUST TO BE MORAL, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE HUMAN.

MORALITY IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF HUMANITY.

You haven't answered my question. My question is: As an atheist, on what basis do you differentiate what's right from what's wrong. Please respond to my question.

Atheist answers:

How is this a response to my question?

Lol why aren't the atheists responding?

Ever8054:
this is one of there problem, ask them a simple question,..not knowing what to say,they start typing rubbish....

He is on your side of the debate.

Read and think before you type.

Hi Atheists on NL. I'm curious to know the basis upon which you use in differentiating between right and wrong since you don't believe in the existence of a transcendent moral authority that prescribes moral principles that are codified in the literature of the said religion.
