I found this interesting after I have been watching a number of lectures on both sides of theology lately and compiled so very interesting quotes and info. If there is no god we have to find out ultimately the answer very quickly for a morale law. Who defines good and evil? All the athiests admit how tough this actually becomes for people who need to define good, and need to define Evil. Canadian Athiest Kai Neelson on his Problem of defining good and evil We have not been able to show that reason requires of us that we have a morale point of view or that really rational persons, Unhoodwinked by myth or ideology, need not as a result of their belief become individual egosists or classical Amoralists. reason does not decide here. the picture I have painted for you is not a pleasant one. Reflection on this actually depresses me. Pure practical reason even with a good knowledge of the facts will NOT take you to morality ~ Kai Neelson The most notable Australian athiest Jao mackey says essentially the same thing The whole nature of morale reasoning has such an imense configuration to it that it is impossible to actually arrive at a rational defense of it without invoking a morale, personal, first cause. ~ Jao Mackey First Cause: noun 1. a source or cause of something 2. (often capitals) (esp in philosophy) God considered as the uncaused creator of all beings apart from himself Bertand Russel a very highly esteemed British philosopher, logician, mathematician, and historian puts it this way I cannot believe that values are simply a matter of my personal taste, and so I find my own views actually quite incredible and I do not know the solution. ~Bertand Russel I say the reason is, when you do away with God you do away with good and evil ~ Ravi Zacharias True and absolute non-existence of god would lead to a world of true and absolute Chaos ~Unknown
