The Bright Movement (Dennett)

[The_Rorschach]

There are moral lessons to Married With Children too, that is hardly a reason to begin a local chapter of NO MAAM. You can't validate religion, any religion, on the precept that it serves an instructive moral purpose. If taken in the context that God does not exist, then morality is merely a matter of perspective, and therefore religions are really just a waste of time. Why should one conform themselves to an alien belief system if there are no rewards to reap?

And the emotional comfort argument really doesn't work. Anyone is more comfortable with their lifestyle before they begin questioning which acts they are committing are sinful.
