if ethics then religion # sorry friend

Dostoevsky quite correctly postulated that "if God does not exist, all is allowed". Non-religious ethics have absolutely no rational basis whatsoever. That does not mean that they are bad in any way, in fact atheist are often much kinder people than religious folks, but the fact is that their choice of ethics is based on strictly nothing. No atheist can ever justify "why not" no matter how appalling and evil the suggested propostion would be. All he can answer is "because". And simply "because" is never an adequate answer to "why".

Think about it!
