[QUOTE="Coded-Dude, post: 2764308, member: 16918"] Since the subject came up and this thread was linked......I'll throw in my two cents. I give much respect to religion for its efforts to instill positive morals into mankind, but to think morality is exclusive to religion or that without religion we wouldn't know right from wrong is a bit preposterous(IMHO). Cohen lays it out pretty well in plain and simple terms. It is a somewhat long read, but well worth it if you are seriously interested in what an atheist or agnostic viewpoint on the subject is. I would quote or highlight some of his better points, but I believe it's necessary to read the whole thing in order to understand the philosophy behind it.
