I understand that religion can become very important to people. But it scares me that they need religion to maintain morality. I mean, that implies that the reason these people think that non-religious people are immoral is because the religious people wouldn't be moral if God didn't tell them it's important. Maybe that's not what you meant to say, but that's certainly the implication I read. Do these people not have an innate sense of what is right, what is wrong, and what is a grey area?
Rereading what I've written, I'm sure that's not what you meant to say. So, I guess I'm asking, what do you mean when you say that it (religion) has "almost become essential for them to establish and maintain their moral integrity"? --BenD G Money wrote: > I think it's important for people of faith to come to understand that > morality can be borne from other sources, and that people who do not share > their religion, or who profess no religious affiliation at all....can be and > usually are, moral upstanding people. > > Likewise, atheists or others who profess no religious affiliation need to > come to an understanding that to many people, religion is an extremely > important aspect in their lives, an aspect that has almost become essential > for them to establish and maintain their moral integrity. > > On 11/6/07, Ben Doom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> That makes an odd amount of sense. >> >> If anyone cares: I'm not an atheist.
