RE: Crime, Justice and God
Hi Dave - I totally hear you! I think that we have to be careful in how we approach that notion when we don't believe in God. We must remember that our fellow human mostly does believe in God and a higher being in general. I would love it if we moved towards the concept of moral versus immoral faster.
This of course takes time, but is a feasible to happen within our lifetimes. Thank you for your comment!
There are indeed many people who still believe in some form of a deity, but I'm happy to see that number slowly but surely declining. I think it's important to put the notion that you don't need to believe in unreasonable assertion to be moral out there without hesitation.
It's also important to notice that saying you don't believe in a god shouldn't have to be approached with more diplomacy than saying you do. If a religious person is not expected to be apologetic about proselytizing, neither should I be expected to be overly diplomatic to religious people being sensitive about me not believing in a god and finding belief in a god unreasonable and often harmful.
