| mai said: Agreed, though take a broad view of things. Religion is such a good thing that it has to be created if it would have never existed. There're no substantial difference between religious moral and non-religious one besides deity issue. The only thing is relevant here is that all these moral codes are dogmas, undisputed ideas that got spread through conflict or willingly accepted by other people. Take for example this century history of spread of non-religious value systems (which undoubtedly entail propaganda of certain social morale dogmas) of socialism and modern day western morale. In more distant past various philosophers created such ideological system in ethics, e.g. confucianism which is considered a religion, but in fact never disputes deity issue, it's entirely social, ethic 'religion' (there're number of other similar examples). |
I would like to see an argumentation of that, since I don't see any irreplaceable benefits that comes form believing in supreme beings.
