If man is nothing but evolved pond scum, then how does he know what is immoral and what is not? How can pond scum do evil?

Hello V:

We don't.. Evil IS a religious word.. It connotes demons, devils, and bad spirits. Atheists don't believe in those things..

We surly know what BAD behavior is, though..

Like not seperating kids from sex traffickers at the border...

Putting aside your ignorance of English such that you do now know evil is a simpler way of saying bad behavior, tell us how you know when one bag of evolved pond scum is doing something "bad" to another bag of evolved pond scum, especially if the perp thinks the victim is lesser evolved than he is?

Easy.

When one human causes unwanted suffering to another that is bad behavior.

The goal of morality for atheists is to limit the amount of suffering we cause.

The goal of morality of theists is to appease a god's demands.

HOGWASH! You support No Rerstriction ABORTIONS FOR ALL UNBORN BABIES NO MATTER THE STAGE OR HEALTH OF BABY AND MOTHER!

You have no clue to the BAD behavior you support when voting for the Democrat Party.

Without God, mankind is pure selfish and has no limit to the evils it will support.

At first I found you to be some annoying troll, but now I just find you unintentionally hilarious.

So when someone posts scientific research which explicates why you are not Jewish, and you reply by calling them a "science-denying Jew hater", you know that is wrong?

And yet you still do it.

Well, today we only have to look at the White House for an excellent definition … or Helsinki …. or Saudi Arabia … or Russian agents in the Oval Office … or Trump at NATO … or looking over the shoulder of Stormy Daniels with that "evil" grin, while his wife is having a baby … or Trump at the "National Prayer Breakfast" … Trump playing golf on our ($)millions … OR, … well that's a start! Evil is, as evil does, and Trump DOES … day after day! An atheist can SEE evil, as well as anyone that is not blind, and if s/he IS blind, it can be FELT! (Especially if one walks in front of Herr Gropenfuhrer.)!

Evil is that which causes suffering (in intensity and in numbers). Even my dog realizes that if he bites another dog, he is causes pain. A dog also realizes KARMA- if you bite l, then you are subject to being bitten!! Do think a dog needs to read a Bible to realize this?

I am a Pagan. But you can have no religion and still understand this concept. Paganism just explains why their are these type events.

Why is this so hard for your morons? I did not ask you WHAT evil is, but how you know what it is. Learn to read, people, and stop taking moral lessons from your dog.
