And what I alluded to was the concept of "burden of proof". But it's a distraction from the question I originally posed and find more interesting, so I don't want to get into it now. The question I'm interested in is if your sense of morality and of right vs. wrong, is contingent on your belief in god, or if it would remain in tact without it.

Sorry about that. That's what I get for trying to catch up on a thread too quickly.
I don't imagine my behavior would change, nor would my concept of what is right and wrong. I do suppose certain of my social viewpoints might be altered a bit, but in terms of my personal moral code, I don't think it would. I think the concepts of what is good in Christianity are good in general. Love your neighbor. Visit the sick (I suck at that one...hate being around sick people). Feed the hungry. etc, etc. etc. |
