i do not wish to debate anything here like i have said in the past i have much respect for most on this forum (believers and non believers) i am simply wondering if the atheist or non god believers every worry about what if your wrong?
it seems that many who were jw for so many years attach jehovah/yahweh with the watchtower and since the wt is wrong than god does not exist.
i ask this question only because i care about people and salvation thats why i want to help as many as possable come out of this cult,and since i truly believe in god i dont know what is in the cinscience of those who dont.
Lack of empathy gives rise to bad behaviour, that's all.
But how do you determine what is bad or good in the absence of empathy? Is the unempathetic a bad person? Bad measured against what? How can you determine this when life is merely a series of actions and reactions?

A person could say that the socalled divine law sprang from the empathy that is universal in humans and some animals.
But this doesn't explain evil; on the contrary, it tends to rationalize it.

Yes, Satanus, that is where the Creator of all our chemical reactions comes in, because despite our abundance or lack of empathy, there is a standard by which to determine morality in the absence of empathy or one's unwillingness to act upon it.

But the atheist definition of empathy isn't moral, it is Newtonian—merely chemical. You run into problems when others don't have or act on empathy, based on their own chemical reactions. Also, empathy creates a choice and a decision; what makes people choose what they do? Empathy can't be the atheist's standard given that definition, because atheist philosophy is highly dependent upon relativism. Empahty, in all of its results, would be considered and absolute, wouldn't it?

there are good believers and bad believers.. no god has ever changed that.".
You do a great job of ridiculing you
You mean "yourself." Thanks for coming out though.

Entirely, fortunately for you, Satanus bailed you out. Fine, but do you think empathy alone can account for all the guilt in the world as well as be the determining factor drive people to do what is moral?
perfect, I was going to say...I think you meant to post that on the other thread.

Entirely is obsessed with potatoes. He is trying to ridicule me on another thread using his "clever" potato card.

Entirely, where does the standard of "treating people decently and like equals" come from?

NewChapter,
We just deny the existence of that ruler.
I know. And that's why you couldn't answer my simple question about a month back asking atheists by which standard they determine their supposed morality.
jw's make much of calling god jehovah as if somehow this makes them better than us.
do we call our mother's by their legal name?
if you do or do not does that make the other less a son or daughter of god?.
Satanus, a Christian uses supplication to the divine (Jesus Christ) while the magician attempts to command angels and nature. When a demon is cast out, it is not by the power of the person supplicating God but by God Himself.
