Suggesting that life be based on atheist principles gives free reign to societies and individuals to do as they please and failure would show that you are not up to standards and suggests you suicide rather than face social consequences.
You are condemning me for thinking this way and making the active choice not to precede with it, while simultaneously suggesting that it is the way people should proceed.
This is where you go badly wrong,there are no atheist principles,it is not a worldview or even a philosophy,it is nothing more than a lack of belief in the existence of god(S).Nothing else is implied by it.Nada.Period.The end.
I believe you are mistaken, Denial seems to be a distinctive ruling opinion for all atheist...oppose to agnostics.
It is much more than a lack of belief, for all atheist...it is a distinctive ruling opinion...that which you have adamantly expressed every time you hear the word God.
Circumstances change, with that, A players Morals might change also.
Who do you think would be most likely to abandon their ''Morals'' when confronted with a calamity?
The Godless (infidels) are powerless when death is on the line...abandon all moral judgment if it means survival...anything is permissible if it leads to your survival.
The Bible produces a good moral code for those who don't know any better and for those who might run against the law.
