you're talking about social constructs breh. religions themselves are social constructs, but they're not the only ones that exist, it seems like you're making them it out to be that way though. like if person doesn't believe in a particular god or religion, then they have no ties to social constructs of any kind or are somehow contradicting themselves. believing something is 'good' or 'bad' isn't anywhere near the same as claiming that belief as "objective morality"-- it just doesn't exist, even in a world with religion. jadillac pointed that out.
Nah the OP is meant to be personalized breh...
You're looking at the OP and applying it to the already presumed stance of a naturalistic world
Here's what the OP is getting at
When an individual believes in God/Creator they then establish a foundation to where they can believe moral values that go beyond what state/govt/culture institutes
They have a basis to believe that man has an intrinsic worth and moral obligations to where they can believe something to be right or wrong on an objective level
The atheist..doesnt have this foundation
The naturalistic worldview doesnt provide a transcendant foundation for objective moral values to exist
Thats not to say..you cant believe in social constructs existing
But that is to say..that if you truly believe in the worldview in which you claim then u must adhere to the fact that morality becomes just a mere illusion accoriding to your worldview
But not just that..
Due to the origin of our existence being what it is in this worldview
We are given no collective purpose
So things like "human rights"..which I referenced in the OP
Makes no sense to be fought for by an atheist..when u look at the naturalistic worldview
Sht like rights, worth, thats all illusion breh breh.
So what was the purpose of the OP?
Was it to make atheists believe in God??
No
Its to ask the question
If you are an atheist how in da blue hell do you account for concepts such as human rights, human worth, and a violation of those things that go beyond what state/govt/culture impute on us?
