An overview of studies which investigate correlations between morality and religious vs. secular / atheist ideologies presented by Phil Zuckerman who is a professor of sociology and secular studies at the Claremont colleges in California, USA. Summary: Atheists / secular people not only have morals but are even more moral than religious people. Note: Of course moral is a matter of perspective. In this context we agree that compassion and empathy are our foundations of moral.

    “Why do you even give a shit”

    Why did you post it? My reason for posting a criticism is atleast as valid as yours for posting the initial comment. The primary difference is that my clearly satirical fake quote wasn’t deliberately conveying a false statement.

    “Just block me”

    Please people, don’t criticise me!

    If you announce something to the public, the public can respond back. The world isn’t a pulpit to preach from.

        I characterised my statement as a fake quote, you illiterate dolt, “fake” is literally directly after "my " and before “quote”. It was satirizing your quote-mining of a clearly false statement, by attributing another clearly false statement to a noted logician and pretending that it was therefore correct, because that’s exactly what you did.

          Huh. So maybe I’m not the genius you claimed I think I am and actually the idiot I think I am.

          Can you imagine? You not being right about me?

            Yes, I can imagine. You are probably somewhat self-aware that you are a moron. That’s why you commit an appeal to authority fallacy in your initial comment.

            But keep on imaging that you can play epistemic games with me.

              Somewhat? I literally said I’m an idiot. Where is the somewhat? How much more direct do I have to be?
