Debate: Is it possible for man to live a moral life without religion? (view source)
Revision as of 02:47, February 20, 2009
, 02:47, February 20, 2009→Yes, it is possible
:I'm not sure that a law-abiding life and a moral life are the same thing. If I want to kill, steal, and otherwise do horrid things, and I only refrain because I'm afraid of getting caught and punished, am I, in fact, a moral person? --[[User:Benp|Benp]] 21:14, 19 February 2009 (EST)

::That's the irony of it. You didn't commit a crime (law-abiding) but want to or fear the consequences (not moral). You are still perceived as being good when in fact you are not. Or the person that wants to do crime thinks they are moral for not committing the crime, they are still not. Can you be good without religion?--[[User:Jpatt|jpatt]] 21:47, 19 February 2009 (EST)
