Crosspost from !atheism@feddit.de.

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.

    There is nothing to clarify, especially since you never even specified what confused you.

    “It does make me uninclined to talk to you further”

    Oh no, what shall I do?

      Everything you say confuses me, starting with you having some issue with me pasting a quote. Why do you even give a shit? If you don’t like what I post, just block me.

        “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?
