There's been studies with infants who are shown animal characters, where one acts in a simple yet nice manner and the other acts in a simple yet mean manner. The vast majority of babies will reach for the nice (aka good) animal when presented the opportunity.
Cool story. What about sociopaths? I guess god just forgot to install their consciences. You know how I know you do not even believe that? Because if you did, there would be no reason to teach children right from wrong, they would just know it.
Jesus Christ. Only you would believe in that demonic possession nonsense. Not surprising as you worship Satan, Hellboy, Beezelbub, Mephistopheles and the like. Your stylistic leanings suggest severe lack of maturation.
Oh, and the WBC sucks. They’re as bad as Satan peddling edgelords.

Nah come on, intellectually honest time, the WBC are noticeably worse than the Satanist edgelords

The thing is, people DO seem to instinctively know right from wrong. I mean, even at my ripe old age, I can remember recoiling at things as a kid I just knew were off, without anyone ever having taught me they were wrong.
They know, but they just don't care. (Can one be "taught" to care? That's the eternal question that makes us keep trying to instill values, isn't it?)

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
This is what happens when you can't make a strong argument you start trying to backtrack. Look it's an assumption to assume that people are doing things primarily because of their religion. There are lots of other factors in play, for example if somebody where to kill a religous persons children you would assume that the person goes on a rampage for relgious reasons when it can just be revenge. Please use some common sense, other factors can be in play like economics. Also you have to bare in mind religous people are not 100% that their beliefs are correct so they choose to believe in it.
Whatever, you sound like an evangelical Christian trying to use emotion to get your point across instead of logic and facts.
Yea but you're primarily trying to put the blame on religion. The point is that Western intelligence agencies are the primary cause of Islamic Terrorism not Islam.
Feel free to prove it then.
Nope I'm correct let me break it down. If you want to argue about a diety called Zeus who is an old white guy that lives on a mountain and if you want to argue about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins then you have a point about the specific aspects of certain faiths. But you are incorrect in the idea that the existance of gods are illogical.
You can deduce that beings like gods probably exist just by looking at nature. Bacteria exists, insects exist, animals exist and humans exist it stands to reason that more likely than not other beings out there more powerful than human beings exist. The reason why you come to that conclusion is because you can already observe a hierarchy of lifeforms that already exsist. So it's like this 2=bacteria, 4=insects, 6=animals, 8=humans whats the next number? The next number is probably 10. It might not be but it probably is. So belief in gods is based on inference while Atheism is based on.....I dunno i guess some strange vendetta you have with Christians.
You're also kinda immature anyone whos lived long enough and has read enough history knows you can't make sweeping generlizations like athiesm is married to rationality because you're dealing with humans, all humans can be irrational. The fact that Stalin and Mao killed so many people proves this, also I could talk about in the scientfic community athiests are ruining research into the supernatural because as soon as tests show that the supernatural exists they reject the findings.
Common sense indicates that if you are trying to do good and you believe that a divine force is helping you you're going to be more motivated than if you didn't. You could also maybe argue vice versa but history doesn't show that...Communists.
There you go again with you're bashing of Christians. I just showed you a video of Communists who wanted to kill 25 millions Americans. I'm not worried about Christians attacking me. You just have this obssession with them, you have Christophobia.

Emphasis on seem. The appearance of design is not necessarily evidence of design. Similarly, the appearance of instinct could be a confluence of environmental and social factors.
You could argue that it is necessary that humans have tribe-preserving altruistic behaviors built into their genes in order to be as successful of a species that we are.
Exobiologists theorize that any species that is capable of interstellar travel will, as a necessity, require to have this "unit altruism" in their programming to assemble the resources and mind-power necessary for interstellar travel.
It's better to look at is like a tautology: an altruistic, social species is an altruistic social species.
It doesn't just seem like we are programmed to be this way. We ARE this way. It's in our basic programming to be this way. We are designed specifically to be this way because it is the result of millions of years of evolution.
The problem with your example is that it improperly presumes there is a higher-order without evidence. Metaphorically speaking, pointing that out is what Atheism is.
Mao and Stalin were not inspired to kill people by Atheism, but by Fascism, which is an ideology as dangerous as religion. Science is the study of nature, and the supernatural definitionally exists outside of nature, and therefore cannot be observed by science, so I have no idea what you are going on about there.
Conversely, common sense would indicate that one would be more motivated to commit heinous acts if he believe a divine being wanted him to do so. Congratulations on defeating your own argument.
More acts of domestic terrorism are committed by Christian-identified extremists in the United States than any other group. Our prisons are disproportionately filled with "good" Christians.
