is it possible to have morality without god?
>>
>>526000581
Looking at the history of mankind: No.

how are you going to determine right or wrong without someone to tell you? are you going to just pick morals from the morality tree?

Only a limited amount. Read Genesis with Enoch and Noah. They were the only righteous people left on earth. And with no Bible and no church to support them.

Of course. You just declare things that are good for society as moral, and things which are bad for society immoral. Jewish mysticism is not required.

Perhaps. But you need someone to enforce the morality, and that just so happens to be God when He returns. But He also serves justice here on Earth. Sometimes you just have to be patients. Sometimes the justice is immediate, and sometimes the justice takes years. But I believe ultimately no sin goes unpunished, or at least unaddressed.

Morality can come from natural selection. Behaviors vary, have outcomes and can be passed on. Morality is functional in the physical world

>>526000581
Yes. It's called "I want to live in a society where I don't get ass raped repeatedly" mentality.

Why wouldn't it? Morality is a code of conduct.

I feel like saying there wouldn't be a reason to be moral without some kind of god is kind of a self-own. basically them saying if there wasn't bad consequence they would do that stuff.

>>526000581
There is not a single good argument for objective morals. All you can do is cry about subjective morals and why you don't like it. But everything points to the fact that we both individually and in groups decide what is moral, and often with very different results.

>>526002408
ah, we're getting abstract. no, not necessarily. incest undermines the family unit and the destruction of the family unit undermines the integrity of society. populations that don't do incest tend to do better than populations that do. generally speaking.

so why aren't you incesting? is not like god seems to be against it

The sign is a subtle joke. The shop is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where "feed" and "seed" both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Feeduck and Seeduck".

Regardless of whether one accepts the existence of a deity or not, it's impossible to bridge the is-ought gap without admitting some pre-existing subjective value judgement.

yes, but the only alternative is believing your ancestors are watching you - which almost always overlaps with believing in God. Otherwise nihilism takes over like it's happened to the atheist upper class westerners - that's the main reason the west is dying now

It is possible to be immoral with the realization that god is real embedded in your mind. That's blasphemous rejection, rebellion and nothing is sweeter than descending to great depths to taint god's creation knowing he'll sooner or later be forced to destroy it.
His great work will never come to be completed because there will always be cunts like us.

>>526000581
Absolutely not. Relativism and subjective morality changes with the whim of the individual and society. But what is evil is evil and what is good is good, regardless of how a person feels or tries to justify it. This is because it was dictated by God. It's simple and only rebellious souls could argue otherwise, but they can only argue it in bad faith.
>>
>>526001854
Each death made the others stronger. It's not about preserving life (like downies), but giving death meaning. That keeps morality real. If you take away God you can't justify dying for justice, truth and beliefs. Morality becomes enslaved to material benefit or relative to how you feel in the moment. God allows morality to be absolute as God can see your true nature at all times. The performance becomes real if most people believe in God, and tidy realize they are happier that way, and better than human. Most people just won't put the huge effort of educating themselves into understanding why being a moral person is more important to achieve happiness than being rich and famous. It's too against human instincts.
>>
>>526002832
part of it is. if you're the kind of dude who believes in co2 based climate change running coal and such would be immoral. but if you're a settler trying to terraform mars having a large carbon footprint might be moral. so context, logic.

then there's aspects of morality that are little more subjective in the empathy kind of sense of not doing stuff to other you don't want have done to yourself, resulting in concepts like truth and justice for example. but then truth and justice are also general indicators of a functional society.
>>
>>526002982
The value judgments in question are not random or arbitrary. Every sophisticated society is going to adopt a "no homicide" rule because of its objective, measurable effects on the function of said society.
>>
Yes. God doesnt exist.
Also the jewish god who told the jews to stone women, own slaves, kill infants doesnt sound so moral to me.
So you have no choice but to build your own morals.
Be aware of the law, they will throw you in jail for killing, stealing, etc unless youre somekind of a rich elite.

What was the reason? Was it not to appease gods? It was based on delusions crafted by their dumb monkey brains. OR were they euthanizeing tard babies? Context matters. Of course im speaking logically. Humans are not always logical and mothers might want their retard babies to stay alive. I was answering ops question not from a "can society with imperfect humans create a morally righteous and healthy society without god" but from a "is it possible to libe without god" and it is possible but I think that would only be in a robot society. So my finale answer is yes humans do need god to stay in control because humans are imperfect

I said "subjective," not "arbitrary." Of course, evolutionary pressure has created a human psyche which favors value judgements which keep the society from descending into absolute war. That being said, whether that judgement takes the form of a religious, honor-based, utilitarian, or some other variety of first principle is ultimately dependent on the person and the society in which they're socialized.

Unfortunately, I don’t know??? Nature is cause effect and there are rules. Creation is so wacky all kinds of shit is possible: good, bad, whatever if you will it it can happen or be made. The angry man in the sky god seems like a primitive attempt to get people in line and follow the rules so Creation maintained some order… the wiseman does not seek happiness, but to prevent misfortune, but the wheels fell off long ago. The question is, can humanity follow the rules?? Historically speaking no.

If morality is just "preference" like they all claim, the atheist can't objectively justify any critique of any ethical system.

>Natural selection doesn’t favour morality. Quite the opposite in fact

Yeah, it's called Virtue Ethics.
The cardinal virtues are Justice, Prudence, Temperance, and Fortitude; as long as you place these values in the forefront of your decision making process, your mistakes will at least not be down to your own poor character.

Christian Neoplatonists liked the idea enough to iterate their version of it.

But latterday Christians are often very stupid and dogmatic, and fail to see the beauty and use in things their own Christian forefathers appropriated from their predecessors.

Morality can easily be anchored in the requirements of a functional society. Regardless, moral behavior just because (priests say) a god requires it isn't moral to me either
>>
>>526000581
Ultimately, humans need third party arbitration on morality, because we will always rationalize our actions and condemn the actions of others. Whether God exists or not, believing in a moral authority outside of ourselves that can't be bargained with is good for us. Having an objective standard that we must conform to is necessary for higher civilization. If we need to anthropomorphize that standard into a God than so be it. I personally think there is a Creator. I just don't really think the Creator wants to be worshipped so much as he wants respect, and he wants his creation respected. And morality is mostly just survival, and that which survives evolves to higher forms and continues the creative process. I think most things we think of as moral are only really moral in the context of the survival of a race or species. In other words being nice for its own sake could be bad, because being too nice to niggers harms your people, but being a genuinely nice and kind person amongst your own kind improves social cohesion and helps ensure your people's survival, which is the only actual moral aim.

Morals roughly close to human morals can be observed in animals. Capuchin monkeys famously have a concept of fairness, in that they want similar rewards for similar tasks.

Something approximating morality seems like a requirement for any social animal. How else would individuals coordinate?

It's just moving the goal posts + some vague buzzwords. It's sounds exactly like when leftist attacks idea on the grounds that it "normalizes something". You haven't actually articulated why or what it even means that the family unit is "deconstructed" in this hypothetical.

When you’re talking about ethics and morals, you’re not talking about what you do but rather what you should do. In other words, you’re talking about what you should do for good reasons. The moment you start talking about reasons, the bottom falls out without God. Reason shouldn’t even exist in a materialist paradigm first of all. Reason and the logical principles that it makes use of are immaterial. And as for secular, agnostic, or atheistic non-materialists, it begs the question of from where the good reasons come from. You can accept logical reasoning but without a reason to accept it, your logical reasoning is ultimately baseless and arbitrary. If you try to get out of this by making an account of what is useful or expedient, you at best run into the trap of circularity since it would beg the question of how you know that, which was precisely in question already. Christians accept that both logic and morals derive from revealed knowledge not inductive or dicursive knowledge and thus they avoid this problem of begging the question and circularity and arbitrariness.

Morality should be constructed around two principles: the health of the individual and the health of society.

truth is truth but obviously some aspects of truth a context dependent or constructed. when I was ten and told you I was telling you about being 10 years old I was telling you the truth. if I told you I was 10 at 40 I wasn't.

in terms of society if enough people believe we aren't living in a high trust society anymore it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. but that's just an example.

Monkey mortality is more of a law enforcement thing. He doesn't steal the other monkey's banana because of morals, but because he'll get his ass kicked. Unless he's the alpha, of course, then he does whatever the fuck he wants.
There's also this monkey shower experiment, where monkeys learned to kick another monkey's ass for an arbitrary nonexistent violation, establishing self- perpetuating behaviour norms that persist even after the foundation is removed.

What if you believe in a God but no afterlife, or a God but no punishment/reward, or a god that only tortures and punishes people, or a god that only redeems everyone, or a God but you just reincarnate, etc.?

God is so utterly inconsequential to morality. If anything it's the afterlife that matters to morality. If there is an afterlife that has a huge bearing on what is moral or not, whereas the existence of a God has zero bearing on the issue.

I believe that "truth" "objective truth" and "truth in itself" is nothing but a superposition of contradictory affirmations, every truth exists in this state as a possibility, and everything that is possible can be said to be true.

Truth only applies to reality, the universal, the laws of nature, that kind of stuff.

It does not apply to temporal shit.

Gravity is a truth, law of association is a truth, anything that is outside of time and which never changes is a truth.

The state that something assumed in a specific instance of time is not a truth but a fact.

Everything concerning maya / the world of change / the temporal is not truth.

Truth is the laws of nature / the system. Not the temporal states of entities within the system.

Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf that the Mosaic law is nothing other than the doctrine for preservation of the jewish race. Isn't that really at the heart of all ethnic religions--preservation of the tribe?
The basic religious difference today is the jews keep their Old, primal covenant with Yahweh (even if they arent "observant" they still practice the religion as "is it good for the jews") but starting with the judeo-Roman empire, Europe was forcefed a New, "universal" covenant. Our theological well was poisoned, our sacred trees hewn like Asherah poles (Yahweh commands it.)

It's a human concept, but one with utilitarian value. That being said, humans invent morality. Which is why it's "moral" to let women vote in the West whereas it's "moral" to beat women in the East.

Well morality is debatable and highly based on the circumstances, for example if you are in the middle of the ocean on a life boat for weeks and your continued existance is reliant on eating another human being I wouldn't say its necessarily immoral to do so if the person has already died, it is insanely disgusting but what are you going to do just die yourself too? Killing can be moral too if your or your loved ones life is threatened

I'm saying he 100% agrees with you on utilitarianism and is, in fact, acting according to it. He does believe that laws should be implemented in a purely utilitarian manner, and that individuals in a society as a whole benefit from it. That all entered his moral-utilitarian calculation. It's just that he's going to get away with it and be better off because of it.

Utilitarianism breaks down in an individual level. You cannot ever advise someone not to do something if the whole of your morality comes from utilitarianism is they stand to gain from it.

Yes. I don't believe in a god, but I know I can't do certain things because of the feeling I get when I even think about doing it, let alone attempting to, or the immediate regret and guilt that's happened after when I've tried hardest to ignore those warning flags and gone through with it.

Yes and no you can be moral
But you can't have objective morality without an objective standard

A society can decide something is moral without God.
Someone can be good without believing in God. Many people who don't believe in God are good people and many who do believe in God are not good people.

But God is necessary for the concept of an objective morality.

If he agrees with me then I'm completely safe since he doesn't want a society thats weak to internal and external threats, he also doesn't want to be on guard himself or fear for his relatives. If he was like me and pointed a gun at me then he would have an extremely viable reason to do so
>Utilitarianism breaks down in an individual level
Well luckily I'm not an individualist, its horse shit, we all belong to some kind of community unless we purposefully alienate ourselves from it, what you are describing is an antisocial psychopath, there is no religious or utilitarian reasoning that can stop a person like that, only force will, vast majority of people are not antisocial psychopaths though

>morality comes from "god"
Morals long preceded organized religions by tens of thousands of years.
All your purpose and morality comes from within you, if you're not an NPC who sold off these faculties to a bunch of Middle-Eastern merchants.
All human morals are established by humans, including the ones in your bible. The ones I follow just don't have the Jewish fairy tale aspect to it.
Even animals have certain morals that allow them to survive and cooperate in a group, i.e. helping each other when in danger and sharing food.
If you claim that morality (i.e. objectively good behavior) comes from your "god", then here's how you prove it:
1. Prove your "god" exists
2. Prove your "god" is benevolent enough to follow his moral code, and
3. Prove your "god" is the author of said moral code, not the humans who actually wrote them.
Don't worry, you'll never get past step 1.
>>
>>526000581
Depends on how you define morality.

Within the context that you seem to be suggesting that morality is derived from a set of religious beliefs based in deism of some sort, and if we contextualize that further relative to the correlative moralistic principles of modern religion and the lack of adherence by the majority of practitioners versus societal expectations....

The simple, objective answer: Yes.
>>
>>526000581
Yes, as long as you have a brain.
>>
>>526000581
Morality is wholly independent of God, as can be clearly seen from the fact that religious doctrines on right and wrong differ from one another and change over time, i.e. all morality is wholly man-made and only attributed to a divine source in a post-hoc rationalization
>>
>>526000581
As long as you have empathy then you don't need God. The problem is that the 'believers' in America don't have any so they need some higher power to tell them that testing others badly isn't a good thing.
>>
>>526001032
>I'd argue it's ONLY possible to be moral without god

True. Because if you are just doing the right thing for the heavenly reward, you're a moral sell-out.
>>
>>526011493
Morality is also subjective which is the clearest proof of its indifferent retardation. I'm going to paraphrase because I'm old and retarded. But there was a man from the edge of gaul whose brother was killed in rome. When he died his brother cut out his heart to eat for it was the only way he could ascend to heaven... Upon seeing this atrocity he was killed and they for his viciousness and both of their bodies burned... A practice those from gaul believed doomed them to hell.

I don't think that's necessarily true. You are just passing the subjectivity to a more powerful entity.
Given that, I think it's entirely possible to have an objective morality without a god by the same sort of mechanism it's just your society holds some moral axioms as objective.
In this way you end up with something akin to how the US set up its laws.
Objective moral truth would be like what is in the constitution and applied everywhere in society. So let's say free speech for example.
Subjective moral truth would be anything not in that objective writ. So like Kentucky saying you can't feed ice cream to a horse on Sunday.

>>526000581
the very origin of the word is Latin mos, and Latins called their mos not mos Deorum but mos Maiorum, the custom/law of the forefathers; in their mind, their morality was defined by what their forefathers did, even if of course back in the iron age there was obviously no definite distinction between profane and sacred

and it's pretty obvious to see that linking morality to divinity is a priestly technique to make it appear stronger

>>526011868
Then it becomes subjective, though
An eternal cause of everything is the closest you can get to an objective moral standard

>>526000581
A lot theists are entirely in or amoral, kikes, muslims, jeets, many christians, so of course it isnt a guarantee to morality to be a believer, and many atheists can be moral, but being indoctrinated helps for a people to behave in a certain way.
>>
>>526001065
>But you need someone to enforce the morality,

Elders, Leaders, Men. Those are the enforcers. If they fail, it's on the lessers. If they fail, their civilization fails. You don't need a god to enforce shit, you just need men with strength of character and a strong cohesive in-group.

It reverts to Elder reverence, but wisdom and morality aren’t always the same play. A very wise elder calculates with morality in mind, but always defers to an outcome based system.

You misinterpret the claim. The claim isn't you need a sky daddy, the claim is the fact that you DONT need a sky daddy stands as proof of a law giver.
You have rules inside that you didn't put there and that you often struggle against. Those rules came from somewhere.
You are trying to claim moral objectivity exists without a moral standard while living under a moral standard.

All humans posses spirituality as the quality of being a fragment of God with consciousness along with nature itself. Morality is the natural evolution of spirituality and with it comes elevated consciousness and with elevated consciousness comes more energy and more of the divine spark itself. There is not a person on this earth without spirituality despite their claims. Religion is just a construct built on top of spirituality to draw its power into material power for itself often at the cost of its own. It is parasitic in nature.

Morality is a selective pressure that allows cooperation. Only cooperation allows for greater expansion. It is evident in human co-domestication. Our physical bodies are lagging our advancements but the spirit can be grown to help us surpass those limits with a fusion of spirituality and technology.

The world will grow more moral and more weird at the same time.

Jews don't have morality.
Anyhow, a belief in God renders the morals attributed to him epistemologically objective.
It is not without good reason that every single society throughout history had some sort of God(s), with the exception of modern Western society, which is slowly dying.

circumcision is objectively immoral
but apparently god told abraham to do it (a real god would never), and when he came down to earth he didn't abolish it (a real god would)
