    Ok.

    God isn’t real. If a being of infinite power does exist, it is apathetic, ignorant, or cruel.

    If the source of your objective morality is a fairy tale, you have no basis for claiming your morality is objective, let alone accurate.

      How do you define cruelty without God being real? How can you know for sure that God is apathetic or ignorant?

      If there is no basis for objective morality at all, we have no grounds to condemn other cultures for actions that go against our culture. I would condemn cruelty happening abroad because I believe everyone is made in the image of God, and God’s commandment for all of Humanity was to love one and other. If God isn’t real, then why should I care what happens in other countries, if the only morality I have is based on my white, western culture?

      If there is no God, humans are just lumps of cells anyway, not too far removed from plants and animals. So why would it be my business what is going on abroad?
