Re: [MD] “Atheism alone is the surest way to morality”

[gav]

ooooh i didn't like the sound of that.

"atheism shifts the basis of morality from faith in
god to obligations of social living. Moral conduct is
not a passport to heaven; it is social necessity.” 

aherm....well we in the west can vouch for the moral
efficacy of an unenlightened atheistic society...works
like a charm!! (a really crappy plastic one that is).

methinks we will hear more about this wanker, cos he
is ideologically useful to the west.

it ain't about faith; its about knowledge; it's about
self-knowledge. and self-knowledge leads to identity
with the universe/god/whatever; it leads to seeing
others *as yourself*; feeling this reality of absolute
kinship with all is oneness. this is spirituality.
this is intelligence; this is aesthetic/moral
awareness. this awareness is constantly being dulled
by immersion in a loud/ego-based/ugly environment.
