Of course I'm generalizing, there are people in this world who drink gasoline because they think it tastes good. This being stated, I think we're talking past one another, as one's position on gun control doesn't strike me as a moral position.

Well if you're generalizing you probably shouldn't use all-encompassing terms like "anyone"

That's the only reason I felt compelled to defend my position. I don't think morals are clear cut, the definition isn't very specific in and of itself:

Quote:

1.
of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical: moral attitudes.

Dude, gasoline goes great with any meal.

You really shouldn't drink gasoline, it could cause Leukemia.

I'm a Polytheist. I find it fascinating that there COULD be all these majestic gods and goddesses out there. I can't prove anything i just rather want to believe and i enjoy honoring them and talking with others that feel the same.

I prefer a nice huff, or even better, a juff.

I prefer this outcome to one of a vengeful God who will send someone like Jeffrey Dahmer to heaven for kissing his ass in the last month of his life, while I go through life trying to be a good person and living by a code that I find morally decent (one that doesn't embrace many of God's barbaric (imo) teachings) and will end up in hell.

What do you guys think? Religious and non-religious people alike.

To be blatantly honest, atheism is the main trigger of my depression. I experienced happiness being brought up to believe in god and euphoria when I discovered buddhist philosophy.

Nevertheless, my agnosticism and atheism in recent years leaves me with a great gap of unfulfilment; an existential crisis that Dawkins and others who think they are liberating people cannot seem to comprehend.

I realise that atheism is currently the most probable universal truth. However, as strange as it is to believe in imaginary friends, I think it is just as strange that we are here for no reason at all.

I don't take any comfort in that as it actually interferes with my morality in that I don't believe the universe is inherently moral. Everything is more determined by events 13.7 billion years ago which I don't know, as opposed to any illusion of free will I may have had in the past that motivated me to live with compassion.
