" If there's no God, there's not good or evil ' No murder, no rape, no cruelty? These things come from God? Then why do we blame and punish individuals?

If there's no God, there's not good or evil God or no God there would still be good and evil. It does not surprise me that you and Greg sum up your faith, creed and beliefs in that one statement. Greg will submit to any authority good or evil Message 26099667 and even steal because normal rules of conduct don't apply to him. Message 25943257 "As a being of volitional consciousness, [man] knows that he must know his own value in order to maintain his own life. He knows that he has to be right; to be wrong in action means danger to his life; to be wrong in person, to be evil, means to be unfit for existence . . . No man can survive the moment of pronouncing himself irredeemably evil; should he do it, his next moment is insanity or suicide." "Thinking is man’s only basic virtue, from which all the others proceed. And his basic vice, the source of all his evils, is that nameless act which all of you practice, but struggle never to admit: the act of blanking out, the willful suspension of one’s consciousness, the refusal to think—not blindness, but the refusal to see; not ignorance, but the refusal to know. It is the act of unfocusing your mind and inducing an inner fog to escape the responsibility of judgment—on the unstated premise that a thing will not exist if only you refuse to identify it, that A will not be A so long as you do not pronounce the verdict “It is.” "In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit." "The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. Whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles." Ayn Rand
