“Morals do exist outside of organized religion, and the ‘morality’ taught by many of these archaic systems is often outdated, sexist, racist, and teaches intolerance and inequality. When a parent forces a child into a religion, the parent is effectively handicapping his or her own offspring by limiting the abilities of the child to question the world around him or her and make informed decisions. Children raised under these conditions will mature believing that their religion is the only correct one, and, in the case of Christianity, they will believe that all who doubt their religion’s validity will suffer eternal damnation. This environment is one that often breeds hate, ignorance, and ‘justified’ violence.” ChildrenMoralityInequalityRacistSexistBible InterpretationQuestion EverythingHereditary Religion Book:Disproving Christianity and Other Secular Writings Source: Disproving Christianity and Other Secular Writings
“Would a just God sentence a morally good individual to hell for never having heard of him? And for that matter, would a just God expel a morally good individual to hell who has heard of Jesus, but simply finds no evidentiary reason to believe? According to any reasonable interpretation of Christianity’s key doctrines, the answer is a simple and firm 'Yes.' This is because, according to Christian dogma, it is impossible to be 'moral' without Jesus Christ; I disagree with this on a fundamental level.” MoralityWorshipMorality Without ReligionDavid G Mcafee Book:Disproving Christianity and Other Secular Writings Source: Disproving Christianity and Other Secular Writings
“When you etch your moral code in stone, you have no room for editing. You leave open the possibility that, as our ethical views evolve, your code becomes less relevant. You could find yourself with four of ten divine moral laws describing how to treat God and zero that prohibit rape or slavery.” MoralityEvolveTen CommandmentsMoral Code10 CommandmentsStone Tablet Author:David G.

“What we now call "morality" was evolved – as nearly all social and physical human attributes were – to aid us in survival and, ultimately, reproduction. This morality requires only that we be guided by our developed conscience (or "moral sense") – and not a God or gods.” MoralityConscienceMoral SenseEvolution Of MoralityMoral Landscape Author:David G.
