Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mononoke" data-source="post: 5582155" data-attributes="member: 238323">Ok you are right, there is no explicit moral code. There is nothing stopping atheists from raping and pillaging except the laws of civil society and some form of inherent compassion. But I feel that humans have a very strong disposition towards compassion and altruism. Alternatively, i don't believe in doing good things to avoid punishments or rewards; that is selfish.Think about this example. There are lots of people who point to instants of sanctioned violence in the Bible and the Quran. However, the Islamic community has time and time again pointed out that there are lots of other verses that which give a nonviolent message, and that the ultimate message of the Quran is a good one. Now can you make independent judgments about the quran without adhering to some form of internal moral compass.</blockquote>
