Bogus. There is a logical reason to stand up for what they see as wrong: because they don't like watching what they consider "wrong" happen.
An theists have no purpose for their life other than what their invented religions claim.
An no atheists have defended morals? Now that's a startling...
Of course INTENTIONALLY created things have a purpose. And I would disagree with you about the calculator's purpose. Since I'm using it to harm somebody, its purpose is to harm.
But "to be thrown" may have not been its designated purpose.
An inventor invents the calculator to calculate. I throw it at somebody. During the throw, what is its purpose?
It reflects my life. I choose how to use it, just as I choose how to use the stone.
How I use the stone defines its purpose. How I use my life defines its purpose.
Both. People have diverse personal interests, and they therefore have diverse forms of law.
The first law is created by people who don't like watching others be killed.
The second law is created by people who like watching people being killed.
Both are valid.
I didn't say it was.
I didn't create the stone, but I'm throwing it at a window. Can we deduce from this information that the purpose of the stone, in this instance, is to be thrown?
With God and the law, is this not what the world is like?
Naturally. The absence of murder enhances survival. Social disharmony is also detrimental to survival, and thus theft, rape, and other "crimes" are included.
No, it won't. It balances. Law is created by people who don't like watching people kill others.
Yes, that's what subjective means... how does this make no sense? When I said "good person" before, I meant a good person in your eyes, based on what you personally believe a "good person" constitutes.
Did you read the rest of my post? If I don't like you killing people, I'm going to try to prevent it. If it makes you feel good, go out and do it, but I'm going to try to stop you, because that would make me feel good.
Morality is subjective. In Hitler's perspective, yes. In my perspective, no.
So it has a purpose, you just don't know it, because you're not God. How convenient. How do you know God didn't say, "I'm just going to create this for no particular reason."
Then go ahead. If it makes you feel good, you must be meant for it. It doesn't make me feel good, however--something about the blood and extinguishment of another's life just doesn't make me feel mentally sound--so I don't think I'll participate. In fact, I'm going to stop you, because I don't...
