  @dagda@netzsphaere.xyz @snacks@netzsphaere.xyz @waltercool@pl.slash.cl I don't understand why some atheists insist on objective morality. It's obviously farcical, since there's no cosmic entity dictating how you must behave, punishing you if you don't, and so on. Pol Pot died a peaceful death surrounded by loved ones. A mistake some people seem to make is thinking that if there's no objective morality, that you then have no right to impose morals on others, and would therefore have no justification to punish immoral behavior; even heinous murderers. But that, in and on itself, would be a moral judgment. If there's no objective morality, you can't tell me whether I can or cannot impose my subjective morals on others. I can. And I will. :blobcat-devil: Jokes aside, I can simply "impose my morals on others" by supporting a sensible legal system. Doing so neither requires belief in a god, nor is it precluded by disbelief in one. I simply want to do it. So I do.
