Subject: RE: BS: The 'moral' Atheist?
I see no reason for religiosity to enter into the question of what is good or evil. People strive for survival, and measure goodness to the degree that it seems to strengthen the future existence of the things they consider are part of them--selves, families, societies, and species, belongings, etc. Because of this common trait, most folks look on productive, cnstructive acts as more good, and destructive ones as more evil, depending on context.

No religion involved, but a perfectly good working definition. Why go off-shore?
