“If I abandon a Christian worldview, I see no plausible reason - other than purely selfish reasons - to be a Moral person.”
Selfish reasons to be moral?
I thought being selfish meant you would NOT observe morals?
But, hey, morality allows us to live in large groups. And operate independently, as we’re able to trust and be trusted. There are plenty of rewards for being moral, even if there aqre no gods.
"In fact, [and I know this will be contraversial] but I believe that many of these crimes are strictly due to a lack of the Christian worldview,”
Oh, noes! The only thing keeping you moral is a fear of divine justice!
“although, paradoxically I find that many Christians [?] engage is such activities.”
So, the Xian worldview does…fuck-all?
“If Christianity is proven false, do what you wanna do, as long as you come out alive and on top, Who cares...”
Funny thing, the lack of a god has notmade me immoral. I still keep my wedding vows, observe nuclear weapon safety rules, cassified document handling, charity, traffic laws… I think your premise is fucked.
"pure Hedonism is championed.”
Sounds more like prosperity gospel.
“Does that answer your question?”
It’s AN answer. Not much of one, though.
