"With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."

| There's no such thing as "good" people or "bad" people. There are just people who do good things and people who do bad things. That quote is stupid, and off chlola. |

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process, they do not become a monster; and when you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you.
^Both quotes pertain to "good" people doing evil things and neither take religion into account so, to answer your question, off! |

Sorry, but you're quite wrong about this. |

Wrong, if religious people do bad things, their God says it's good.
Logic. |

Please explain. If you're assuming that any person could be inherently good or bad, that's absurd. |

| All people are bad. So the whole argument doesn't make any sense. |

Well first, you have to objectively define what "good" and "bad" is; impossible. Then you have to clarify a set percentage of a person required to define them as a "good" or "bad" person; impossible.
I'd really like to know what you're trying to disagree with, because I don't think it's really possible for you to even define what a good or bad person is, and how you could possibly classify someone as objectively good or bad. |

I seem to remember that we've had this conversation, before. Your position seemed entirely too reliant on a shifting-sands premise. It was almost similar to a conversation I had when I was five about whether my blue might be seen as someone else's yellow. That is to say that one of us was seeing either blue or yellow but, since we'd been trained that it was called one or the other, one of us was actually thinking that the color yellow was called blue. Or was it the other way around?
It doesn't really matter because I'm not about to get into that conversation, again. |
