why do so many people believe in the concept of good and evil?
>>2047084
why not, are you too good for it? beyond it? pretentious keklord.
>>2047084
It's easy.
>>2047084
Because it is based around the concept of "Objective morality" and despite all of the faggots on 4chan who argue "subjective morality is da only one dat exists!!!xDDDD" no one wants to live in a society where the majority of the populous believes every action like pedophilia, murder, rape, ect. isnt really "wrong" but only seems so to certain groups of individuals.
>>2047099
it is
1. subjective
2. simplifying
3. has no actual basis
4. in a historical context influenced by the winners
>its not about being to good for it, it is aout thinking about it
>>2047136
but what if its not about morality but about survival.
>murder is bad because there are less humans
>pedophilia is bad because its not possible to multiply and the kid has a tendency to be against future sexual act
>rape is bad because the possibility of a pregnancy is higher with to aroused partners
ect
>>2047155
No man that is just kinda silly
>murder is bad because there are less humans
murder is bad because you are killing someone who has not threatened you or your people in a life threatening way (aka an innocent)
>pedophilia is bad because its not possible to multiply and the kid has a tendency to be against future sexual act
Only an autist would actually propose this (im not saying you are im guessing your shooting off these ideas off the top of your head)
Pedophilia is wrong because children aren't intelligent enough to properly give consent and as such is innately immoral (the same could be said as a person who sexually abuses a mentally ill person)
>rape is bad because the possibility of a pregnancy is higher with aroused partners
Be honest anon, if your mother, sister, friend, distant relative or God forbid your wife was raped you know in your heart you wouldnt be angry because she most likely wont conceive - in fact id imagine most people would be hoping the rape wouldnt result in a baby.

pretty good points

They look like the same old trite golden rule
>>2047084
The more interesting question is why so many people believe you should be good
>>2047241
depending on your opionion either because of the influence of your bad behaviour on your social status or because of a natural barrier the majority of humans have to do the better thing, if they are having the choice
>>2047241
Because people value those around them that they love :) the only people who would actively have no incentive to be a good person would be a sociopath.
>>2047267
Actually let me correct this
* A sociopath who also doesnt believe in any religion/sense of Karma/ immortal soul/ metaphysical judgement
