Greatest quote on morality vs religious dogma
In the presentation 'Why We Believe in Gods' at the American Atheist 2009 convention, Andy Thomson delivers a beautifully succinct crack upside the head of religion's claim to morality. It's this, 35 minutes into the talk:
MORALITY & RELIGION
- Morality is doing what is right, regardless of what we are told.
- Religious dogma is doing what we are told, no matter what is right.
I don't know whether that originates with Mr Thomson, but I myself have never heard the distinction expressed so eloquently.
Watch the whole presentation for yourself:
Well put, no?
