Why is the term "Morality" a term that some Christians tend to use as a means of defining themselves from say, Atheists, and they specifically mention Christians having more
morals than Atheists, yet, morality is actually just a neutral term that both religious, and non-religious people can have equally.
Religious folk can have the exact same amount of morals as a non-religious person.
Even to quote someone so "infamous":
"Going out doesn't make you a bad person, just like going to Church doesn't make you a good person."
-Miley Cyrus
This could also be applied to morals, and church.
Going to church doesn't mean you have more morals than the next guy. Just because you go
to church, doesn't mean you are any better or worse of a person.
More of a rant than a discussion, but still suits.

Going to church doesn't make you more moral, just like going to the doctor doesn't make you healthier, going to the library doesn't make you more knowledgable, and going to the gym doesn't make you stronger. My point is [spoiler]You don't go to the doctors office to work out and you don't "go out" to become more moral. [/spoiler]

Edited by Ogma: Destroyer of Worlds: 5/20/2016 8:53:58 PMPersonally, I just think claims of infallible divine sources distorts it and makes it less genuine and reciprocal. Not saying that all religious people allow that to happen. Just that it's unnecessary, yet complicates things if they choose to allow it to dictate their decisions.

As much as I completely agree with you, Miley Cyrus might not be the best person to quote when talking about morals. I'd reccomend removing her name so people don't get hung up on that.

Read that as contraception, oops
