How Do Atheists Decide What Is Good And What Is Bad?

Is it conscience or upbringing.( Romans 2:14)

[Old_Geezer]

Well you've done that GL so you can take a break now.

[goodlife]

You see some struggle to respond to their conscience.

I say the answer has to do with conscience,a given faculty that helps us to look squarely at ourselves and judge our actions and intentions. Conscience is our inner sense of right and wrong, so with you time will tell.
That why you see people learn the hard way

[RATTER15]

Goodlife, why do you think you can convert people when all you do is irritate people with your constant babble?

You are achieving nothing apart from convincing people that JW,s are nothing more than an irritation!

[RATTER15]

Goodlife //You see some struggle to respond to their conscience.//

so who are these people? and how do you come to such a conclusion?

[naomi24]

Goodlife, //That why you see people learn the hard way //

That makes no sense at all. If, as you say, the penalty for non-belief is death, how do non-believers learn the lesson? Once they're dead, they're dead - and hence, oblivious.

@Goodlife Before you go casting aspersions on the state of other peoples conscience - should you not first objectively check your own?

All of us who post here regularly, and respond to your posts have plenty of evidence to show that you regularly cut and paste screeds of text without attribution, which is intellectually dishonest; By your actions - reposting whole from the JW website you continue to propagate lies and misrepresentations ( see the whole nonsense about local newspapers in the UK and how they all fell over themselves to repost little homilies provided by a JW), and you reject science and promote anti-scientific thinking when it comes to fundamental theories, like evolution.

How clear is your own conscience, goodlife? Isn't there a line in the bibble somewhere about "he who casts the first stone"?
