Keeping to the question I put to Gurnelista.
You state a humanist perspective of basing moral decisions on the foundations of the ‘golden rule’…empathy…perfect life…etc. I put it to you as well Siderite,if there is no God ( which the humanist claims),if someone comes along and thinks the complete opposite..doesn’t want empathy,perfect life,etc and wants to destroy and get all you stuff etc,if there is no God,how do you DEFEND your position you are right and they are wrong?
