I know lots of vegans who think everyone should be vegan too.
i'm not sure what you mean by that. one can act lovingly and treat human life as something sacred without believing in a god. i've known many agnostics and atheists and they're just as loving as any religious people i know.
i agree...and maybe i misunderstood him but thought that's why he was saying one must act as tho they do....not sure tho.
The question is, which religion?It would be better imo if everyone accepted that everyone does and must act as if there is a God regardless of whether they claim there is a God or not. All known facts are based on unprovable beliefs.
I wonder if those same people would still go out and help the poor and hungry if they lost that reason.
will you expand on that last bit about the buddhists and taoists?
I think if you need to believe in god to care about other people, there's something wrong with you.
I'm gonna love people whether I decide I believe in a god or not. What.the.hell.

the feeling of right vs wrong doesn't stem from a spiritual place for everyone. it is not the fear of being punished in the after life that steers their actions.
I'm not speaking of feelings, spirituality, or fear. You are reading into my statements all kinds of things I have'nt even hinted at.
If someone is a materialistic atheist (nothing exists other than the physical and material world) they have no consistent basis for any values. They certainly may have values but they are being inconsistent unless they acknowledge that their values are nothing but an illusion... But almost everybody acts as if their values matter.
