Define 'morality' and give me an example of what is moral and what isn't. Don't just recite your Bible study notes over and over again.

I am an atheist. But thanks for exposing your contempt for the religious people. And please do tell, what is your problem with the Bible? It is a remarkable piece of literature.

Morality is rooted entirely in the presupposition that some higher power defines what is correct for human behavior.


Your definition of capitalism also fails. It is, essentially, the unrestricted trade between willing, non-coerced parties (IE - not under the threat of violence.)

So long as some one is willing to pay, there will always be someone willing to collect.

You may be an athiest but you sound like one of many folks who read a religious text (pick one - I just mentioned the most common) and repeat it over and over again without understanding it or being able to explain it.

So for the second time, what is morality? Not what is it that you think it is rooted in. And can you proove that it is rooted in what you keep repeating it is rooted in?

And no, your definition of capitalism is incorrect still.
