Even if ethics is more or less there because of society (more or less what you are saying, I think) it’s still about what you should and should not do...

Fair enough, I do assume I should not have used the word ‘reliable’ twice in different contexts.

I partially agree. I will try to explain why I think we need to test things infinitely to be indefinitely flawed. Let’s say you wanted to prove that y...

I suppose it does. The God of the Old and New Testaments, Qur’an and many others differ greatly, and yet the atheist supposedly believes in none of th...

I’ll leave the words ‘atheism, God, and exist’ open to you to decide for yourself because I want this question to receive as many viewpoints as possib...
