If we're all godless animals without any real meaning to our existence, then fuck all y'all, gimme mine. None of this shit matters anymore. But then, maybe I'm just a bad person
Hm, funny. I feel exactly the same way too, even though I don't believe in a creator. It's just that I can't be convinced there isn't one either.
I don't really see a reason to NOT help someone. I don't think that I would do less good, I'd just do more bad. Selfish acts that benefit myself that I would no longer find 'morally wrong' because nothing actual means anything and there really isn't much of a right and wrong to speak of. I think that I just wouldn't give a fuck.
I'd say "wise words" if it wasn't for all that profanity
I too see no reason to not help someone, as long as it's convenient for me. That's why people/I would still do good even if it was certain there was no creator. Just would ignore all helping that isn't convenient.

That's really not a good country to compare to. Swedish people just go at everything by luck, that's why they have everything so good there.

I'd like to ask all of you a question, I think it's relevant to the discussion. Now play along as if this were a real situation.
Say you're on a vacation to some unknown country. In this country it is considered an honor to kill your children if they are born female. You for some reason happen to witness a woman giving birth to two female babies. Her husband looks at the babies for a short while and then kills them.
Will you:
a) Stand in shock for a while and think about how insane this is
b) Try to intervene and stop the man from killing the babies
c) Just shrug your shoulders and think " Oh well, whatever's the custom here"
