We’ve developed conscience in addition to empathy because it helps to ensure our survival.
We’re a social species. We organize into social groups, in addition to conscience in addition to empathy are useful at maintaining cohesion inwards those groups.
It’s non at all surprising that natural choice would accept selected for those traits, if they made around groups of humans to a greater extent than successful than others.
There’s no argue to presume empathy or conscience come upward from supernatural beings. You may believe that they did, in addition to that’s fine, but belief isn’t the same every bit evidence.
Atheists (in general) don’t commit crimes because nosotros don’t desire to.
Either nosotros don’t desire the probable penalisation that volition come upward from having committed the crime, or to a greater extent than importantly, nosotros accept empathy for other people, in addition to nosotros exactly don’t desire to impairment them or drive them to last - because nosotros sympathize why suffering sucks.
We sense it, ourselves, in addition to nosotros tin hand the sack sympathize it inwards others.
That’s what empathy is.
As is thence oftentimes the example for these kinds of questions that I’m forced to remind people that if the alone affair that keeps people from raping, stealing, in addition to killing are prohibitions against those things inwards their selected religious text, thence that’s non morality.
That is exactly obedience.
And it is a much to a greater extent than flexible thing. Sumber http://www.dnbstories.com/
