Is morality self evident? Words spoken from legendary atheist actress.

[TheDarkCloud]

This came across my recommended videos in YouTube. I’ve seen this before but it’s been a minute and decide to watch it again.

Basically, she doesn’t believe that you need a higher power to tell you what’s right and what’s wrong. Why? Because, in her example, right makes her feel good and wrong makes her feel bad. She feels like a lot of people hide behind religion just as a way to make themselves have a happy time in the next world, which is illogical. She further says that she believes in Christ-like people - perfect people, which by her definition, are people who are not self absorbed and all about themselves. She says they are people who live to help others and be there for other people.

...amongst some other things. Just a cliff notes.

Y’all agree or nah? Keep it a buck.

Her logic is flawed and hedonistic.

To a Pedo fuking children feels good.
To a serial killer murdering people feels good.

Morality is based on societal tolerances.

Thats why slavery was/is okay in some societies, etc.

I think she was referring to people with basic human empathy.

She makes good points like, "helping people because you mean it from the heart not because of religion".

Nah. @Treblemaka is right. That kind of lifestyle is hedonistic because it means to do what feels right without consequence. If a rule is exclusive to anybody then it's already flawed...

In most of those cases those people know what they’re doing is wrong. It feels physically good, which is not what she’s talking about.
