Atheism : Love it or Leave it? - Part 2

[hopefuldreamer]

See, I think that's the problem with our country in particular (the USA) we are force fed to be self relient. It may be a fact in some other countries, but ours in particular has a huge issue with this. It's given us an ego...it's made us spoiled children, rejecting any kind of authority. It's why we are so selfish and unconcerned with the lives of others. It's made us cold and hard hearted.

I think if the England riots are proving anything, it's that being reliant on the government to survive makes people spoiled children who reject authority and are unconcerned with the lives of others... Not self reliance.

Freedom from the whims of merciless dictators does not mean we know nothing of authority or respecting others.

It just means we have the right to decide on our own laws, our own authority, by way of votes and elections.

It's not a perfect system, but it's the fairest one we have.
