Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal by Zach Weinersmith for May 24, 2021

As I suspected all along!

Is that a new phenomenon?

No, it’s an Old One.

Atheism is not a type of religion, like not having cancer is not a type of cancer.

Athe accepts ritual human sacrifice. Is human sacrifice ethical? Let’s ask.

And agnostics believe in the great god “Agnos”.

Some even believe that “He” has a goddess wife… “Agnes”.

/S

The Universe is my higher power

Athe walks into a bar and orders a beer…

No we don’t. Nice try though.

Have you seen that god-dude from the bible? I mean, talk about lack of ethics and morality! It’s a good thing people know better than to really follow that guy. Like I always say, “If people believed like they say they do, they’d be in jail.”

One cannot have ethics without following a religion? There are several ways to learn ethics outside of religion, or one can learn ethics and then shed religion. No, religion is more often used to judge the ethics of others.

I know a lot of atheists who are more moral & trustworthy than theists.

Removing you from my daily comics!!!

Ethics has less to do with religion and more to do with social adaptation and integration. And a sense of empathy.

Belief in a “higher power” has never seemed to me to be that much of an impediment to unethical behavior by theists. Strangely, they usually can come up with quotes from their scriptures that justify doing exactly what they want to do, no matter how horrific the consequences may be to others.
