How Oxford and Peter Singer drove me from atheism to Jesus

108. Yep, much more to this story

One doesn't go full tilt one way to full tilt the other without some type of catalyst and the author is trying to convince someone ethics and reason are that catalyst. "Because god" just isn't the firm anchor of reason she suggests with zero argument for such a thing. A far simpler explanation is her alleged conversion was emotion based. It might be because of substance abuse, depression, she got dumped, or a number of other things, all of which would be far more believable.

I just have one question for anyone who makes similar claims. Would you still be a good person without your chosen religion? If the answer is yes, then religion brings nothing to the table in terms of ethics. If the answer is no, then one has to question if they ever were a good person. Most simply refuse to answer the question, which provides its own answer.

If someone needs an imaginary friend to justify their moral values, they never had any to begin with and still don't. They have just deluded themselves into believing otherwise and justify it with hocus pocus.
