In one of the threads someone made the claim:

God is goodness.

When asked for substantiation, the response was:

Agreed, at least theoretically.

Unfortunately, []afterlife has been shown to be anything other than theoretical / hypothetical (or wishful thinking, religious propaganda, opinion, etc)

First, let’s get the quote right and complete AND without changing its meaning.

Agreed, at least theoretically.

Unfortunately, neither objective morality nor afterlife has been shown to be anything other than theoretical / hypothetical (or wishful thinking, religious propaganda, opinion, etc)

Notice that words in red are critical to the statement

We strive to preserve our creations, memories, experiences, lessons learned to the extent we can, so that our efforts are not in vain

We can leave what we write, build (and perhaps what we influence). We may remain in the memory of others for a time.

Why do you think God would choose to discard them?

I do not pretend to know what any of the proposed ‘gods’ would choose

Why would that be a logical default assumption?

I see no logic at all in making assumptions about ‘gods’ – much less, ‘default assumption’

You still have not answered what the third thing is that is the standard you use to judge between different human views of morality or argued why a third thing is not needed. Do you have a further response to that?

Human morality is worth having, the evil sky fairy's idea of morality isn't moral, it is evil.
