Most people are unaccustomed to considering moral issues, at all, in any sort of systematic, scientific, logical manner, but that is, after all, what the study of #Philosophy entails, and #Politics is merely "Applied #Morality", so the terms "deontology" and "teleology" are unfamiliar to them.

A #deontological morality determines rectitude by logical derivation from axioms and postulates, whereas a #teleological morality is one which determines rectitude by intentions or consequences.

150 (or so) Arguments for #Atheism

"A popular view in contemporary #analytic #philosophy of #religion is that while there are many arguments for #theism -- #cosmological, #ontological, and #teleological arguments; #moral arguments; arguments from #consciousness; etc. (...) -- there are only one or two arguments for atheism, viz., the problem of #evil and (more recently) the argument from #divine hiddenness.

This is a misconception. Here are well over 150"
