Sam Harris added,
They've conflated good with 'God' & don't see it comes from them. This is excellent explanation.https://www.amazon.com/Everybody-Wrong-About-James-Lindsay/dp/1634310365/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1474667546&sr=1-1&keywords=everybody+is+wrong+about+god …
most of us have natural good drives but I would argue some element of faith can help reinforce them.
You can channel it through them, yes. Or you can get very confused abt what good actually is & kill a load of ppl
if "good" has no fully objective basis can it be stable? Faith can help add an objective status to a precept
No. It can just make people think they have one. It may or may not be conducive to human wellbeing.
