it's definitely fucked, really reminds me of the old back and forth about religion. when people start debating about the topic it's not uncommon for religious people to say something along the lines of
>athiests are bad people. if they don't believe in god then they don't think he's watching to condemn or reward them for their actions so they can just do whatever bad things they wantit's so absurd to me to think that people who say this must think solely in terms of personal consequences. seemingly the only reason they have to not fuck over people at every turn is fear of divine punishment. like in their mind literally the only thing standing between an athiest and murder is the legal system.
i don't even think it necessarily stems from religion for a lot of the people who make that sort of argument. legitimately saddens me to think people grow up in an environment so completely devoid of empathy or anyone who will actually take the time to explain to them why things are the way they are that they end up believing the only reason you shouldn't punch someone in the face is because you'll get in trouble
the obvious answer is that it all circles around to shitty parents which is another tangent that really boils my blood but you already know what i mean
