I wonder how he explains to himself how everything got here?

I guess this also explains why he’s so limp, has no backbone...
...after all, if you don’t believe in God, how can you believe in true Righteousness?

Exactly. There is no moral order without a supernatural pretext. Period. George is confused, but for him that’s situation normal.

I have yet to see an articulated basis for any morality of any kind absent a deity. If we are just random molecules, why on earth would anyone care about murder, theft, rape, or even being kind to another human. None of it would matter in the slightest, it’s just a social construct based on evolutionary preferences that maximized the growth of the species. But it’s not binding or even preferable in a modern age. So, why do they continue to feel bound by laws and morality?

Maybe he reads too many comments from so called Christian conservatives that are based in hatred.........I don't know........At least he's honest about it.

I'm with Will. And I doubt you could explain to me what "true Righteousness even means.

There's no disrespect intended toward Christianity in that -- just that your knee-jerk intolerance causes me to doubt your belief.
