This seems painfully obvious to me. Why would an Athiestic society reward parasites? If someone seeks to benefit from a group; yet contributes absolutely nothing to the group .... what group would want them? Without regard to Christian, Hindu, Wiccan, Islamic or any host of other diety worship; why would any group want a member of their society who neither particated or contributed to the society - yet demanded to share in the benefits of that society?
Wouldn’t this just be natural law?
As far as the nasty comments at Reason..
‘You who are on the road
must have a code
that you can live by’...
They become useful idiots that vote for liberals. In a a NORMAL society, people let lazy deadbeats starve.
Because every single member of that society hopes to get out far more than they contributed. It's the liberal/progressive way. That's why Godless societies always collapse.
You must be kidding. Religion and religious "leaders" have been parasites on their victim societies since people started living in caves.
The first fat, lazy, parasitic, cowardly, religious leader was the guy who didn't want to risk getting stomped by the mammoth, so he created some fairy tale to convince the other men that he should remain behind with the women and children, yet because of this fairy tale, he should generously share in the rewards of the hunt (in addition to having the women and children for prey in the absence of the real men).
Thus has it always been. God certainly does not favor such deceitful, evil behavior.
