This is what I had implied to me because I declared I was as capable, just as any other person was capable, of knowing right from wrong and at a very young age at that. I stated I had no need of "religion" to guide me, to point out behaviors that I myself knew were wrong and then to charge me a price for doing so. I said that is what arrogance is.
As a young child I knew from inside of me, from me, myself, and I, that if I hit my friends continually or lied or stole from them they would soon cease being my friends. Our genetic heritage has wired us to survive and this mean that we have learned by the process of evolution and adaptation that we need each other, that we cannot do this alone and we need to play fair. Those who did not do this, did not survive. (Yes, there is a percentage of society, the psychopaths, sociopaths, and others who, for reasons yet to be fully discovered do not fit into this mold and therefore need special treatment by society).
So, I maintain I am not arrogant because I use my innate abilities, personal experience, experience of others, critical thinking and history to guide me rather than a god or gods of which I have yet to see any evidence presented that makes me believe they exist. This does not mean than I close my mind to the possibility, but until I see evidence I am happy being the guide of my own life.
