Gardening is a good metaphor for life. Its about planning, using and replacing. Consumers are more hunter gatherers with no concern for replacing.
As for religion – Im all for bigger commitments than just me and now although I found the total absence of any women at the event unerving and diffcult.

There are many ideas in this post, viz, do you need a belief in an afterlife to be moral? and that shopping fills in the void left by the non-belief in religion. As regards the former, I can’t see that behaving decently is only justified if you are going to get rewarded for it. That would just be self-interest. A bit sad, no? Surely doing the decent thing (not stealing, lying, injuring others, stealing their parking places etc) should come naturally, whether or not we return to a random collection of atoms upon death? As for the second point, this is a conundrum. The “death of God” led the existentialists to an absurd universe. It may well be, but shopping sure isn’t the answer. Gardening would be a better bet, if no less absurd.

Was the Sheikh supporting chopping people’s hands off?

“We debated the place of morality and as non-believer in any God I was put on the spot about how we can be held to account for our morals if there is no afterlife to reward or punish us.”

Unfortunately, it’s a question that only really means anything within a religious framework. We can’t be held to account by God. We can be held to account by ourselves and other people. I agree we should probably believe in a better future as well as the here and now.
