you should join the Olympics, you had to make a crazy logical leap to get to that conclusion. wtf does a belief in religion have anything to do with any of the shit you just spouted? you do know people can value human life without doing it because a bearded man the clouds said you should, right?

i digress, the point of my original reply was to point out that "Christian compassion" is little more than a fairy tale (like the bible), and "Christians" are no saints, if anything the bulk are real shitheads who think their shittiness is excused because "muh confessions" or "jebus died for my sins". consider how many have killed in the name of your sky daddy, where was the concern for preservation of life then? funny how people like you pick and choose what parts of the bible apply and when.

if you want to be a good person, be a good person. you don't need santa claus to tell you to do so, or to entice you with some promise of a utopia in the afterlife.

What a poor existence, an aimless pursuit when all the answers you've been handed at your birth already...

how boring your life must be to throw up your hands and say "welp, bible says it all" rather than seeking the truth for yourself. have you even done a lab in any of your science courses before, or do you think science is the devil? the text explains it, the lab demonstrates it. one can explain via dissection of the demonstration. why live a life resigned to reading the text book while neglecting the actual pursuit of understanding yourself? you sound like a good sheep. i guess the "shepherd" will protect you, there's a good reason they likened his congregation to a heard of sheep - dumb and unthinking followers .

tell me, were the answer to the tides, planetary orbit, aerodynamics, propulsion, etc. "handed at [my] birth"? no, scientists studied and researched to find the truth. "if i can see anything it's because i stand on the shoulders of giants (paraphrasing)". there's still a lot more for us to learn, resigning yourself to the confines of the bible is laughable.

Maya's used to make human sacrifices by the thousands in one day, roll human heads down pyramids of people who WON the games because they thought they were "good persons" for it. They appeased their "good" gods of harvest with those offerings.

Canaanites would put their children still alive in the building foundations for good luck, because they thought it was a "good person" thing to do.

Romans would make huge spectacles where wild animals would be turned loose onto dozens of people inside an arena and it was a special occasion that every "good" citizen of Rome would love to attend.

Jews used to sacrifice children for their god Moloch...ehhh..nvm, they still do it...But

the point is...Do you even know where your morality stems from, your so called "goodness". It's nothing but a temporal fad without our Lord's commandments---which it originates from in the first place...

Good person, lol.

literally everything you just said was nonsense and non sequiturs, and in no way disproves my point. the existence of bad sky daddies doesn't justify your "good" sky daddy. using religion to claim NON RELIGIOUS BELIEFS stem from religion is asinine at best. you can't be serious with that line of reasoning, can you? wtf do Mayans or Jews have to do with NON RELIGIOUS persons' beliefs?! did you really miss my point that hard?

Communism worships nothing or so it claims. Mao, Stalin, they've sent more people to their graves than anyone in history. You're nothing without Jesus, zero worth.

communism isn't a religion. seriously, wtf are you talking about? every reply is totally disconnected from the parent. you're just spewing utter nonsense.
