Every day "I do unto others as I would have them do unto me."
It's fuckin innate common sense!
I don't need some crazy ancient books to tell me that.
Christian's only have two choices: Obey God or burn in hell forever!"
There are other options, such as don't obey and don't burn in hell because it doesn't exist; and still do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Why do I need forgiveness from an invincible mass murderer?
My morality is derived from tribal utility borne of generations of human evolution. Good social behaviour is necessary to advance a species. “Morality” is behaviour that keeps you safe. Killing, raping, and stealing, are not conducive to remaining safe from reprisal. We behave, “morally” to minimize threat to our own safety. We learned through evolution that survival requires lowering risk to ourselves.
Good morality is how we reduce risk. Morality does not come from the Bible.
If you concede that only GOD stops you from doing bad things, then you are a bad person who is only kept in check by your own cowardice.
Sadly, what I do know: is that I too many times see the lack of morality in the actions of many professed religious people and movements.
Enough of your bullshit, TriTorch! Just present the evidence for the existence of the divine. Gods only exist in the minds of people who need him to give them answers to questions they want to hear.
We all need to stop wasting our time trying to please the supernatural and concentrate on improving the welfare of human beings.
"My morality is derived from tribal utility [...]."
So is the morality of the 0.01% currently engaged in a global cull-and-control agenda to create the global digital gulag of Agenda 21-2030. Good luck in your engagements with that 'morality'.

WTF are you ranting about, Sheila?
Off your meds again I see.
Which bit did you not understand, Dennis?
Why do you limit yourself to ad homs to avoid dealing with actual issues?
