Hi Sammy Jean,

I said we humans need to use our innate ability to empathize.
​
In one of your earlier posts you mentioned this was hardwired in us.
​
My question is, how, where, and why did this innate ability get hardwired into us?
​
God Bless,

I was merely pointing out that I find God's "morality" objectionable and would not consider his proclamations to be moral, so even if I did believe in him, I wouldn't think he was a great god.
​
What is so objectionale about God's morality?
​
There is much that is objectionale about the morality of religion.
​
The God I serve gave me two rules to live by.
​
1. Love God with everything you are.
​
2. Love your neighbor as much as you love yourself.
​
Now you and everybody else here can dispense with number one.
​
But if everyone in the world would keep number two.
​
Our jails would be empty.
​
There would be no homeless.
​
There would be no hunger.
​
There would be no pain inflicted by one human being on another.
​
Now please explain how us making decisions as to what is moral or what is not moral is better than that.
​
God Bless,
