    Also I don’t think Christ would return if we were all being cool to each other, so they’re admitting they’re just trying to push humanity more off track.

    How does that help you in God’s judgement? I’m pretty sure disrespecting all of his creation and doing the opposite of everything Jesus stood for won’t go well.

    I’m agnostic, but selfishly I would not purposefully try to hasten driving myself to hell/damnation if I believed in it.

    Thankfully the values my mom taught me are the same ones Jesus taught: love your neighbour as yourself and do unto others as you would have done to you.

      This is what baffles me when my dad argues with me for being left of center.

      You sent me where they taught this, did you not want me to learn it?

      (Also not religious, but kept some of the philosophy)

        There’s a lot of good Christian teachings that just make the world better regardless of your fear of eternal punishment or any god.

        While outside my education I’m sure most religions too, but too many people get caught up in casting out others, or hating the non believers, or doling out punishments they have no right to.

      “The ends justify the means”, or something.
