The guy’s an idiot.Kindness is the manifestation of the Spirit within a Christian.
Absolutely wrong. Kindness comes from a sense of not expecting anything in return. Solely for the sake of helping - nothing else.
This is an ATTACK on Christianity and the spiritual beliefs of others.
His point is to what, replace all other religions with his religion?
What a complete ass.
Where does altruism come from?
“If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject.”
—Ayn Rand
Pitiful and kind of funny.
Oh well, we can await their signs on climate change and opening our doors to all immigrants (that is, the doors of the country, most certainly not the doors to their houses).
Ok, where does altruism come from then?
It is pitiful.All these people scurrying around,trying to cling onto anything but the truth.
Atheists will claim that their sense of right and wrong comes from themselves, and that they don’t need any outside influence. They’re intellectually dishonest, however, if they say they don’t have bad as well as good impulses, because I know I do. I’m a potential monster, but it’s my belief in a higher power that keeps me from being one. True, I am conditioned by society, but I believe that conditioning originates from religious values. That’s probably the point which atheists disagree with.
Nothing new.
Isaiah 14
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Psalm 2 King James Version (KJV)
2 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
They might want to keep the “crazy eyes” off their billboards... just sayin’
Altruism and kindness are essentially the same thing. So they are saying kindness comes from kindness. We call this begging the question.
Define “good”
Hard to define “good”...
because what I consider good is considered evil by others, and vice versa.
I guess it comes down to who can force everyone else to accept his definition of “good”, now doesn’t it?
Somebody thinks that these idiots know what “altruism” is?
