It must make for difficult interpersonal relationships for you.<br /><br />This ability to empathise with our fellow man is one of the evolved features which made us successful because it enables us to work and live together in cooperative groups. If you're interested, I have an article on that very subject. See <a href="http://rosarubicondior.blogspot.com/2012/04/religion-abdication-of-moral.html" rel="nofollow">Religion: An Abdication Of Moral Responsibility</a><br /><br />I liked your attempt to give the impression that you somehow occupy a moral high-ground because you have a primitive superstition and believe in magic, by the way. A lot of Christians seem to use religion for that.Rosa Rubicondiorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063268216781988588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583674511519808833.post-45378396863564297182013-11-27T00:39:58.125+00:002013-11-27T00:39:58.125+00:00I like your efforts to present articulate and well...I like your efforts to present articulate and well-reasoned arguments. As a Christian, I also enjoy the irony of your last paragraph, which uses terms such as "hatred and violence" as if these are somehow "wrong" - a notion that, in the strictest utilitarian, pragmatic, evolutionary sense, can not be true unless there is some sort of Sovereign around to make it so. Moreover, unless you can prove absolutely that violence and/or hatred NEVER accomplish anything positive (a child reacting constructively to hateful teasing for example, by becoming more compassionate and aggressively helpful toward others who are disenfranchised or bullied), or that the positive that is accomplished is ALWAYS less than the overall positive results if the hate/violence didn't happen - than you have no moral or ethical grounds to ever take a definitive stand against any perceived "wrong" committed by religion or anything else. That is, unless YOU are god over and above all the rest of us.Nathan McKinneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783905971646472378noreply@blogger.com
