Passionate anger
July 2, 2016 at 12:31 pm
How anyone can dislike religion when for the most part they preach "altruism". Even if preaching very often gets a bit annoying, they still only offer innocent ideas like "We have a recapie for a "very good" life, accept it or ...(and then it gets annoying).

But still, how "good deed" preachers can anger someone enough that he starts spamming angry posts towards God and his followers daily for many months and even years?

Religions do not preach altruism. Religions preach religion.

Do I have to be an ashole to be an atheist?

Altruism is nothing else than caring for your fellow humans. No religion required.

10 commandments demand less consumption more restrictions and altruism.

BS.

Just a primitive behavioral codex for a lawless society. Nothing altruistic in there. Unless you consider don't rape you neighbour's wife or don't steal from or kill you peers to be altruistic. Oh, yes. And don't moon your parents, since that would be dissing them.

But that's about all.

Altruism is nothing else than caring for your fellow humans. No religion required.

Religion tries to boost altruism with fear in God. And yes, corruption grows even in this hierarchy.
