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?
Taken from the first page of a google search on the definition of altruism:
Quote:al·tru·ism
ˈaltro͞oˌizəm/
noun
noun: altruism
the belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others.
"some may choose to work with vulnerable elderly people out of altruism"
Actually no... religions are not about being selfless. Especially when one looks at the Abrahamic god and considers what he requires to feed his narcissistic supply. (See RobValue's pic of the ten commandments above)
Do religious organizations do good things? Sure... but they are also businesses that need to bring in money in order to pay their bills. That is neither disinterested nor selfless. Selfless would have to mean that EVERYTHING they do is strictly volunteer.
