As time progresses there is no moral law under such a system, only survival of the fittest. And how do you survive by following the strongest. An a strong one with no morals is a killer, as Kim is.
Only Jesus teaches "love", i..e "love your enemies" ... Kim teaches what ... nothing ... no morality ... only serve the strongest.
His teachings are a little more complex than that ... but I think you get my drift.
Oh, the morality bit.
I get my morality from having empathy for my fellow man. Simple as that. In don't have to be bribed with an afterlife to be a good person. I feel that Christians have this idea that they can do anything, since they are saved and their sins are forgiven. I believe atheists in general adhere to higher levels of morality than the theist counterparts.
Yeah, hopey, I hope you realize if you had been born in a mostly Muslim nation, you would most likely be Muslim, or any other country that has a majority of another religion.
