I am simply saying that empathetic desire, which is the good side of our species, isn't explained by old religions, but modern things like psychology, psychiatry and neurology. 

We already know that other species also display acts of empathy and sharing, and that tells me that our behaviors are not coming out of any religion or any "teaching" but are because of our natural evolution.

I agree... empathy is innate... can I go now? Wink
