Admitting You're a Sinner

[SteveII]

I don't even care that magic book said it.  Ask two christians what magic book says and you'll get three opinions.  Steve told us that with-christianity the desire to do the right thing to the best of our abilities manifests itself.  Except when it doesn't, which is most of the time. 

-and yet it's manifesting itself all over the fucking place in we lowly heathens, or was always there.

In addition to these fruits (as it were), steve has told us that the difference between a christian and an atheist, morally, is that the christian has a set of rules that they must follow as part of their worldview.  OFC that's not a difference between christians and atheists at all.  Most of the time the two lists of specific rules are entirely the same things between christians and atheists.  It's almost as if all the things steve believes about his silly beliefs are silly.  I think he needs to drop the cultural christianity and find some fuckin jesus, like Tolstoy did.

Assertion, opinion, assertion, opinion.

How about evidence:

Religious people give more money to charities.

About 75 percent of people who frequently attend religious services gave to congregations, and 60 percent gave to religious charities or nonreligious ones. By comparison, fewer than half of people who said they didn’t attend faith services regularly supported any charity, even a even secular one. https://www.philanthropy.com/article/Rel...ore/153973

Religious people volunteer more time.

We know the religious are also far more likely to volunteer. Among Americans who have volunteered within the last year, three quarters belong to a religious organization, one quarter do not. https://www.philanthropy.com/article/Rel...ore/153973

Seems like a person's worldview does impact his/her actions. Hmm.
