Wally, if what you're saying is true, then why don't we just euthanize people who are often seen as a burden to society as a whole? Such as poor people, severely handicapped people, really sick people, etc? It would certainly be "better for society" in a purely materialistic sort of way. Why do we have so many people dedicating their lives and traveling to the poorest places on earth to help those in need?
Surely there is something in us that desires goodness, even though it is constantly in conflict with selfish desires, it's there. And we have the ability to choose which way we go. Dont you think?
Ok, so I'm not there yet , but you think the main goal of my faith is to get me to lose my humanity, and I'm being led that way and will eventually get there if I give in? Lol.
This sounds like some weird conspiracy thing to me. And it wouldn't explain the fact that my faith has taught me a very humanistic sense of morality.

Nope, that'd be the final step, and most people don't go so far. But I do believe you've made yourself vulnerable to being mislead, not because you believe in god, but because you are under the authority of an organized religion.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
