Group prayer on Skype on behalf of our Christian members

[Edwardo Piet]

This sentence doesn't seem to make any sense.

Oh lol. Chris Rock can be pretty damn hilarious. Didn't know that sketch though. Although it looks like it may be from the stand-up of his that I saw. But it was once and many years ago.

Humans evolved to be altruistic because being seen to give to others meant that people were more willing to give to them (morality comes from evolution). So showing us that you care about the intellectual development of Christians means that we will be more likely to see you as a respected member of our flock.

If morality comes from evolution, why is morality only a human concept?

It isn't. Other primates, for instance, can be moral. To some extent.

A monitor lizard... definitely isn't a moral agent, on the other hand. As the mothers often eat their own babies if their babies don't escape quick enough after hatching. I'm pretty sure morality is a mammalian thing. Birds can be pretty cruel to their baby chicks as well. Force feeding the fittest ones and leaving the weaker chicks to die, for instance. Empathy seems to be a mammalian thing. At the very least. Perhaps it's a primate thing. Cats seem pretty psychopathic. Dogs seem to be closer to us, as they are more social animals. Pigs are pretty sensitive creatures, I think. Elephants certainly are. But when it comes to actual morality and empathy perhaps it's a primate thing. Although ours is a lot more advanced. But we also have more immorality in some other ways: Many animals are violent to each other but we're perhaps the only animal that truly seeks revenge. We're both more angelic and more devilish. More sinful and more saintly. Metaphorically speaking of course.
