HE has a direct line of communication made available
Quote:God asks for nothing in return for the freedom offered by Christ beside love each other as your selves and him above all else.Doesn't ask for anything besides those things he asks for, you say...one of which being to love him the most-est?
Quote:God has made a promise to throw mountains of doubt into the ocean to clear you from doubt and disbelief.irrelevant to altruism.
Quote:Christian is the only religion not based on "morality" as it sole means of judging a follower righteous.irrelevant to altruism
Quote:You have confused christian religions,with howthe bible conducts the following ofChrist.You've confused "seven" for "cat". You didn't actually present an exhaustive list of everything god allegedly asks for in his own self interest - but you just couldn't help but tell us about at least one very self interested thing upon which this bribe is made conditional. This is an almost comical fuckup...since all you had to do was omit this like you omitted any other ask in magic book.
To wit, your posted definition and question.
Quote:al·tru·ism
/ˈaltro͞oˌizəm/
noun
- the belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others.
"some may choose to work with vulnerable elderly people out of altruism"
synonyms:
unselfishness, selflessness, self-sacrifice, self-denial;
Given this definition without falling back to emotion why can't god be altruistic?
Is there anything else about "that's not what that word means" that you don't understand? Even -I- don't condition the trip to the park on the neighbor kids loving me the most-est, that's some next level needy shit.
