Abusive Theology 101

[Bad Writer]

Who told the gorillas doing the condemning that they should do so?

No one. For purposes of this part of the discussion, we’re both assuming these behaviors developed through evolutionary processes.

Looking down on someone when he or she does something inappropriate is a result of social evolution and these reactions are based on peer observations, but when a person gets specific with their condemnation, ie. telling someone that the inappropriate action is actually something called a sin, that sin is rebellion against some sort of deity, and that this sin will get them thrown into a place in hell, then this is a very learned action and it seems out of place to be put in the same category as community-understood social misconduct.
