Christianity and its effect on self-worth

[abaris]

The problem with that, is the standard in which you find 'moral' does not meet the requirement of God.

That's such an arrogant and, sadly, ignorant statement. It's also a demeaning statement for christians without you even seeing it. It basically means, if there isn't a god holding me accountable, everything is fair game and I only play by the rules and try to be a nice person, because I'm afraid what god might do to me.

I can only repeat, that basic morals aren't exclusive to humans. There are numerous new studies about animals holding basic sets of morality within their communities. Videos demonstrating these experiments can be found without effort on the web.

This whole god/morality business only plays to basic human arrogance of somehow being special, but at the same time totally dependent on some higher force.
