Oh - I have no doubt you haven't come up with all this yourself. Still - you're the one, who preaches this nonsense here, to people (atheists), that you know are bound to find it offensive.

Why should YOU, an atheist, find it offensive to see an example of God calling people to a higher standard of behavior?
I thought this was exactly the kind of thing that you would appreciate as mankind evolved into a more empathetic and compassionate species.
