Simple question for Christians.
RE: Simple question for Christians.
Nice, two in one day! I'm glad to say you would say no too CL Smile Brilliant answer. I've asked it before many times, before you were a member. Our regulars won't answer, bar one (Huggy). The rest just make excuses as to why they don't have to answer.

People who don't care? Well, it can still be pragmatic. If you keep screwing people over you'll be short on allies, and also we have the law so we can lock those people up. Such people are fairly rare, who have no sense of morality (sociopaths). As for "should", well there's not much we can do. We'd like them to care about people, but if they don't, we can only give them reasons to care or deterrents not to hurt people.

We evolved as a cooperative species. We work well in groups, better than individuals. So natural selection has made us tend more and more towards people who care about society and not just themselves. It's not uniform, but it's a big trend. Society just wouldn't work otherwise! That is essentially where morality comes from. (Morality as in valueing wellbeing of others).
