Hey, at least there was some correlation between the quoted text and the replies
I'd give him the benefit of the doubt, but his posts do give off a terrible smell of troll
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Assumptions. In the end, it's where most problems and mistaken thinking come from.
You make one bad assumption, and your whole argument is nonsense. Analyse those assumptions!
Because I told you to. Don't be naughty.

We are all sinners and fall short of the bar God has set for us (ten commandments).
Those sins are washed away by Jesus' blood because he, the only one ever to make it all the way through life without sin took our sin to the cross for us out of love.
He disrespected his parents when he ran off as a preteen. He disrespected his Mother at a wedding. He destroyed a fig tree in violation of the law. The destruction of the church bazaar was not cool either.
And finally:
Hebrews 7:26-28: For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
