No us wellbeingest. Those of us who are of the opinion that good and bad are about wellbeing.

Well being determined by you and jesus?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Listen man, we all know that good is about wellbeing, increasing well being equals good, diminishing well being is bad.

So if you want to know who’s a good Christians and bad Christian just do the math yourself, at the end of their life have they ultimately contributed to wellbeing or diminished. And that will give you the answer as to whether they’re good or bad.

Eventually Sam Harris will finish development of a wellbeing calculator, so science can do the calculation for us. But far know we can do so ourselves, including you.

The less religious people are the better people they tend to be. Same with institutions. "Oh, they're religious but you barely notice it."

This sort of thing is pretty common:

Quote:Christian leaders are continuing to speak out about the evil of white nationalist ideology amid ongoing revelations about the motivations of the gunman who murdered 20 people at an El Paso shopping mall Saturday.

In a series of tweets Tuesday, popular Bible teacher Beth Moore did not mince words.

“Any ‘Christ’ that can be invoked in support of white nationalism is a false Christ of the highest, most hellish order. An anti-Christ. A wholly-opposite christ. No such christ is the Christ Jesus of Scripture who taught His followers a love that sacrifices life & limb for others,” Moore said.

It may be that, given your own prejudices, you are not very aware of what church-goers say to each other in church.

This is a good point. We must not generalize about Christians. Some are good and some aren't. Like any other group of humans.

The nicest ones are the ones who just go to prevent being ostracized by the fanatics.

The slightly less bad ones.    


The good ones would take a firm stand against the fanatics rather avoid being ostracized by the fanatics.

You meant to type "some of the nicest ones" didn't you?
