If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge the He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it. - Stephen Colbert

Hospital notice: What doesn't kill you makes you a repeat customer.
There are at least 2000 different religions in the world. Variously they worship cows, rats, monkeys or a big rock. Can I worship a monkey on a rock rather than a man on a stick?
Euthyphro Dilemma - Are the pious loved by god because they are pious, or are they pious because they are loved by god? Is what is morally good commanded by god because it is morally good, or is it morally good because it is commanded by god? (Socrates) - if god decides what kinds of traits will be considered “good,” then goodness itself appears arbitrary; otherwise, if goodness is not arbitrary but objective, then it appears that the “true” standard of righteousness would supersede god’s own authority.
Louis Cypher RRS - Christianity remains a disgusting perversion of the human psyche, a vile middle eastern blood cult born of human sacrifice with sacraments of vampirism and cannibalism and whose highest icon is the image of a near naked man hanging in torment from a device of torture. Christianity replaces human ethics and morality with the absurd concept that wrong doing, guilt and the common faults all people share can be transferred like loose change to a third party, the reanimated corpse of the faux sacrifice, and that entry to the cosmic amusement park can be gained and damnation to an eternal torture chamber avoided by the expedient of planting ones lips on the celestial buttocks, often, and with gusto, (optional ball squeeze depending on denomination). The aforementioned ass kissing supplants the need to actually be a good human being, as the book assures us is impossible at any rate. This vapid superstition writ large has as it's endgame the horrible death of 3/4 of the human race followed by the pitiful remnants crawling from the rubble only to be ruled over by an undead Hebrew revanant, the remains of that long ago 'sacrifice'.
