Multiple other religions teach the same basic tenets that non believers like me simply call civility and decency. It’s not exclusive to Christianity. Some of these religions predate Christianity by a millennium. Way too many contradictions within the teachings of Christ for me to go all in for blind faith.
Fair enough.
Even so, the questions in my post are worth asking are they not? I am genuinely not trying to “score points” here in some debate. From my perspective there couldn’t be a more important set of questions than those.
You and Kingston are absolutely right; those values are seen in civilizations the world over. But why? From where did they originate? Is there a coherent belief system available that accounts for that?
You’re absolutely free to come to any conclusions you like I’m not here to argue with you. But the questions seem to me to be some well worth investigating.
