re: How can people with morals survive in an immoral world?

That is interesting because one tenet of the group you attack is to love thy neighbor as thyself. Am I to think that does not pertain to the here and now?

Seriously? Like how much you all love homosexuals, liberals, atheists, muslims, etc.?

Most people I know that aren't religious are much less judgmental towards people who are different from them. This is not to say that religious people are better or worse than non-believers, just that I think there are some flaws in the tenets of most religions. How can you not look at things like slavery and realize that the bible shouldn' be the basis for our morality?

Listen, I think Jesus was a cool dude who said some wise things. But attempting to follow his teachings doesn't give you any moral superiority over others. It's the us vs. them mentality that leads to most of the problems in this world.
