    Just remember that these are the kind of people that believe that without the word of God to dictate morality to humanity that literally everyone would be a murdering, raping, cannibalistic monster. They literally cannot understand that people can be good without the fear of eternal damnation looming over them at all times.

      Repeating myself, but the jackass who made Supersize Me had a short-lived tv show where people of opposing backgrounds swapped lives. The christian nutter went to live with Muslims and talked about how if you don’t get your values from the bible, he can’t imagine what you must believe.

      You’re spot on with this comment. They absolutely have an inability to think outside the confines of their own mental prisons. I’m sure that even pre-language proto-humans could discern morality and whether their actions were justified or not, even if unable to articulate the concept.

        A lot of non huma animals are able to understand that their actions have a good or bad impact on others. Those people rank very low on evolutionary scale.
