Reply #84: I care

[Az]

Its natural to care. We are social creatures. We survive by working togehter. That you believe that I am a worthy human has value to me. The trouble is not all believers share your view of God as being someone so forgiving. Some believe the stuff about him being vengeful. Some believe the stuff about nonbelievers being worthy of scorn.

Our work here is to decrease the wrongs to any people. Faith or no. That is the struggle. But it is a struggle because many systems and ways presume their's is the only one. There are entire networks of programming dedicated to this notion. So trying to lay our fears aside because your experience does not indicate this is taken as good natured but perhaps not far seeing enough.
