Comment on Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus
Arkouda@lemmy.ca 16 hours agoIf you need a fictional character to tell you to act like a decent human being then you’re not a good person.
What happens when you need a real person to tell you to act like a “decent human being” like every human in existence today? Are we all by nature “evil” because we require third parties to dictate what “good” is?

Nobody needs third parties to dictate what good is, it’s embedded in our genes.

This is incorrect. You likely have learned little on your own, especially true regarding behavior.

I’m not arguing against that, but there definitely is a moral compass embedded in our genes. We’ve evolved to work and live in a society. Otherwise we would be extinct. You may be taught things that “feel” wrong.
