Humanitys Purpose?

[Ryo of Inferno]

Because if everyone in the world was like you there would be no peace. Why should we trade you oil for only $100,000 monthly? We want $300,000. Selfishness... which is how nations lead to war. You are actually concieted enough to ask why LOL The world CANNOT live in peace with selfishness and if you would prefer a chaotic and selfish world well you're going to get it and only then you'll realize its not worth being selfish.

If you are selfless, you will think of how other people feel, you will try to understand what it's like to be in their position and then you will act accordingly instead of acting like an animal that is after the first thing that it desires.

The more selfish you are the closer you are to an animal. Maybe that's why you believe humans are like animals. And thats why I believe we are more then just the pinocle of animalistic evolution, because I can move past the carnal reaction of things and take in other people's situations before contrasting my self to them and hating them for it.

As I'm sure you would instantly hate someone that accidently hits your car bumper at a stop light. And it could be possible that person has 3 kids in the back of the car screaming and he just spilled coffee all over the place while being stressed out all day long from going through a divorce. Do selfish athiests that go by THEIR emotions stop and think of other people's situations before acting with their first emotions? Hell no, you go by your emotions and anyone would get pissed off when someone that doesnt pay attention hits your car. Someone like me wouldn't care all that much until they find out exactly why they hit them and that it truly doesn't matter much, life is too short to waste time getting upset over that. Now if the person is a drunk athiest that hit my car i'm sure it would be 100% "morally correct" to knock them flat on their ass, because people like that get others killed.

Atheists aren't the only jerks around. My entire life almost every "Christian" I've met has

been a jerk to me. Now I believe that once in a while we are all jerks but the ones we

must woorry about are the ones who are like that all the time. Now I guess I'm finally

meeting some true Christians here but just like all Christians aren't jerks, all atheists

aren't jerks either. Course I have only met one atheist so far (Onizuka) and he seems to

be alright. Anyway you are correct Balthier we can't let our emotions rule us, but we can't

ignore them either. Anyway just wanted to point that out to you. Here I go pulling an

Uncle from Jackie Chan Adventures but: One More Thing be carful you don't start

stereo typing. Thats all I have to say.
