"But in the last 12,000 years or so, human groups began to expand. It became more difficult to identify and punish the cheaters and free riders. So we needed something big — really big. An epic force that could see what everyone was doing, and enforce the rules. That force, according to social psychologist Azim Shariff, was the popular idea of a "supernatural punisher" – also known as God."

There are archaeological remains that attest to the accuracy of Leprechaun stories?
People have sacrificed their lives for their belief in Leprechauns?
The Romans hung crucified (and still alive) Leprechauns on fire, on street lampposts, all throughout towns to warn others about the dangers of being Leprechauns?
Or maybe it was unicorns you were referring to.

You saying that the only thing that keeps humans from being pieces of shit is faith?

Well if people need Karma or religion to NOT be pieces of shit, stands to reason they are pieces of shit deep down. If the only thing keeping them civil is an external factor containing their inner self.

Well, if you are faithless, you live in the moment, because tomorrow isn't.
And if you are faithful, you believe that behaviors that reward the common good, and others, tho not own, also will be rewarded or at least advance a cause greater than self.
So ... in a way yes. I think that is arguable. But that's not a point I was making and I don't need to prove it.
I was asking ...
How about fair treatment of prisoners?
How about fair treatment of immigrants?
Carry on.

That’s a sad life you live. Can you see how scary it would be to have people with your beliefs in charge of government/public policy?
Ruling the heathens that know no better so you’ll do what’s best.
Detach yourself from yourself to a place of objectivity and think about that for a minute.
I would bet I’ve helped more people in this world than you have and I have zero faith.
And “faithless people live in the moment”. Did you make that up or read it on a Chick Filet cup?

Current right wing Evangelical crop in power and or giving fuel to the people in power don't give two fucks about either of those items. Actually yes they do. They are hell-bent on making sure that both populations are treated like shit. Which is my point. So called "Christians" are doing more harm than good right now. It's the Billy Graham and Mike Pence crowds.

That can't be real (I hope), the pic looks too composed and fake. Which is completely beside your point, which I agree with.
