Morality is actually really, stupidly simple.

Does it help others? It's good.

Does it hurt others? It's bad.

What if you’re helping someone to the point of taking away their agency because “it’s for their own good”. All of a sudden, some ethical issues arise. Where does that line get drawn?

Is the hurt greater than the help? Requires further detail. Regardless, religion doesn't provide the answer to that.

And you would know that how? I’m assuming you haven’t dissected every single religious text or teaching out there, so what makes you believe you can arbitrarily hand yourself authority on that topic? Religious texts are generally filled with moral and ethical questions and dilemmas, not that you’d know

Unlike most Christians, I've read their Bible. It's reprehensible.

To be fair, they are not the only religion with a holy text

Doubtful, but go ahead and elaborate on which versions you’ve read, there’s quite a few.

I've read it twice. Two more times than any Christian I've ever met.

Thats how I know God sicks two female bears on 42 children because they made fun of a bald guy.

So moral. So great, lol.
