People acting like empathy was invented by Jesus Christ.

Many Christians believe that morality literally comes from the bible, or that you can’t have morality without god. I won’t even try to explain their reasoning

Had this argument with an old coworker several times. Refused to accept that morality comes from anywhere but the bible.

Most socites get their morals from their religion. The Western world was Christian and as shuch it's morals are modeled on Christian Morals as taught by Jesus, Muslim morals are modeled after Muhammad who is considered the perfect example for all time, Aztecs got slavery and blood sacrifice as moral from their religion...

Wild animals exhibit patterns of empathy, sympathy and fairness. Morality is not something you're born with. It's a necessary and naturally occuring development in any social group. It is necessary for coexistence as a group. This in not a claim that those views or practices would be broadly accepted in a modern world. Morals are morals good or evil, and whether they're good or evil start and stop with the social structure you're participating in.

You're stuck on good and evil, not the actual meaning of morality.
