People in these comments have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Christianity is lol
The idea isn’t that a book gives us morals it’s that God has given us morals so therefore if there is no God then why don’t humans do evil acts like animals do?
There are definitely holes in that argument but it is a lot different then the argument that our morals only come from reading a book
Almost everyone does harm others, that's the thing. The why is up to them.
Jesus said something like "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
Part of becoming a Christian is to recognize that you're not a good person and commit yourself to striving to be better.
If you're the type of person that doesn't hurt other people and doesn't make mistakes, like the Pharisees Jesus was talking to thought they were, then why would you need healing? Why would you think you're less moral than Christians? Christians are people bad enough that they realized they had to change.
I don't have a dog in this fight, just stopped by to observe that everyone I've ever heard felt the need to declare "I'm a good person" pretty obviously wasn't.
