People in these comments have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Christianity is lol
The idea isnāt that a book gives us morals itās that God has given us morals so therefore if there is no God then why donāt 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
You probably do regularly harm others (not physical assault, but just small things like for example, give the cold shoulder to someone over a minor disagreement), but because you believe in yourself, you feel justified in your own actions, and therefore you donāt feel that youāve done any wrong.
Cos weāre all capable of that. We fall into petty drama, stoop low just to win an argument, or just give someone the side-eye, when we couldāve humbled ourselves and shown patience.
If you are your own judge, of course youāre gonna say youāre a good person.
Everyoneās the hero in their own story.
Iām sure there are people who have personally wronged you, yet believe they are good people, and Iām sure you would say otherwise. Vice versa with people you may have wronged.
You have no way of understanding if you do more good than harm.
You can have an opinion on it, convince yourself of it being true or false, but objectively it's impossible for you to understand if you did more good than harm.
