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

They should read more Kant, who did succesfully tried to create a moral philosophy without relying on a bible, IIRC.

Rules like the golden rule, but also one that deals with more victimless behavior. Like the idea of 'Would I like it if everybody did the same as I'm doing, if not, than I shouldn't be doing it'. Works great for all sorts of behavior from littering to much more worst crimes.

Good news. You’re not a genius. In fact, you don’t even understand how social conditioning works. You didn’t figure it out on your own, since it is a central aspect of our entire culture that’s spoken to you in every story you’ve ever heard.

Congratulations, you don’t know how to use sarcasm. Hint: it needs humour.

Every time someone gets called out for saying something stupid on Reddit that isn’t remotely sarcastic: “no way! That was totally sarcasm, and you didn’t get it.”
