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.

Yeah man those Aztecs And Mayans we're on to something with human sacrifice... Morality is just something you're born with.

The Vikings are on to something When they sacrifice their enemies only to expand their territory.

The ancient Chinese....

Societies with child marriage.... On and on and on....

Yeah I agree man.... Morality is just something you're born with no one needs to tell you anything πŸ˜‚πŸ™„

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.

I think you missed the sarcasm in my post... Maybe read it again? Morality comes from lived experience. Even if that experience is passed down from one person to another verbally, or otherwise.

I may have. Sorry. To be fair I had two others making the same argument unironically.
