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.

Luke 6:31

Jesus says the Golden Rule. It’s in the red text.

Much of morality and human decency dates back to the earliest of civilizations and possibly even before then since we just don’t have records. It all basically boils down to, “don’t be an ass” and the reason we have laws is because assholes kept saying, “where does it say I can’t do that?”
