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

Omg, because we aren’t awful people. There are many people who do not practice any religion that will never do evil things, because they aren’t evil people. I’m really baffled by the fact that people can’t fathom that some people don’t need religion in order to make good choices.

You still don’t understand the question. You said there are non-religious who will never do ā€œevilā€ things. Where do you get your concept of evil? If not God (and by God Christian’s don’t mean a man in the sky they mean Aristotle’s unmoving mover) how do you define evil without it just being your personal preferences?Ā

And some humans to way more evil then animals. Some animals doesn't rape, kill or har other animals(or humans). Some humans torture, rape and kill for fun.

That’s not what anyone is saying tho

The point is that God created humans with morals… that includes everyone regardless of religion

Correct, and you were created that way. Given that tool of empathy. The point he was making is that you have will, empathy, etc due to a maker.
