But the "teachings" basically boil down to "treat others how you would like to be treated. There is nothing god like in that... its pure evolutionary pragmatism.
- tluyben2 5y agoAgreed, however, there are many interpretations which have many caveats. I was raised in a particularly hard-core interpretation of the bible and we had to do a lot more to get to heaven than just treat others how you would like to be treated. Also, what is your margin of error for that in a particular interpretation? Can you repent or off to hell with you after one strike? Ours was closer to the latter. All the questions I had as a child about those things and the logic fallacies coming out it where said to be god's domain, not mine (and continuing that line of questioning actually was said to be sort of a sin (I do not remember how severe it was, just that this is in the bible somewhere and that I got a lot of school penalties asking questions), with bible verses quoted).
