I'm fully aware of that. I don't think you care about enough people, and you don't care about them enough. Anyone who believes that they should "dominate those who choose to be weak rather than give them the pity they seek" isn't abiding by the social contract.

Discriminating against others for their appearance and beliefs also isn't abiding by the social contract either, nor is preaching your own beliefs to others and trying to convert them without their consent (Christians). What I mean is I will not give a drug addicted, alcoholic hobo any of my money or any food. I will not go out of my way to help someone who has put themselves in a situation where they need help but refuse to make an effort. Dominate those who choose to be weak by forcing them to help themselves and succeeding where they fail, otherwise you will only be taken advantage of. I will help anyone who will admit they forgeted up and are willing to make it right, I will help anyone who is down on their luck and are willing to try their best.

So my first issue revolves around not asking for forgiveness when you know you've done wrong. I think a fundamental part of knowing that you've done wrong is desiring forgiveness, otherwise you have not truly committed something you feel is wrong.
I don't subscribe to the beliefs, but I've ran across a number of folks who do. So to the best of my understanding: The ideology is basically self-indulgence and individualism, so the need to seek forgiveness is pretty much eliminated. By their logic, you shouldn't feel guilty for doing something against another if you benefited from it in some way. And you shouldn't feel guilty for doing something society deems as wrong if you don't see it as wrong. So it isn't as much "I will not seek forgiveness" as it is "I will not need to seek forgiveness".

As for the assisting others thing, I think it changes from person to person. Generally, though, if someone needs help and is willing to better themselves, most people would be glad to help out in some way--


Yes, this. :o

nor is preaching your own beliefs to others and trying to convert them without their consent (Christians).
1. Because a few people might do that ( i have never seen someone going around trying to convert someone to christianity or preaching randomly in my life ) does not mean all christians do, that's stereotypical.
2. As stated above i have never seen someone preaching to people outside of a church in my life, how ever i have seen Atheists and other non religious people trying to convert and forcing their views on christians so many times it is ridiculous, as in the non-christians are convaying your point much worse than christians.

But hey maybe its just Australia that doesn't do those things.

ALRIGHT

WHO'RE THE MORMONS

I was so angry when those athiests forced those native americans into atheism!

Riddler didnt do the things he did because he was atheist

I JUST NOTICED ATHEIST WAS WINNING LOL.

It was sarcasm. Riddler wasn't even atheist.

Also, It is irking how atheists believe everything bad in the world happens because "God" won't do anything about it. I'm not saying this is invalid, but it seems like broken logic in itself, from my point of view. It's like saying you would pick up a piece of trash on the street that someone just threw down. Why would God fix the wrongs humanity created? How would anyone learn if I went around picking up their trash?
No, what's "irking" is when people make batstuff generalizations like this.

So something good happens, OH THANK GOD GOD CAUSED THAT. Something bad happens OH forget HUMANITY NOT GODS FAULT

It was sarcasm. Riddler wasn't even atheist.
He was a lapsed-Catholic national socialist occultist who worshiped himself.

Stalin, however, was an Atheist. And killed more people than Riddler. So all Atheists are Stalin in Russia killing civilians and all Christians are crusaders on horse back slaying everyone.

But above all else, we are all human. So all humans are inherently evil!

Hm. Something is askew here...
