Let's say you were right

Another "debate killer". This is again, not meant as a slam against "Everyone who does
not believe exactly like me." Not at all. You are more than allowed to disagree with me.
I am a secularist, and pro democracy. But as much right you have to disagree with me,
I have the same, when it comes to disagreeing with you.

"Let's say the Christians were right. That means that the Muslim firefighter, who
tragically died, by a building collapsing on him, when he tried to save a family from
burning alive. He goes to hell.

The family, lets say there were Hindu. Hell. Even the children. For the crime of being
born the wrong place. But the man who set fire to the building because he wanted the
insurance money... he goes to heaven, because he believed in Christ. And you dare to
call me a-moral.

I don't believe in gods, nor an afterlife. That is why I want this world to be better. Not
simply 'outlived'. I want everyone to have a place to call home. A roof over their heads.
Food and water, to sustain them, and clothes, and heating to keep them warm. If
people are hurt, they should be helped. Free of charge. If people are done wrong to, the
guilty should be either taught to be part of society, or be punished accordingly. I think
of the greater good, and the future of humanity. And you dare to call me a-moral.

No one is perfect, no matter how long or silly their title. No one, is infallible. And to
pretend such a thing exists, without evidence for that... is at best, flawed thinking. An
adherence to tradition. A tradition started by those who believed the stars could fall out
of the sky, the earth is flat, that slavery was fine, that women were property, rain and
diseases came from the gods, and that the moon was a light source. And you dare to
call their thinking perfect. And then dare to call mine a-moral.

if a man set fire to a house for insurance money, then he is not a Christian
