It’s like everything. As we run away from God, our true selfish, pagan nature comes out and our most valuable idol is ME.

I have absolutely zero religious faith, and I would never act like this jerk. In my experience, a--holes come in all varieties. Some are believers, some are not.

>>I have absolutely zero religious faith,

What is at the center of your universe then? Do you believe in chaotic randomness that creates you and the next guy and then you feel a societal need to cooperate based on your shared experience as nothing special?

**I have absolutely zero religious faith, and I would never act like this jerk.**

It’s religious faith in a God of love and justice that creates a respect for fellow humans. Stalin and Mao were very unrespectful of fellow humans, and enforced a godless society. The Stalinists and Maoists in this country are pushing for the same.

**In my experience, a—holes come in all varieties. Some are believers, some are not.**

Real believers display the fruit of the Spirit, but when they don’t, God convicts their hearts, and repentance to God is the beginning of restoring the mind of Christ.

everyone has faith/belief in some thing, and that becomes each persons religion.
