Obviousy you don't really agree that following the golden rule is a rational non-religious behavior, common to most societies of the world

Why is that?




Because it isn't common to most societies of the world. Can you articulate it?

Of course I could, but I won't, simply bacause you can't even begin to rebut our point.
Why bother to articulate a rule when you can't even understand the principle involved?

Define it for yourself, then tell us why it's irrational.

Your point is that the Golden Rule -- which you won't articulate -- is common to all societies. It's not common to all societies. It's not common to human nature. Saying so doesn't make it so.
