We're all puppets of the puppetmaster brain. We have less choice about everything than we presume. We're certainly not the masters of the universe we pretend we are. God didn't create anything, there's no god TO create anything. Mind is output and has no causal properties. We simulate more than we 'think'. We are the puppets. Just how it is.

A child -- I did -- can figure out that the story of Abraham and Isaac is terrible, and reject any mafia boss -- I mean God -- that would do this. Why can't he?

A child — I did — can figure out that the story of Abraham and Isaac is terrible, and reject any mafia boss — I mean God — that would do this.

Why can’t he?

THIS is why I don't think D'Souza is a great mind. He can't understand why helping a stranger OF THE SAME SPECIES is actually "selfish" in the sense that it DOES help your genes get passed on to future generations. Because we share mostly the same genes. It's also why people have no problem with squishing cockroaches or killing bacteria, but love Bambi, and dolphins, and cats, and of course monkeys. We love ourselves and our families and we STILL have SOME desire to help others. Ugh!

You just lie without remorse, don't you, Dinesh D'Souza? In order to make points with your less well informed, less rational, and probably less bright pool of believers. But you are smart. And that's why you sicken me. You're an intelligent man who ought to know better and probably does know better. You certainly know that that statement you made about the human being from Rwanda was false. YOU KNOW THIS. You DO have genes in common with the guy from Rwanda.
