What belief about God would make you want to be nice to other people?
Advertisements [?]
Rather than pursue absolute truth about the incomprehensible, I wonder what belief about God would make me want to be a nice person who pursues nonviolent solutions and wants everyone to have adequate health care. It's fun to argue about evolution and apocalypse, but really--is any of this making me nicer? And if these beliefs don't make me nicer, what beliefs would? Simply ignoring God didn't work for Stalin or the Khmer Rouge. I'd like to think that there are beliefs about God which make me and everyone else nicer to each other. What would you have to believe about God in order to start genuinely treating each other better?
