Compassion has nothing to do with god. It's a human emotion.

Are you sure about that? Because people without a soul are the ones with no feelings, they are the murderers and rapists...you get the idea.

What?? I am catholic and believe in god but we all choose our own path in life. We can choose to be good or evil. It is our choice. It has nothing to do with having a soul.

I happen to be closely related to a PHD in Physics. The more they learn the more he is convinced that God is real. These are the guys who are unlocking the secrets of the universe with the Super Collider.

The more they learn, the more of them are going back to church.
This is funny.

I guess they're having a prayer before they fire the collider up, now.

Why don't I believe you?...Oh I guess this is why...According to Pew, one-fifth of American adults have no religious affiliation, a trend that has for years been on the rise.

You're right. Compassion transcends all religions. It's a human quality, not a Godly quality.

Religion has given billions of people a shot at salvation in the afterlife, a length of time far longer than any time spent on earth.

The problem with that is the afterlife is just another religious myth, on a par with the Muslim 72 virgin fable.

“I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.”
― Isaac Asimov
