I think that it would be silly for me to try enter into a debate with a 'agnostic- atheist' Instead I will allow you to do the work...I understand that you do not feel that christianity is any different from any other religion, but I must take your oppinion with a grain of salt because you have admitted that you do not believe that GOD exists or that there is no such notion.
I also want to point out that it is not a psychological fact that every action is selfish (because psychology is a scientific discipln and facts can only be established in a lab) However it is a Biblical fact that ever human action is selfish (which explains why all of mankind needs to be regenerated).
1 Corinthians 1:18 says:
-For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. -
So you are unable to understand my arguments, however all is not lost because I am confident that just through these conversations you are able to tell that I am unlike other people. The uniqueness steems from my effort to Love people. A definition of 'how to Love" that I enjoy is
Philippians 2:3-11
3 Don’t let selfishness and prideful agendas take over. Embrace true humility, and lift your heads to extend love to others. 4 Get beyond yourselves and protecting your own interests; be sincere, and secure your neighbors’ interests first.
5 In other words, adopt the mind-set of Jesus the Anointed. Live with His attitude in your hearts. Remember:
6
Though He was in the form of God,
He chose not to cling to equality with God;
7
But He poured Himself out to fill a vessel brand new;
a servant in form
and a man indeed.
The very likeness of humanity,
8
He humbled Himself,
obedient to death—
a merciless death on the cross!
9
So God raised Him up to the highest place
and gave Him the name above all.
10
So when His name is called,
every knee will bow,[a]
in heaven, on earth, and below.
11
And every tongue will confess[b]
“Jesus, the Anointed One, is Lord,”
to the glory of God our Father!
