No. Illustrating how beliefs matter, because they inform actions, and thus why one should care about what fellow citizens believe about stuff.
But it doesn't surprise me at all that you managed to miss the obvious like that.
It has EVERYTHING to do with it, since the topic of this sub-conversation is "
why care what other people believe?". And the answer to that is "
because beliefs inform actions".
Regardless of what the beliefs in question are. They matter, because they inform actions.
For the 5th time:
because beliefs inform actions.
How many times must it be repeated?
Yes, the "mujahedeen" from ISIS in the self-proclaimed Syrian caliphate also felt "happier and more fulfilled".
So? Does that make it good? Is it relevant at all?
Neither do I. In fact, I'm not aware of there being any kind of connection.
Many muslims even drink and their religion, unlike most brands of christianity, explicitly forbids it.
So no idea what you are on about.
You determined this, how exactly?
Bill Gates is arguably one of the biggest philantropists in the world. I don't think there is anyone who gave away more money then he did to charities. He's an atheist. So what?
None of this has any relevance to my answer to your question.
Let me remind you...
You asked "why do you care what people believe".
My answer was "because beliefs inform actions".
Sure, for some people their religious beliefs inform their action to donate.
Their religious beliefs also inform their actions to engage in extremely asocial behavior by discriminating, even demonizing, gay people and non-believers.
You are a great example of that last one, btw.
Cherry picking positives while ignoring the horrible bits is not honest.
It matters not.
ISIS scum living in the Syrian caliphate were also happier then when they lived in secular democracies.
So does that mean that you will support them and their caliphate?
After all, they are happier that way, right? And you seem to think that that makes it a valid argument.
Wait, don't tell me you are holding on to a double standard???
That would be SOOOO unexpected!!!
