Most (if not all) selfless people are religious and believed ij something greater than themselves, It disgusts me to see all they achived of moral greatness is being crushed in today's societiy

For example: mother teresa

From age 18, she started to devote her life to missionary work and charity
She founded the Order of Missionaries of Charity in 1948
Because she gave up her income in order to do her charitable work, she often had to resort to begging for food and supplies in the beginning
Her mission was (in her own words) to take care of "the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone."
Her order founded orphanages, hospices and charity centers worldwide, to take care of all who needed help
She rescued 37 children in Beirut, who were trapped in a front line hospital, by brokering a ceasefire.
She cared for everyone, regardless of race, religion and political views. "No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work."
At the end of her life, she had founded 517 missions in over 100 countries
For her charitable work, she has received numerous awards in countless countries all over the world, including the Noble Peace Prize in 1979. That shows that her selfless work was universal: she wanted to aid as many people as she could, no matter where they lived.​

What a great women, and there are a LOTS of others like her, ganadi, jesus, prophet muhammad etc

Lmao and people say the world should ban religion, if religion is gone the bye-bye morals :lol .

I'm all for the morals principles religion sects like Christianity, Muslim, Buddhism withheld, but I don't have to follow through to the fullest of actually believing there is a God.

Take away religion, then something else will be blamed for the chaos in the world.

Ah but these people did for the reason that there is god, Because they absolutly believed that they need to spread good because their religion orders them to, their religions built up their morals and selflessness, they belived that god is all loving and felt the need to spread that message, and to show people that god is all loving

The disestablishment of religion wouldn't lead to the erasure of morals. Morals can exist without religion, as it's a social construct.

Get over yourself homie, isn't being not humble a sin and all that?

Its sad that you dont see it, if there is no religion then suicide rates would have been much much more higher, Some people despite their lives being complete shit, they still hold on because they believe that they'll get something better in the after life,

Also get constructed? Dont make me laugh most people only care about themseleves until religion comes in the picture and really makes then achive selflessness

?

Why does selflessness have to be associated with religion, though? You're implying all the good people are strictly religious.

Most selfless acts are done by religious people because most people identify as being religious. There are many selfless atheists.

Ya but most people don't do bad things cause they are afraid of hell, just imagine a world were people no longer believed in god that there was no one who will judge them for the wrong they did, everything that is right and wrong no longer exist humanity will cut loose and devour everything before them. You give humans too much credit in reality humanity is a foul existence, you cannot judge every human as being the same in terms of thought

I'm sorry for bursting your bubble but "religions" are far from being moral. And do not mix belief with religion.

Mother Theresa, Jesus, Mohammad were without a doubt highly conscious, highly moral, great human beings, but the religion/s were made by and used troughout the entire known history by power hungry people who used it to divide and conquer. Fact.

If you choose to believe; start with believing in yourself, the rest will follow and all the pieces of the grand puzzle will slowly and surely fall into place before your very eyes.

This was my first and last comment on religion related threads.

Peace. :)

Don't think anyone said religious people are not selfless
people have problem with religious extremists and guys who literally sell their brain over simple topics becoz their religion didn't allowed it [except if someone is Self proclaimed Superior western atheist]

Also anyone can be selfless irrelevant to the fact he is religious or not
