Did I say it was? Christian morality includes “don’t be selfish” as a high ranking rule. Being selfish is against the religion, therefore selfish Christians are not implementing Christianity properly, or in other words they are being “bad Christians”. I don’t think of morality as one thing, I’m not claiming Christians or well functioning Christians are “more moral” because that is a nonsensical framing. It would be like saying that frogs are “more animal” than goats. No, they are just different animals. | ||

> Being selfish is against the religion, therefore selfish Christians are not implementing Christianity properly, or in other words they are being “bad Christians”. So is a Christian also allowed to own a profitable business? Isn't that pretty selfish, instead of making only the minimum and using the rest to help the needy? Or is a profitable business OK, but raising prices by more than inflation isn't? Or can a Christian run a factory that dumps runoff straight into a river? "Being selfish" is itself poorly defined. The Bible is not much use - when it's not contradicting itself, it's vague. Christian morality is not one single thing, hence my "no true Scotsman" comment. | ||
