To determine how you should treat others you first have to determine what you want from them.
Then you can decide how you should treat them.
If you want them to be good to you you will have to be good to them.
When Jesus says do unto others as you'd have them do unto you it is not a moral directive. It is practical advice.

See.. that's illogical. Deities and higherpower are two different things. You need to solidify your beliefs before you can convince me you have a clue to what you are talking about.
Excuse me for being under the impression that you knew what i meant when I said higher power. Keep trolling hard though, you're getting better( not really).
WTF else would I have meant by that given the context of my subject line?

It;s illogical NOT to believe in a higherpower.
This
If 95%+ of the worlds population believes in a higher power, that means non believers are in the minority and are the ones conceivably the illogical ones.
Perhaps the perception of a higher power is kind of an innate ability in humans. and for those of us who do not think this, well there are always those few birds in the flock who do not fly south with the rest, disoriented and weak, they stay behind to freeze and die.

What would ever lead anyone to believe in a higher power? It's just silly.

I believe there is something other than my consciousness, a Collective Consciousness- an Other. It is not hard to believe in Otherness. My belief is an intuitive one.

The potential of humanity and the riddle of creation creates a lot of questions that people tend to answer one way or other.

Intuitive beliefs are very prone to mistakes, unless your ok with the whole geocentric universe thing. If that's the case, you have a lot bigger problem than just trusting your intuition.
