That is your morality. God says so.

Also, for the record there is no such thing as selfless happiness and I fully endorse selfishness.
You can't know for sure if it did or didn't exist, I just happen to know from my own self reflection.

Don't assume to know me, you DO NOT know my self esteem levels. That is your opinion if you think that I need to be controlled by God, however, that is completely wrong. God can not physically control us, merely spiritually guide us.

I'm not in any way trying to prove to you that he exists, I am only stating the way he has touched my life. I don't understand why you are trying to tell me I'm living a sham when it doesn't affect you in the slightest.

If you fully endorse selfishness then good for you, I am proud to be someone who thinks of others other than myself at times, religious or not. Do you know your point of existence on this earth?
