I'm not defending Christianity (I was a former Christian and am now fully agnostic and on the verge of atheism) but your "argument" if you can call it that, is ridiculous.

Flaw #1: You have attempted to say that there is an objective code of morality - which there is not from my perspective and probably from any perspective. Morality is generally a personal issue and very few people completely agree on any set of moral ideal(s).Amongst every religion there is infighting, sects and seperations - and within these sects there is even more infighting.

Flaw #2: You have provided no basis for your personal morality. My moral code is based on doing what is in my best interest. My happiness is my moral compass. You have not stated your basis for your moral code. By what basis is empathy a moral standard?

Flaw #3: Wars are not usually started by a lack of empathy but they are more often started out of ignorance and bad information. For instance, when America started up Vietnam our leaders were ignorant of the fact that we would fail to stop the commies, take heavy losses both in the economic and physical sectors as well as face major opposition on the home front. Today, with our knoweldge of the situation there is absolutely no way we would participate in Vietnam. Empathy for the Vietnamese has absolutely nothing to do with the situation.

Please do not attack a religion or any thing/person in a verbal or physical way because their morals do not match up with your morals. It is foolish to assume that anyone else in the entire world operates on the same moral principles as you or that they ever will.
