Indeed, I think the idea to be pretty cool and pretty right - and Jesus to be pretty wrong. It is simply no argument for meh "He/she/whoever said that". For me, those teachings are not more than a system of thought that is designed to uphold society.

You try constantly to makehe point that a lightworker has less hassle to choose his actions than a lightworker, because he gives without regard of the person.
a) If he gives and gives without regard he'll most likely suffer from "lightworker-syndrome" ina very short time.
b) To figure out how to give is also an effort.
c) It is also a joy for a DW how to figure out how to serve self, not only for the LW to do good, I can assure you that . Where would be the point in being a DW if you didn't benefit from the choice? None at all.

If you're trying to point out that it is per se easier to choose the unselfish path than the selfish path, you have to assume that people are by nature more inclined to it, which I doubt in the light of evolution 8survival of the fittest) and by the news.

Basically, I think the fear-approach to DW is plainly wrong. In his podcast "Owning your dark side", Steven cooks it down to: You have fear if you do not believe in a kind of continued existence after this life. So every atheist would most have to be a DW, which doesn't seem to be true. Like Sartre put it: It's the goal to realize that everything has no sense, but act as if it had sense anyway.
So it would opt for a motivation of self vs. others, not love. vs. fear.
There is no fear involved if I drop a person. I have just decided that he is not useful to me... no fear.
