People have said people deserve to be happy and healthy. While an opinion, it does make sense (at least in the sense of 'being happy').
Some people say humans deserve hell for their sins (even if it's inherited).
For discussion:
Is there anything humanity is deserving of? If not, why not? If so, why? And what is it?

Re: Deserving
Post #2Answers. We worked damn' hard to find things out. We deserve to get the answers.
I'd like to say that we have also worked hard for peace, prosperity and happiness and a cure for the common cold, but there just seem to be too many people who just seem to want the other thing.

George Orwell:: “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”
Voltaire: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
Gender ideology is anti-science, anti truth.

Post #5I wonder, are more people working for hostility, destruction and the like, or are they simply to more powerful and influential?TRANSPONDER wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 5:03 pm Answers. We worked damn' hard to find things out. We deserve to get the answers.

But to the answers: yes, it would be nice to have, not all, but more. Especially when people threaten others with 'eternal hell and torment' and the like.
But, with these answers, there would be no need for faith. And, without faith, most religions (christianity especially) can't survive.
Maybe that's the reason there aren't many more answers?
Have a great, potentially godless, day!
