Christians automatically accept the fact we are all poop in God's eyes because we inherited "sin" from our great great great great great, pant pant pant, great great Grandfather Adam.
Balderdash.
We are as good as we are able to be when we strive hard and have a spot of luck.
Religion tells us we are dust on the scales and a drop in the ocean to control us. Religion sells unworthiness. It is their stock and trade.
Religion never put a man on the moon, cured polio, eliminated smallpox, gave us anesthetics for pain, developed open heart surgery, cataract removal or invented electrical appliances and air-conditioning. Nope, weak sinful "imperfect" man did all that and more in spite of being poop in God's eyes. People are simply amazing animals with seemingly unlimited potential. But, that potential cannot be fully realised with the belief that there is something there worth working on.
Self-improvement doesn't come from people who are waiting to be rescued. The Bible and religion keep people weak and dependant and frightened and tired. It is difficult to split the atom if your nose is stuck in the book of Revelation or you are knocking doors indoctrinating the populace with nonsense.
How wonderful are you? Wonderful is as wonderful does. If you don't DO anything worth mentioning then you aren't very wonderful. We each have to get up off our saggy bottom and actually PERFORM an act worth mentioning. We can gather strength and perform the miracle of getting better and better at something each day.
It all comes down to action and education and a positive view of a realistic world in which the invisible doesn't sit on a throne somewhere counting our Brownie points.
Just my wack view of life. Take it for what it is worth and discard the rest.
