Mq... quite a read the purveyors of virtue in that list.. ah yes quite a number in there with virtuous murderers in Gods name.. (not all to be sure) and many folks that generally prey upon men... . all wrapped up nicely in one dogma or another... I guess I got it after all.. .VVV.. a means to look good while exercising unabashed self interest... ? I aim to harm no one.. and there is nothing peculiar in my values so far as I can determine.. You're the first to question me such :O)

Now let's take say Mother Theresa.. following the true spirit of Christianity to help others.. (not the horrors it also caused) Yes there I can see virtue.. and from a women spending so much of her life in a crisis of faith to boot ...

Then again maybe it is all chemical... or perchance we are all good doers and evils doers behaving exactly like Auda abu Tayi in Lawrence of Arabia... we do things because it is our pleasure.. notwithstanding how it is wrapped up... Much too philosophical for me... I will need to stick to what I have observed and experienced.. works so far...

at any rate.. comparing VVV to a couple of those religions in the link you cited.. was most excellent indeed..

By Gad, sir, you are a character. There's never any telling what you'll say or do next, except that it's bound to be something astonishing.
