Politically Incorrect but True!
I just had to blog this…
”In Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism (Basic Books), Arthur C. Brooks finds that religious conservatives are far more charitable than secular liberals, and that those who support the idea that government should redistribute income are among the least likely to dig into their own wallets to help others.”
(http://www.philanthropy.com/free/articles/v19/i04/04001101.htm)”We must remember that an atheist wrote The Selfish Gene, not a Christian conservative. Richard Dawkins, its author, states, “Much as we might wish to believe otherwise, universal love and the welfare of the species . . . are concepts that simply do not make evolutionary sense.” Natural selection is in the business of weeding out the unfit in its eternal war against the weak. (See also the last few pages of Darwin’s Origin of Species.)
A Selfish Gene… who would have thought. I certainly don’t believe it.
