People who make the claim.
ESE - a subjective feeling misinterpreted as objective reality.
UT - a truism that can be found in different cultures around the world, ie. the golden rule
@Atheist3 and how do you know it is not an objective reality for them?
@Atheist3 Don’t know that the Golden Rule is a truism for all cultures around the world. Certainly isn’t in the West although there is greater and lesser adherence to it depending where you are.
@Geoffrey51 No evidence that this phenomenon originates anywhere but internally.
@Geoffrey51 The 'rule' can be found in various forms in Eastern as well as Western cultures. The earliest is 500 years before the time of JC.
@Atheist3 okay, if you say so.
@Atheist3 Yes, but not adhered to!
I don't know. I will go ask them. This may take some time as I will have to search them out, but I will get back with you.

No objective, credible evidence to the contrary.
