You didn't prove anything, all you showed is that your emotions come with ethics...which is illogical and unbiblical. The only rational system is the traditional christian system which perfectly explains ethics.

And what a perfect explanation it is - we're nice not because it's right, but because otherwise our great and loving god would smite us and eternally punish us.
Sorry, but I prefer the not only humane, but also proven explanation.
"[The] traditional christian system ... perfectly explains ethics."
It does! It totally does! Don't tell me it doesn't, because it does! I can't hear you! I'm sticking my fingers in my ears right now! La la la la la la la la!!!
The bible doesn't make any attempts at explaining ethics. You might wish it did and that it was the moral guide to your life, but that would be like saying that state law is your moral guide because the bible is in many ways the same. It states a lot of laws (Leviticus) and do's and don'ts (NT). As with state law there are always parts you don't agree with and it doesn't cover every possible circumstance and therefore it can't be your ultimate moral guide line. If it was you'd agree with all of it and it would cover every situation you'd find yourself in.
A) The "Traditional Christian System" is not rational in the least.
B) It doesn't do anything "perfectly."
C) It's awfully convenient that something you already agree with is "rational" and "perfect," hm?
"Unbiblical and illogical" are contradictory terms. Anything "Biblical" is by definition a statement of faith in a supernatural concept, which is the opposite of logic which requires visble proof. Your statement about the "only rational system is the traditional christian system which perfectly explains ethics" is a totally subjective statement and proves absolutely nothing, except that you accept Christianity. "God did it" and "God said it" are hardly a logical explanation of anything including ethics. Every religion or philosophy can make just as viable a claim!
"...the traditional christian system which perfectly explains ethics"
would that include
a) slavery
So much for perfectly explained fucking ethics. Jesus himself would puke on you if he hadn't died 2000 years ago.
For example, why women are inferior to men?, or why we shouldn't eat lobster?, or why there is a God's judgement as judicial system?, or that snakes speak?...................... and emotion+ethics=Christianity, in case you're wondering.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
