Aren't you the one who professed to been an atheist a while back? Then you wanted to be a Jew and a Buddhist in another thread? Correct me if I'm wrong. And now you're a "Jedi"? Pick one.
sorry if I do not go through your whole response here, it does not necessarily mean I do not like you either...

First of all, look around you, talk to people, there are many who do good things because they want to help other people.

Syncretism in the form of inductive categorization is one of the most useless forms of 'world-views' in vogue, if not treated with outmost care.

One of the present 'fads' is, that theists have copyright on ethics.

Ackowledging gravity is a wise move, as you would have really big problems denying it. It's completely irrelevant, what label 'jedis' give it.

actually that would be Socrates and Plato... research is in order of western civilization and social norms.

Your chain of reasoning on a series of your own 'absolutes': Your own absolute called 'faith' being justified by your own absolute called a 'god creator' being justified by your own absolute system, you sofar haven't presented in a defined or demonstrated form.
Your rhetorical input of 'arbitrary' is of no consequence, as logic and/or science are very precisely self-defined and as 'relative realities' have demonstrated their value.
You can, at the boundary of western contemporary knowledge, ultimately contest the 'relative realities' of logic and science by presenting your own alternative model. Please do so.
