@cicerone imposter,
That was actually my post mate...
I think these notions are acted upon...when one is willing to self evaluate themselves...and wants to do it...I like the Buddhists view of this...Because they place emphasis on a reason to do it within their philosophy...As well as explaining philosophical reasons why it is a waste to not want to be generous, happy, caring, accepting, kind... etc...
I guess an answer to your question is that you can't really make anyone do something they do not want to do on their own...
But this person would just be a sociopath...And it is not really philosophy, or religion based then....
Philosophy or religion teaches why these notions can benefit oneself...But if someone does not find value in them and wants to just be nasty...I guess there is nothing that one could do to make them change...
But them having the freedom to do as they want, and no one forcing them to change does not rebuttal the effectiveness that philosophy, or religion can do...Because I am sure most atheists would at least claim that one who acts this way does not represent a rejection of beliefs...Just as a Buddhist would claim that someone is not Buddhist if they act this way...Just as a theist would explain that they are not following their theology if they are doing these actions....Unless their theology was to do whatever they wanted...But they would probably be seen as an extremist...
