"When people talk about God and creation, they always think of beautiful things, like roses and hummingbirds. But I also think of a little African boy sitting on a river bank in West Africa with a worm eating its way through his eyeball, which will make him blind in the next few years. Now if you are telling me that God created the rose and the hummingbird, presumably he also created this thing in his eye. And it didn't evolve the way that I believe that it did, but it was created by God. Some way or another, God said, "I will make a worm that can only live by boring through peoples' eyes." Now I don't find that compatible with the Christian idea of a God who cares for the well being of each of us."

-- Sir David Attenborough

To answer your question more directly: No, I don't.

People should not follow directives from above (or elsewhere) but recognise that we, all of us, are in the same boat (on the same planet) and try to help others if only because we might (will, surely) be in need of help one day too.

Established churches of all religions are about power or money or both.

Don't let others do your thinking for you (including me!)
