Not much of an explanation. You are only pointing out repeatedly that
one has to read all of your papers to understand what you mean. Assuming
you know your papers, why not simply post a quote that explains this?

No, I don't understand. One reason may be because they clearly contain
statements that are wrong. Quoting your altruism paper: "For example,
the Christian religion preaches that if you give, you will get
everlasting life by going to heaven." How did you come up with this?
That is wrong. The bible and all true Christian churches (Lutherans,
Catholics, etc.) clearly teach that works such as good deeds, giving
etc. do not suffice at all to get you to heaven. Faith does, and nothing
else. Sorry, but I cannot believe statements in a paper when I know they
are not correct.
