manic nazi dream girl
Someone that fucked Elon should really keep ideas about morality out of their fucking mouth
I now see why she was stupid enough to get with elmo.
This person allowed Elon Musk to stick his Nazi cock inside her.
She’s not a sane individual.
The question I get asked by religious people all the time is, without God, what’s to stop me from raping all I want? And my answer is: I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero. The fact that these people think that if they didn’t have this person watching over them that they would go on killing, raping rampages is the most self-damning thing I can imagine. I don’t want to do that. Right now, without any god, I don’t want to jump across this table and strangle you. I have no desire to strangle you. I have no desire to flip you over and rape you. –Penn Jillette
Think of the man what you will, but this has to be the best answer for that dumb question.
I see your logic, atheists. Now apply that to “laws”, “money”, and “The State”.
Laws and the state exist to deal with the people that DO want to rape and murder. Money exists to provide a more convenient way to exchange goods and services.

And religion doesn’t? What subject are we talking about again?
Money exists to provide a more convenient way to exchange goods and services.
Is it the most convenient way? Have there been other ways? (Yes, there has, for thousands of years.)
Well, seeing the problems Catholic priests are having not touching little children, I’m going to go ahead and say no, religion is not a very good way to deal with people that do want to do such heinous acts.
Catholic priests aren’t all religions.
So you are saying that people of all religions want to molest kids, but are held back from that because their God would disapprove?
Gosh, and here I am not wanting to molest kids all on my own.
But let’s go less icky - most people don’t want to molest kids. So let’s talk about stealing. What is keeping me from stealing from a big corpo like Walmart? Security cameras and laws. What is keeping me from stealing from my neighbors, and even other people at large? I respect other humans enough to not take the things that they have paid for. No security cameras, police aren’t around - I could go take my neighbors nice lawn mower out of his shed tonight and likely never get caught, but I don’t because I don’t want to deprive another human of things they worked hard to acquire.
I guess you’re saying that some people need religion because they have less of a moral compass than I, an atheist, have?
Edit: also, it doesn’t just happen Catholicism, and if you need the proof, I think there’s a community for that.
Edit 2: a downvote but not a rebuttal. 🙄
If fear of divine retribution is your only reason for being a good person, then you are not a good person.
If we can kill God, then it wasn’t God that we killed…
This is the fact that is so often overlooked because its too goddamn inconvenient for them to acknowledge.
God is the all-powerful creator of the universe, all of the black holes and quasars, all of the laws of physics, the architect of the very Beginning and End of All Things… but He is in constant danger of destruction by a bunch of hippies and nerds.
I can’t remember who said it but: If you being a good person depends on the fear of eternal damnation, then you are not a good person.
That’s why as an Italian I appreciate nordern countries. Luther reform fixed that and shifted the main point to the actual life.
When I moved to Sweden in a rich part of Stockholm I was not happy. Dealing with rich Italians left a disgusting feeling in me and I didn’t want to live there. Then I got to meet the neighbors and they were actually really cool. Rich swedish people (normally rich, not talling about billionaires), are absolutely down on heart.
Anyway, I’m pretty sure this people would’ve been doing great even without religion. Luther isn’t been a revolution, it’s been an excaping. Not surprisingly, their modern and open Christianism is the one who’s disappearing faster.
People always told me that Grimes was super smart, but every time she opens her mouth, it’s some of the dumbest shit I have ever heard. She is the guy we all knew in high school, the one who takes mushrooms and stares at Tool album covers, and expects the rest of us to pretend they are brilliant.
This chick literally wrote an open letter to communists, saying that if they support Elon Musk, he will use AI to bring a communist system.
If she were to ever shut up, it may dawn on her that she is actually a fucking idiot, and we can’t have that, so she never shuts the fuck up.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Emphasis my own. Yes there is a self evident morality, you don’t need God to tell you what’s right and wrong.
To be fair, they’re also saying that it’s self-evident that our rights are given to us by a “creator”. Which isn’t true.
The way i understood it was that it’s a difference in organization of society. Some people can find meaning themselves, without needing somebody else to tell them what to do. Some people just need to be told what to do.
Some people find their meaning in telling others what to do.
Stop being pious atheists
There are good things that are less intuitive about eg. Christian values such as forgiveness. You get as many chances as you need and are still worth saving no matter what you have done wrong.

No matter what?
Yes.
Separate the deed from the dude. Provide psychological help and enable them to be better.
Did you read the letter he sent?
Faith without works* is dead, according to James.
Religion provided people with a sense of community. Without it, they’ve been finding community on the internet which has resulted in people believing in all kinds of strange things. Significantly stranger than there being a metaphysical consciousness in the universe.
Religion, while not perfect, often tries to encourage people to be better. Of course religion can be corrupted by politics at times, and we’re certainly in one of those times. But the general concept of people coming together and encouraging each other to be better isn’t a bad thing.
Internet groups are worse than religion, many of them are devoted towards hating an enemy and unlike religion, make no effort to encourage people to better themselves. Religion can often fail at this goal, but most internet groups make no attempt to be better than a failed religion. Case in point: atheistmemes@lemmy.world
