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.

If we can kill God, then it wasn't God that we killed...

There are plenty examples of religious leaders raping and killing children and other offenses. But I guess they are above it all then?

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.

I think zealot answered that. It seems that people who can't manage themselves and their worst impulse want to manage others.

manic nazi dream girl

Someone that fucked Elon should really keep ideas about morality out of their fucking mouth

If fear of divine retribution is your only reason for being a good person, then you are not a good person.

I now see why she was stupid enough to get with elmo.

The same god who allows rape and murder as long as you believe in him

"Your religion isn't the same as morality." - Britta Perry

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.

This person allowed Elon Musk to stick his Nazi cock inside her.

She's not a sane individual.

There was just a case where a woman gave birth to a baby in the woods, left it there and left for a vacation. If it weren't for the family dog desperately trying to save the baby and getting noticed by a stranger, nobody would have ever known as even the rest of the family was defensive of the woman.

This shows morality is not only not an exclusively trait but not even an exclusively human trait.

"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.

fuck that elon breeder

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.

Saying "Without laws I wouldn't do right from wrong" is also just as much a sociopathic self report imo. Same with "money" and "The State", i'm an atheist just like them except I go one or two gods further.

also, when has religion saying raping and killing children was wrong ever stopped a religious 'person' from raping and killing children? those are like their two favorite things to do.

I agree in part that the death of god has been bad. But that's only in regards to community. That is, we broadly lack communal spaces now where people that might be wildly divergent in beliefs--other than certain core religious tenets --come together. The loss of faith has meant a loss of community for many people. Attempts to build communities of non-believers have largely failed, or run afoul of the same problems that mire religion in general.

The result is that non-believers appear to be more likely to live more solitary existences, whereas people that have religious faith and go to church appear more likely to have some kind of community support group.

I think her argument was that religion offered an easy way to make moral choices.

Having a god reign over some heads is a useful tool against those who don't share the same values, but fear the existence of a higher power.

As always, it's about lacking control and the frustration that comes with.

Our society killed God and replaced with Reason. For all the things this improved, it created another set of problems nearly everyone in the West is unaware of. Check out Voltaire's Bastards.

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: [email protected]
