Live and Let Live is a great philosophy. Too bad organized religion has been used as a tool for war and propaganda since the beginning of time. It’s also incompatible with Christianity as warped by European civilization for its own purposes. American Christianity as a whole has morphed from disparate groups fleeing persecution in Europe, to tax free indoctrinations of the idea that allowing whatever interpretation of Christianity in vogue the politicians latch onto should be a government obligation to enforce. The fact that so many of them are fine with the most non Christian person imaginable leading them politically has just reinforced this idea. Read about Bob Jones University, the Supreme Court, and how it led to where we are today. Hint: “Religion forbid mixing races where’s our freedom?” Does Christianity forbid interracial dating? Yes, No, or just something we can ignore? All three most likely! Mister Rogers Neighborhood should be the new Bible. Fred Rogers was even a minister! The Bible could pared down to one page, not spend any page real estate discussing fabric mixing, and we would all be happy together. And we would not need the promise of a heaven that doesn’t exist to make it that way.

I’m speaking of the Bible specifically as indicated and religion based on a book everyone knows as historical fact was written and edited in ways that make it incompatible with an idea that it’s the infallible “Word of God”. There is no way I can tell you if there is some kind of spiritual thing like an afterlife or something intelligent that made us. But I’ve come to terms with that, uncomfortable as it is. I get how people need to have that but it’s all mass delusion. I am glad you found this thing to believe in, but there’s as much need to put it out here as I do my belief in the Panthers going to the Superbowl next year, for which I would deserve severe mocking for.

Christians are, by need, experts at picking and choosing rationalizations for what should still be followed and what should not, which most of the time makes their lives a lot easier. Being gay could be rationalized as easily as this but it’s not. After all back then people needed to breed more often and earlier because half of them would be dead by 25 or something and they had to have more little Christians back then. We clearly don’t have the need to procreate like that anymore. So why are so many people that consider themselves hardcore Christians not just using the same reasoning? All of a sudden, something we don’t have to fight over anymore!

What do you believe is the meaning of life?

Once they invented the butter churn and indoor plumbing women had nothing better to do all day than play the third hole and smoke cigarettes. It’s evident from watching the world around me. Indoor plumbing is the devil’s playground mark my words. Humans have not discovered any “meaning of life” other than the biological and chemical reasons. We probably never will, most likely because there is none (but again this will not ever be conclusively proven). So we have to make poo up to fill the void. Sorry, but evidence strongly suggests you are not eternal except in your own mind, which is really the only place it needs to be. Trying to give yourself a way to avoid facing that is an important survival mechanism for lots of people. -

There’s been a metric shitton more of “ungodliness” per capita in centuries past than today by far. Last century humans built killing factories for fellow humans. I’ll bet the amount of ungodly fornication has decreased since TV was invented. This is because the Flying Spaghetti Monster has finally acknowledged the need for alternative types of Pasta. His Noodly Awesomeness has dropped another Tentacle of Goodness to us for allowing Neil Patrick Harris to continue to be famous. -
Adblock or something similar may cause this.

Talked to him in person once and this was my impression but clearly he’s pretty sharp. Glad to have him here and can’t wait for him to dent a locker or two.
