Christianity is simply the belief that in a 13.8 billion year old universe with hundreds of billions of galaxies, anyone who doubts that the creator of the universe obviously cares who they have sex with is suffering from a severe mental handicap.

They can't decide, & sometimes they show it on the same conversation; to then get angry when they are called about their contradiction... that's their cue to then to try changing topic, insult, tap dance with word salad, make a strawman & at the end dissappear avoiding answering.

Some cities have installed acoustic detectors called 'ShotSpotter' that automatically alerts polic when gunshots are detected in an area.

This is how common it is to have gunshots in certain areas.

When your church *is* the bad crowd that your kid fell in with...

Most moral systems have a sneaky pre-moral filter. It’s the thing which separates people into us/them. So biblical genocide is fine, and you can’t prosecute someone who has been president for crimes, and you’re allowed to say any nasty thing you want about straight white cis men.

Gyrfalcon (Slava Ukrainii) The bad ass kicking new atheist M. Wordsworth Having been a Christian for 47 years I have observed its all about the afterlife (fear of Hell, death and oblivion). I can't imagine anyone worshiping a God who does not Threaten Eternal Pain or promise Eternal Happiness and never gets involved in our day to day life.

Would Christians still be so gung ho if there was no threat of punishment or 'eternal reward'? Would Christians Christian just because it's the right thing to do, even if there was no perceived payoff.

I don't think so. I think it's greed and fear, not piety. What do you think?

Being whipped by the eternal hell torture stick, and tempted by the eternal life you'll see your dead again carrot, is a substitute for mastering one's own greed and fear and thinking more deeply about how to live.

I am not a knee-jerk fan of the Democratic Party, but the Repubs today are worse than contemptible. Maybe they were the Grand Old Party--the GOP--in eras past, but in the era of Trump, they have become the Pathetic Old Odious Party--the POOP.

When I speak to Christians, there are some basic assumptions...

If something created you, you must worship and obey it

If something is all-powerful, you must worship it and obey it

They don't seem to get that not everyone agrees with these assumptions.

IF I was going to 'worship' some being (I'm not, but I might admire them), it would be the *humblest* being in existence, not the most powerful.
