BestWithoutGods comments on Dec 22, 2018:

It is not the responsibility of the universe to reward right and punish wrong. I can accept that. But in society we have laws, and they do determine what is right and wrong on that level. The government can reward right and punish wrong. And besides governmental laws, we have personal relationships with other people. We can do wrong or right in relationships, and receive bad or good consequences on that level, too. Our actions DO have consequences. We can act ethically and lawfully, and reap the rewards; or we can act unethically and illegally, and reap the negative consequences.

This reminds me of the dinner party where the guest had some gas building up inside. It got so bad that he just had to let some out. Happily it was silent, albeit deadly. The host shouted at the dog and told him to get out, but the dog didn't budge. The guest was very relieved. "Oh, good," he thought, "there's a dog under my chair, and they're blaming it on him." So he let out some more gas. The host again told the dog to get out, but the dog didn't budge. Then the guest felt free to let out all the rest of his gas. The host said, "Fido, I'm telling you for the third time -- get out from under that chair before he shits all over you!" :P

So true.....

BestWithoutGods comments on Dec 21, 2018:

Not necessarily. Sure, there are some people who are too stubborn to change their minds. But there are other people who just need to see the evidence more clearly, and they will follow the best evidence wherever it leads. I am, happily, a follower of the evidence. If it were not so, I would still be a Moron (oops, Mormon).

Name a fun fact about your home state.

BestWithoutGods comments on Dec 15, 2018:

Missouri, where I was born and raised, is called the "Show Me" state. It is usually used to gather evidence. If somebody makes an iffy claim, I could say, "I'm from Missouri. Show me." But some use it for other purposes. For example: "I'll bet your naked tits are beautiful. Show me."

Healthcare: Give it to everyone as a government program.

BestWithoutGods comments on Dec 15, 2018:

This makes much more sense than providing everyone with firearms!

Guns: Give them to everyone as a government program.

BestWithoutGods comments on Dec 15, 2018:

You need to look at reality, not at the nonsense coming from the NRA. The truth is that in countries where firearms have been banned, mass shootings are almost completely nonexistent. The more firearms are out there, the more they will be used unlawfully. Give everyone a firearm, and gun deaths will skyrocket.

I am so weary of the piss-poor arguments regarding the evangelical positions on the 1st Amendment.

BestWithoutGods comments on Dec 15, 2018:

I read the article through. Note that it is in CBN, which is a Christian medium, advocating for "The Christian Perspective." It is quite biased, and not very reasonable. What really matters is how the First Amendment has been interpreted in the Supreme Court. According to US law, the government is prohibited from even suggesting any certain religion, or even religion in general. The Ten Commands, or manger scenes, or crosses, etc., must not be displayed publicly in government buildings or on government property. Nothing religious should be displayed on government property. Our current law is the government must be NEUTRAL concerning gods and religions. I look forward to the day when this neutrality is practiced completely. We need to remove "under God" from the pledge of allegiance. We need to remove "In God we trust" from our currency. The government must serve all citizens equally, and not cause them to fear a bias toward theism.

It's interesting how everyone's version of god is so very much like them....

BestWithoutGods comments on Dec 15, 2018:

Yeah. My god is my exact age, goes by my name, and looks exactly like me, except his right is my left, and his left is my right. He appears to me every time I look up from the bathroom sink. He does everything I do. When I brush my teeth, he brushes his. When I comb my hair, he combs his. When I jerk off, he does, too. :P

BestWithoutGods comments on Dec 13, 2018:

I've heard of people going off the deep end. Happily, I did not throw the baby out with the bathwater. When I discovered that the Bible was mythology rather than reality, I discarded my religious beliefs. However, I held onto the ethics I had learned from the Bible, based on neighborly love. I had to find a new basis for ethics, not the fear of a vengeful god, but my own happiness. I am happiest when I love my neighbors, practice kindness, and do good deeds that make others happy. Because I had to re-examine my ethical foundation, I became more ethical as an atheist than I ever was as a theist.

My companion tried to ask in his best Spanish, "Do you have a comb?" The lady at the counter turned beet red and ran into the back of the shop. Soon, her husband appeared, rolling up his sleeves and asking angrily what my companion wanted. At that point I had to jump in and explain that he asked if she had a *peine* (comb), but he mistakenly pronounced it *pene* (penis). Oh, my....

What is your deconversion story?

BestWithoutGods comments on Dec 11, 2018:

I was born into a Moron (oops, Mormon) family, and was raised to be a Moron (oops, Mormon). In my late twenties, I decided to prove with facts and evidence that Joseph Smith (the founder of Mormonism) was a true prophet. The deeper I dug, the more I became convinced that he had NO divine gift of prophecy. His predictions, made in the name of God, failed to be convincingly fulfilled. So, I left Mormonism, at which time my Mormon wife took the children and disappeared. Months later, I got divorce papers in the mail. She said that she married a Moron (oops, Mormon), and that I was no longer the same person that she married. Having left Moronism (oops, Mormonism), I investigated other Christian religions. A few years later, I put the bibilical prophets to the same test I applied to Joseph Smith. They, too, proved to be false prophets, with NO divine gift of prophecy. I also compiled a lengthy list of biblical contradictions and absurdities. Christians tried their best to convince me through conversation and books on apologetics, but every time, I found their "logic" to be flawed. I recall my very last prayer, telling God that if he exists, he's going to have to prove it to me. Otherwise, I will follow the facts and evidence pointing to the conclusion that he is nothing but a MYTH. I was not struck by lightning, and I took that as my final proof that there is no god, and that religion is a scam based on mythology. I am happy to be free from such deception.

The White Supremacist Who Killed A Protester At The "Unite The Right" Rally Was Sentenced To Life In...

BestWithoutGods comments on Dec 11, 2018:

The most common sign of white supremacy in my town is the Confederate flag. Whenever I see one, I give it a thumbs down. If there is time, I give it four thumbs down, saying out loud, "No racism! No white supremacy! No slavery! No Confederacy!" Maybe one of these days I will get shot. But it will be worth it if it puts a white supremacist in prison for life. I wouldn't mind a martyr's death in support of "liberty and justice FOR ALL."

A really good article about the lunatic fringe of vegans

BestWithoutGods comments on Dec 6, 2018:

Eating vegan is a good thing. This article only illustrates that ANYTHING, good or bad, can be taken to extremes and become evil. Suppose, for example, that agnostics and atheists go to an extreme, and demand that all theists be stoned to death. That would be taking a good thing to an evil extreme. I am a vegetarian leaning toward vegan. It is my choice, and I respect other people's choices. I can sit down at a meal with my omnivore friends and relatives, and I will not object when they order a steak. I will not order meat, but I do not throw a tantrum when others do.
