I wonder if that was a propaganda video reminding the faithful of the dangers of evil women...and of course all women are seductresses. TBH, it's hard for me to think that happened, but religious people do very strange things.

It seems like every other year or so a Christian will kill themselves and maybe their kids bc gawd sed so. Sometimes that's self-mutilation like Paul encourages and sometimes it's going into a snowstorm. Muslims in many disparate areas think killing gays, infidels and uppity women is just swell too.

I can't remember which atheist said this, but I rape exactly as much as I want to. That number happens to be zero bc rape is disgusting and I don't need goat herder (lol or goat fucker) holy words telling me not to rape, murder...

I do think religion had enormous utility for most humans at one point but I keep paraphrasing a favorite mental health truism, what you once did to survive is your greatest limitation.

Regarding your last sentence, why should one not commit these crimes if he or she can get a living or get richer, given that they won't be caught? Why exactly, at an individual level is it better to respect others rather than try to better yourself at other's expense? This might sound ridiculous, but in a poor society, it's a valid question. For such a society to grow, people need to be able to trust each other. If the society is at a stage where it can meet most of the individual needs, trust would be easier to establish. On the other hand, in dog eat dog kind of society, we need something else to foster trust. Shared religion might be one such tool. Fear of consequences in the afterlife etc is a good deterrent from committing crimes and hence a tool to build trust.

Really good people would not need the threat of the flames of hell to keep them from molesting young girls.
That's us, guys. I'm proud of you all.

I'm curious to understand why you said "women/human" Human comes from the Latin word Humanus meaning "of man." Evil exists everywhere but it seems to concentrate around conflict between two religions.

Have you seen Christopher Hitchens discussion of the Ten Commandments?

Atheists can also hate those who are different. Eg. Islamaphobia.

It's a shame Catholic priests were unable to do the right thing.

Very Good.... lower Conscious beings.... we as a civilization have moved far beyond the stone age.

I completely agree. But there are people that need to be treated like dogs; they need a treat when they are good or rubbed their noses in it when they are bad. It's unfortunate that we are not teaching our children respect, accountability and reaponsibility. To be a good person out of the kindness of their hearts rather than recognition. It's simple, but not everyone understands.

Crave structure? I had been on my own agenda since age 12.
