"The voices tell me."A little lady just asked me how I know what's good and evil if I don't believe in god. It took all my willpower not to roll my eyes. Are there people who think I eat puppies, spit on the less fortunate, and throw grandmas into the ocean because god doesn't tell me not to? x.x
?it is dangerous and disadvantageous to exist within an insulated bubble of "yes men". conversely an environment composed of "no men" especially in early vulnerable stages may negatively influence the development of the organism
it is as if we are all cannabis plants just trying to grow and you had two plants one was coddled and nurtured indoors and never hardened off so it can't take the outdoors shit and then you had another that was outdoors from the get go but when it's real little it can't stand the strong winds and early morning frosts
hmmmm that's dEeP bro
Philosophy and psychology. Real smart stuff. Above my pay grade (apparently).

Not sure whom told you these things but they were completely off base and incorrect. Believe in God if you feel lead, but guilting someone into it is absolutely wrong and improper. We all have free will - believe what you feel is morally right and correct for your soul.As a fellow card carrying member of the baby-eating atheist community yes, that is exactly what they think of us.
Things I have been told,
"You cannot be moral without the fear of god."
"You cannot raise moral children without religion."
"You cannot show empathy without god."
"You cannot decide right from wrong without god."
Yes these are things that fundamentalist theists believe about those of us who didn't come into this world installed with subservient serf to spirit space daddy as our base programming.
I reply with my shamelessly stolen canned response from Penn Jillette, "... 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 imaginary being watching over them that they would go on killing, raping rampages is the most self-damning thing I can imagine."
It truly scares me when i realize that there are communities of people who condemn like... my whole ass shit because of my lack of religion. And I am the kid who happily goes to other religion's services on a sunday to observe, learn, and respect. Just because i like seeing happy people.As a fellow card carrying member of the baby-eating atheist community yes, that is exactly what they think of us.

God Damnit.It truly scares me when i realize that there are communities of people who condemn like... my whole ass shit because of my lack of religion.

I was not allowed back sometime in 4th grade at the last catholic school I attended. My parents went through three before that, then I went to public school lolI grew up Catholic, made it all the way until I hit junior in highschool and I finally told my mom enough of this god damn church and CCD bullshit!

Every summer I would go down south to live with my Father. He’s a reborn Christian. Every Sunday church and youth group. I also spent my whole sophomore year there. Holy shit, if you think Catholic Church is boring AF, which yes it is, you really gotta experience the other side of it and see the nut jobs that show up at that type of chuch. Speaking in tounges, dancing. Saving motherfuckers in a indoor pool. Couldn’t save my ass LMAO!
I’m an Athiest.
I could not imagine going to a catholic school. Glad you made it out bro.I was not allowed back sometime in 4th grade at the last catholic school I attended. My parents went through three before that, then I went to public school lol![]()
they must have put a special sign up on my house after the first lot of jahovis whitnasis came round to try converting me as we've never had them coming back again or any others lol , one of them was a very sexy young woman too, nice try,A little lady just asked me how I know what's good and evil if I don't believe in god.
