If only ✝️ / ☪️ was just personal & private. It’s not. It seeks to rule society. Atheists get loud! We’ve fought against forced prayer in school, ✝️-based homophobia, Lords Day acts, ✝️-defined roles for women, anti-MAID, anti-abortion, book-banning. It’s religion that won’t leave the rest of us alone.

“Believing there is no God” is not the same as “not believing in God”. ✝️s & ☪️s - call them collectively Spiritists - tend to hold the first opinion of atheists; that atheism is a belief. It is not. It is a dismissal. I can’t be bothered actively believing there is no God, no Bigfoot, etc. I’m busy.

“The way to erase Woman’s independent will is to impregnate her. Life must take its inevitable course: to birth or still-birth. Medical intervention is forbidden. Rape & Fate rule Woman; Choice belongs to Man. Why God is One, ‘He’, and has no partners. Call it Bible Law, Texas Law, Qur’anic Law.”

“It’s bordering on fascism … talks about how companies are better run than governments because they have a single decision maker—a dictator, basically. He is hostile to the idea of democracy. … he would explain it as belief in efficiency and results”
Paypal cofounder Peter Thiel is famous for destroying media outlets, not paying taxes, and being a conservative tech billionaire.

A new biography, The Contrarian, suggests that he is after more than riches.

So 🇨🇦 news reports that Trump now “respects” 🇨🇦 … why? A Trump post saying “Prime Minister” & “positive”. And 🇨🇦 news BELIEVES it!!

D. Smith sent a back channel message to Trump: pause attacks on 🇨🇦 so that 🇨🇦 anger subsides & PP gets more votes. So Trump’s pretending nice … a ploy, lie & lure

"The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter."

Smthg new arose with ✡️-&-✝️ (-300 to +300): the intrusion of MORALITY into PIETY

Before then,

PIOUS Zeus-ists did not combat devout Apollo-ists. Poseidon devotees didn’t denounce Ceres worshippers, etc

Ever since morality fused with piety,

we’ve had nonstop MORAL disapproval of the body

🧪 📌 Nullius in verba
"an expression of the determination ... to withstand the domination of authority and to verify all statements by an appeal to facts determined by experiment."
The Royal Society motto is "Nullius in verba". It refers to the longer phrase below. The idea is clear: the only guidance is the scientific pursuit of truth - ignoring the words of authorities. The current situation is a perversion of this.

Communism:
- income equality
- equal say for all
- no bosses
- politically, no one can advocate for an unequal society

Has there been or is there such a society? If “no”, then let’s stop talking of “communist” countries.

✝️s & ⚛️s nonsense about atheists do this, atheists say that

Atheists don’t exist!

Think of skiers & non-skiers: the former is a group; the latter isn’t

There are no non-skiers meetings, no non-skiers announcements or marches

Non-skiers - almost everyone - have nothing in common. There’s no “they”
