Be sceptical of religion without wishing harm on believers. Celebrating threats against innocent Muslims or Christians, especially children who haven't had the chance to choose a belief, is disturbing.
As an Atheist, I believe morality comes from shared humanity and empathy.

It’s hard not to think that if epstein had been abusing boys the way he abused girls, those (men) in power would have moved heaven and earth to stop him, simply because they would have seen themselves in those victims.

Think of religion as the HR department of ineffective governance. It convinces people that tolerating bad governance and suffering is acceptable, reassuring them they have God's attention at a future date, while framing it as either divine will or a test of their faith.

The worship of money and admiration for the wealthy explain why many remain silent about those connected to a notorious child abuser. It's a disturbing reflection of our values.

ICE’s new policy directing agents to ignore the 4th Amendment is one of the most frightening things we’ve seen yet. And there’s no telling where it could end up. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Something I find fascinating.
Genesis 6 :6 - 7: God “regrets” making humanity and sends the Flood.
1 Samuel 15:11: God “regrets” making Saul king.
But, Isaiah 46:9-10 tells us this same God is said to be omniscient, knowing all things, including the future.
Alright, then.

One of the main reasons trump won was that many people didn't think this whole chaos would affect them; the same can be said for Brexit.

trumpism is Christian fundamentalism:
– God using deeply flawed men (David, Jacob) as “divine instruments”
– Children dying are framed as God’s will, example; the Egyptians, 1st born/Amalekites.
– Suffering is seen as deserved punishment. Amos 3:6 or Isaiah 45:7
– God has favourite nations.

It often seems that some people want to benefit from a bad situation rather than improve it. Their complaints stem from feeling excluded from those benefits.

Talking with a pastor today, it hit me: many Christians may subconsciously see Trump as echoing traits of the biblical God; wealthy, loves gold, harsh yet framed as loving (think Job), demands loyalty, favours certain groups, and inspires unwavering devotion.

Never underestimate the addictive pull of racism, tribalism, and jealousy. It’s said to hit like heroin, though its side effects are infinitely more destructive.

Is Farage, through his comments about Manning, essentially saying that it's acceptable to be racist because it was considered acceptable at the time he was doing it?
Is it that nasty people are now in charge, or that people are now ok with elevating stupid people to punish others.

There’s a growing number of people on this App who insist that different races can’t get along, and all seem obsessed with attacking London.
But London’s multiculturalism, the fact that you can experience any culture any day, is exactly what they can’t stand.
Racists are liars.

Understanding trump supporters is similar to deeply ingrained bigoted religious beliefs. Regardless of how their leader or God may engage in violence, corruption, or immorality, what truly matters to them is how he destroys his opponents and the feelings this evokes in them.
