The source of all evil
#41
RE: The source of all evil
I really find it interesting, just to back up a bit, how anyone can say they need an "authority on morality". I'm not trying to sound superior or anything, I genuinely don't get it. I've never gone out of my way to harm anyone, I've never stolen anything (well, apart from the odd youthful indiscretion), even the thought of killing another creature, even spiders, sickens me - and I'm an arachnophobe in the truest sense. I always hold doors open for others, ladies first and all that, I try to be as honest as I can, if I am in a position to help someone I do it without hesitation. My point is I don't need to wake up every day and be told how not to behave. For me, and I don't consider myself any more or less moral than anyone else, it happens automatically, instinctively.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Yeah, Stim, but the devotees of the Good Book ( which ever good book that may happen to be ) don't have your attention span. They need to know that their personailzed sky-daddy is watching them every moment of the day otherwise they'll revert to the jungle apes from whence they came... even though they don't believe in evolution because they think the aforementioned sky-daddy made them from dirt.

Yet I'm the one with a one-way ticket to fiery torture because although I'm generally a good lad, I don't want to join their club.

(Yes, I do know that not all theists believe in this stuff. I was generalising, which of course one should never do.)

And the Lord/Allah wants your trip to hell to start right here, right now, because He commands His flock to kill you and your dependents for UNbelieving.
The Evangelicals and the Roman Catholics, and the Shiites and Sunnis, are called to fulfill His Command. When they unite the Inquisition/witch hunts will rise again.
