All the sexual repression the bible espouses makes more sense when you find out the Israelite's neighbors were the Babylonians who liked orgy festivals, and the Greeks who thought you couldn't become a man unless you drank enough semen. The Israelites wanted to be different, so they restricted the former while banning the latter. Now we have an American society that's based on puritan beliefs and repressed sexual urges.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

They hate it because you know some people get a kick out of bondage and stuff. Funny enough porn stars hate that movie i was going to write a paper on it.

God hates SCUBA.
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.'

I wonder what it was like to be an atheist back in the 1700s or 1800s or even the early 1900s?

I was born in the fifties. Until 1976 I was alone, the only atheist I knew. I'd heard of Madalyn Murry, of course, and of the Russians, but I didn't personally know any other atheists.

There had to be other atheists around, even in Kansas, where I grew up, but we couldn't admit who we were, so we couldn't find each other.

The world is so much better now. But you wouldn't have to go back very far to experience something very different.
