I have a problem with Blasthemy as an athiest

[KUSA]

You came out of a Goddamned clit? Jesus fucking Christ!

Actually I have a friend who has said he doesn't like the "Golden Rule". He likes the intent of it but thinks it should be

"Do not do to others what you would not want done to you".

Not "Do onto others as you would want done to you".

Actually I think it is nether and both, because life is case by case and messy and imperfect and even both of these are subject to point of view.

I think all humans evolved with a sense of empathy and at the same time a sense of wanting to protect themselves. I find cliches a horrible way to guide ones life.

Interesting spin on things, I think that the bible has some principles right on how to life live, but just executes them in the worst way imaginable...

Cherry pick any religion in the world and certainly you can find kind words and kind depictions in all of them. Unfortunately most humans cant see that it should tell them that their actions do not come form a book or a religion, their actions are evolutionary.

Our species ability to be cruel or compassionate is in our evolution, not our labels. I don't even like it when atheists treat the word "atheist" as if it is a moral code.

"Atheist" merely means "off" on god claims. It is not a religion. It is not a political party, it is not a loyalty oath. I know of atheists who like Ayn Rand's "fuck you I got mine" economic views which republicans and libertarians like as well. I know other atheists who want to rid the world of the private sector and think Che which lead to Cuba is a cure for humanity, and I am no fan of that either.

Our behavior is in our evolution, not in the labels we assign ourselves or others. I think the more we look at individuals and put the bitching and labels on the back burner, the more peaceful the world will be. There is no such thing as a utopia on any issue. There is no class utopia, no race utopia, no political utopia, or religious utopia. There are just humans who group.

Our common problems like poverty and pollution and disease and education and economic stability should be important worldwide. Our differences will not go away, but things like blasphemy or getting offended are childish compared to what our constant fighting as a species will do to us.

I feel guilty, even when I don't believe that is a bad thing to do anymore, how can I remedy this?

Blaspheme often. Blaspheme daily. Blaspheme when everyone or no one is looking, goddammit!

Blasphemy is like exercising a muscle. It gets stronger the more you do it.

Jesus Fucking Christ in a sidecar!

Like so.

Just don't deny the Holy Ghost or you're going straight to hell!

I'd wipe diarrheic dog shit in Christ's wounds if He were here right now.

Oh, wait, it would have to be cat turds, no dog.

[SteelCurtain]

The guilt is just a vestige of deconverting.

It will pass with time.

[Jenny A]

Blasphemy requires a belief in god, because blasphemy is doing something that offends god or at least what people think would offend their personal version of god. What you need to get over is the idea that blasphemy and immorality are the same. They are not though there is considerable overlap.

[Delysid]

Goddamit.

[Angrboda]

Well, there are two answers. First, from psychology is the concept of 'desensitizing' - you engage in the behavior a bit at a time until you feel comfortable all around. The other is that you just not blaspheme if it causes you guilt.

Of the two I'd say it's probably not a good time in your life to blaspheme. But as SC said, it will likely pass.

[Minimalist]

There really is only one way to help you.

You could have a good look around at God's creation, the millions suffering and dying a senseless death, children with cancer, dreams being crushed, heaps of cruelty. And when you have seen enough, a "Jesus fucking Christ! God, you're such a shit" might just come naturally and from the heart

Btw, it's called "Phagynah"
