‼️ When scripture & religion intersect with power, the result is often a potent force, that often enables sanctimony, exclusion, & oppression. Peaceful coexistence between believers & non-believers requires moral universalism: fairness, compassion, & justice must apply equally to every human being!

This creep walks into his rape trial carrying a Bible, hoping to thus lower his sentence. Why do these creeps only find god just AFTER they've raped. Anyone who doesn't find that suspicious is very gullible!

Fact.

Women - Religion - Misogyny Too often, religion is weaponised, not as a source of moral guidance, but as a tool of oppression, to justify the subjugation, especially of women.

Have a lovely weekend, my dear friends. 💛

There are no winners in Trump's regime; except for the very rich!

Republicans damn well know Donald Trump is the most diabolical, unhinged, creepy, depraved politician in America! But they just all lost the plot! They're so beyond ashamed, they pretend it's all just not happening. Wake up you fools; YOU TOO WILL BE VICTIMS of this creep!

Does anyone spot red ribbons or 'Forbidden' when trying to engage with my content?

What do Dolly the Sheep and Jesus Christ have in common? Dolly the Sheep and Jesus Christ are both proof 😉 that the production of the most famous figures in history didn’t require sexual intercourse! 😄

Atheism versus Faith in god. Atheism, in its broadest sense, is simply the ABSENCE OF BELIEF IN DEITIES due to insufficient, convincing evidence—not a claim that 'god does not exist' with absolute certainty. Belief in God can only be a matter of Faith, due to absence of empirical proof.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

@jd-vance-1.bsky.social Giving the Pope unsolicited advice, because clearly, 2,000 years of papal wisdom needs a fresh take from a guy who turned Catholic a few years back, maybe to help advance his political career? Maybe apply for the Papal job next time? Your arrogance knows no bounds!

The Holy Trinity So the Trinity is supposed to be God’s perfect, clear truth… but it took about 300 years and a bunch of arguments to figure it out? Strange how something 'eternal' needed that much time to be explained. What a crock of shite!

Because they know that it would destroy the Republican Party!?

Biblical god! A most powerful creator who can't speak for itself! 😉

Trump has become fully unhinged and we should talk about it. www.ms.now/morning-joe/...

Pointing out the flaws, misconceptions, or injustices within religion isn’t an act of evangelism for atheism, it’s a call for honesty, accountability, and critical thinking! Just as we’d critique any ideology or institution, religion must not be/isn't exempt from scrutiny.

Religion has grown accustomed to a free ride in the marketplace of ideas -- to unearned deference. All one has to do is question it just an tiny bit and suddenly there are charges of "persecution", "hatred", "bigotry".

Donald Trump thinks his supporters are stupid. And he's right for once, but that doesn't mean Donald Trump isn't himself stupid, and on top of that uncouth, vulgar, manipulative, dishonest, pretentious, vindictive, belligerent, and utterly depraved!

Iran - FACT Only 32% of Iranians explicitly identify as Shia Muslim, while 10% declare themselves nonreligious and 24.1% as moderately religious. A striking 73% of Iranians favour the SEPARATION OF RELIGION AND STATE, and oppose mandatory hijab laws! Iran needs change, but not Trump's way.

As an atheist, I never mean to hurt believers, many of whom, like myself, were indoctrinated from childhood, when resistance to indoctrination is almost impossible. For many the struggle for survival often leaves little time or energy to question their Faith. I deplore RELIGION, not its followers!

Trump has shared an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus Christ after attacking the Pope. If I were to promote Christianity to advance my political career, I surely wouldn't attack the highest authority on Christianity! Will MAGAs again prove they've sold their soul to this devil & stand by him?

⁉️ 'God exists outside time & space.' That specious claim conveniently makes the idea of god impossible to test or disprove. If something explains everything without evidence, it explains nothing! Why plug the gaps in our understanding with fantasy? Why not start from what we can actually know?

Followership True growth comes from engagement, not from (religious or other) devotion. Respect wisdom, but don’t surrender your judgment to ANYONE! Not even to religious characters, such Yahweh, Jesus, Allah, or Muhammad. Follow your conscience! Nothing else deserves that authority.

Religious sects & organizations often end up with high rates of sexual abuse due to a combination of unchecked power dynamics, structural secrecy, & psychological manipulation of members. These environments silence victims through fear, shame, and religious dogma! Religions need more oversight!

"Nothing brings me more happiness than trying to help the most vulnerable people in society."(Lady Diana Spencer) It's what MAGAs sneeringly call 'Woke'. It's what I call admirable! We need more people in power who embody that same compassion and dedication to making a difference!

'INHERITED SIN' Children lack the cognitive & emotional maturity to consent to or reject abstract, arbitrary theological concepts, such as the (baseless, guilt-tripping, shackling) notion of 'inherited sin'. Imposing such notions on children is sheer BRAINWASHING, rather than education.

Science vs god, by Richard Feynman When religious Faith makes claims about reality, it must face the same test as everything else: evidence! Scripture gods fail that test! This must be the best, most honest, most humble talk I've ever listened to on the subject. youtube.com/watch?v=q-Mk...

“Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as you do to the Lord.” — Ephesians 5:22 Such misogynistic verses hand millions of insecure men a script to dress up dominance as divine order, mistaking control for strength & hierarchy for virtue. It'll sadly keep religion alive for far too long.

"Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear." Thomas Jefferson.
