According to the Bible story……The cruelty of “righteous anger” is what put Jesus on the cross. It's also what fueled the beheading of heretics, the burning of witches and the hanging of slaves. Righteous anger is dangerous in the hands of the unrighteous.

I've been trying to explain the Project 2025 "worldview" for like 3 years now. And this is pretty much it.

Trump claims crime is down to "virtually nothing" in DC & adds the crimes that are happening are "much lesser things. Things that take place in the home they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight w/the wife they say 'this is a crime. See?'"

If something was created that was never shared, heard or seen, would it still have value? If there were a creator, would it need to include observers of it’s creation for it to have value? And….would it intentionally create something within creation that would devalue it?

Avoiding town halls, dismissing those who depend on social security, shamelessly hawking Tesla stock, firing thousands of veterans... They're telling you exactly who they are accountable to. Hint: It's not you.

God trusted a message of redemption to such unreliable humans, that constantly need to experience his wrath because of their unworthiness and immorality….. But he expects us to listen and trust them, because he is nowhere to be seen?

I am often told I wouldn't believe even if god came and talked to me personally. I don't really don't expect that to happen….so its fine. But…. I fail to see why they think claims of him coming down to talk with other men merits my consideration.

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

This is extortion of an ally: “The terms of the new proposal … call for Ukraine to relinquish half of its revenues from natural resources, including minerals, gas and oil, as well as earnings from ports and other infrastructure.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/w...

That religion damages people seems to be one thing theists and atheists can all agree on. It is assumed by most theists, that religion is the main reason for the unbelief of former believers. Bad theology, bad doctrine, bad churches and bad believers

The Jesus people took out an $8,000,000 ad during the Superbowl to tell us Jesus gets us…….. Obviously, they don't get him. He would have told them to spend it helping the homeless.

This is exactly what we need! AG William Tong (D-CT) and other states are suing Trump and the Secretary of Treasury to block DOGE’s access to confidential records, sensitive data, and critical payment systems. “This represents the biggest data breach in American history, and we are fighting back.”

*Couldn’t post the meme because they referenced him as ‘President… “I know people who are intellectually challenged. I also know people who are dishonest. I know people who are heartless and narcissistic. But l have never met anyone who so seamlessly combines all those characteristics as Trump.

There is speaking freely, and then there is free speech. The two are not exclusive to each other. One is what we do, and the other is a guarantee that we can do it within reason of the truth we express. Truth does not have "versions" or alternative expressions.

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.

Evangelical Christians tell me that my worldview is nihilistic……. Yet their “hope” requires the destruction of me and billions of other souls. What could be more nihilistic than finding hope in that?

The same people who will tell you that 12 disciples of Jesus wouldn't die for a lie…….Will also tell you that every human knows in their heart god exists, but billions choose eternal torment rather than admit it. SMH

The Department of Transportation just issued new guidance banning DOT funds for sanctuary cities and giving priority to communities with “high marriage and birth rates.” Literally DEI for rural, white Republicans.

Religion is when you believe in something with so much certainty, you can’t say “I don’t know” or it will crush your faith. Which is odd because certainty negates faith.

Because I am an apostate, Christians want to explain to me that I never was a “real Christian”. I readily admit that I never knew god. I believed, but god wasn't there. Just be clear, if god exists, it was by his/her/its choice, not mine. I deeply desired to know.
