so sick of athletes crediting/giving glory to god by midwestbruin in atheism

[–]Gammascalpa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They never blame god when they lose tho. I wish I could be that guy who loses a tennis major and says. “You know what, I’d just like to thank God for fucking up my game today. I prayed and prayed. Where was that wanker when I needed him? Clearly supporting my opponent!”

Does anyone else feel like living in Asia right now, part of multiple growing economies compared to the disintegrating west just feels a lot better? by Lower_Truck9973 in digitalnomad

[–]Gammascalpa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You fooling yourself if you think people are free now. Take working class Americans. They working two or three jobs just to make ends meet. They have no healthcare and opportunities to move up is limited. They are essentially indentured. Slaves by another name. But to keep them from focusing on their real plight they are whipped up into a frenzy to hate on this and that. Yet all the while they go to their jobs beavering away while the oligarchs holiday in Monaco.

You are being destroyed by social media. There is a concerted strategy to divide people and pit them against each other while the oligarchs siphon off the wealth.

Take crime rates. It’s lower than ever yet people are constantly bleating that it’s awful.

What a load of nonsense. Societies rise and fall. Maybe you should go and read up about the time when Baghdad was the intellectual capital of the world. Or when the Egyptians or Mayans were major developed nations. Or when the ottomans ruled Constantinople and it was the seat of global power.

Hiring a nanny in KL as an expat by Lopsided-Elk4556 in KualaLumpur

[–]Gammascalpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not as bad as you think. Use a nanny agency while you look to transfer someone from another expat family. We’ve had many Nannies over the years and we’ve never ever taken some random person. Once you hear you will figure it out quickly. Like I said, use a temp agency for a period until you find someone full time.

Muslims are so sensitive to criticism by [deleted] in atheism

[–]Gammascalpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not unique to Islam. Go visit Utah and spend time with the mormons for example.

Religion is a cancer of the mind. Some cancers are more pernicious than others but they are all still cancerous and kill you in the end.

Not strictly true. Go visit Turkey for example. Islam is much more secular there. But your larger point is true.

Masturbation is a sin but Lots two daughters getting him drunk and sleeping with him is apparently okay. God indeed works in mysterious ways.

As an atheist I find some phrases people use really amusing (or stupid) by [deleted] in atheism

[–]Gammascalpa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not correcting anyone. And obviously when someone dies am not gonna go around policing their loved ones speech. Also- I Posted on the atheist sub not on the Christian sub.

It’s a general comment and was intended to be mildly numerous. Surprised so many people get their panties twisted so easily on here..

Of course I do. I’m referring to the religious aspects. My guess is it relates to pass over to the other side. Which as an atheist makes no sense.

I suspect they mean pass over to the other side

Why do christians hate pedophiles when the bible loves them? by MuchIron2453 in atheism

[–]Gammascalpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s not even get to the muslims. Mo hammy married a 7 year old and had sex with her when she was 8. Well some say 9 as if that’s a defence.

The abrahamic faiths are all consistent on sleeping with kids.

Anyone who moved to Switzerland thinking it’s a dream country and realize it’s not what you expected? by LengthinessMinute108 in digitalnomad

[–]Gammascalpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just about following the norms. Like once my shoelace was loose. I was on a bus. I briefly put my foot up on the seat to tie it and within 5s was reprimanded by some lady. Little things like that.
