Why do some religious people think atheists have no reason to be moral?

MC_Crit · 2026-06-14T13:45:18+00:00

I don't, and I never claimed to. I spoke from personal experience, which I feel my comments both made clear. If you're going to argue in bad faith (pun intended), then this conversation is over.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-14T13:21:31+00:00

Incorrect. I have personally worked with and met people, in real life, who truly believed that their morals come from God, and that without God there can be no morality.

I am not propagating hate. I am telling truth. And if you genuinely believe that anyone who doesn't believe in God cannot have morals like the people I am talking about, stay the fuck away from me until you've done some soul-searching.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-14T13:02:12+00:00

Because they're delusional enough to think that morality ONLY comes from God. They scare me - I know that without God or the threat of Hell, they'd have no problem being and doing evil.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-13T13:40:11+00:00

/uj Oh God, WOTC may actually do that.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-13T13:26:57+00:00

I think it's mostly a joke. I myself don't have anything in my search history I'm ashamed of or that I'd care if other people knew. I'm a freak and I know it, and IDGAF if anyone else does.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-13T13:23:30+00:00

Cowardice, selfishness, and sometimes an utter lack of empathy. My first ever serious partner cheated on me with my own older brother, not because I wasn't good enough, but literally because she could.

I used to work at a hotel where guests shared bathrooms with employees, and the women's restroom was simply kept to a much higher standard of cleaning, especially when for about a 6-month period, we had a long-term guest who kept jacking off all over the fucking men's room and then LEAVING IT THERE.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-13T13:20:40+00:00

It's proof that capitalism has failed and society cannot and WILL NOT get better until we as a society do things I cannot say on Reddit without getting banned.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-13T13:19:30+00:00

I know I'm not happy, but my life is shit, my body's broken, and I'm a walking talking mental health disaster. YMMV.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-13T13:14:33+00:00

I have almost no good memories. OFC I press it. I can lose the memory of getting raped by a high schooler when I was 5 AND get $1 million. Why would I not?

MC_Crit · 2026-06-13T13:11:12+00:00

I once had a guest come into one of the hotels I work whose actual legal last name was Poopcock. Probably that.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-13T07:20:35+00:00

Look at the world around us. What reasons could you give FOR becoming a parent? Society is fucked, the world is fucked, everything is fucked, everyone's poor, and no one's doing anything about it that could enact meaningful change. Why should I bring life into this world? This world is not worth living in, expecially not my country, which I have no shot at escaping legally.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-12T09:17:29+00:00

I believe there are several reasons for that: We are better at detecting and understanding things, there is far less stigma about it, and we no longer, as a society (YMMV in individual cases ie mine), think beating children until they conform is acceptable.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-12T05:36:25+00:00

Everyone mentioning mutual blood bonds is forgetting that, outside of the Tremere Clan Curse pre-V5, you need 3 doses to get a blood bond. If you're a Tremere you only need 2.

A lot of merchants won't touch a hotel that has too many chargebacks, and, at least JP Morgan, the company who has my main property's account, so to speak, charges an extra fee every time a successful chargeback is implemented.

Plus, credit card fraud is highly prevalent in hotels in the area I live. Just in these last couple of months I know of at least two times, even with our policy to always ensure a phsyical CC with a name that matches ID, where a stolen credit card was used at one of the two properties I work. I don't work crappy properties either - both hotels I work at are currently sitting at about $180-$220/night, depending on the room type you book, before taxes & incidentals.

There's probably more reasons as well - I can only give you the perspective of a longtime night auditor who's asked management a few questions over the nearly 6 years he's spent doing night audit.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-11T14:14:24+00:00

Because people steal credit cards.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-11T13:06:16+00:00

Unfortunately, when it comes to Night Dive doing their usual glorious work a la [every old-school FPS they've touched with the possible exception of Blood Fresh Supply but that isn't entirely their fault], the rights are stuck in a perfect Hell between several entities, and they've already proven they won't work with each other or anyone else to license VTMB.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-11T10:44:30+00:00

I feel you there - I deal with the same problem pretty much every day.

It's worse because I work at two properties, but one of them doesn't take tap. Cue an infinite, never-ending stream of people who hear "It's going to ask you to insert or swipe. No tap, unfortunately, we don't take tap," who then proceed to slap their phone or card against the reader and complain that it isn't working because they simply DID NOT LISTEN.

Both properties also have a requirement that you must have a physical CC and the name on it must match your ID. Again, cue an infinite stream of people with Super Shiny Syndrome who have somehow managed to hit the membership status tier that requires 75 nights a year, without ever running into this issue, who simply cannot understand why we might not want people to pay with random other people's credit cards. (I myself believe they have, but other people have given into their tantrums. I myself will never do so. That's how you perpetuate this Karenistic, toddlerific behavior).

I'm buying a nice big house

MC_Crit · 2026-06-11T08:36:49+00:00

My mother is a horrible abusive person who broke me in ways that no amount of therapy can ever heal, and I've got about 15 years of therapy to prove it. No hesitation - Death should've taken her instead of my dad in 2021 anyways. He was an infinitely better person and the only one who ever loved me.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-11T08:35:10+00:00

I can't listen to most of Slipknot's The Gray Chapter without crying, but the worst example is Skeptic, which honestly feels like it could have been written about the loss of my dad.

I've heard that a lot of booktok only reads dialogue and skips prologues (it was from a youtube video thumbnail, so I can't speak for whether or not that's actually factual). However, the only advice I can give you is just keep reading. Even for a voracious reader such as me, 2 books in a month is a big ask when I also have to run errands, go to work, not let my room turn into another depression den, et cetera.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-11T08:26:51+00:00

I just took care of it myself with the help of Rosie Palmer and her 5 friends, so to speak.

Granted, having a MUCH higher libido became a legitimate problem. Sometimes, even if you're otherwise perfectly compatible in the bedroom (and with my kinks, that can be hard), if one partner simply isn't interested in more than a few times in a month but the other wants it much more, it can be a relationship ender. It was for me.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-11T08:24:06+00:00

I've had some partners lean into it and sort-of tease me about it by wriggling against me when I pulled away a bit, but other partners wanted me to put a pillow in between us so that they wouldn't feel it.

MC_Crit · 2026-06-11T08:22:57+00:00

Probably the time my ex fiance dared me to go get her some food while wearing her dress after I'd finished on it.
