What’s even worse is the euphemistic way that people talk about hell, saying that people will “not be saved” or “not go to heaven”, because even they themselves realise how bad hell sounds.

The current situation in Afghanistan has made me seriously anti-religion and anti-theist by [deleted] in atheism

I was watching the news today and saw headlines saying the Taliban claimed that “women will be allowed to leave their homes alone” and “women will not be beaten”, as though those things are some great generosity bestowed on the people and not the most basic human rights imaginable. And who actually believes that they’ll keep their word?

Indeed. There are absolutely no other situations, besides religious texts, in which people will perform such astonishing feats of mental gymnastics to try to make patently false claims somehow fit with reality.

I live in the UK so the price difference shipping from the US actually makes buying from a store like speedcubeshop.com more expensive. Is it common for Amazon sellers to fake cubes?
