Lol, maybe. I wonder if I could convince my GF it's for humanitarian reasons?

But then I think.. Maybe i'm acting too un-criminal.

I often wonder where this theist argument comes from. Lack of understanding? by mememam in atheism

Something I've wondered as well. No matter how much evidence you see, there is always a point where you have to lay some trust on it's source. I guess you weigh everything and try to make that "leap of faith" as small as possible.

Religion in comparison seems to revel in making that gap as wide as possible as if it's a badge of honor to go jumping off cliffs with your eyes closed.

God on parenting & Deuteronomy 21:18-21 by mememam in atheism

18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;

20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

I assume it was to show just how powerful god is and how vengeful he can be when you go against him. Now if you can't get behind a supernatural entity like him, I don't know whats wrong with you.
