    The problem I’ve been realizing over the last few years is that while I have no need for religion myself, there are a lot of “if there wasn’t a god, why doesn’t everyone go around killing each other all the time” types out there. Things might be even worse if religion wasn’t there to make those ones control themselves.

      It’s truly terrifying. “If there’s no hell, what’s stopping you from raping and murdering.”

      Nothing. I rape and murder as much as I want to, but incidentally that amount is zero.

      The truthism that there’s no morality without Jesus is the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard and it’s an absolute testament to the intelligence of religious people
