"I'm not religious"

Can't say I've ever had to explain anything more than that.

So how will you teach little girls that they're the problem? How will you fondle little boys? How will you comitt a genocide to prove that your religion is more moral?

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

You can do all of those without having to actually believe in a specific religion. And the first two happen very easily without religion.

The last also happens in the absence of religious motivation quite a bit.

For real. Literally you can just say, "You are the problem. All girls and women are the problem." There's zero need to bring God into the equation to live a good, normal life.

It's a sarcastic counter to the typical arguments that there's no inherent morality in human culture without religion. You know, people don't naturally have empathy, so they have to be taught to simulate empathy because they beleive they'll be judged when they die.

But what does that have to do with my comment?

[–] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 19 hours ago

If you're not religious, how else do you achieve any of the things I mentioned?
