Religiosity only survives through coercion.
They coerce us as children with threats of hell.
Now they make no ambiguous statement that they desire to coerce us by arm of the state by remaking the government into a theocracy under Christian sharia law. This is their stated goal.
A Reminder:
You cannot be Catholic and be “pro-choice.”
You cannot be Catholic and support euthanasia.
You cannot be Catholic and encourage fathers leaving the family.
You’re not imposing morality, you’re imposing RELIGION- which the government is FORBIDDEN from doing according to the first amendment.
Your comic is a garbage lie like most reichwing propaganda is.
Oh! The irony of this post depicting a torture inflicted by the church under the guise of delusion of persecution!
Bitch- you’re the ones who *invented* this torture method.
I’m so Tired of the Moral Argument
<thread 🧵>
“If you don’t believe in god, where does your morality come from?”
It takes a few forms & varies by iteration, but atheists get this one A LOT. Frankly, I get tired of explaining the facts about morality to adults like they’re 5.
Here we go again kids. If you’ve been following me for awhile you know exactly what comes next.
The only appropriate response to someone claiming their god is not mocked is to ruthlessly & vigorously set about mocking that god. It’s science. We’re testing their hypothesis.
Dear forced-birth Christians,
Get it through your thick skull that not everyone believes in your god. God is utterly irrelevant to the issue of bodily autonomy & policy.
The US is a pluralistic, secular nation, not a Christian one. Your religious opinions have no place in law.

A tumor is just as alive as a zygote but I don’t see you crying crocodile tears over a lumpectomy.
I don’t GAF that it’s alive. That’s not in dispute here. What it doesn’t have are special rights to parasitize an I will host. Cope.
UPDATE-
Jake was just released from doing two weeks in solitary last Monday, which were the worst conditions he has EVER been in, and then on Thursday, only 3 days after being released from the hole, 15 guards roughed him up, ripped him from his cell AND THREW HIM BACK IN
Yeah, about that…
This is terrible advice because no matter how much faith you think you have or what those voices in your head are telling you (see paranoid schizophrenia) gravity will NOT spare you.
Don’t jump off cliffs just because the voice in your head says to.
I reject Christianity & it hasn’t turned me trans.
You’re not qualified to speak on what is or isn’t mental illness & your god is utterly impotent to help people suffering from it. ☝️
Oh! Irony, thy name is Wendy!
Wendy here is exhibiting a bad case of projection, & he’s wrong. I don’t want to outlaw Christianity. It’s rendering itself irrelevant- I’m content to let it die & help it along by out reasoning it in the marketplace of ideas. As it should be.
They have deleted this tweet in the time it took me to come across it presumably because it has gone somewhat viral, but the sentiment is sound.
More Christians should get this through their heads, so I retweet it here with the OP identity withheld. What do you think?
If you could embarrass me by my own PFP I wouldn’t use it braintrust.
Why do idiots think doing this is some kind of insult? You dumbasses do it *all the time* & not just to me.
I look awesome. Thanks for noticing.
So… NONE of them. Glad you could clear that up for us. 🙄
We don’t hate your Christian god, we hate you Christians’ behavior. You exist, your god does not.
Happy Friday all you heathens, misfits, & normies!
Well, it is upon us again! Rapture Day! Jesus was supposedly supposed to return at midnight last night (nm the time zone), but as I check my feed this morning it seems it didn’t happen. I’ll try to contain my disappointment. 😒
Changing the DNA in people will make them ineligible for salvation.
The reason is that they are no longer made in the image of God but have become a hybrid.
This is another one of Satan’s plans.
They’re asking what I would do differently than the biblical god if I possessed his unlimited power.
Lemme see…
I would have outlawed slavery rather than condone & sanction it.
Probably would make it impossible for my spokesmen to abuse kids.
Oh goodness- this could be a list…
Morality has an evolutionary basis because empathy, a heritable trait, provides survival & reproductive advantage to social species who cooperate to survive.
Atheist make up les than 1/10 of a percent of the prison population- less than their representation in the general population… but do go on & tell me how we’re the cause of all societal ills.
I’m sure you have data to back up this claim. You do, don’t you?
This is why we atheists are so apprehensive & outspoken about you Christians not having absolute control over our government. You don’t know how to reason these questions for yourself. All that is required to ground sound moral judgment is empathy & reason, & you lack both.
@FearlessExpress
Why ought one to think burning people alive is bad if it is subjective? You are merely asserting it’s wrong. But you are just some man who thinks it’s wrong but that doesn’t mean that I have to. My subjective morality thinks it’s ok
Would Islam welcome Christians into their countries?
We all know the answer.
We either stand up to Islam here in America or get taken over like London and Europe have.
Who feels the same? 🙋♂️
That’s because atheists prefer complex but correct answers rather ones that are simple but WRONG.
Cope harder the world doesn’t fit in your biblical box of Bronze Age thought.
Listen Tom, can I call you Tom? Thanks Tom.
Preventing people from accessing abortion care IS slavery, Tom. Gestational slavery.
And Tom, fk all the way off & mind your own healthcare decisions. Thanks Tom.
Jealous of what!? Your delusions of grandeur? 😂
Dude we’re not jealous of you Christians, we’re annoyed with you. You’re insufferable self righteous busybodies with your nose in our personal lives & healthcare & we’d appreciate it if u’d fk off & take your imaginary god with u.
There is no such thing as a word from god. No one has ever heard a peep from god. All you have are chucklefucks like you quacks claiming to speak for god based on the paranoid delusions of a schizophrenic from the Bronze Age.
Nope.
NOBODY has rights to the usury of another person’s body.
Perish angry you don’t get a say in the healthcare decisions of other people zygote fetishist.
The epidemic of pedophiles isn’t exclusive to Catholicism. Your SBC has plenty of them too.
It appears that they gravitate towards clergy & positions of trust & authority in both.
Incidentally your god is conspicuously absent to do a damn thing to prevent abuse.
There’s a reason that the Catholic Church is filled with homosexuals and pedophiles who molest little boys…This is happening because the institution denies the necessity of the new birth.
This one struck me so funny this morning.
As if god has EVER made a claim & it wasn’t just some guy claiming to speak for god.
Not only that, but scientifically the Bible is a clown show. Science demolishes biblical claims particularly claims to cosmology.
Poor deluded Scot.😂
@FearlessExpress
There has never been a claim God has made that science has refuted,
if you did your research you would find that our solar system and planets around us are fine tuned - designed.
Science understands less than 4% of the universe, and is wrong 98% of the time and changes daily
Terrific question! Allow me to posit a hypothesis. <Thread 🧵>
If evolution is true, the creation story in Genesis is false- it never happened.
If Genesis is false, there is no such thing as original sin.
Atheism is NOT a truth claim & has no ideology at all, much less moral declarations. I love the subtle implication that atheists have no morals; your bigotry is delicious. Most atheists are secular humanists; premise rejected. 🙄
@GOP
Stop pretending you care about the economy of working class people; four decades of failure to improve their lives proves you don’t. 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Why don’t you go propose some more tax cut$ for your wealthy donor$? 🤡🤡🤡🤡
You can’t both be right, but you can both be wrong.
Personally I think the “my god can beat up your god” argument is definitely a winner & you guys should keep going with it.
