Religion is not prerequisite to morality, in fact it often stifles it. UK based antidote to Abraham's fairytales. #Astronomy #Cosmology #Physics #Reality #Lefty

20 years ago today I made the most difficult decision of my life and walked away from an abusive spouse, leaving behind two confused and upset children. Even now, one of them still won’t have anything to do with me beyond the occasional brief exchange on facebook.

Is "Saudi Arabia had Jamal Khashoggi killed" Islamophobic?
Is "Michael Barrymore let a kid drown in his pool" Homophobic?
Is "Israel taught US cops to kneel on prisoners' necks" Antisemitic?
The accuracy of the claims is debatable, but they're not hate speech. #RebeccaLongBailey
Now that we can see how it's playing out in reality, maybe the writers *didn't* try to fit too much crazy shit into the final season of #GameOfThrones.
Maybe this is just how it pans out every time.

Doesn't care about normal people 👍

I think it's safe to say we've established that 'asking' in these situations has been proven futile.

This is me April 2018 V March 2020. I had weight loss surgery on the day of the first pic. I know I shouldn't have let myself get into that predicament, but nonetheless I did. And having someone else help me solve my issues is no reason to be ashamed. Sometimes we need help.

I feel uneasy agreeing with any member of the materially-elite toff class, but I'm with him on this one.
Despite the original objective of these superstitions, subscribing to them DOES NOT justify unnecessary cruelty to humans or any other animals. standard.co.uk/news/uk/boris…
Is there anything good that’s done in the name of a religion that cannot be done in the name of simple decency?
Now think of all the bad thing that can only be done under the guise of ‘religious endeavour’.
This is me. Literally - it’s me.
I can’t get my head around it.

If it transpired that the Abrahamic god *did* in fact exist, I'd be even less inclined than I am currently to worship it.
A FICTIONAL evil, insecure, vain, fickle, hateful, egomaniac is bad enough, but a REAL one would be even worse.
