Zionists & Palestinians Problem: Two distinct peoples have legitimate, deeply felt rights to self-determination over the exact same piece of earth. Solution: acknowledgement and compromise.
Zionists

“We are a people with a right to self-determination, and our historic connection to this land gives us a legitimate place to exercise that right.”

Palestinians

“We are also a people with a right to self-determination, and we have lived in and developed our society in this land for generations. Why should another people's self-determination override ours?”

Capital Punishment
Capital punishment.

Protecting the innocent must be our highest priority.
We can hold people accountable for even the most terrible crimes, and impose serious punishment where necessary, without believing that they deserve to die.
Justice should protect society and uphold the dignity of human life, not become an instrument of vengeance.

Hitler vs Trump
A person who recognises no moral obligation beyond their own interests may be especially reprehensible, even if their actions do not approach the scale of atrocities committed by an ideological dictator.

Personal ambition & self-enrichment can constitute profound moral corruption, even without an explicitly genocidal ideology.

Bible "The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people." I think even for most worshippers this religious rhetoric is a bridge too far! That's why it's seldom preached!

Dear religious fellow humans, I don't mean to take your god away ...
Dear fellow humans,

Whilst an unbeliever, I don't mean to take your god away, but only the parts that couldn't belong to a being, claimed to be omnipotent, omniscient and omni-benevolent.

Sadly it seems ultimately EVERY single religion falls short in this regard.

May a perfect god reside in your mind, but, better disregard the bits that don't belong!

Much love,

Your fellow human Impiety@noholyscripture.bsky.social

FACT America isn't running out of ammunition in the literal sense, but IS RUNNING SHORT OF CERTAIN CRITICAL MUNITIONS relative to the demands of sustained high-intensity warfare, & THE U.S. INDUSTRIAL BASE CANNOT REPLENISH some of them QUICKLY ENOUGH! That's a SERIOUS military-readiness ISSUE!

Preaching I can put up with god-worshippers' proselytism of religion, especially because I know followers are commanded to do so by their clever, well-funded, religious PR department, but I can't and won't put up with the many lies, false claims, sanctimony and misinformation!

The Bible is a 100% manmade book, containing some poetry, some good morals, many plagiarised from previous myths, but it's also littered with errors, contradictions, misconceptions, misogyny, homophobia, cruelty. The Epic of Gilgamesh, The Instructions of Ptahhotep, The Pyramid Texts are all older.

Thank you, Voxy. I just turned on extra notifications for your posts, so will less likely miss them in future. But unfortunately I lack time to reply/respond to everyone's posts every time, because I even lack time to peruse all posts. I regularly miss good posts. 😢 Enjoy your day! 🧡

Morality is not contingent upon the existence of a transcendental being, a god!
Morality is not contingent upon the existence of a transcendental being.

Ethical values and principles arise from human reason, empathy, and social cooperation. Throughout history, societies have developed moral frameworks based on shared experiences, cultural norms, and the collective pursuit of well-being, all without reliance on divine authority. Morality is a human construct, shaped by our capacity for reflection, compassion, and the desire for justice, rather than a mandate from a higher power.

Faith in Biblical God is a hindrance to peace.
Faith in Biblical God is a hindrance to peace

I believe most worshippers of Scripted gods (such as Abrahamic god), have never deeply, seriously, questioned the origins of their beliefs, especially the possibility that their gods are human constructs.

If it wasn't that I am convinced that Faith in these (Scripted) gods does on balance more harm than good to world peace, I wouldn't criticise religion.

To be good, we do not need gods, nor prayers; we need to listen to our moral conscience, exercise compassion, and take responsibility for the consequences of our actions.

Be good, be kind.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM Religious extremism in all forms, from the rise of Christian Nationalism to Islamist extremism, must be opposed! Everyone has an absolute right to their own beliefs, but those BELIEFS SHOULD NEVER BE USED TO OPPRESS OTHERS, TAKE AWAY HARD-WON FREEDOMS, OR DOMINATE PUBLIC LIFE.

"Jesus died for us on the Cross” (An Inherited Debt)
"Jesus died for us on the Cross” — An Inherited Debt

Imagine parents telling their child:

“You were born owing an enormous, unpayable debt, and it's your fault (even though you don't agree and don't know see how it is your fault). But an innocent member of your family has already suffered and died to pay it for you.  If you reject this claim, you risk being separated from your family and community."

The child is asked to accept not only the (inherited) debt, but the idea that justice required an innocent person to suffer for it.

How sick is that?

Let me be clear ...
Whilst I believe that everyone should be eligible to stand for the presidency, irrespective of their religious beliefs, or lack thereof, as an atheist, I would want clear assurances that any candidate would respect freedom of religion or belief, including the right to hold no religious belief, and uphold the separation of Church and State, including the separation of religion and public education.

Trump is increasingly losing his mind & any morals. If voters can’t, or won’t, recognise when a leader’s mind is failing, what does that say about the health of democracy itself? We DO need an upper age limit, independent medical evaluations & transparency about (genuine, reliable) health records.

Women - religion - misogyny Religions and Scripture regularly lead to, even if voluntary, enslavement of women. Religions groom women to be subservient to men. Sadly it's done so subtle, many women aren't aware. Religious women need a WAKE-UP call.

Anyone noticed Musk's diminishing interest in space travel? Well, he made his money when he sold SPACEX, which now seems to be going down the tube. It will drop even further as the lock-up expiration approaches and more shares become available for sale! Glad I didn't buy any of it!

♀️♂️ ✝️ 🕉️ 🔯 Gender equality and Abrahamic religions are fundamentally incompatible!
Gender equality and Abrahamic religions are fundamentally incompatible—because their foundational texts, traditions, and institutional structures have historically and systematically enforced patriarchal hierarchy, subjugating women to male authority. From Genesis 3:16’s decree that 'thy husband shall rule over thee' to the exclusion of women from religious leadership, interpretation of sacred texts, and legal rights within these faiths, the evidence is clear: these religions were designed to preserve male dominance. As feminist scholars like Karen L. Garst and Barbara G. Walker argue, the perpetuation of Abrahamic religions relies on maintaining gender inequality—not as a byproduct, but as a core feature of their theology and practice.

Dump Religion! Religious nations often struggle with social inequality, oppression & stagnation. This isn’t a coincidence, because embracing reality, through science, reason & evidence-based policy, leads to far better outcomes & more moral justice than clinging to mythical, dogmatic frameworks! ⬇️

I don't care whether people are Republicans, Democrats, or anything else: political labels don’t necessarily define our worth or intentions. But people lose my respect the moment they stop caring about the well-being of fellow humans! Our happiness should be tied to the wellbeing of fellow humans.
