Its scary that people need hell to not commit crimes and stuff like that.
"I already commit all the murder and rape I want. The number of times I want to rape and murder just happens to be 0." - Penn Gillette
Tbf, there were a few times I've wanted to murder some people.
same. But it's not fear of God that keeps me from doing it. It's the dread of going to prison.
Just like Taco Guy. He knows there are no tacos in prison so he lives life in such a way to avoid prison.
For me I'd say its a mix of legal repercussions AND knowing that murder is wrong and that a society that allows it isnt really a safe society to be a part of, so while someone might be being awful enough to me that the thought crossed my mind, maybe I should go find somewhere to cool down. But, like you said, god had nothing to do with any of that
The legal repercussions would be a secondary thing to me. I have no problem breaking an unjust law if I think I can do so. I do not feel the slightest bit of guilt violating drug laws.
If I murdered someone? I wouldn't be able to live with the guilt.
True, and since probably neither of us are in the heat of murderous anger right now, let's think back to that time we HAVE been in the heat of murderous anger, And I'm telling you, that sonofabitch DESERVES it, right?! He COMPLETELY DESTROYED my life and he KNOWS it, and he will never even acknowledge it or apologize. Even now the only reason I'd regret following through with this ideation is the dread of prison and losing all my freedoms forever. But yeah, these guys are safe, at least from MY wrath. I moved 2000 miles away. But surely they fuck up a lot of things and a LOT of people are equally angry at them, so hopefully karma does its thing with them.
This comment is a bit of a ride. I'm not super sure what the end point of it was, but I send hugs regardless.
LOL thank you, I was just venting. I don't get any opportunities whatsoever to vent about that particular issue that's always quite a bit of PTSD. Thank you for the hugs. I'm a good person that did not deserve to be wronged by those two people.
I can empathize with that, and I'm happy to have been an ear when you needed it. People can be unnecessarily cruel at times.
Murder might be too specific, but there are definitely people I wish just didn’t exist anymore
Fuck, that's such a damn good quote.
Both points, being A: Controlling the population when they are already adult and B: Controlling the population by raising them "correct", are equally valid, though. Imo
The number of apparently utterly batshit insane potential criminals that are only held in check (barely) by religion in the US is quite disturbing.
The reality is that they aren't held in check. Rural crime is widely underreported because cops in the boonies won't take a report about domestic violence unless it involves a trip to the hospital
unfortunately, this is often true in big cities as well.
things are a lot better in that regard than they used to be. dv is no longer by default regarded as a "private matter," laws and resources have improved.
on the flip side, dv can be hard to prove, especially to a busy cop or judge. and policing is also not a profession averse to abusers.
edit typo
As an atheist I can't tell you how many Christians have asked me why I don't just rape and murder people if I don't believe in hell. Tells me everything I need to know about that POS.
If I need hell to control my behavior I might as well be running around doing this
which frankly sounds better
Brain - Candied
Tapeworm - Fed
Heads - Crushed
Chicken- Ladied
Take that, atheists 😎
Agreed. If the only that stops some people from committing crimes is the threat of supernatural punishment, then they have the morality of an insect.
I’m willing to bet that insects have far better morals.
