IT ATE WORMY!!!

[libertarirynn-deactivated202006]

I hope every single disgusting scum of the earth member of the "lifting fandom" rots in jail.

Sorry not sorry. People literally starve to death in Third World countries or have to travel far out of their towns just to get clean water but you’re over here playing at revolution by stealing make up wipes and acting like you’re the one who should be pitied and congratulated. You disgust me.

Why I am non-religious

I am happier to call myself a non-religious person than an anti-religious man. Because my disbelief in God did not arise out of hatred towards religion, but out of my love for Science. 

I actually became an atheist when I was fifteen years old. I was driven towards rationalism after I had realized that rationalistic beliefs are based on scientific understanding of the Universe. Further, I am always more influenced  by scientific views than by religious doctrines. And it has become highly impossible for me believe that the Earth is flat and this world is created out of nothing. Moreover, I do not believe that some supernatural power is controlling our life because I have never received any telepathic signals from Him. 

Later I studied the World History eagerly to find any evidence of God. After my studies, I came to the view that religions have made no useful contributions to the Human History. Instead of helping the progress of humanity, they turned out to be major progenitors of deadly conflicts among people e.g. The Crusades and The Jihads. Some people argue that religion provides mental peace to the human brain and calms it from any confusion. But, I am not at all convinced by this argument. Yes, sometimes it calms our brain from thinking deeply and also switches off our brain from undergoing the difficulties in learning new things. That is why it threw the humanity into Dark Ages for centuries. 

In monoreligious societies of the Medieval Europe, religion resisted any adventure in thought. It incessantly tried to kill both freethought and Sciences. In addition to it, in multireligious countries like India, it has become a source of fierce conflicts which resulted in ghastly massacres. A few months back a Muslim was killed by Hindu fanatics for taking beef. Let us study the case why it happened. Islam allows and encourages Muslims to eat beef whereas Hindus treat cow as a holy animal and worship it besides their thousands of deities. See, one religion encourages eating beef and another religion says it is a sin to kill a cow. This has become the main point of contention between Hindus and Muslims in India. But, how can we resolve this conflict? We can make both these Hindus and Muslims enlightened by imparting the scientific knowledge- the anatomy of both animals and humans. If they understand the Science behind this phenomenon, we can get peace. Until then they will be waging deadly battles against each other according to their ‘Holy’ scriptures. So, the scientific understanding of the world unites people whereas religion inspires them to kill each other.

Is there a God? I do not think there is any supernatural power which controls our life on the Earth. I never saw any God in my life nor received any communication from Him ordering me to do something or not to do something. I lead my life according to my wishes after understanding my role in the human society. I will treat something good if it improves human life in the long run. The thing which does harm to the human life on this Earth is always bad in my view. So, I never declare something good or bad by referring to holy scriptures. All Holy Scriptures in this world are primitive in nature since they contain the knowledge of primitive sciences. They were written when human knowledge is not so advanced as it is now. So, I see them not as standard books of knowledge but as testimonials to the primitive knowledge of our ancestors. Coming to the question of God, I want to ask my religious brethren some simple questions: If there is a Super Being that is controlling our life, why is He creating so much misery in human life? Why is He not stopping crimes? Why is He causing birth defects in the innocent newborn babies? Why is He letting millions of African kids die of hunger? Is God a sadist?

I do not believe in the afterlife either. If we die, our body chemicals get mixed into the elements of the Earth. There is no such thing called 'soul’. All our thinking and biological functions stop with our death. The material that is called body joins the material surrounding it. No visible biological evidence will be present after a few days. As I said earlier, I do not subscribe to the view that this world is created by the Almighty. If a Super Being created this Universe, where does He live? Many scriptures say this world is created out of nothing. I doubt scientific validity of this proposition. Can anybody create something out of nothing? That is why I strongly believe there is no Intelligent Design behind this Universe. It is just there as it is and consists of matter and its many forms. This matter always changes from one form to another. Out of these changes, all living and nonliving things emerge. This world is a continuum of events. One event results into another and the later again causes another event. We understand these events in the form of cause and effect relation because we are highly rational beings on this Earth. But, there are no such things as the first cause and the last cause. The matter in this Universe is continuously changing. If we are not able to understand some phenomenon in this Universe, we need not attribute the cause of such an event to God. It is the limitation of our knowledge that is hindering our understanding of the event. The primitive did the same mistake as we are doing today. He attributed divine power to every phenomenon that he could not understand. That is why, he worshiped the Sun, the trees, and the rocks as well. But today we find no evidence of God in those things. Let us not do the same mistake. If we are not able to understand something now, we will definitely understand it one day in the future. So we need not attribute the reason to God. 

I believe that physical matter is the only reality and all being, processes, and phenomena can be explained as manifestations of this matter. The mind is the function of a physical reality i.e. the Brain. So, you can now comfortably call me 'a Materialist’. But, I will feel happier if you call me 'a Physical Realist’.

Some people don't like the idea that we're animals. By feeling superior, their superego isn't as weighed down by the realization that they aren't as special as they think they are.

[cosmog]

im sorry but what's American milk culture :c

ok……so……in america its pretty widely believed that milk is necessary for healthy bones n all that but it!! is!!!! false!!!!!!!!!

it turns out u dont need 2 drink milk (1 in 4 americans cant even digest it!!)…..however…….the american govt has been pushing it for decades and heres why

back in the day (before wwii) ppl in america didnt even drink milk very often!! it was really only used to survive long winters when it was difficult to grow crops but around wwii the US government started exporting a ton of milk overseas to soldiers bc condensed milk was easy n safe to send n a lot of farmers got rid of their crops & focused exclusively on dairy bc thats where the Biz was. since as u may or may not know the war is what brought the usa out of the great depression….the economy shifted entirely towards supplying the war !

however AFTERWARDS the demand for milk dried up but instead of producing less and letting their excess go to waste the dairy industry decided to convince ppl to drink MORE

“milk/dairy education” campaigns were launched to promote the idea that milk is essential for healthy bones but ITS NOT TRU!!! IN FACT…..a swedish study posted in the british medical journal in 2014 found that not only is there no correlation between stronger bones and milk consumption…..and in fact found that in both women and men higher milk consumption correlated with higher rates of death, and in women who consumed more milk the rates of bone fracture were actually higher. that study followed another large study from 2005 which examined 70k+ nurses and showed again milk had no protective benefit against fractures

SO ANYWAY during the 1940s and 50s THERE WAS STILL too much milk so the govt started buying it up and sending it to the military, schools, and foreign countries as food aid  (it was at this time “american cheese” n shit was created as well…..all bc of the surplus of dairy)

by the 1980s the govt was spending $2bil a year on excess milk!!! during the reagan administration however the milk buying program was finally stopped and the dairy industry was Freakin Pissed

they fought back by convincing congress (thru $$$) to pass a law in which dairy farmers had to pay a Mandatory fee to fund pro-milk advertisement campaigns. the fees also paid for partnerships with large restaurant and food corps to sell dairy heavy menu items (like dominos pizza w 40% more cheese!!)

BUT REMEMBER THE USDA (united states department of agriculture)??? they not only set dietary guidelines……theyre also in charge of most nuitrition-related public campaigns!!! those same ppl tellin u what u should eat……..theyre also the ones in charge of a multimillion dollar campaign to get you to eat cheese pizza (1 slice = 2/3 of a days max recommended amt of saturated fat)

there r A LOT of other foods that provide the same amount or more of calcium, potassium, and sodium as milk…….so why doesnt the govt encourage ppl to drink water instead of milk??? (#GOTMILK etc)

whats up is…..milk lobbyists donate a LOT of money to politicians who protect their interests when nutrition guidelines come up for review (hillary clinton is the 15th top recipient of donations from the dairy industry……if u need another reason to b Suspicious of her) 

SO ANYWAY………….tl;dr milk and dairy products can be part of a healthy diet but the idea that theyre essential is just GOOD OL CAPITALISTIC AMERICAN MARKETING

[oneatheist-blog]

I personally have consumed milk all my life. Also, I have never broken a single bone. This may be by happenstance, but I find that consuming milk along with the calcium provides to make bones stronger. You can't just say, "A study in Sweden..." And expect me to believe everything. Get to work and convince me. Let's see some links.

Modern example of insidious religious oppression: “Wives are to honor and respect and follow their husband’s lead, not to tell their husband how he ought to be a better husband…A lot of people don’t know that marriage comes with instructions. And, we find them right there in God’s word [in the Bible]…Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.”  http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2016/04/kirk-cameron-wives-must-be-submissive/

In “How To Make Your Wife Submit To Your Authority”…”These men are not seeking to stand next to their wives, but over them…tips for  “training” your woman, men demanding nothing less than complete submission by their female partners…The Apartheid-style rules enforced by this brand of Christianity bind men and women into arbitrary and unhelpful roles, and reinforce the most dangerous behaviors in heterosexual relationships. These are the same rules that the Christian Conservative/Evangelical wing of the U.S. Republican party are now working to turn into legislation – making “God’s law” federal law. These groups are busily working the most repressive interpretations of Christian law into the American legal system, and it’s on all liberal, progressive Americans to stop them.” http://churchandstate.org.uk/2015/03/how-to-make-your-wife-submit-to-your-authority/
