Oh, a practical question instead of a declarative statement! I never said that Religion or Religion doesn't suck, I just don't like to waste effort blaming everyone who likes to pray and claim that the 'moral,' let us use ethical behavior isn't automatically doomed to hell, and thus making the atheist-socialist-progressive, the pinnacle of ethical behavior. Just by (yeah I know!) comparing and contrasting we know this 'ain't' true. Secondly, the biggest commies in the world during the 20th centuries were also mystical, so as the neurobiologists have stated, we can't really get away from "religion." We both know that the two largest religions on this planet loved to encourage their followers to slaughter each other and others. When what was called scientific socialism, scientific atheism got the chance, they were just as bloody. In fact you didn't get to heaven if you held back slaughtering because "God" wants loyal killers,and no pansies allowed! How many have died in religious violence?Below is what seems to be a prof who was a religious apologist-https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/religion-responsible-most-wars-deaths-history-nicholas-pino Here is a 2015 Reddit summary-https://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/33tofh/how_many_people_have_been_killed_in_the_name_of/ How many did the self described scientific atheists kill? Stalin? Lets just say millions.https://www.history.com/news/ukrainian-famine-stalin

Naw! Thus, as Joey Ramone sang Everybody's got a poison heart. No jump in ethics via atheism. So what do we do? Thought one-cook up an afterlife belief that is universal. Because it's based on physics, yes, atheists are welcome. Somebody has to keep the rest of us honest. Secondly, we don't need more religions, we need psychological APPS. I have been peddling this idea on here for a while and am not surprised that people eye-roll because it gets in their way, makes then tense, and feeling disgusted! Fair enough, if you don't like spaghetti nobody can force you to like spaghetti. If it doesn't work for you it's all good, anyway. The physics in a straightforward way cuts to right to the endless discussions of Quantum Teleportation, Alice & Bob, Leaving London and arriving in Moscow in an entangled, instant. I think that would lighten our behavioral load and get us more to focus on material problems, like surviving Putin & Xi, Clean Energy, No Climate Change, Crime, Inflation, and all the crap we should be working on. -----Original Message----- From: Brent Meeker <meekerbr...@gmail.com> To: everything-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Sun, Aug 21, 2022 6:18 pm Subject: Re: Christian Adolf and adolfic Christians [was: Re: What Threshold Threat of CO2] Wouldn't you expect those following God to not do evil in the first place.

If millions followed Adolf, millions more fought to defeat him and his followers. They done good. White people enslaved Blacks, but white people also liberated them.
