From what did that “violence” (Beliathon) originate (if not from “[h]uman nature” [Beliathon])—?  Ignorance (including all superstition) -> Fear -> Hatred -> violence So what is your plan to avoid being persecuted as the totalitarianism tries to retain control and attempt to drag everyone down with it using extreme violence? Flee the totalitarian nation as first response, suicide as plan B, duh. Didn't you study Nazi Germany in school? Flee while you can, painless death if you can't. The non-aggression principal has little in common with pacifism.
The NAP simply recognizes that no one has the moral right to initiate force upon any individual and there are no exceptions for groups of individuals or any organization calling itself the govt.
Self defense is not at all incompatible with the NAP.
This is accurate. |

The church, even with some of its wrongdoings in the past, has always been the moral compass of society. Whether it is Greek mythology, Buddhism, Catholicism, or some other religion, it has always been around to help people know how to behave You mean like during the centuries when the Church was burning people alive for such "crimes" as masturbation, heresy, witchcraft, and sodomy? It seems to me that you are confusing pleasure and love. According to science there is no confusion, nor is there any meaningful distinction. Love is reward sequence - a drug, a chemical reaction in our brains that predisposes us to reproduce lots and lots. http://www.medicaldaily.com/sex-first-date-science-behind-why-people-put-out-when-they-go-out-313844 |

 Which seems more probable to you, a Satanic Rape-Dolphin, or an indifferent universe? |

You need to re-read the definition and my post, because you are missing something. One of us did. |

Superstition is the belief in the supernatural. Things are listed as "supernatural" by scientists because they can't explain them. Nope, not even close. I can very clearly articulately for you why there is no such thing as talking snakes, winged sky humans, and invisible sky fathers. It's all basic physics and biology, really. For example winged humans wouldn't be able to fly as our lift-to-mass ratio would never be high enough. Bones too dense. But I guess Google must be in on the evil "religion = superstition" conspiracy, eh? Or maybe a company founded by engineers has the sense to respect evidence.  |

If you still believe in superstition after this post, there is no fucking hope for you. |

Atheists don't hate anybody.
Religions hate Atheists, so we are simply backfiring to them.
They hate us at first, so we hate them. Read some religion books, all of them say athesits will burn in hell, some say it is a good thing to kill an atheist.
WTF?
Yeah i hate anyone who hates me just because i don't believe in imaginary things. F**k em.
I would disagree with you about "Fuck em" except that I know from history that Christians would burn me alive if modern society tolerated such behavior. So yes, Fuck 'em.  Here in NYC you'll sometimes get these jesus preachers on the trains, yelling at a bunch of strangers who are just trying to get to work. Captive audience and all that. Anyway a few times I have publicly shamed these annoying fuckers off the train usually with people thanking me and/or clapping. |

Religion will never end. Everything which has a beginning also has an ending. Homo Sapien superstition has only existed for a micro-fraction of the age of the universe. Its end will be just as universally irrelevant as its beginning. |

I don't believe in anarchistic anything. To believe that such a system would work you have to believe that individuals are inherently good. I believe that in general individuals gravitate towards being inherently bad Wrong and willfully ignorant. Human nature is trusting, open, generous, curious, compassionate, and kind. Study Bonobo Chimpanzees for reference. By contrast, most of human culture is myth-rooted, unscientific, deceptive, ignorant, fearful, hateful, and self-and-other-destructive. Why is that? Culture is ancient, it's been around for tens of thousands of years - most of that time dominated by violence - while modern reason is a relative infant at only around 400 years old. http://www.nytimes.com/1989/03/28/science/researchers-trace-empathy-s-roots-to-infancy.htmlhttp://www.apa.org/monitor/oct05/mirror.aspxhttps://www.dnalc.org/view/852-Mirror-Neurons-and-Empathy.htmlhttp://news.emory.edu/stories/2014/03/chimpanzees_and_empathy/campus.htmlhttp://cultureofempathy.com/references/Experts/Frans-de-Waal.htmhttp://www.democracyjournal.org/16/6740.php?page=all |

For the hundredth time, just because it is in a book doesn't make it science. I recommend the works cited section at the end of Sex At Dawn. |

Funny how you can never provide this "science" for our peer review though, even though you do love repeatedly making the claim your ideology is backed by science.
Pics are now links to the books! First four books are available at no cost! Rejoice and learn, free minds of the world:Note: You'll need a torrent app for some of them, I recommend qBittorrent. Avoid uTorrent.     ----Sorry, final two books are paywalled for now!----   |

I died in a dream, in a car accident, and then I was a soul watching the wreck, in the middle of the intersection... looking around. Then I woke up.  |

Oh my God... this thread is hilarious. Expert trolling OP, keep up the good work.  I simply call it like I see it, and it just so happens that I see the world very, very accurately. I won't claim I'm not having fun here, though. Reality check: The truth is so far from where you imagined it was, that when I plainly lay it out for you, it feels like you're being trolled. It's like the moment you jump into a pool - the water feels shockingly cold, but only because you haven't had time to adapt your biological thermometer yet. Relax, you're not going to freeze to death, and in a few moments the water will feel just right. |

Only if we start from the top. Money making money is a concept that must die.
