Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’m interested in #atheism, #photography, #science, and #skepticism

I have a long journey in diaspora.

Came to diaspora when G+ closed years ago, then the instance closed and I moved to diasporasocial,net
That server was disconnected days ago. All of this week it shows as Error 500, with no other information, and no heads up from the admins. A friend here suggested I join. Now I have to figure out how to regain content, and contacts.

I have been a photographer (never a professional) for over 40 years. Now retired from a long career in IT, am devoting most of my time to travel and photography.

Will post more when I regain contacts, and figure out how to connect in diaspora again.


Penn Jillette (Penn and Teller): "The question I get asked by religious people all the time is, without God, what’s to stop me from raping all I want? And my answer is: I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero. The fact that these people think that if they didn’t have this person watching over them that they would go on killing, raping rampages is the most self-damning thing I can imagine." #atheism
Question from some genius on the internet. Text reads: 

If There Is No God, Why Don't Atheists Indulge In Their Darkest Desires?

| know you have probably heard this argument before but | have yet to meet an atheist engage with the argument honestly. According to many theists, god is the source of all morality. It is sound logic. You if have (moral) laws, you need a (moral) lawgiver. Under an atheist framework though-who is the moral lawgiver? It can't be the government cause governments have different laws. There is no source of objective morality to tell you that indulging evil desires like fucking kids, or strangling someone who pisses you off, or praising Hitler is wrong. So why don't you do it?
