  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.

    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.

        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

      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 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 adverse to abusers.

  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

  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.
