WOTM: Well Being, Part II
In the second (of what will be three) videos, we look at the priority the religious must place on our well being in the supposed afterlife — often in opposition to our well being in this life.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I couldn't continue to do this with you (well, maybe you, Peter). Two more coming in just a few. Hold on tight!!!! B

This is what happens when one confuses obedience with morality.
I realized years ago that a sense of "morality" is simply a product of natural selection, particularly in species whose "survival of the fittest" is enhanced by their cooperation, empathy, compassion in their packs, flocks, herds, pods, and… villages. I distinctly remember reading in Carl Sagan's "Forgotten Ancestors" how macaques proved more moral than humans when subjected to a Milgram-styled "Obedience to Authority" experiment. And how "moral" were the friggin' Homo insipiens experimenters to subject them to that torture…!?! As for religion's edicts, I also realized years ago that, if there is an aftermath, and Elobeyhim is there with his gavel, I'd tell him to fnck off and gladly go into outer darkness rather than suffer his "celestial" kingdom.
