Is that why seal look like he does?

Religion is the worst assualt on morality there has ever been.

Maybe, why dont you ask him??

How is religion the worst assault on morality there has ever been it gives values and helps you make the right decisions.
It is easy. Morality doesn't need religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from morality's purity. Confuses the hell out of things like you see here in America and around the world.

Countries like Sweden that have some of the lowest church attendence rates in the world have a safer, more fair environment, that is (YES) more moral as well.
I could not agree more. All religion does is to provide distractors from the path of morality.

For the record, I most certainly am an asshole.

Secondly, You are a little confused about what customs are. I don't think individual people have customs, they have habits.

True. But most western religions. Taoism is a fine religion.

The morality of socialism can be summed-up in two words: envy and self-sacrifice. Envy is the desire to not only possess another’s wealth but also the desire to see another’s wealth lowered to the level of one’s own. Socialism’s teaching on self-sacrifice was nicely summarized by two of its greatest defenders, Hermann Goering and Bennito Mussolini. The highest principle of Nazism (National Socialism), said Goering, is: "Common good comes before private good." Fascism, said Mussolini, is " a life in which the individual, through the sacrifice of his own private interests…realizes that completely spiritual existence in which his value as a man lies."

Socialism is the social system which institutionalizes envy and self-sacrifice: It is the social system which uses compulsion and the organized violence of the State to expropriate wealth from the producer class for its redistribution to the parasitical class.



But there are losers in captilism so it leaves people out..


Yes, there are winners and losers in capitalism. The winners are those who are honest, industrious, thoughtful, prudent, frugal, responsible, disciplined, and efficient. The losers are those who are shiftless, lazy, imprudent, extravagant, negligent, impractical, and inefficient.

Capitalism is the only social system that rewards virtue and punishes vice. This applies to both the business executive and the carpenter, the lawyer and the factory worker.


Under socialism there are built-in incentives to shirk responsibility. There is no reason to work harder than anyone else becuase the rewards are shared and therefore minimal to the hard-working individual; indeed, the incentive is to work less than others because the immediate loss is shared and therefore minimal to the slacker.


If you are going to respond to this post you better respond to all of it or i will not even read your post

Actually you're wrong because if your "custom" is to tell other people that their "customs" are wrong, then you are an asshole (and a Republican ).
But it don't take much to get me by
So just booze me up and get me high
