Things that affirm my atheism

15. The mother and father commandment

I severed all ties with my father in 2008, haven’t looked back since, won’t go back with his fanatical beliefs and learning he supported TFG.

I didn’t say cheating was good or right, just that it isn’t illegal and you can’t call it the basis for any laws. If I had a partner who cheated on me, it’d be unforgivable in my eyes, but nobody’s going to prison for it.

Lying under oath is obviously a big no-no, but lying to a person on a street corner, to constituents or to friends and family, while wrong, isn’t going to get anybody punished by law.

The first commandment says not to have other gods before Jehovah. The First Amendment says Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of a religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

That right there is one way how the Ten Commandments are not the basis for any laws, that one can be moral without a deity and immoral with one.
