  • Religious people do seem to need it, that’s right. The prison population is one tenth of one percent atheist despite the proportion of atheists in the unincarcerated population being hundreds of times higher. It’s not like atheists are committing crimes and then start believing in a god after they get locked up, in any significant amount. It’s not even the fact that atheists get extra persecution in prison and are just pretending to believe in prison to get the same perks as the religious - because when the federal prison system allowed atheists to identify as humanists in order to receive some of the same benefits as those who identify with a religion, not very many of them did so.

    Please do keep being religious, if you truly believe that you are only capable of caring about the well-being of other humans when under divine threat. Most of us can work out the golden rule and how to be empathetic as children by recognizing the shared human experience in others.









  • Congratulations, it’s a huge relief when you are able to leave for a few hours and don’t have to crate them! Mine is in her twilight years and has reverted to not being able to recognize when she has to go, now. It took about a month to de-train her from hiding under the desk in whatever dog emotion approximates shame. Thank goodness for carpet cleaners and enzymatic sprays!
