Why I don’t feel sorry for Trump voters and will not.

The 2016 election cycle was rampant with Trump-isms, the news media focused on him so much it was hard to notice anyone, but him. He mocked the disabled, he used racist dog whistles, he made sexist comments, and spread hate for immigrants. One thing Trump made clear was his hate for anyone who stood against him. He called Ted Cruz’s wife a dog. He said the women who accused him of sexual harassment and even assault weren’t pretty enough to assault. He made it known that minorities really weren’t welcome at his rallies. He told people he was going to build a wall, “a big beautiful wall between Mexico and America.”

Everything he said spent hours on news sites. It was a wall to wall Trump show. So when he won, and by won I mean accepted help from Russia, he set to work to keep the praise of those who got him there, including Russia. Since then some people have grown weary of his constant attacks on the media, the constitution, the investigation, and his political enemies. These people were fine with him, till he crossed some arbitrary line in the sand, and maybe you’ll say “at least they stand up for America.”

No. Standing up for America is standing up for diversity, gold star families, disabled reporters, minorities, immigrants, and kindness. It’s not just American to defend the constitution while ignoring the millions of people it was written to protect. Many people like myself knew he was bad, an awful human, and not worthy of that office since go. You don’t get points for finally realizing you were as awful as him, but he’s willing to be more awful. You don’t get thanked for realizing too late what kind of a monster he is, after you were willing to hand him power.

The people who stood with him till now aren’t good people, they are bad people, who are just slightly better than Trump, and that’s really not good enough. So, I don’t care what regrets and remorse they have now, they didn’t have the moral compass, or dignity to be better people when it was needed.

Mohammad was just a man and the Quran is Not Science.

Mohammad Was Just A Man, and The Quran is not Science. 1400 Years ago in Medina was a man named Mohammad. He was born to an average mother, and father. He grew up illiterate, and claimed to have talked to god. No one can refute this since he was alone during this time. Perhaps he had listened to the tales from men traveling through, certainly only he knows, but no one speaks from the grave. He had many wives, his youngest and last being the Aisha. This has caused an uproar in the West, though honestly it is not the first time a man would marry a child too young, or the last. That brings me to my point. Mohammad was just a man.  I know that those who follow the Quran and the Hadith never want to be caught speaking bad of their prophet, but face it he was not perfect. In fact some of the things he did, like have a woman's family killed so he could marry her, were kind of horrible. http://www.answering-islam.org/Responses/Osama/zawadi_safiyyah.htm His wanting a young bride

Terrorism and Refugees; The Holy Grail Of Ignorant America

Wouldn't it be both amazing and sad to look on the human race as an alien species? Think about all the crazy things you would see, and hear. One species completely isolated from one another, by regions, by water, and by ideologies. America has lost the war on rational thinking, and paranoia is king. Worse than that is the facts surrounding the terrorism, and what in the world is going on. We can't be sure of our neighbors, and we sure can't be sure of ourselves. I remember back in my budding youth when the Internet and I were young, how I loved to talk to people from other countries. I was a Christian back then, and I was curious. I wanted to know why religions couldn't get along. All Abrahamic religions share the same God, so why not just be peaceful about it. So I spent many nights in chat rooms with people from around the world. I soon learned why they couldn't get along. Because everyone had this idea of religion that they created. In atheism we often us

The Problem with Anti-Vacciers, and their stupidity about vaccines.

      During a time when exposure to viruses like the measles and mumps, America took a stand and called on everyone to vaccinate their children. In fact, being in public school, meant, you had to show proof of vaccination. It was so successful that two things happened. The first is that we stopped worrying about people getting them so much, and we got healthy enough that some people challenged vaccines for various reasons. The reason for the anti-vacc hysteria was all due to one scientist who abandoned his moral ethics for a lump of cash, and claimed that vaccines caused autism. After hearing this, many concerned parents stopped vaccinating their kids, and the fire spread. Suddenly people were looking to blame vaccines for almost everything.  The effects of vaccinating the whole of a population was that diseases that had killed 4-500 people per year, like measles, and hospitalized 38,000, was not only a reduction in the number of cases of deaths, but infections. It was just shy
