No governmental system works perfectly. Liberal governments kill people.Conservative governments kill people.
Remember Tony Blair?

Except for that not being a communist part.
It's all kinda a moot point is it not? The king has no power.
My wife used to like to follow ya'll queen before she passed. She though all that royalty stuff was cool and she would get mad at me when I would remind her we had a war of independence back in the day to not be under British rule.
And then Britain punished the US be sending all their musicians over here and got that hippie revelation going back in the 60s.
The US still hasn't recovered from that, so thanks a lot!
This thread is called conversation with an atheist.
Would any of you like to ask me about my life in general? After all that's where meaningful conversations start.
I've got lot's to say. Not believing in God is a tiny part of my life and doesn't really come up in regular conversation.

Had to look up the meaning of this word on the internet so as to understand what was being said to make sense of what the author was saying.
nihilistic
/ˌnʌɪ(h)ɪˈlɪstɪk/
Nihilistic means relating to nihilism, a philosophical view that life, the universe, and human actions lack any inherent meaning, objective purpose, moral values, or truth.
Core Beliefs of a Nihilistic Viewpoint
- No Inherent Purpose: The universe does not have a master plan, divine design, or built-in reason for existence.
- Rejection of Morality and Religion: Traditional religious structures, moral codes, and social laws are viewed as human inventions rather than universal truths.
- Skepticism Toward Knowledge: It questions whether absolute truth or objective knowledge can ever be truly known.
- Existential Nihilism: The belief that life has no intrinsic value or point.
- Moral Nihilism: The rejection of objective right and wrong; morals are seen as social constructs.
- Political Nihilism: The belief that existing political, religious, and social institutions are corrupt or useless and should be torn down.
- Epistemological Nihilism: The idea that genuine knowledge or communication is impossible.
The word comes from the Latin root nihil, meaning "nothing". While early philosophical skeptics touched on these ideas, the concept gained widespread attention in 19th-century Europe through thinkers like Friedrich Jacobi, Ivan Turgenev, and Friedrich Nietzsche (famous for declaring "God is dead" as traditional value systems collapsed).
Nihilistic (Cambridge Dictionary)
adjective
connected with a belief that all political and religious organizations are bad, or a system of thought that says that there are no principles or beliefs that have any meaning or can be true:
Well I'll tell you what my family are up to tonight.
My wife is working away in Leicester, she's a midwife and lactation consultant, she took the train this morning to Birmingham and from there went cross country. She's assessing breast feeding provision at one of the hospitals there... We've just spoken on the phone and it sounds like all is well and she might give them a pass.
My eldest son is working at a local pub as the quiz master... I've helped him today formulating the quiz and it's categories. He lives at home with us, but is looking to move out sometime before Christmas...
My eldest daughter also worked today. She works at a craft centre helping the public to make personalised pottery. She loves her job but hopes to move on into a more fulfilling role elsewhere. She volunteers at a local cancer charity that specialises in respite care for parents with young cancer sufferers... She has been offered a full time roll there which she hopes to take up in the new year.
My youngest son has been playing on his electric guitar for most of the day... I must say that he's getting very good at it, although I wish that he'd turn the amplifier down a notch or two.
My middle son lives on the Wirral 40 miles from here, he's just started his own business.
He pet sits, and walks dogs along the coast there.... I can think of a lot worse businesses... It's surprising how busy he is, considering the time of year.
Anyway, they're all happy which is the main thing.
As for me, I've completed the tasks left for me by my wife. I haven't shrunk anything in the wash so all is good.

I was saying that one would expect a God to be sensible and fair.
In other words... That's exactly what I would expect from a God, or a God that truly cares about mankind.
What I don't understand is why these verses are hidden deep within the Bible, and sometimes other verses supersede them?
