To be a Christian who distrusts the government of a "Christian nation," a government run by politicians who all proclaim to be Christian, is an admission that Christianity not only fails to make people moral, but that anyone who claims to be a Christian should not be trusted.

The desire for eternal life is a form of greed that kills the human capacity to evolve for the benefit of those of our species who will come after us. The worship of a god that sanctifies human sacrifice is a love of death in sheep’s clothing. And to believe that eternal suffering is a form of moral justice is to believe that immeasurable evil should be glorified as an eternal virtue.

Theists think that everything in the universe is evidence for their God but that all of the horrible things that happen in that universe should not be held against that God but blamed on people. God, in other words, is the serial killer from Saw, and the universe is his torture chamber for teaching people to love him, just in case commanding them to do so and threatening them with eternal hell wasn't enough. 

The word "psyche" is a Greek word that Plato used which means "soul" or "spirit." From this viewpoint, psychology means "knowledge or understanding of the human soul or spirit." European philosophers and theologians had speculated for millennia on the existence and properties of the "soul." But in 1672, Thomas Willis asserted that the "soul" is a function of the human brain rather than the heart or some immaterial entity. The human mind is therefore, the human soul.

the standard for how others treat us is set by how we lean to treat ourselves

The only way to find your other half is to learn to love the half you've got. That's the only way to recognize the best parts of yourself in your other half. If you focus on all of the bad parts about yourself, than the "other half" you find will be a reflection of everything that's wrong with you, rather than what's right with you.
