    Theism is just a shit ideology.

    It’s one thing to have your beliefs, but if your beliefs are so fragile that the believer can’t handle anyone else not believing their stuff, it’s kind of a sign they don’t really believe the stuff they are forcing.

    Oldest known laws (about 900 years before 10 commandments):

    Code of Ur-Nammu:

    • Date: Circa 2100–2050 BCE.

    • Location: Ancient Mesopotamia (Sumer).

    • Content: The code consists of around 57 laws, covering various aspects of daily life, including property rights, personal injury, and marriage. It is written in Sumerian, the language of ancient Sumer.

    • Significance: It is notable for establishing the principle of lex talionis, or “law of retribution,” although it often imposed fines rather than physical punishment
