Of course some questions are predicated on non-facts. I'll tell you why I distrust my father if you'll tell me why you beat your wife. Deal?

Reading about him I discovered that he acquired syphilis in a brothel. The only controversy is to whether it was a gay or straight brothel.
Isn't it ironic that the very teachings he railed against, namely Biblical teachings, could have saved his life had he followed them?

You and ol Nietzsche deserve each other, dateless dudes if ever there were two 😵

Oh, and if you should contract leprosy, will you be following the Bibles practical advice or consulting an NHS doctor?

No, although I reckon it's possible that those that actively call themselves atheist are in general less likely to blindly accept whatever someone who is "above" them tells them. It's a consequence of being more skeptic than "believers".
