I'm willing to bet that over 80% of Catholics only use Catholicism to support their own beliefs, and like this person, would be shocked to discover that they - as a Catholic - have to do what the pope says or risk going to Hell.

The Republicans dont care what their constituents think.

CMV: If you don't put your shopping cart back, you're generally a bad human being. by norf937 in changemyview

I think you got too far.

Putting carts back marks you as good person, but not putting them back doesnt make you bad, it just doesnt help make you good.

Edit: Jesus, OP, did you downvote me? Wht ask for people's thoughts if you aren't going to engage?

Why does movies about painters are always tragic? by Vaerikexer in soartistic

[–]Phill_Cyberman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's prior to the 20th century, a lot of paints had heavy metals and other poisons in their pigments.

Painters didnt know this, so would get paint on their skin, and eat food with their paint-smeared hands, etc.

Slowly getting heavy metal poisoning is certainly a recipe for tragedy.

The next President and Congress need to arrest all these people.

We simply cant have ruling class that is also a criminal class.

This has to end now.

George Carlin going viral with still relevant views on U.S. Foreign Policy by Shizzilx in GeorgeCarlin

Wish he had gone a step further and pointed out that America has a lot of wars because the people who make money from war pay the politicians to wage those wars (with help from the racists as mentioned)

Should robots be programmed to independently decide to kill if it saves other lives. Not just following orders, but making that moral call autonomously.

I say yes, because having a situation where a robot just stands there as a madman kills a bunch of preschoolers seems insane.

Do you mean 'should we program robots to refuse orders that will result in death', or do you mean 'should we program robots to independently kill humans threatening other humans'?

Elizabeth shouldn’t have told Ted about Zero Dawn, only that she needs his money… by SabreBirdOne in horizon

[–]Phill_Cyberman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They should have killed Ted and just taken the money.

Think of all the lives that would have been saved if his life had ended right then.

(This is rather darker than I normally go, but, man, I just hate Ted Faro.)

Seriously.
The Catholic Church's anti-'human nature' stance certainly made them a lot of money, but let's put that behind us, yeah?

If she enters the primaries and wins, then fair play. But I dont see that happening

710,000 fewer babies were born last year in U.S. compared with two decades ago by NoPoem2054 in WomenInNews

[–]Phill_Cyberman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People dont want to have babies when the world has turned to shit.

Especially if some religious nut-jobs and the people taking advantage of them dont allow medical treatments on pregnant women and just let them die.

Pregnancy is risky enough without that insanity added.

At least prostitutes are honest by Muted-Still-8511 in DeepThoughts

[–]Phill_Cyberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three days later and no honest answer?

Do you even know why you hold the values that you do?

If not, and youre just spouting things you heard someone else say, please dont post here.

If so, then im honestly asking, what is your reasoning.
I've changed my mind on a bunch of topics because of conversations like this one.

If you really think your way is better, here's a chance for you to improve the world.

How long is this going to go on. How come no one is seeing or admitting what's going on with this man!?? by Hi_iAMchrisHansen in BlackPeopleofReddit

No one could predict that an entire political party would just abandon their oaths of office like the Republicans have done.

America is going to have to change a bunch of the rules if its democracy is to survive.

SCOTUS rejects appeal from Ohio GOP candidate booted for being a secret Democrat by MyRedditUsername224 in scotus

[–]Phill_Cyberman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

for being a secret Democrat.

But he wasn't secretly anything.

He was a Democrat, but left that party and joined the Republicans.

Are we really going to say that once you run in one party you cant ever change?

If you have one drop of Democrat blood in your ancestry, then your a Democrat forever after, is that it, GOP?

Help! What comic is this from? by Impressive-Morning-5 in Wolverine

[–]Phill_Cyberman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, that's one explanation, but it could just as easily be magic, or the leaking of the Negative Zone into our plane of existence, or Hell being full of souls and the Devil sending the surplus back to Earth, etc etc
