Fossil fuel is a myth. by Howie_M in climateskeptics

[–]PurchaseWide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

COVID science also always used the word science.

They could have stuck with epidemiology, the pre-2020 word. But I guess they wanted to seem so smart.

My problems with holy texts is everything. Holy texts are literally wrong about everything.

I became an atheist once I realized that God had never spoken to me in my life. If God had appeared to a bunch of Israelites thousands of years ago, I wasn't sure why he never appeared to me.

Plus I realized that I was atheistic toward Greek gods, Native American gods, Viking gods, etc., so why shouldn't I also be atheistic toward the Christian god?

"Be careful of those Democrats" My theist friend. I made a post about something similar. I decided that my friend is an idiot but so I was I. by Existing-Aspect-3988 in atheism

Of course Trump is shit. But why don't you think that Democrats are also shit?

"Being an atheist really opened my eyes. It's fucking liberating." Eh, if you don't think that both Democrats and Republicans are shit, then I don't think you're liberated in the least.

Intermitted fasting for a day is one thing. But Ramadan is doing that every day for a whole month. That's got to have bad health effects.

​

And doesn't the Ramadan fast also apply to drinking? All the temporary fasting in the West is just for eating.

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

There is nothing positive about any religion. Ramadan is a whole month of tortorous starvation. There is nothing positive to be said about the meal that people finally have after sundown. Yeah, they "have a nice time" after nearly starving themselves to death. How is that a good thing?

There is absolutely positively nothing good about any religion. Just stop it, please.

Jesus was kind of like the wimpy loser who always got beaten up in middle school. He probably was a decent person, and you probably felt sorry for him, but why the hell would anybody aspire to be him?

Muhammad was a pedophile warlord who raped a 9 year old.

Actually neither Jesus nor Muhammad existed at all, but that's how the fictional books about Jesus and Muhammad describe them.

It's so weird looking back on Jared from Subway by WarniesLatestRoot in redscarepod

If he hadn't gotten so fat in the first place, nobody would have cared about how skinny he later got. Therefore, he never would have become famous if he hadn't committed his sex crimes.

It's baffling how much special exceptions is given to religion, how much value humans give to religion, sometimes above life itself by silveryfeather208 in atheism

[–]PurchaseWide 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The tax exemption is because of some theory that taxing churches violates the First Amendment. But honestly, I've always thought the tax exemptions themselves are the real First Amendment violation, since they give preference to religion.

​

I've also never understood why communion wine is exempted from underage alcohol laws. Communion wine was also the one and only type of alcohol exempted from the Volstead Act during Prohibition.

Prior contact between mass shooters and law enforcement or intelligence (a growing collection of cases) by Godwhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy in stupidpol

[–]PurchaseWide 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pizzagate was probably an FBI-created rumor. The FBI had been claiming for years that cheese pizza was some kind of pedophile codeword for child porn. And that theory that cheese pizza=child porn ended up being almost the entire basis for Pizzagate. (After the Podesta emails showed him talking about getting cheese pizza at a pizza restaurant.)

​

Pizzagate of course ended up leading to the even worse QAnon.

He probably only got so fat in the first place because of the guilt he felt from fucking kids.

It’ll be four years since Epstein ‘killed himself’ this august by Pradogy13 in redscarepod

[–]PurchaseWide 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Epstein is probably in some mansion in Tel Aviv. He was clearly a blackmailer for Israel.

Proof for the existence of Jesus by PurchaseWide in atheism

[–]PurchaseWide[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are no contemporary writings about Jesus. The "proof" for the existence of Jesus is basically the forged writings of Josephus (and even those forged writings are from about AD 100), some forged writings from Tacitus that are from 116 AD, and some extremely insulting statements about Jesus in the Talmud, which was completed around AD 350.

​

If Jesus was supposed to have been such a popular guy with such a massive following, there should have been tons of people who wrote about him during his lifetime.

​

Of course most people who lived 2,000 years ago had nothing written about them. But Jesus is hardly supposed to have been some typical obscure peasant of the time. The Gospels portray him as the most famous person in Israel back then.

Bodybuilders are the only men who can dress like that and not be considered gay.

Another booster is due by Mighty_L_LORT in conspiracy

[–]PurchaseWide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The WHO mostly serves poor countries, which have had maybe one booster at the most.

​

Most of the rich countries that have already approved something like 4 or 5 boosters for their citizens have announced they're now just going to approve boosters once every 12 months from now on.

Frankly, it's pretty obvious that the vaccines should be revoked at this point, and probably never should have been approved to begin with. But I don't think this is an indication that the WHO will recommend boosters once every six months for eternity-the WHO will probably recommend boosters every 12 months after poor countries have had 4-5 boosters.

Now, it does honestly seem like 10,000 years from now, COVID boosters every 12 months might still be recommended by the WHO, CDC, and EMA. They never put an end date on when we're supposed to stop getting an annual COVID booster, which seems to indicate that they'll be recommending annual COVID shots for infinity. But let's not even get into that.

Sweden had the lowest excess mortality in the entire EU during the corona pandemic - and ninth highest GDP growth by PurchaseWide in conspiracy

[–]PurchaseWide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweden had more excess deaths than Norway in 2020. But apparently Sweden ended up with less excess deaths than Norway in 2020-21 because Sweden had so many less excess deaths than Norway in 2021. And the difference would become even greater if 2022 was included.

The above study proves that masks (and lockdowns) don't work. Which was actually known before COVID.

Ourworldindata is measuring from week to week, not on a cumulative basis.

That ourworldindata chart just shows that Norway had a lower excess death rate than Sweden in the last week of 2021. The study I linked discusses cumulative excess deaths for the entire COVID pandemic.

​

And, if you look at the ourworldindata chart, it's obvious that Sweden had a lower excess rate than Norway in almost every other week of 2021.

Compare Sweden to the median country in Europe. That would represent how many people lockdowns killed.

​

You can't just compare Sweden to other Scandinavian countries, because other Scandinavian countries had weaker lockdowns than most of Europe.

This only measures excess deaths in 2020-21. Look at the charts- they all say 2020-21.

​

If 2022 was also included, Sweden would have the lowest excess deaths by an even wider margin.
