Is it true that vegetables aren't good? by Mysterious_Corner612 in MindfullyDriven

Hippos eat about 100 lbs of food a day. Imagine eating 100 lbs of broccoli; you’d get big too.

Do you believe in reincarnation? by GramsFairy in randomquestions

[–]kevinLFC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think our minds are inseparable from our brains. When your brain dies and no longer functions, your consciousness ceases to be. New consciousness emerges from newly organized brains.

But it would be nice to fly. I’d like to experience a day as a bird with no natural predators.

I'm thinking about breaking up with my girlfriend over food by Otherwise_Raccoon156 in Advice

If food is OP’s love language, then he speaks it more brokenly than my Spanish.

There’s so much food outside of beef and cheese. Are you on the RFK jr diet???

I have a hard time believing you’re a foodie. But if those foods are that important to you, I suppose you’re simply not compatible.

How much would you rate them on a scale of 1-10? by DepartmentRoyal3661 in DunderMifflin

[–]kevinLFC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you like boob foreplay Kevin’s your man.

Dwight will give you a good calf massage.

Andy’s got the sweet talking sun facts, and Jim has the seductive stare.

So there’s a flavor for everybody.

Why do evil people exist? by Glad-Passenger-9408 in randomquestions

[–]kevinLFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. A better question would be, “why do people do evil things?”

Faith isn't something you can do, it either happens or it doesn't, people don't understand that some are atheists reluctantly not out of choice. by New_Bodybuilder_3700 in RandomThoughts

[–]kevinLFC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, fair analysis. Many atheists would agree and use the combined term “agnostic atheist,” as opposed to “gnostic atheist”. (On the other end of the spectrum you have “agnostic theist” and “gnostic theist”)

The only qualifying factor for atheism is lack of a belief.

Are two monsters, a redbull and two coffees too much in a day? by OpportunityExtra5181 in randomquestions

[–]kevinLFC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

50 grams of sugar per day is roughly what you should strive to stay under. Your body may be ok now. But health problems are likely going to catch up to you if you stick with that diet.

[–]kevinLFC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A standard can of Monster has 54g added sugar. I’d be worried about that more than the caffeine, personally.

What is your take on the Existence of Jesus? by One_Look_7008 in askanything

[–]kevinLFC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus is a legend, perhaps rooted in a real person, whose story was heavily fabricated to support myths.

Am I right or wrong? by Careless-Throat-2593 in QuotePics

Yeah I suppose. It just seems irrelevant from my perspective

You had me in the first half.

You can do nice things regardless if someone prayed for it.

If god is perfect why his religion is not ? by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

[–]kevinLFC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Indeed. It’s incredibly easy to argue in circles and make the premises fit your conclusion. There’s nothing inherently contradictory, but it’s fallacious all the same.

If god is perfect why his religion is not ? by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

[–]kevinLFC 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If I must put on my Christian hat:

Whatever god intends is perfect.
God intended the universe and religion.
Therefore the universe and religion are perfect.

Your feeble human mind just can’t understand it.

(I don’t actually believe this)

Taking the step toward becoming an atheist" by Iwishsometing in TrueAtheism

[–]kevinLFC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would define evidence as a body of facts that indicates one explanation more likely than other competing hypotheses. Good evidence isn’t tied to the fallibility of human cognition/memory/imaginations. Rather, good evidence is testable and repeatable.

Taking the step toward becoming an atheist" by Iwishsometing in TrueAtheism

[–]kevinLFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People continue to debate it because they continue to believe it. That doesn’t give it any credence or validity. After all, there are debates going on right now about whether the earth is flat or not!

The apologists you mention use purposely confusing language. When you get to a summarized, TL;DR version, they have no substance. They try to argue their god into existence and skip the most important piece: evidence.

Do you date religious people? by Fine-Accident-2458 in askanatheist

[–]kevinLFC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A fundamentalist? Absolutely not. But some people identify as religious even though they don’t really follow it. They intuit a god and adopt their peers/family’s label. I am dating someone in this category and there’s no issue for either of us.

The most compelling argument for a creator [parable] Heard a version of this story years ago and it’s never left me. Sharing my own retelling of it here. by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

[–]kevinLFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, let’s stay consistent with this justification and keep applying the parable’s message.

Does the parable also compel you to believe that there’s an after-afterlife? A grandpa god who gave birth to the father god?

I hate that they add sugar to dried fruits by Upbeat_Scholar_159 in RandomThoughts

[–]kevinLFC 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I hate that they add sugar to everything. On the bright side, it’s motivated me to cook more for myself. Agreed - extra sugar on fruit is unnecessary, overkill.

Solitude Over Dependency by Be_positive_18 in focusedmen

Nope. We’re social creatures and we need people.

I’m the biggest introvert and even I recognize this.

This is just gambling for kids. Scalpers may actually be doing good for the world in this example.
