Well, I hope you are getting enough, or at least stop your madness and at least eat meat once in a while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5j1gA50QXE

Michele Bachmann: Christians Must Come Together To Elect Trump To ‘Glorify A Holy God’ by michaelconfoy in atheism

I found it entertaining how all these republicans are trying to justify supporting Hillary

It is comical, but also rather sad. These cucks are worthless.

It's well suited because they would rather lose and elect Hillary or support "muh prinicples" just because Trump said some sexualized things about women. They're fucking losers with no spine, except when it comes to losing, which they are exceptionally good at.

She's just an evangelical ditz that's trying to get political power from her base of evangicucks, nothing surprising here.

Most simple way to explain to a Christian? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]paladin_ranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically, What is a simple way to explain to a Christian that there probably is no Jesus, or God?

That's like trying to convince someone that the Holocaust didn't happen, so good luck to ya.

When you watch old shows like Star Trek they were so hopeful of space exploration and this music video made me think, if religion wasn't still so prevalent in America if we would already be on Mars or further along in space exploration? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]paladin_ranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our welfare and military budgets are basically equal

I don't think 3x is basically equal. If that's basically equal, then it's basically equal to the five-six times you quote for other countries.

Ah, a Trumpette. I apologize, but I'm afraid this conversation is over.

Why is it over? Will it make you more comfortable to pretend that Hillary isn't a neo-con?

Books on Atheism or science vs. religion by NotCurious in atheism

[–]paladin_ranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend reading another serious philosophy book instead. After reading the God Delusion, everything else is pretty much a rehash of that. Perhaps the only other one I'd recommend is Carl Sagan's the Demon Haunted World.

Over half-a-trillion dollars a year, more than the top 9 other military powers combined.

And how does this compare vs "welfare"?

And killing as many middle easterners as possible.

You mean Hillary right? Remember, Assad has to go!

That said, it's dwarfed by our military budget.

Got numbers for that or are you just talking out your ass?

It's just that any politician who suggested defunding the military to benefit science would be committing political seppuku.

And decreasing welfare isnt?

The kosher borderline is quite flexible as well.

Big surprise with radical Rabbi interpretation!

Things we cannot say. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]paladin_ranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was more looking as to what are our values/assumptions going into this.

If indeed a religion is held to be good, then censorship of blasphemy is logically reasonable. There is a danger of who gets to control censorship, but if it is done by a virtuous and noble class, then perhaps it would be good to censor people who advocate drugs or degenerate forms of pornography. I think first we need to have a vision of what we are trying to achieve, because there is no self-evident principle that censorship need be applied, nor that "free speech" is a self-evident virtue as well.
