    Proselytizing: What is it and is it a good or bad thing?

    In my opinion, Proselytizing is forcing your beliefs on others when not asked for and when specifically asked not to. It is clearly wrong.

    Congratulation!

    More thoughts, I really can't think of a reason to use congratulation. You child Aces a quiz, I would still say congrats is deserved. They accomplished it by attending class, studying, doing homework and answering multiple questions correctly. They possibly got help studying from a friend...

    Congratulation!

    I usually say good job. I only use congratulations for events. Winning an archery tournament or acting in a play. Yes I would find it hard specifying a topic to congratulate for fear of insulting them. You may think singing is what they are proud of but it was their dancing. You may think...

    Persuasion, inspiration or manipulation?

    I am not easily manipulated but I have a weakness when it comes to my family. Back in the day people would come up to you in malls telling you how great your kid looked and they could be a model. Giving you their card. After multiple malls and several cards I decide they were right and...

    Congratulation!

    In general you congratulate when someone accomplished something big like marriage, a new baby, or graduation. All these events are created from multiple accomplishments and/or multiple people by adding the S you are acknowledging that or you'd have to know their specific thoughts on it Have...

    The Garden of Eden

    Lets have some examples from the New Testament or even the Bible that calls out Rome. You laugh but you offer no proof. The New Testment makes it Clear that Christ death is on the Jewish leadership. Pilot washes his hands of the crime and even tries to release Christ.

    The Garden of Eden

    You've heard of the Crusade's, the story of penance The medieval witch hunts. This is just a few of the greatest off the top of my head. The early church tried and most often got the governments to do what they want by declaring there enemy's evil. Rape,, Violence, war fratricide are all...

    The Garden of Eden

    Early Christianity was manipulated by the Roman's. Romans were the first supporters of the Christain religion as such a lot of the Roman mythology is in it. The catholic church is in my opinion the last stand for the Romans to take over the world. If you look at its setup and compare it to...

    What book r u reading?

    I just finished Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. It is an epic Fantasy with Magic and Dragons. It starts off slow but builds into a great story. It has some wild adult romance in the middle and an epic romance in the final. Out of 10, I would give it a 7 because of the slow start but the...

    What if a Friend Made a Joke You Found Racist, Sexist, Homophobic, Disrespectful of Your Religion, etc.?

    Its a Joke, if it was funny laugh at it, if not nod to acknowledge the attempt. If and when they acted in a hateful manner, I would address it with them and if I found they continually acted in a hateful manner I would probably end the friendship; however, I would never end a friendship over...

    Irresponsible to Ignore Widespread Animal Consciousness

    All life has a form of consciousness, or else it couldn't survive.

    Conversations with people with delusions of infallibility

    I use the tactic of leaving them alone when I can. Changing one person is going to change the world. If I have to deal with them in a regular manner, then I will try to find common ground and slowly attempt to resolve the issue. I never block or fully cut off anyone, you need all views to...

    Are animals conscious? Sentient?

    Yes, and even plants, all life has a form of consciousness, intelligence had to start with life or life would never have been able to flourish.

    Reasons for Atheism if you aren't in the DIR

    Define God, Believe or knowledge. My definition of Atheist is a Person who believes that some or all gods and/or some or all religions cause some or all harm to our world, otherwise why would a person label themselves as a lack of belief or knowledge. Generally, we label our beliefs and...

    Do you think that someday the world will improve for everyone?

    I voted yes but I see life experiences as continually changing from bad to good and from good to bad so everybody in the world will see improvement at some point in their lives but there will never be a time when everyone at the same time sees the world improve. We are too diverse a species to...
