IKO – a belief system based in the language of an old bayou song*
This is a personal belief system called IKO, which is meant to represent the gratitude that (this) one feels to be included in existence. The creation, FEENO, is a stunning and awesome thing, remarkable not only for its beauty...
Biden doesn't need to discuss his plans for the future, which will depend on whether America can give him a Congress that he can work with. He accomplished great things when the Democrats held both houses, but the American people in their infinite wisdom and sophistication gave the House back to...
No. It's "evil" of believers to threaten skeptics for questioning Christian dogma. Typically, this occurs when the believer is told that that the unbeliever doesn't see a reason to believe that dogma. He is then told that he'll be sorry in a veiled threat of some post-mortem meeting wherein...
What does that mean? Maybe you can illustrate with a confirming statement from your mythology - creation myth, garden myth, flood myth, Tower of Babel myth, Job myth, Jonah myth, virgin birth myth, or resurrection myth.
Why bother posting that? In my view, you won't experience anything after...
I'm only aware of one fine tuning argument, and it is an argument for an intelligent designer for our universe.
Distinct from that and prior to it is the statement that the universe appears finely tuned. This is not an argument.
Then there are assorted hypotheses to account for it such as a...
Your video doesn't support your linking the uptick in cancer cases with Covid vaccinations. At 1:31 we hear:
"The scariest thing about this is that we actually don't know what is driving this uptick." But Ebionite thinks he does.
You mentioned other "independent researchers" but didn't cite...
This is Trumpian-level projection. This is exactly how I describe MAGA.
You would have no reason to reject the friendship of a Biden supporter if he offers it to you. They're typically like Biden - kind, gentle informed, civic-minded, and pro-Constitution. What's not to like?
The same is not...
Agreed. I found it remarkable that these Witnesses were going door-to-door telling people like me how bad the world is when I know that their world is good. It was a beautiful Sunday morning, the weather was good as is usually the case where I live, they and I were doing exactly what we wanted...
No. What he's doing now is attempting to intimidate witnesses and jurors, and to incite an angry mob to form outside the courthouse and do what angry mobs do.
I wrote, Trump "called for violence outside of the courthouse and has called for violence if he loses to Biden again."
I read and hear...
Getting along with the angry MAGA right is impossible. They're like a rabid dog. You don't hold your hand out to such a creature. You try to find a way to avoid or contain it.
Humanists are peaceful people. They're tolerant and inclusive. This division is all the right's doing and has been...
So you don't see yourself as contentious, hostile, and divisive? I do.
And no, the rest was right on the money as this comment from you confirms. There is zero chance of a person like you and a person like me coming together ever because you are so angry that you won't have it. And the reason...
Yes, I know. You don't live as I'd prefer. I really wish you'd drop that conservative Christianity stuff, but alas, as you suggest, that's just how life is.
It doesn't and I don't.
Do you ask that question of conservatives who beset LGBTQ+? I'll bet not.
What are you calling a liberal...
No.
But you are allowed to say that, just not at work perhaps.
And yes, you are correct about Covid shots activating shingles. There is evidence that repeated boosters, especially if given too close to one another and especially in the elderly and in those with preexisting conditions, can lead...
Sure, they're free to do this. I don't think anybody is arguing otherwise. They're just throwing red meat to their bigoted citizenry, but I encourage them to let the world know who they are, what they stand for, and what matters to them. It would be nice if they could eventually learn to be...
Except that it was a rhetorical question, meaning a statement ending in a question mark, like "How would I know," which is not a question (interrogative) seeking an answer or clarification, but a way of writing the declarative sentence, "I have no way of knowing."
Perhaps you did mistake his...
