    Is Belief (or Lack Thereof) a Choice?

    Only to a simpleton. To someone that is willing to give it a little more thought, there is a lot more to it. So you have chosen to believe. And now, having made that choice, you are going to fight tooth and nail to defend it. And you will do that by picking and choosing any "evidence" that...

    Where should the "I don't know" go?

    People can propose anything they want. And they can believe anything they want about it. And they can assert that you should believe it as well. But at that point you have the right to ask them to explain why you should believe agree with or agree their assertions. It's actually fairly rare...

    Where should the "I don't know" go?

    I think you are way jumping the gun, here. What "God" exists in what way? "Does God Exist?" is an absurdly vague and inarticulate question. There is no doubt that "God" exists or we would not be discussing it. The problem here is that almost no one ever bothers to articulate the various way...

    I am back

    Well it's too late, now. We've locked the door and you can't come in! We've changed the format and now we only discuss the history of hinges. All kinds of hinges. Creaky hinges, though, mostly. And how not to oil them. So SHOO! Go away!

    Where should the "I don't know" go?

    Yes. You are a true believer in your own beliefs. And so you can't imagine how anyone else could believe anything else. To do so would be just plain 'wrong'. And so those that do believe something else must be corrected. By you. And by those who believe as you do, because your beliefs are the...

    Where should the "I don't know" go?

    That would depend on the agenda behind seeking that clarity. Is that really what you think you're doing? It seems to me that YOU should have some issues with that.

    Where should the "I don't know" go?

    I think that how people choose to conceptualize God can help them with those kinds of issues, a lot. And that's why so many people choose to characterize and conceptualize the God ideal as they do. But how much does any of this help answer the question of God's actual existence? Certainly some.

    Where should the "I don't know" go?

    All you're going to get in nearly every instance is the other person's subjective conception of God. (God is love, God is justice, God is the beardy guy in the sky, ...) And what is that beyond an opinion? Then what? Do you want to argue with their opinion? To what end? To show them how wrong...

    How It Is That Bad Cops Are The Majority Of Cops

    Clearly, you feel the need to defend the rich whenever and however possible. Because you're a capitalist, and capitalism considers greed a virtue. So there is no point in even having this conversation because you can't consider the validity of the point I'm making. You're love of capitalism...

    How It Is That Bad Cops Are The Majority Of Cops

    Cops nearly always know who is rich because rich people with power like to flaunt it. What good is being rich and powerful if no one knows it? Bullies don't bully the stronger. They bully the weaker. Everyone knows this. So the stronger need to show it. And so they do. Expensive cars, expensive...

    How It Is That Bad Cops Are The Majority Of Cops

    Every bad cop everywhere on Earth knows not to screw with rich. And even more importantly, never to screw with the rich people's money pump. You want to see reform, it will be immediate and drastic the moment the cops start interrupting the flow of money into the rich man's bank account. (Your...

    Where should the "I don't know" go?

    The real problem here is presuming that the answer requires our knowing. As opposed to it actually only requiring our opinion. We all already know that no one knows whether their answer is true or false. So asking with that requirement is an illogical waste of effort. All we can ever actually...

    How It Is That Bad Cops Are The Majority Of Cops

    Wealthy people don't suffer the consequences of bad cops. And they are basically in control of everything. So they don't care at all about how bad cops are. Mostly, it's the poor that are victimized by bad cops. And in the land of greed, no one cares about the suffering or abuse of the poor...

    Common Sense vs The Theory of Relativity

    The light-years are expanding as the space between point A and point B is expanding. It depends upon from what context you are assessing the time elapsed and the distance traveled. If you continue not understanding relative context you are never going to understand any of this. Do you...

    Is Belief (or Lack Thereof) a Choice?

    No, you don't want to believe that. Or you would. But you couldn't make that believe work for you, so you don't. Of course you can. And all you have to do is look around you to see that this is true. Or look at your own beliefs and see how many of them are by choice. In fact, you believe you...

    Common Sense vs The Theory of Relativity

    They are an increment invented by men to be used to measure the time light takes to cross from point A to point B in an expanding piece of space. The expansion is being included in the increment. Similar to how zero to one hundred degrees (Celsius) is the incremental scale that measures the...

    Common Sense vs The Theory of Relativity

    That's not a logical question. Space is expanding. Light is simply traveling through it. So as space expands, it takes light longer and longer to travel through it RELATIVE to how long the light traveling through it, took, previously. This is how two objects traveling at the speed of light can...

    Common Sense vs The Theory of Relativity

    P1 and P2 are emitted into space at the same time. P1 travels X distance in 1 hour. P2 travels Y distance in 2 hours. But distance Y is not distance Xx2. "This makes no sense!" one cries. Because one does not realize that the space they are traveling through is expanding. And P1 and P2...

    And The Border Is Secure??????

    Yes. By both the mayor and the police chief. The two people most likely to know.

    Harris with her so called 'black relatives' along with her background of slavers brought into serious question.

    There's that good old MAGA poison! That's the ugly and dishonest mindset that Trump plays up and plays on every chance he gets. That's the kind of poison that destroys men's hearts and minds and ends up costing people their lives.
