    Evolution, Atheism, and Religious Beliefs

    I mean to me, I feel like I can easily hold my spiritual and religious beliefs while also "believing" in the facts of evolution and whatnot. Of course this may be due to the fact that I'm more of an agnostic theist if anything, and I don't follow organized religion. Science comes first, but I...

    On anti-Muslim rape violence in India

    That is horrible beyond words.

    What about the male victims of sexual assault?

    I mean, from what I heard #MeToo was initially a hashtag meant only for women of color, so idk man why not let men use it now

    Do you want a gadget that speaks what you're thinking?

    I mean I wouldn't want to use it. But I'm certain some disabled communities would be grateful for it.

    Happiness

    I can't talk religion but I can talk linguistics - words may change from their literal meanings over time through different applications and metaphors. That's probably why the word "happy" means what it does today and the reason it isn't fully identifiable with "happen" and "hapless"

    The Demonization of New Atheism and the Relative Desensitization to Religious Extremism

    I see what you're getting at, but in my circles there has always been this exact kind of criticism against ALL religions, spiritualities, and religious movements too, with actually little to no criticism about sexism or homophobia or incorrect scientific beliefs among atheists. Maybe it's a...

    Why might religious teaching of the young be classed as abuse?

    I mean I understand frustration but this is kind of rude considering that according to my alerts that message was a response to my message? I am bubbleguppy, your response was to bubbleguppy, and the response was about basic needs like food and shelter, I didn't know if you meant parents should...

    Why might religious teaching of the young be classed as abuse?

    I... you quoted my response... was I supposed to think that you weren't talking to me?

    Drug tests for food stamp recipients.

    How much will it cost taxpayers to administer all these drug tests though? And are they accounting for the potentially absurdly high number of false positives which may come from these tests? Will needing to use prescription drugs that may cause a (false) positive to appear on a drug test...

    Why might religious teaching of the young be classed as abuse?

    Since it's a little unclear, is that the age you're suggesting as an answer to my question?

    Mind and Thoughts

    Technically thoughts are zaps of electricity zipping through the nerves in our skulls

    Single mom supports teenage daughter by being paid to date

    I thought I had posted something to this thread earlier, and maybe it was deleted? But I personally do not see a problem with this. The only way I'd ever go on a date with any man is if they'd pay me to do it. And not all escort-like activities women opt into are 100% sexual; that's a common but...

    What honey brand do you trust?

    I mean, you could always find the closest beehive and stick your hand in it to get some good stuff. Jokes aside, real honey is thick, and crystalizes in its container if it's been sitting around for a while. I wouldn't trust just anyone touting the fact that their honey is "raw", because I don't...

    What should be understood from claims that atheism is somehow not natural?

    It may come from the fact that there has been research that shows religion and spirituality can be beneficial to one's mental health, as well as a lack of knowledge on most people's parts about civilization, ancient or modern, which originated with agnostic or atheistic beliefs. I'm not...

    Religious or non religious, when do you think america collectively lost its moral compass?

    This is just out of curiosity, and not meant to assume your stance on the matter: Would you consider the American Indian Religious Freedom Act in 1978 to be a moral, immoral, or morally neutral law? As in, is this a subset of the sort of disruption to the respect of Christianity and authority...

    What Fan favorite and monetarily successful movie did you not like?

    I hate the movie Mean Girls. It's pretty bad.

    Anyone Care to Explain Jesus' Mistake?

    Maybe Jesus was very selective about what he considered a seed. Anything smaller than a mustard seed would not do. It's just a godless impersonation of a seed made by the devil to trick people into defying God. I guess??

    Going Nude or Topless at the Beach

    Depending on how bad the UV radiation is, I'd maybe go topless. But like if it's one of those times where UV radiation is at it's peak, then I would not go topless.

    Religious or non religious, when do you think america collectively lost its moral compass?

    America has always had a wishy-washy moral compass. America has never been that great about actually insuring the health and safety of people. Could you call the mass relocation and killing of Native Americans & mass importation of African slaves moral?

    Single mom supports teenage daughter by being paid to date

    I don't see a problem with getting paid to do this. It's better than going on dates with men and not getting paid, honestly. But maybe that's just because I'm fairly homosexual.
