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...
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"
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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??
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.
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?
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.
