    DeSantis Trying to Force Chaplains in Schools

    The Satanic Temple usually doesn't do activism except when it is called for by the activism of the religious.

    to atheists: Which religion do you like most?

    There once was a "test" to which religion / position about religion one was affiliated. (It was also discussed on RF.) I scored highest for Agnosticism, obviously, but still around 60% for Buddhism, the highest ranking "real" religion. (But there was no evaluation of Pastafarianism and Jediism.)

    Student Protests Against Israel Are Wonderful

    Protests against Israel are stupid outside of Israel, they don't care. Vilifying Jews is stupid and dangerous. Supporting Hamas is beyond stupid. Having said that, protests against one's own government supporting war crimes is what is useful and ethical.

    Apophaticists: Do you exist?

    Define "god". Define "I".

    Is the Universe "Flat"?

    Dr. Becky is one of my favourite science communicators. I rarely miss any of her videos. Yes, it would. The cosmological constant (which probably isn't constant) gives us an estimate of the size of the universe at any given time. The yellow line is for a closed universe, positive curvature...

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    Question 0 is. what is this god thingy, how is it defined?

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    We'd have to have a debate about epistemology first to decide what counts as evidence, especially what counts as scientific evidence. Jurisprudence uses a different definition that is much weaker, testimony counts as evidence in court, not in science. Most atheists don't. They say that the lack...

    The Profit of War

    And you believe him? The troops were marching towards Kyiv. He was under the delusional impression that the Ukrainian people would welcome him with open arms, like the people in Crimea did.

    The so-called global flood--evidence against

    You can't. You don't address the problem when you confront a YEC with scientific evidence against the flood. The problem is not that they lack education in geology, biology, astronomy or physics, the problem is that they lack education in science as an idea and in epistemology, often also logic...

    Interviewing Heyo

    Yep. Although I see the pragmatic necessity. "You can't do that" should be reserved for being a married bachelor, dividing by zero and breaking laws of nature. "You can't do that, yet" or "you can't do it that way" are better answers, but then you'd have to show how it is done.

    Resurrection Through "Quantum Archaeology"

    ... and think it means something? People who construct quantum computers are happy if they can keep entanglement until their computation is done (at close to 0 Kelvin), and you think there is "entangled" "quantum information" in the environment of a deceased person?

    Interviewing Heyo

    It increased my interest in science and technology. Others weren't phased by it, at least not in that way. But I think it affected us all for a long time. The outlook on life was mostly positive for all of us. Control. People who can't help themselves are dependent. When I can convince them...

    School, NYPD 'cannot guarantee Jewish students' safety - Columbia rabbi tells Jewish students to leave Campus

    "Truth is the first casualty in war." - Ethel Annakin (probably) I wouldn't believe anything propagated by either side, neither the first reports nor the debunking. If it isn't agreed upon by both sides or reported by an independent source, it is most likely propaganda.

    School, NYPD 'cannot guarantee Jewish students' safety - Columbia rabbi tells Jewish students to leave Campus

    You forget the nature of the medium. A conversation at a party is momentary and only a few people can partake if you're not all using megaphones. Your posts stay and can be read by hundreds of people. That is not a party conversation, it is more like an article in a newspaper (where other...

    Do they believe him? He started the war.

    Is the Universe "Flat"?

    Cosmologists tell us that the universe is most probably "flat", i.e. there is no universal curvature. I have problems to wrap my brain around that. 1. If space was curled up into a singularity at the Big Bang, when did it expand to infinity? Is there even a mathematical possibility to go from...

    He had about 17 years which are undocumented.

    School, NYPD 'cannot guarantee Jewish students' safety - Columbia rabbi tells Jewish students to leave Campus

    I attribute it, at least in part, to the frenzy people have whipped themselves into. The "I am right, and you are wrong" mentality transfers from the subject of the debate to tangential matters. @IndigoChild5559 wouldn't admit to being wrong in any case, even it was just a typo, in conversation...

    Not if only defending parties are supported.

    How Much Do You Doubt God's Existence?

    The Bible says nothing about his marriage status, and is also suspiciously quiet about his teens and twenties. He could have been married (there are passages from which some have constructed that hypothesis, like the wedding in Canaan), or he could have been widowed, without breaking with social...
