Good old henry. If all else fails, shoot the fuckers. :)

Re: Sex and gender

I don't think they are even delusional. Does it matter if they are or aren't? I don't think it matters. Jackasses or nutjobs, the solutions are the same... -The community solution: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and (when all else fails) the ammo box. -The individual solution: When cha...

I used to feel that way. Done rode the horse too many times now. It ain't fun anymore. All I got to show for any of it is piles.

Re: "Atheists Killed >140 millions" is Fallacious

If God knows absolutely what I will do: I cannot be a free will. I am a free will and God exists. So: He chooses to deny Himself knowledge of what I will do, or, He is incapable of knowing what I'll do. In the first (which I favor) God can but does not. In the second (which I disfavor) God simply ca...

Re: "Atheists Killed >140 millions" is Fallacious

even if my knowledge of your choice is 100% right, it wouldn't imply I made you choose anything. Your knowledge is based on knowing me and what I've done. I may surprise you with what I choose to do next. God's knowledge, as you reckon Him, is absolute. He knows not only what I've done, but what I ...

Re: "Atheists Killed >140 millions" is Fallacious

I would say that whether or not anybody knows what you do has no impact on what you do. God is not just anybody. Moreover, it's not Him knowing what I do that's in question: it's Him knowing what I will do that's on the table. I might know you'll root for Michigan, not Washington, on Monday. Even i...

Re: "Atheists Killed >140 millions" is Fallacious

My 2 cents, as a deist... If I am a free will (the libertarian kind almost everyone here works so hard to deny) then God cannot know what I'll choose to do next. I am a libertarian free will. God doesn't know what I'll choose to do next. Mebbe He chooses to deny Himself that knowledge; mebbe He is ...

Re: The USA and Israel

My efforts are in my control. The result is not . Of course not. But you are making efforts, yes? You call and write your congress folk, yes? You've repeatedly contacted the White House, yes? You've written multiple letters to the editor, yes? You march for your side/against the other side, yes? Yo...

Re: "Atheists Killed >140 millions" is Fallacious

Anyone who sees it otherwise and attributes some special religious or spiritual woo that elevates man above the meat and beasts will of course simply declare that God, or Crom, or the spirits of his dead pets tell him all his own beliefs are justified, and he is more likely to kill becuz someone el...

Re: The USA and Israel

Being horrified doesn't help the people who are going to die today, tomorrow, the next day ... No, it doesn't. Pressure needs to be applied to those in a position of power. That means speaking out, particularly in the US, because America has a lot of clout. And how that workin' out for ya? Speaking...

Re: The USA and Israel

one side started the thing. One side bombed more. One side won't stop shooting rockets. One side has more tanks. One side butchered and raped civilians. One side issues civilian warnings before blowing things to smithereens. One side is actually genocidal. One kidnaps. One side has historically mor...

Re: The USA and Israel

Israel and Palestine.

You don't have pick a side.

You can be horrified at the atrocities visited by either on the other without climbing aboard a bandwagon.

Re: "Atheists Killed >140 millions" is Fallacious

meat is food. If man is the soulless, amoral event a person like this... man is nothing more than a piece of meat just like any other piece of meat which once occupied the planet. What makes him unique rather than special is that singular piece of meat pored into his cranium. Once dead, he's not on...
