“Like many atheists, it sounds like you have to really talk yourself into believing there's no God.”
Maybe they can’t express themselves well, or maybe you’re projecting your bleefs onto them.

“And whenever we have to talk ourselves into believing or doing something, then there's probably a problem with that something.”
I question your premise and don’t feel that this quite follows.

“No offense, but we who know and follow God are intellectually stronger than people who do not.”
Been in WAY too many arguments where the Faithful flog a logical fallacy to buy into this bullshit arrogance.

“We don't need proof, nor do we need to see Him physically, to accept that He exists.”
You needed SOMETHING to convince you. Or you were brainwashed as a youth.

“It takes a certain mental and intellectual strength to do that -- something which atheists don't have.”
Feel free to prove this self-serving bullshit.

“If you're married I don't think it would be rape...because technically you already consented to sleeping with him when you married him.”
You agreed to sleep ONLY with him. Not to be available for sex 24/7.

“But that's a different situation. If you are married and don't want to have sex with the person then why'd you marry them?”
Maybe he came straight into the tent after butchering a deer and you want him to wash the offal off before he touches you?

“Why do people think you need sunlight for plants. Plants grown on the ocean floor 5 miles down. It's documented.”
Citation needed.
It’s usually no more than about 650 FEET down.
A few special spots with unique light conditions, up to 880 feet.
Not five miles.

“Pluto was once considered, scientifically, to be a planet you know!”
And when they came up with the definition of ‘dwarf planet,’ they realized it qualified. Big whoop.

You’re an idiot.

“Even if someone thinks gay mariges are ok with them,”
Okay.

“the social cost in tax money should give them pause.”
So, the state gains a benefit from stable couples buying homes, raising kids, buying cars, establishing estates that are shared. More married people just means more stability. It’s a net benefit, not a cost.

So if you find women - not just their current cultural expression, not just their characters. but their very biology - so disturbing and disgusting, why are you so upset that they want nothing to do with you?

“America is guilty of killing 50,000,000 babies by abortion--”
And now we’re killing women by denying abortions.

“guilty of killing over 100,000 innocent Iraqi's--”
Yeah, Bush should be brought to justice.

“guilty of promoting killing through it's violent movies--”
If that’s the threshold, how many wars were started by people waving a Bible?

“guilty of torturing and killing Terri Schiavo--”
You mean, giving her what she specifically asked for?

“and guilty of killing the Lord Jesus Christ.”
I thought you all insisted god is NOT dead! I thought we had him! Where’s he hiding? Is he with Elvis?

Ahavah #fundie

“The modern PC Feminist attitude completely disregards God's design and in unnatural and unsustainable.”
Hmmm.
My wife was 34 and 39 when we had our kids.
Part of the delay was wanting to be sure we could pay their way through college, so they didn’t start life with crippling debt… Like she did.
All three of our kids were born 3 months premature. Any problems they currently have seem based on the prematurity, not ‘old’ eggs.
They are currently 31 and 36 and doing well in their chosen fields. Looks pretty natural and sustainable. Once more the believer seems to be the disappointment.

I wonder how many people become transgender activists DUE TO having more than one transgendered kid? Not the other way around?
My guess, rounding down, would be all of them.

“There are many atheists who claim to be such because there is "absolutely no proof whatsoever" that supports the existence of God.”
No, sweetie, we find no evidence of ANY gods. They’re all clearly inventions of men.

“Yet, many of these same people will tell you that they firmly believe that there is intellegent”
Intelligent.

“life elsewhere in the universe, even though there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that would support such a claim.”
Did you ever ask them why?
Science has yet to find anything that ABSOLUTELY cannot be explained without a deity. So no matter how complicated something is, or how great the odds against it in an undirected universe, it’s still possible.

Then, pick any number you like for the odds against intelligent life on any planet occuring without a deity. Any number you like.
Multiply that number times the number of planets in the universe.
So, the estimated number of appropriate planets for each star, times the number of appropriate stars in the galaxy, times the number of estimated galaxies… It approaches a certainty.
If the odds are a million to one against, then with a million planets, the odds are 1:1. With a billion planets, it’s 1000 to 1. With a trillion planets, 1000000 to 1.

A rightist murdered those who were Republican voters - and potential future Republican voters who were white - via a bomb outside the Alfred P. Murrah Building. A rightist murdered a white woman - who could have contributed to the white race - via a weaponised vehicle at Charlottesville. What could have been done to the then Republican Vice President had those outside the Capitol Building chanting ‘Hang Mike Pence’ if they’d gotten their hands on him on 6th January 2021. A family potentially denied their right to a father. And all by the right. Proof of white rightist terrorism.

As I’m of the left, all I need to do is two things:

One: Via using the Ballot Paper as a political weapon, I helped in the process of Starmergeddon - the electoral destruction of the Conservatives - last year. And - via our giving the Labour Party a 400+ seat majority - exerted our political will: Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

Two: Say this to those of the right: May you live in interesting times.

No violence required with either of the above. With Starmer, we have what is the alternative: Make Politics Boring Again. ‘Populism’? It never had the right to exist in the first place: just ask what was basically the Poundland Trump that is Boris ‘Bozo the Clown’ Johnson after what happened to him.

And I like living in uninteresting times.

Rational AKD #fundie

“this is going around in a never ending circle...”
Because you keep ducking your clear responsibility.

“I realize you don't have a claim that God doesn't exist, but you've still claimed that such a proposition is more rational than saying "God exists."”
Based on the absence of proof FOR any of the gods, then concluding the universe is godless IS more rational than pretending there’s a reason to believe in gods.

“so nice try, you still can't avoid burden of proof.”
Still not making a positive claim of negative divinity, so still dodging the burden. You pretending it’s my burden doesn’t make it so.

How unusual, an incel who doubles-down on never being relatable to a woman.
Meanwhile, this ‘fool’ gets laid.

Did the comedian let the kids get surgery? If yes, then I personally don’t approve of that. Surgery should only be done on adults IMO. If they didn’t get surgery, then IDGAF.

And this, people, is what happens when you decide to enforce yourself within an echo chamber. He’s never met anyone left of himself that he didn’t cast out immediately, so he believes this garbage.

Astrological Darwinism

That again reminded me of “Astrology only cares about the names of things. If the planet we know as Mars had ended up named Jupiter and vice versa, then today astronomy would’ve been pretty much exactly as we know it. But astrology would’ve been very different, because astrologers only go by the cultural baggage of the names.”

John Ringo #wingnut #crackpot #quack

The Right is evil and therefore assumes that the Left is even MORE evil and can't grasp it isn't. Thus they assume the Left talks 'privately' about wanting to kill their opponent's children not realizing that... no we don't.

The Right is evil.

Since the Left is bad we are more evil.

We are just better at hiding it.

That is REALLY HOW THEY THINK.

And, yes, they want to not only kill you but your children.

I hate to be all Helen Lovejoy but I wish these people would think of the children, the trans children. Kids’ brains aren’t developed enough to understand that these attacks aren’t about them but are deliberate acts to gain political power on their backs. That means they will internalize this and falsely think that they’ve done something wrong. It will make them feel worse if they think that might “cause” their parents, doctors, or teachers to go to prison as well as having to fear state welfare agents pulling them out of their homes and into foster settings where they will be sent to conversion therapy or otherwise abused. This has to be hell on their still developing brains.

Political bullies are causing so much long term damage to youth. To any politician that sees this as an appropriate way to get power: if you feel the need to bully children then you are not qualified for even the office of dog catcher.

You would first have to establish that it’s POSSIBLE to make someone transgendered if they’re not born that way. That it’s not just a matter of encouraging and allowing them to transition when they realize it.
THEN you’d have to prove that these two kids, either one or both, were not born that way and were transitioned by their parents for the shits and giggles.
And you’d have to get testimony from doctors with equal or better experience in transgendered youths than whoever was involved in their cases to prove they were not born that way.
And prove that the parents wanted trangendered kids…
AND prove that this was some sort of harm being done…
And then find some way to shoehorn all of the above into a crime that exists and existed when their kids transitioned.

TLDR: No.

Parents With Inconvenient Truths about Trans #transphobia #fundie

My son, who cannot tell me exactly why he wants to be a girl, shows me propaganda such as bingo games

I must be missing something here. “Bingo games”?? What the hell is this woman talking about? The thing where you got a card and some person yells out “O-72!″ or whatever and you yell “Bingo” because you got a line and that means you just won 20 bucks or something? That can’t be it, but that’s the only thing I’m thinking of.

Rhodesia was a meritocratic democracy

Even if that’s what you think, the emphasis here is on was.

Even in the past, when South Africa was still an apartheid state, the Sci-Fi film “The Running Man” mentioned a Mandelaburg.

You should watch “District 9″ too, OP: that deals with the future.

I've seen people say shit online like "I wish I hadn't been born so my mom could have lived a better life".

Really? I’ve never heard anyone say that in my life.

Worry about yourself first.

OK, I agree with that actually…but I think “worrying about myself” includes worrying and caring about the people who I care about (like my mother for instance) because my life would be worse if they weren’t around.

Uncommon Sense #wingnut #racist

I’m a white guy who grew up in middle-class suburbia. Apart from everyone’s cars and clothing being outdated, I’ve been to family gatherings and/or cookouts and such that didn’t look too different from that. The last one was at my half-black cousin’s place, so maybe that wouldn’t fit with the vision, I suppose!

Graham Linehan #transphobia

…Since when is having a child who consciously lives outside the norm a “crime” of the parents? This makes no sense even by transphobe standards.

Could these parents conceivably be charged with a crime?

NO. Having a transgender child is not a crime anywhere that I’m aware of.

fairly accepted by contemporary metaphysicians, paranormal researchers, as well as many of the Truthers and Patriots

If those are who have “fairly accepted” something, that sounds to me like a good reason to NOT accept whatever we’re talking about.

Jacob Chansley #wingnut #conspiracy #magick #god-complex

This just reminds me of the time when the former pro wrestler known as Rhaka Khan started a lawsuit accusing uh…various entities…of conspiracy to kidnap her children, and maybe other things, I forget.

To quote the “AI overview” I got when googling it:

Rhaka Khan (Tricia Biggers) was involved in a lawsuit that was dismissed after she sued nearly 1,000 people and organizations, including celebrities, wrestlers, law enforcement, and even the entire state of Texas, alleging a "conspiracy to kidnap" her and her children. The lawsuit, filed around 2019, sought $3 billion and was part of a pattern of numerous lawsuits Biggers has filed, which generally have not been successful.

I don’t remember where, but I read once that everyone (as in every person on the planet Earth) is at least 50th cousins with everyone else. So yeah, what he’s saying is really nothing special or surprising, at all. Without any context, I don’t know what point he thinks he’s making by pointing out distant relationships between well-known people. I’m distantly related to both British and French kings, but that doesn’t mean anything in particular other than to say “haha, look at that, that’s kinda cool maybe”

If it wasn’t for Jesus

Hey, I’m a big fan of an “adult” RPG where the protagonist ends up with a bunch of female party members to choose from…let’s see, there’s a paladin, several cleric and/or mage types, and even a goth-girl necromancer ;)

I guess so, if by “merit” you mean “being white.” Which I’m thinking is probably what they do mean.

Isn’t “meritocratic democracy” kind of an oxymoron, anyway?

So… “the Demons” are more powerful than God? Since they can make someone be what God doesn’t want them to be?

Diane Princess of Wales -related by marriage- Camilla Parker Bowles

You would think that the link of marriage - you know, George W. having once been the OMG-11th-Cousin-Twice-Removed-In-Law of the future king of Britain - than drawing an absurdly vague indirect connection - does “remarriage years after the first spouse’s divorce and death” even constitute a relationship by marriage? - to two random pop musicians. Especially considering that the Windsors are like the third favourite namedrop for an Illuminati bloodline?

Also, folly that it is to expect any consistency from a Flat Earther, but shouldn’t it be either “Diana Francis Spencer” or “Camilla Duchess of Cornwall” (assuming this to be pre-coronation)?
