    Let's finally hash it out -- what religious liberties are Americans lacking?

    Oh I don't believe it either.. I'm just trying to be more of a concise writer, so I don't qualify everything.. I also am skeptical that the kings impart divine qualities in their offspring, if it is the case that some of them believed that

    Let's finally hash it out -- what religious liberties are Americans lacking?

    I think I traced my genealogy back one time through some possible ancestors, and it eventually went back to a viking leader who I guess may have had a lot of offspring. I heard that genghis khan might have a lot as well. I haven't thought a lot about this, but in ancient times when this kind of...

    Has the eugenics movement really ended?

    and that's basically genetic engineering , or is that something different.. I thought they were getting to where they can actually go in with a computer and edit stuff around

    Let's finally hash it out -- what religious liberties are Americans lacking?

    think what you want. I think that if you suppress speech, then people just get worse in private. Plus plenty of social media platforms, for example, add layers of regulation themselves, which I think is fine. Where things start to get debatable is where views meet action, which is what I think...

    Has the eugenics movement really ended?

    I can't really see , how everyone can't see, a very large wall of selection pressure existing, without anyone trying, just by comparing how life is lived in modern times, compared to any time in the past. So many rapid changes, and that is all selection pressure I think.

    Abortion

    I don't know what the status of one's ability to express opinions on abortion is currently, now that roe v wade was overturned But I can tell you that I am pro birth-control, and I think the world population should go down to about a half billion to a billion. All it would take is for people to...

    Let's finally hash it out -- what religious liberties are Americans lacking?

    I think being polite to other people is nice, but if the powers limit speech enough, you can't criticize the government. Watch the latest Mehdi Hasan interview with Victor Gao, see what you think of that

    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    The universe is spinning away , and we humans are the animals who imprint little marks on time, and build a little bit of stuff from the matter we find there. That bit of time, we demarcate as Thursday , and from that piece of wood, someone makes an out-of-tune cello. The universe is the pizza...

    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    I think skepticism is justified , regarding how it happens. Many people in history became hermits , or became somewhat isolated, because the ways of people didn't inspire them. I'm kind of like that, but I don't really try to be. People with their group-thought usually present flaws, but it...

    Let's debate "UBI"

    I would still need to be convinced about the 1:1 job ratio problem, where jobs that are automated are replaced in equal measure by new jobs It is not entirely obvious what the causes of stagnation are exactly. I've known too many people that work 2 jobs, and never read books. Without typical...

    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    It's a lot for the human mind to understand , and people really don't like the idea, but I think we have to remember that we are dealing with a being that involves itself in vast creations. As long, I think, as they are individually self-consistent creations, is possibly what matters. You...

    Trump-Vance anti-Haitian Hate Speech

    I don't believe the rhetoric about eating pets without evidence, and I wouldn't be surprised if many of them are nice, hardworking people. That said, I have social and economic questions about people immigrating to this country. I don't think it's a win for leftism, if that's your side...

    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    because perhaps God can create truths that look to humans as being contradictory.. But I don't think this means that the followers of the religions should show skepticism. If multiple paths are present, it gives motion to the human world, and causes people to wonder farther than they would...

    Monotheism is not economically, or socially viable

    I said all those places may have done it. I didn't disinclude ancient Israel. They may not have done it all in the same way as each other, but it seems like something that would have universally affected the economy across the whole ancient world. Unless there was a spot it didn't happen

    Let's finally hash it out -- what religious liberties are Americans lacking?

    Liberty is a pretty squirrely word, and it's probably best if we kind of accept that it is like that. I think there should be more national discussion on what the word actually means, in our modern context. For example, I didn't watch the presidential debate, but if I was the moderator, I would...

    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    If God has free-will, then the religions of the world are more like "thoughts" that he has, than religions in the way we think of them. Behind any of the religions, there would still be a non-determined conscious entity. Granted, god probably has created religions that are designed for people to...

    Describe an imaginary stable country / society for a 100 year span

    This probably will be dud thread, as it's not that well thought out. Well, all my threads are like that I just want you to sketch out an imaginary country, start with a plot of land.. give it resources etc. Give it some industry etc Now I want you to imagine it existing for 100 years, in a as...

    Let's finally hash it out -- what religious liberties are Americans lacking?

    What liberties are the state supposedly repressing? I think in modern times, religion seems to want to influence the laws of society with moralisms, though the religions that had moralisms always sort of did , and probably inevitably always did influence the state. States tend to like to...

    Can a person not believe in the God of Abraham and be a Christian?

    I don't know exactly, but it is a good question, simply because the biblical Jesus was highly ephemeral to some of the people who saw him / believed in him, unlike what happened between important leaders and followers in the other Abrahamic religions. You might have been in a crowd back then...
