    Does it bother you to be called religious?

    Non-arbitrarily. It just feels like pageantry to discuss the "definition" of religion when those I am speaking against are clearly changing the meaning in a way to be critical of other belief systems. To be more direct, I am using the term in a neutral, objective way devoid of judgement or...

    Finally! A Pro-Trump Politician Everyone Can Love!

    I'm still trying to figure out what happens... does the Democrat default to winning? Do the Republicans go with their second choice? I'm so confused...

    Thinking of going to a Durga Temple

    Unfortunately no website, but there are some pictures and a phone number on google maps. So I should just go and hope I don't get nervous and suddenly forget everything? That happens sometimes when I'm flustered. I don't feel very confident the first time in totally new social situations, not...

    Thinking of going to a Durga Temple

    So, in the next couple of days I should be moved into my new apartment. Just three miles from where I'll live will be a Durga temple and I'm thinking of attending it as Shakta is similar to my sect of Shaivism in a few ways from what I understand and there is a large focus on goddess/Shakti...

    Does it bother you to be called religious?

    But you still are religious because of the context of your belief system around Yeshua. You can't sit there and seriously tell me that you have a belief system based around your relatives or friends, like you do with Yeshua. And what do we call a spiritual belief system? I'm pretty sure that's...

    Does it bother you to be called religious?

    *scowls at you suspiciously* Of course I do! Because that's what they are. This whole "relationship with x" is just a euphemism. As far as I can tell, it's way for them to have their cake and eat it too, because for some reason they feel icky about the word "religion". I often too see them...

    Christian Atheists

    I wasn't even talking about that part, but even this is a non sequitur from "Christian atheists". I give up.

    Some Good News about Ozone!

    I knew I shouldn't trust comedians! As someone pointed out, it's more so UV rays from the sun but I'd imagine it protects against some cosmic rays too. Gama radiation is no laughing matter, however it's probably infrequent enough to not be a major concern (unless maybe there was a nearby cosmic...

    Christian Atheists

    Could you try being more clear in what you are trying to ask? The second sentence in particular just, I think I get what you mean but it's a confusing way to state it. There was/is a group called "Christian atheists" but I don't know if that has any relationship to what you are talking about.

    Does it bother you to be called religious?

    One of my pet peeves is this "I'm not religious" when someone totally is, oddly across all religions they always also say "I have a relationship with x" like what the hell do you think a religion is? lol I find it pretentious and annoying. But ya, I consider myself religious.

    Trump Warns That Democrats Would Drag Nation Back to Days of Tolerance and Decorum

    It's satire, but feel like it's not that far removed from all the subtext of what he's always saying.

    How the Victimhood Culture is Teaching People to View Others as Good or Evil

    This still happens today, particularly when the rapist is someone important on the school's athletic team. It happens a lot. It's also why I don't believe this "victim culture" nonsense, there is more of a culture of "boys will be boys" and "she must of wanted it".

    Whose Side Are You On, God's Or That Of Morality?

    Perhaps it is too subtle for you, but I was implying that your statement resembled a 'cleansing' so to speak. I know what followed afterwards clarified it but that doesn't stop the metaphor itself from being problematic and broadly sweeping. And everyone should have a say on policy but that...

    Whose Side Are You On, God's Or That Of Morality?

    That choice of language is disconcerting. In any case, I see no reason why a belief in gods needs to conflict with a scientific understanding of the world. Also, something I just recalled but morality in the Old Testament was largely based on economics rather than an evil as we would think of...

    Whose Side Are You On, God's Or That Of Morality?

    Oh, there is a problem. That as a culture people don't even know who "Yahweh" is, although a few more know the name "Jehovah". Everyone just thinks of "God" as the Christian, Islamic and Jewish one which is troubling. Rarely do we say "God" and mean Shiva or Vishnu or whatever. Hence pointing...

    Bill Maher: "When Did Liberals Become the Fun Police?"

    1. That isn't at all what I said. I'm saying that it's a buzzword that is vague and kind of meaningless and that when you are much more specific a large chunk of people are less opposed to the idea of censoring others either legally or socially. And what people consider hate speech or acceptable...

    How the Victimhood Culture is Teaching People to View Others as Good or Evil

    I had already linked an article regarding the related subject of political correctness (which plays into this as it relates to people feeling 'victimized' by being offended in this similar war) in your other thread (I'll fix this link later if it's wrong, site is having maintenance atm)...

    Whose Side Are You On, God's Or That Of Morality?

    I'm just suggesting you be more specific in the future. No need to take it so seriously. I also might have an agenda to make people say Yahweh and such instead of "God" so people stop conflating the two so much.

    Poll on Conservative Policies

    Why would their lazy over our lazy fill in those positions? I'd think neither would bother. And so what if some have a criminal record? I don't think all types of crimes should exclude someone. Sure, I can think of examples otherwise that it could be argued but that would be based on a "but they...

    My thoughts is that you might be sharing a bit too much personal info but that's just me.
