I side with neither; I serve Satan, the master of all!
Ya, Jehovah is not God! Not in my book anyway!
The problem is you are presuming the Christianity as the default "god" thereby marginalizing other world religions.
FYI I have no affiliation with The Satanic Temple and I've not seen the show. I don't know the facts reguarding their supposed copyright, it may simply be on their specific design in the specific way they did it (kinda like how you can copyright a specific performance of Mozart but not Mozart...
Again no one is calling to ban any costumes! How hard is this to understand?
So you admit there is a point where something is in bad taste? Well that's the "political correctness" that usually everyone is raging about!
@Sunstone you are missing key points of data, and I'm actually finding that liberals are more supportive of free speech and that conservatives are more likely to want their own "political correctness" not vieled in the buzzwords.
Everything we think about the political correctness debate is...
This a a strawman and not related to what I said. First and foremost no one least of all me has called for a ban on anything.
As for each costume, I don't think that dressing up as a mariachi band is in of itself an issue, just when it's conjoined with racist stereotypes. The pope costume...
I'm going to have be in the minority then and say we probably shouldn't dress up as racial or ethnic stereotypes if we don't wanna seem like an ***. Is anyone here gonna actually defend dressing up in black face? If not, then why would you dress up in something considered sacred by it's people...
God has choices, but not fully free will nor determinism. Since we are god, the question in my mind is the same. Compatiblism is my best answer.
However, a realized self surely has the most freedom of choice and exertion of will, since now it has maximal power and is freed from karma. Some...
This is the actual story so far: What I’m really doing in California
But the short of it, West Virginia was unsafe for me so I left pretty much as soon as I could. On my way there the apartment fell through, and well at least I met some interesting people along the way.
It's been kind of an...
Well I hadn't had a chance to really post as my laptop was dead and I didn't get a seat with a plug for a while. Indaiapolis was a nightmare as per the last time I was in that station years ago, and Saint Louis was kind of confusing But I got on the right bus with my stuff.
*Smashes banjo and...
Just left Columbus Ohio and met an online friend there. It was stressful the last few minutes as there was confusion with the tags on my checked luggage and I had to rush to the counter to get new tags. Then one of the workers got mad at me for I'm not totally sure what. Anyways heading further...
Cherry picking arbitrarily, yes. Taking specific elements or themes across religions? No. The former in my view discriminates and what is cherry picked may not even be related or only tangentially so, while the latter is coming from some central idea or set of ideas and whatever religions or...
I am right now on the first bus to California, where I am escaping the wasteland that is West Virginia. I'm going across the country and just wanted to let you all know! The town I'm going to has three Hindu temples, and I have it arranged to soon after I'm there get an apartment with a...
In my experience, the success rate is lower than in person. But using voice communication or video chat makes it more like in person. I think people can fall in love from just text communication and interaction but is what you are falling in love with real or a lie? It's harder to get away with...
I thought buddhists were supposed to be agnostic about the nature of selves generally.
Sure it doesn't have biological sex but it has gender, in my experience, and can do things very much like sex.
From my experience anyway :D
So if our spirits are not set in a form why does it bother you...
You are contradicting yourself. If as you say our true nature is spirit and it's not physical then you can't say that someone is definitely male or female due to genetics. Your original argument was using what you are now calling "delusive".
I see no reason that spirits can't have male or...
Freakish? Pft such ignorant (and potentially hateful) rhetoric.
You only think that a few are "exceptions" because the vast majority of trans people, you never suspect of being transgender. You only notice the ones still transitioning or that don't pass as well, and only a few passing ever...
