    Should a business be allowed to censor wifi on a religious basis?

    Oh right, only the flavor of "acceptable religions" which is probably why all those Christians pamphlets were there and why it specifically blocked the site for being "occult" instead of "religious content".

    Should a business be allowed to censor wifi on a religious basis?

    That would be kinda awkward but I think they could just change the channel if someone asked. If they don't that's a little different as it's something you are being annoyed with. I know places here that put on tv stations, tend to put 2 or 3 major ones and usually have them muted so people who...

    Should a business be allowed to censor wifi on a religious basis?

    I want all you naysayers to give me a real answer to either the mint or popcorn examples; If you are giving out free mints after someone finishes a meal, should you be able to choose to deny black people and gay people the mints? If a movie theater gave out popcorn to movie goers with no extra...

    Should a business be allowed to censor wifi on a religious basis?

    Also, it's more about the principle than anything else. I absolutely could of just used a VPN to get around it. The reasons comparisons like this is bull**** is because porn isn't allowed in public due to age restrictions. The site in question was basically PG. No violence, no sex, nothing...

    Should a business be allowed to censor wifi on a religious basis?

    It's worth mentioning that in cases of large companies providing anything to enhance the experience at a business they they are subject to certain regulations that anyone else would be even if they don't charge specifically for it. For example if they play even a local radio station they need to...

    Should a business be allowed to censor wifi on a religious basis?

    Worth mentioning, but I wouldn't of went in other than there was Wifi, I did purchase things because I figured I might as well get something to eat and they ask you to leave if you use the wifi without buying anything (not that it's ever happened to me personally). So I did, in fact, pay for a...

    Should a business be allowed to censor wifi on a religious basis?

    But I did pay for it, with my buisness. They give access to wifi as part of their service since they know people will come to purchase food as well. If a movie theater gave out free popcorn so that more people would pay for their movies, could they deny someone popcorn because they are black or...

    Should a business be allowed to censor wifi on a religious basis?

    I'm at a Hardee's at the moment. I decided to log into my favorite LHP forums and got this message: https://i.imgur.com/3r0VVef.png I'm pretty sure, that since this is a public space (since they invite the public in) they can't or at least shouldn't be allowed to censor things purely out of...

    Gravitational Pull From Venus and Jupiter Influence Earth's Climate/Life Forms

    Well, what i mean is, you can check what anyone says against a consensus at least, for example: I'm not saying a layman should debate the late Hawkings on the mathematics black hole entropy but it's pretty easy to check it against something. How much you understand of it yourself will...

    Gravitational Pull From Venus and Jupiter Influence Earth's Climate/Life Forms

    It can be hard for a layman to check against someone well educated in a field but it's been done before, and is actively encouraged to those getting into said fields. Science wouldn't get anywhere if people didn't review each others work either. So healthy skepticism is par for the course for...

    Gravitational Pull From Venus and Jupiter Influence Earth's Climate/Life Forms

    It's worth mentioning the the variation of that cycle only accounts for changes of 0.2 Kelvin up or down, depending on the point of the cycle. Over decades it's effect would even out to be almost nonexistent. Surface warming by the solar cycle as revealed by the composite mean difference Green...

    Gravitational Pull From Venus and Jupiter Influence Earth's Climate/Life Forms

    Maybe I misunderstood, but the elongation wasn't gradually over that 400k years, but more so happened every 400k years to either bring the Earth's orbit to more circular or to make it 5% more elliptical than that more circular orbit, like flipping between two different paths every 400k years...

    no hell

    I kind of think this isn't solving the inherent issue, just the auxiliary one about cruelty because in my view destroying people for all eternity is still an infinite punishment for a finite an temporary crime. Does your theology have an answer to that part of the equation? I have trouble...

    The Gods are Like Water

    I'll need to think about this, but I'll say that intuitively it makes sense although I kind of feel the metaphor could be improved a little. I'm not totally certain that gods are always as arbitrary as this implicitly suggests, but I think they can be, contextually. I'll have to think more on it.

    We are not equal.

    All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others, or so some old donkey told me. I think people confuse "equal" with "same". We are all different, but we are all equal in rights and fundamental value. At least in theory Sadly this is true in many cases.

    Your 'primary' scripture(s)?

    I'm curious what everyone's main scripture(s) is that they look to, in their beliefs and practices. For me it's Vasugupta's writings above all else. What about you?

    [LHP] Why am I afraid?

    the ego of Jung ect is different from the ego of Hindu theology in some important ways. However Aquino's statements there about it are roughly similar to Trika's view of Anu's relation with Shakti and Shiva. It's the same general idea although some details are different. The "Aham" as a focus...

    Hate to ask; but need help

    Just got approval from the mods for this. Edit: An online friend sent the remaning about to me directly (detailed on the page) so this topic isn't needed anymore. Thanks for whoever it was that were the two people who donated that may or may not of been from RF :D In either case I reached it's...

    [LHP] Why am I afraid?

    Look, I'm only responding and debating to make clear where I stand and what my religion says .I have no interest in arguing what religion is "right". If you are trying to say that my as a whole religion is wrong, just outright say that instead of trying to find some internal reason in it to...

    The Function of Liberals, Progressives, and Radicals in American Politics

    It's sad that single payer universal healthcare is "radical" in the United States when almost every single other developed world and developing world nation on the planet has it. That aside, this kind of lines up with what I've seen in my relatively short life although I didn't realize the...
