    How do Baha’is see atheists?

    Hmm, if I know the ocean exists, but I can't explore it, then I know the ocean exists even though the ocean is unknowable. If I see the tip of the iceberg, then I know the iceberg exists even if I don't know how big it is. It seems to me that saying God is "unknowable" is an insufficient...

    China Places Country Dangerously Close To US Warship

    I thought President Xi spoke on behalf of China, but maybe I'm wrong. What "inner circle" do you refer to? Do you think Eastern Media coverage is significantly different from Western Media coverage on the topic of China's aggression toward Taiwan? The cause of aggression near Taiwan is...

    Curriculum Body in India Decided To Drop Evolution and Periodic Table From School Science

    According to ‘Periodic table have been made more age-appropriate, not removed’: Read the NCERT clarification over curriculum changes, the concepts in question are still taught in higher or lower classes. Moverover, I looked at the linked provided in your article (NCERT) and saw, for example...

    China Places Country Dangerously Close To US Warship

    Maybe everyone should start conducting military flights in Taiwan's airspace. More seriously, China is willing to militarily conquer Taiwan (if able). Their aggression is not a question of willingness; it is a question of consequence. What are the consequences of China aggression? One...

    According to google Oxford Languages a female is... But, you know, there are also many female genetic characteristics that are connoted with the use of this word to refer to people.

    Can we compromise on abortion?

    I would avoid voting simply to compromise, but I think do think this is a likely result with exceptions, of course, and subject to regulation.

    Can we compromise on abortion?

    Oh, that's right... you don't believe that an abortion is killing. Your argument is that: Mothers in their third trimester want to have their babies because the mothers that do not want to have their babies have already had them aborted earlier in their pregnancies. Therefore, they should be...

    Free will deniers

    It's not clear to me that most of the people who profess not believe in free will also believe that they are not responsible for their own choices, which is... kind of funny actually. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's a good poll question.

    Can we compromise on abortion?

    You argue that women in late term want to have their babies because the mothers that wanted to kill their babies have already done so earlier in their pregnancy (before it was illegal to do so). Explain the misunderstanding. That would be a radical position: that killing is not killing. And...

    Can we compromise on abortion?

    That's your argument. I wouldn't say it makes no sense, merely that it isn't a very good argument. I think it is an exception for many people besides myself. Generally speaking, killing requires a justification; it is an action of serious consequence for us. It sounds like you would also...

    Can we compromise on abortion?

    It might be true that most woman in late-term pregnancy want to have the baby, but by your own argument the reason is because women get an abortion before it is illegal to get one. An example of an exception to a ban on abortion would be danger to the mother. Hmm, it looked like you were...

    Poll: The best argument against God, capital G.

    The best argument would be to discredit the Bible somehow, argue that the Bible's been rewritten or that the testimonies are subjective, for example.

    Can we compromise on abortion?

    Abortion law post-viability has been around since before and after Roe vs Wade and Dobbs. Of course those abortions have, largely, not been a problem. That's the result we expect! I predict that this sort of position won't hold up; I predict that exceptions to abortion will prevail in the...

    Can we compromise on abortion?

    It does look like the trend includes banning third trimester abortions (with exceptions for things like danger to the mother), but I don't understand your argument yet. Are you arguing that third trimester abortions specifically shouldn't be banned because they are only 1% of abortions or are...

    Vague, Ill-Defined, or Loaded Terms in Discussions

    I think that if a term seems too vague to be meaningful within a discussion, then that term can be made more clear or can be discarded though a process of discussion.

    Can we compromise on abortion?

    It is something to consider that bad times often reveal the problems. In this case, Roe vs Wade was a bad ruling. Subsequent rulings on abortion by the Supreme Court demonstrate how the Roe vs Wade decision didn't hold up (Casey being significant in that regard). And eventually the Roe vs...

    Is it unethical to coerce a child into believing a lie?

    Generally speaking, it is wrong to coerce (persuade an unwilling person by force or threats). But that doesn't mean that there aren't exceptions to this general rule. Moreover, it is, generally speaking, wrong to cause someone to believe a lie - let alone use force or threats to do so. That...

    Can we compromise on abortion?

    It takes time for radical extremists to be proven wrong. Sometimes it can take 50 years. Now that the Supreme Court has stopped legislating abortion from the bench, the states have returned to debate and passed legislation on the abortion issue. Rights not enumerated in the Constitution have...

    Trump Guilty of Sexual Abuse.

    FYI: The verdict includes that Trump was not liable for raping Caroll. It is easy for Never Trumpers to overlook this, because they really only care that Trump pay and they don't much care how or why. The jury didn't believe that she was raped. Their verdict was unanimous.
