    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    What empiricists believe is that until we have evidence of something more than nature existing - some detectable effect in nature that speculations about unseen realities are needed to account for, the ideas are sterile. They can't be used to predict or explain anything. It's not that we say...

    Women: What happens in the voting booth, stays in the voting booth

    Yes it is. 22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    You didn't ask me, but I'd like to answer. Maybe you meant delusions. I also don't believe Paul, but his claim was of a vision, so unless the claim was known to be untrue when it was made, in which case it was a lie, the word hallucination pertains in his case. I don't need to know that they...

    When a sitting president essentially states that half the country is "garbage".

    All you people do is project (I see that @SkepticThinker beat me to it again. Also, @Subduction Zone). Those are Trump's words about anybody who disagrees with HIM - "the enemy within." And it's MAGA with the hive mentality. Look at all of the spineless Republicans who initially condemned Trump...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    You're simply saying that you don't consider the words attributed to Paul to be reliable. If they agree with Jesus, you think he's correct. If they disagree with Jesus, you think they're incorrect. Paths constrain and guide our choices to guarantee arriving at the desired destination. A path to...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    That's a leap of reason. People with unjustified beliefs are extremely unlikely to be correct. They're guessing, and there are many more ways to guess wrong than correctly. I don't say that. Is say that nature is all that we can and have ever experienced, and that therefore it is all that we...

    When a sitting president essentially states that half the country is "garbage".

    I agree with Biden when he says that the garbage out there is Trump supporters. He told you what he thinks of MAGA. He respects decent America. I guess you didn't like that, and I guess that I understand why.

    So Many Republicans & Conservatives Voting For Harris

    No argument. Trump called her birdbrain, so he likely agrees with you, and we know how much his endorsement is coveted these days. Like a multitude of other Republicans, she called Trump unfit (others used words like Hitlerian, despicable, and more) and then endorsed his candidacy. Democrats...

    New York Times endorses Harris as ‘the only choice’ for president

    No. Would you protect a fern? It's alive. How about a chicken? It's animal life. How about Putin. He's human life. Are you kidding? Rhetorical question. I know that you're not. I didn't say that. You wrote that they couldn't make any decisions free from the government and I disagreed. You...

    New York Times endorses Harris as ‘the only choice’ for president

    Yes, I know. The difference is that I would like people who disagree with you to be able to live according to their own consciouses as women who would never choose abortion are free to do, whereas you want them to live as you would force them to. OK, but that doesn't matter to me or to a...

    New York Times endorses Harris as ‘the only choice’ for president

    OK. I'd prefer that it were 100%, that is, that there were no pregnancies due to rape or incest. Wouldn't you? They're fetuses or earlier, not children. Legal abortion isn't murder. You really like the emotional appeal and tugging at the old heartstrings approach, don't you, but that's not...

    30,000 feet of water?????

    I understand that a god belief is comforting for many. I also understand that many have no need for that kind of comforting and so find no comfort there. I would add that with the lack of god belief, one develops an acceptance that personal consciousness may end with death, there might be no...

    New York Times endorses Harris as ‘the only choice’ for president

    They do, but they don't need to define it for you. What you want is to monitor their decisions. You don't require physicians to specify the health risks with diabetes or alcohol consumption because you understand that those are of interest to physicians and their patients, but not to you. You...

    New York Times endorses Harris as ‘the only choice’ for president

    As you imply, Trump has no platform apart from imposing tariffs, which is likely at the behest of large American manufacturing concerns, who benefit by being able to raise their prices, this not his idea. If a foreign car is $50,000 and a competitive American car sells for $45,000, if the price...

    New York Times endorses Harris as ‘the only choice’ for president

    That decision could well have been motivated by Trump's racist tirade at MSG. Not much has moved the needle for a few weeks, but that high-profile rally might actually be something that affects the outcome of the election favorably for Harris. Was this our October surprise? And if so, who...

    Trump has a degree in economics, but does he have a Nobel Prize?

    I don't think he'd disagree that he supports any law the allows his religion to dictate the rules of society. He supports Trump because he hopes that Trump will continue to promote theocracy given both Trump's and his own disinterest in the Constitution or Americanism wherever it attempts to...

    What are the best and worst things about heaven?

    Hey HJ I was referring to his followers and their failure to learn his lesson according to you. That's a different topic. These JWs were speaking to me. They told me how bad the world is, I told them that my life was good, and they left. It seemed like they expected me to be ungrateful for...

    Trump Voter Assaults Elderly Poll Worker in Texas

    That's not the boast you might think. Within the confines of the law, we can choose our own rules. None need be silly, but that's an option. On the other hand, if we choose wisely, we develop a set of guiding principles to live by. You don't seem to have a coherent worldview. Also not the...

    What are the best and worst things about heaven?

    As Twain said, "Heaven for the climate, hell for the company." Believers never ask why so many angels rebelled in heaven after having a first-hand look at it. It certainly wasn't anything they wanted. And what souls wouldn't, given infinite time, eventually want to leave as well? Believers...
