    Man Self-Immolates In Front of SCOTUS to Bring Attention to Climate Change

    It is a self-destructive act worth considering for a Darwin award to immolate oneself in protest of Climate Change.

    There is a Supreme Court order banning soccer on the Temple Mount. Soccer ball confiscated on Temple Mount

    Arab rioters playing soccer in Al-Aqsa

    Of course, we all know what would happen, if they tried to pass a ball back and forth outside.

    A new law from Mike Godwin (yes, that Godwin)

    I notice that he neglected to include a statistic for people who use the word ****head (as a pejorative).

    Elon Musk $43 Billon Hostile Bid To Takeover Over Twitter

    I think that it was only a matter of time. The pursuit of censorship and subservience to an inscrutable "algorithm" was doomed from the beginning. Elon Musk is simply prescient enough to realize it. It's really interesting to watch this unfold: with Elon Musk championing the cause of free...

    Faith is Dangerous

    Perhaps, faith that God will fulfill selfish desires is misplaced faith. This is different from having faith that God will be as God is. However, believing in a bright future can also be the first step towards fulfilling that bright future, if you hold to that ideal. The key here is that faith...

    Faith is Dangerous

    I feel like, to explain a joke is for it to lose its humor. But considering that some people today have faith and other people today do not have faith, and some people may not have faith and will attain it, while other people have faith and will lose it... it suggests, to me, that, as humankind...

    Russia losing the war.

    If Putin controlled the area, then he wouldn't need to lay waste to it. Perhaps Putin and most everyone should realize that Putin has nothing to lose by simply withdrawing from Ukraine and respecting Ukraine's sovereignty and that, if he does so, it will bring an end to the human carnage in...

    Some Important Facts for the Religious (and Everybody Else)

    Sorry, I still don't understand. An example of one religion's core dogma is The Ten Commandments - none of which you listed and none of which are contradicted by your list of claims. Can you provide an example of a religion that holds or not holds your list of statements from the OP as their...

    Oh Free-Will. Where art Thou???

    Thank you. As far as I know, both Nature and Nuture are used to attempt to describe means by which human actions are determined. It seems to me that compatibilists still have to explain how Nature and Nurture are compatible with Free Will in order to have a complete argument.

    Russia losing the war.

    You didn't propose a peace settlement acceptable to both Russia and Ukraine. I seriously doubt Putin will be content with any outcome in Ukraine, but it is nonetheless up to Putin to decide to continue to walk this path of self-destruction, misery, and futile embarassment or not. It's...

    Oh Free-Will. Where art Thou???

    will: the faculty by which a person decides on and initiates action. free will: the faculty by which a person decides on an initiates action is not under the control of another. determinism: events, including human action, are determined by causes external to the will. The Problem: if...

    Some Important Facts for the Religious (and Everybody Else)

    Let me see if I understand your argument: Some religious people make false claims. Therefore, religion is simply wrong. Hmm. Some scientific people make false claims. Does this imply that science is simply wrong?

    Would You Retaliate?

    If someone is nuking people, then the horrific implications of nuclear war are happening. You can't not start nuclear war by not retaliating when there is already nuclear war. But the people of your nation are dying and will continue to die the longer such a nuclear assault goes unchecked...

    Would You Retaliate?

    That would be a sort of computer way to look at it - to just treat people like numbers. But there's another way to look at it that examines people as people and not as numbers. People exist in relationship to other people. No man is an island. A president represents the people of his nation...

    Why America can't really win a nuclear war with Russia

    The Russian threat of nukes is not confined to actions of NATO, but even if that's the case, Russia's threat to use nukes is still unjustified.

    Why America can't really win a nuclear war with Russia

    Actually, they stepped up their threat to use nuclear weapons by suggesting that the current situation may constitute an existential threat to Russia that would justify their use, but it is interesting that you read it that way.

    Would You Retaliate?

    As the President, I would likely feel morally and ethically obligated to retaliate because I would be the primary person chosen by my nation with the greatest responsibility in this exact regard to protect the people and uphold their values. I should not allow my people to be slain without...

    Why America can't really win a nuclear war with Russia

    Putin has already threatened nuclear war in deterrence of non-nuclear actions.

    What Europeans think about this War

    Since there is a war currently going on (in the Ukraine), do you admit that you have also failed and lost your civility?
