    Debate about Christianity (Looking for someone to argue against it)

    Agnostic atheist here. I don't think I can help you as I have no questions about your faith and there is nothing about it that I want or need you to defend. Maybe you have some questions about atheistic humanism, my worldview. Are you taught why and how that worldview differs from yours in...

    Polling and 2024 US Election

    I didn't see that. Nor do I believe that nobody engaged your reasoning. You weren't specific what you meant by "most of what I got back was hate," but I doubt that the "hate" you described was directed at you, so I assume that you mean derogatory remarks about Trump. I notice you disregarded...

    Polling and 2024 US Election

    Like so many others, you seem to think that hatred for Trump is unjustified and inappropriate. Many think that praising or even condoning Trump is the immoral act. Trump is a career criminal, now a convicted felon, a sexual predator, a pathological liar, vengeful, and as anti-American as one can...

    Trump is losing the debate acting like a raving lunatic

    I think that was @Subduction Zone's point, not mine. But he did miss the point at post 1349, in which he wrote, "TL;DR" about the OP, which was almost exclusively Trump's 406-word rambling word salad, and about which he rewrote a few bullet points without acknowledging that the Trump reply was...

    Louisiana pastor and former ‘Survivor’ contestant taped kids’ mouths shut, blames ‘cancel culture’ for prosecution

    It doesn't. It deflects from discussing the crimes of a conservative Christian, which hasn't been discussed since she did that in post 2. Let's see if we can get this train back on the rails: I'm not clear on how taping a child's mouth makes him or her go limp if they can still breath through...

    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    Believers can do neither. Nor have they any incentive to falsify their faith-based beliefs. God beliefs aren't acquired using evidence and can't be modified by evidence. That's the nature of faith. Faith is belief divorced from evidence. Nor does it become real just because one wants it to be...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    I think that I should be an empiricist. I don't mind if you're not. In your mind, perhaps, but not in mine. I'm acutely aware of the difference. Yes, if it were clear that that was a god. Everything I see is evidence.

    Polling and 2024 US Election

    Remember, Biden trounced Trump in 2020 by over 8 million votes, and the following have occurred SINCE then: Trump won't have the incumbent advantage this time. Trump will be running against an incumbent. He's orchestrated and been indicted for an insurrection and other illegal attempts to steal...

    Trump Plans Mars Colony With Musk

    Most Religions Believe In An Afterlife

    Yes. He's a critical thinker. If you have your own argument that begins with the same evidence but comes to a different conclusion about it and which you accept as justification of your conclusion, it means that the reasoning of at least one you is fallacious. He uses the academic standards...

    Trump Plans Mars Colony With Musk

    I've stopped listening to Trump. He speaks ex culo. He makes promises he doesn't need to keep to do things he doesn't know how to do hoping to deceive somebody to vote for him because of it. "We want to reach Mars by the end of my term," Trump promised his supporters in the Tar Heel state. You...

    How will Trump accomplish a miracle? A question for Trump supporters.

    Trump doesn't need to have any plan to make claims like that. He may believe he can do something for women by willing it, but it's not like him to do anything for anybody else unless there's something that's in it for him, and this is a promise he understand that he doesn't need to keep, so he...

    Trump is losing the debate acting like a raving lunatic

    Is it really flip-flopping or something else? A flip-flopper is generally someone who has a clear position followed by a second and different clear position. This seems more akin to gaslighting: "I never said that Haitians eat cats in Springfield. I just said that they eat cats and dared you to...

    Hatred as a political strategy

    The OP was about hatred as a consuming addiction, not about MAGA hatred specifically, which was offered as an example. That was stated explicitly in the OP. By post three, the thread was derailed by a whataboutism deflection bringing contention to the thread. The thread hasn't been about hatred...

    made a website about my beliefs - would love some feedback

    I'd have been happy to read your five chapters, but I couldn't find them after clicking on Videos and Discord. In fact, I couldn't pass the are-you-human test in Discord the first try. On a second try, I did, but then it wanted my birthday, which I provided begrudgingly, and then it wanted my...

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    More verbiage from you that indicates that you didn't understand what you read. You seem to slip into this simplistic and condescending mode whenever challenged by a post you don't understand or one that intimidates you. I'm not sure which pertains here. Same comment to you. Your comment is...

    What is "woke" in 2024

    Is that you telling me that your opinions on how the "woke" think don't come from person experience of such people? If so, why do you consider those opinions correct? What about your experience in this thread and elsewhere on RF? Are you seeing lot of liberals doing the things you enumerated as...

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    Nothing can. Nor do we need that information to live life (informal science) or do formal science. Nor could we use that information were it available. But perhaps we're not referring to the same thing. For me, the metaphysical refers to that which lies outside of experience and serves as...

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    At all times, the scientific position is the most parsimonious one that accounts for all of the relevant evidence, which is always tentative and subject to revision when new evidence requires that. So which scientific innovations do you distrust? Probably vaccines, but if so, it wouldn't be...

    What is "woke" in 2024

    I'm not clear on what you mean by far or radical left. If you mean people who hold the views you enumerated, then in my experience, that's very few people. I don't think one can be more liberal than I am. I am what you would call woke. I fully champion egalitarianism and the right for all...
