  1. It Aint Necessarily So

    Why isnt Harris president right now? Biden is completely cooked in the brain. We have no real president.

    How would you know? How would things look with and without Biden being in control that allows you to make such a judgment? Even though I disagree with your assessment, it doesn't matter who's calling the shots if the ship of state is sailing smoothly. Unlike Trump as president, Biden is...

    Trump is losing the debate acting like a raving lunatic

    No more than you flipped on what state to live in. People change their minds. When she does it, you call it flip-flopping as if it were some character flaw. I doubt you use such language to describe yourself. We know that it's physically possible to eat a cat, which is why we KNOW that you...

    What is "woke" in 2024

    I just don't see why you care about any of that, because I don't. I'd just give them what they want, because why not? Why wouldn't I? I say would because my life doesn't intersect with this issue or with affected people. I wish it did. I have gay male and gay female acquaintances, but none that...

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    I guess that post of mine immediately above your reply to it triggered you again. Something about that kind of thinking irritates you. Were you personally offended that I won't go where you and many others go? Are you offended that I have no interest in guessing about gods or embracing...

    Trump is losing the debate acting like a raving lunatic

    The theme of this thread recently has been how unfair the media are to Trump, but the fact is that they give him a pass on his demented rambling, although that is just starting to change a bit. Still, what media have called for Trump to drop out of the race? Before Biden did, the media spent...

    Trump is losing the debate acting like a raving lunatic

    Typical Trump confused, chaotic inane rambling. It's fun to submit to AI Here's how Copilot rewrote that: "Firstly, she is incapable of conducting an interview. She would be unable to handle this interview because it requires specific answers. Instead, she digresses to topics like her...

    What is "woke" in 2024

    OK. I don't generally ask anybody what they mean by woke. If the context reveals that it's a conservative poster, especially American, then I assume what it intends to do is demean empathic people by those working to maintain white, male, Christian privilege in the hope to silence or undermine...

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    Then you've misunderstood me. I don't reject the possibility of a spirit world. What I reject is the claims of others that they have experienced a spirit world. I don't say that they haven't, just that it's not a belief I hold due to lack of sufficient evidence that they're correct. It seems...

    What is "woke" in 2024

    The word woke, while initially a constructive term of self-identity, has been made into a derogatory term said by the far right (that term isn't sufficient to describe the spectrum to the right of moderate right, but it's the one you offered in your OP) about others in opposition to...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    It is you who is wrong. Obviously. Learn the various meanings of faith and how empiricism works and get back to me. I'll be happy to correct any other errors you might make at that time.

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    Evidence for believers or evidence for the critically thinking empiricists? The interpretations of those experiences by believers are not evidence that they are correct. Speculation is good enough for you to believe otherwise, but appears to be grounds for you to reject ideas from others...

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    I assume that you are referring to my reference to you misunderstanding your psychological experiences. I'm not trying to discredit you. I just don't believe you. I don't trust your interpretation of your mental states which you describe as experiencing some aspect of external reality but which...

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    For me, it refers to that which can be used to effect desired outcomes, such as a recipe or a labor-saving device. I had written, "Seeking comfort drives behavior. We run from the rain and bask in the sun. When thirsty, we drink. When bored, we seek stimulation" How is seeking comfort useful...

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    I didn't see a plan or practical requirements. I saw goals and barriers to achieving them. @9-10ths_Penguin summarized in bullet points your stated summary of the goals in your OP, which you called a plan, but which contains no answers: 1. Settle all international boundary disputes. 2. Empower...

    We've all insulted people unintentionally, but when that happens, decent people are generally solicitous, apologetic, and remorseful. They say things like, "I'm terribly sorry if I offended you. It wasn't my purpose." When I suggested that your words to the other poster were insulting, your...

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    It seems that what you have there is a concept of a plan, not an actual plan, and not a clear concept, either. What you call unity is an unrealistic goal. The best we can hope for is mutual tolerance and the absence of war, terrorism, human trafficking, drug trafficking, the absence if gun...

    What the New Testament says about God is true

    Yes, Christianity is a spinoff of Judaism, followed by Islam then Baha'ism. We could say that Judaism was Happy Days, Christianity Laverne and Shirley, Islam Mork and Mindy, and Baha'ism would then be Joannie loves Chachi.

    You don't see how your comment is offensive and demeaning? The man made a joke and you turned it into something it wasn't, that he was doing something he didn't have a right to do, and implied that his life must be boring to do what he chooses to do here. Prissy? More personal insult. Your...

    Trump Has Found Another Scapegoat If He Loses

    I think that she's become an anti-American, anti-democratic MAGA conservative now. Maybe she always was. I don't know much about her other than that she is a political opportunist seeking attention and relevance. You can start with Trump and (speaking of political opportunists who have turned...

    More insults. More atheophobia. He's kidding, but you still give a hostile comment and turn this into something ugly and confrontational. Maybe it's you that needs to get a life. I guess it's considered OK to insult atheists but there is hell to pay if a theist is insulted or even perceives...
