    Live Brexit Deal Debate

    Yeah, that's what I was saying. Just because the popular vote was for leave doesn't mean the representatives wanted to leave and that leaving would happen.

    Live Brexit Deal Debate

    I think you answered your own question there. Popular votes don't always matter. By the same logic if "we" Americans agreed to Clinton then she'd be the president, one would think... Sorry, but this to me sounds like saying that since Trump is president, Clinton could not have won the...

    Anger in Belief Systems

    Why is self-preservation necessary for enlightenment?? Why is life necessary for enlightenment?? How can one attain enlightenment if some semblance of self is preserved??

    Militant Atheism: Religion Or Political Affiliation?

    Based on this comment and the later comment you make of "What does such a display demonstrate in a state building to anyone outside of that belief system?" it seems like you are making an incorrect assumption of my religious alignment. Ya might want to pay a bit more attention!! :p And there...

    Jesus genes

    I find this coming up often and I find it hilarious. The idea that we accept the premise of immaculate conception, thus that God miraculously impregnated a woman, and yet we question how the genetics of a man with only a mother should work. If we're accepting the premise that God can and did...

    Help Me Interpret A Very Vivid Dream I Once Had!

    If that makes sense to you, that's probably the case, since dreaming symbolism is built of symbols your mind already associates with concepts and then reflects back at you. So if it seems like it is symbolic of life to you, that is probably the meaning of the symbol, since ultimately it was you...

    Help Me Interpret A Very Vivid Dream I Once Had!

    Dream symbolism is a tricky thing, because it varies person-to-person along with the person's own symbolic understanding and personality. The people selling dream interpretation books that propose static meaning onto symbols are largely selling snake oil. So lacking understanding of your own...

    Forgivness

    Yes, why would I want to give someone who has wronged me control over me and my mind??

    Where's the Separation of Religion and State?

    Man, that's 'cause it's a Christmas tree. That's just what it's called. I as a non-Christian don't care if the name has religious origins just as I'll still use the term "Yuletide" even though that has religious origins within paganism as well. "Holiday tree" is a stupid frickin' name. And how...

    Militant Atheism: Religion Or Political Affiliation?

    I suspect that it's just people who don't like the holidays in general and want any excuse to remove even secular Christmas decorations. Nevermind all of us non-Christians who decorate and like the general Yuletide aesthetics. The pretext of them speaking on behalf of all us non-Christians and...

    Where's the Separation of Religion and State?

    How is it "Christian branding" when I have a tree?? How is it "Christian branding" when Japanese atheists have trees?? It's just a seasonal and cultural decoration that transcends religion at this point in time. It was once associated with pagan beliefs, and then it was no longer. It was once...

    Where's the Separation of Religion and State?

    Yeah, they've clearly evolved into being more of a general cultural relic rather than purely a religious one. I've got one. They're popular in highly-atheistic Japan. Christmas trees on public land should be fine. They're more of a staple of American culture than they are of specifically...

    Where's the Separation of Religion and State?

    Look at this horrendous rule-breaker!! A hat indoors!! They'd never allow a Christian to get away with such an exception to a law no one really knew or cared about for a hundred years!!

    Why Aren't you a Libertarian?

    Because don't tell me what to call myself, you collectivist!! :p

    Where's the Separation of Religion and State?

    Because it fundamentally matters. If it's just some person wearing something they own into a government building, I don't care. If you want a cross to be erected at a government building, that's my tax dollars going into that. So then I care because that would be the government taking money...

    Where's the Separation of Religion and State?

    By "Accommodating Christians symbol's on Government buildings" do you mean, say, putting a cross on a government building, or do you mean allowing Christian politicians to wear crucifixes in a government building?? Because one of those things is equivalent to the above, and one is not, and your...

    Dark Force or Flat Earth?!

    Nah, I'd rather ask God. He seems more humble and pleasant to ask. No worries, if He does serve you as you claim, well then He'll give me the same answer you would, right??

    Its finally happend.. CRISPR gene editing in humans.

    Ummmm, why would they?? Doesn't gene editing solve the problem of passing on "defective" genes?? :p Just replace 'em with some normal ones and there ya go.

    Dark Force or Flat Earth?!

    If God's the one holding the copyright, can I just get His permission instead of yours??

    The Illusion of Separateness

    Is there separateness between the concepts of one and many??
