    Suspect charged with hate crime for destroying Satanic Temple display at Iowa Capitol

    So again…. How does the fact of some idiot destroying a display on church property, lead to allowing religious displays on government property? Especially since, as you concede, it “is not in any way involved with lawmaking.” What business does it have in being in a government building? A...

    Use of words

    The words being “used wrongly” in your example are in fact the common usage of those words. Adding the adjectives “good” or “pleasing” doesn’t change their meaning it merely clarifies them. Perhaps it might be necessary if it was not clear by the context and might be reasonably construed...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Oh, let’s be serious…. How could the one true god, or the genuine messenger of that one true god, who was in fact the same messengers as before, possibly know that! :shrug: After all they were in fact the same messengers as before….just rebooted with a new message for the present age since the...

    A question for all religious believers -- why is your religion more true than any other?

    He specified that he doesn’t hold a religious belief. (i.e. is not convinced of any of them) The question is for those that are convinced in a particular religion….. Why are they convinced (believe) in the religion they have adopted, and not convinced (do not believe) in those they have not...

    Suspect charged with hate crime for destroying Satanic Temple display at Iowa Capitol

    Yes, supporting freedom of religion by enforcing hate crimes for those who vandalize religious displays is appropriate for government to do; I fully agree. Allowing places of worship to have displays on their property….100% agree. Prosecuting someone who vandalizes it… 100% agree. I’m not...

    Suspect charged with hate crime for destroying Satanic Temple display at Iowa Capitol

    So you recognized this as a hate crime….yes? I’m not seeing this connection. Someone destroys religious iconography on private property, which understandably you see as upsetting….. As result, in your opinion, the separation of church and state somehow becomes invalid? Can you explain your...

    If You Are in Your Mid-50s or Older, What Health Advice Would You Have for Someone in Their 20s or 30s?

    You seem to acknowledge that heredity plays an important role in health and longevity. This is insightful, since it may well be the dominant factor. So the question is how to best play the hand you’re dealt?…… There is no need to “replace professional advice”, but simply follow it. That...

    Electoral College should be abolished. And here's why...

    I would agree that the Electoral College system of electing the President is, in today’s age, a failed system that ensures unequal vote representation among individual votes in different states, and has the practical affect of rendering the election outcome to a handful of states. Regardless of...

    Suspect charged with hate crime for destroying Satanic Temple display at Iowa Capitol

    It’s not the victim but rather the motivations of the perpetrator of crime that determines the designation of a hate crime. Are you suggesting that the perpetrator destroyed the display because he was opposed to the message the Satanic Temple was demonstrating by playing into their hands and...

    Suspect charged with hate crime for destroying Satanic Temple display at Iowa Capitol

    I agree. “Genuine religious organizations” are taking advantage of their privileged position within the society to impose the presence of their religion, with an implication of acceptance by the government, upon the public at large. They’ve been getting away with it uncontested for so long...

    Suspect charged with hate crime for destroying Satanic Temple display at Iowa Capitol

    The equivalency here of this qualifying as a hate crime is not so much about historicity or “genuine religious practice” concerning the object that was defaced, but rather the motivation of the perpetrator. It’s based on the hate of the perpetrator who perceived the object as an affront to his...

    Defining GOD

    Do you imagine this god to have agency and will? And if so; do you believe this god applies its will through that agency in any way that is discernible on any physical matter?

    A question for all religious believers -- why is your religion more true than any other?

    Do you believe all worldviews comport with reality equally? Or independently of a person who may believe them?

    I'm Voting Libertarian This Year

    Depending on where you live, and done consistently, that my be a viable option with little consequences. In a presidential election in Michigan between Trump and Biden……not so much.
