    Elective Disease

    People do all kinds of things which cause them to get sick and need to rely on others and yet they should still be treated. I do not think anything special should happen with them.

    U.S. Imposes Sweeping Human Rights Sanctions on China, Myanmar, and North Korea

    Perhaps it had a just cause but many US military actions (not the least of which were the nukes) were murderous terrorism during that war, so even then I would not say that we were good. Not to mention the racism involved even against certain US soldiers from Americans then. In my opinion at least.

    U.S. Imposes Sweeping Human Rights Sanctions on China, Myanmar, and North Korea

    Whenever the US tries to act like a moral force for good in the world I find it hilarious and stupid. The US (as a whole) has never been good, most likely never will be good, and just as it is unbecoming for a whore to speak of the virtues of chastity so it is for the US to speak against human...

    Vegetarian, good for the body 'and' the soul?

    I'm vegan so I'd say so, although the moral theology must be absolutely preserved in my opinion and it must be recognized that it is not intrinsically evil to either eat or kill animals even just for food. Veganism in Christianity takes a different form necessarily. We eat meat since the...

    Christianity, Shiva and Vishnu

    Had to read their Wikis a little bit. I'd say probably demons. As it says in Psalm 95 (LXX/Vulgate): "for all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens." They probably exist but not as any creator, preserver, destroyer, Brahman aspect or anything (since demons can not do...

    Why are people fighting

    Depends on the person. Just speaking of myself: religion is both something I practice and is a hobby for me. Often I will argue about it simply because I find that to be fun or hilarious (hobby side), so it isn't that serious. I switch back and forth between if I am seriously arguing because I...

    Short story about communism; Acts 4:32

    Communism is when God punishes liars, got it. One day you should make a political dictionary, it'd probably be entertaining.

    UPenn transgender swimmer continues dominant season with more record-breaking wins

    What makes you think that trans persons do not participate in said male sports? Who is "we" in "we don't see"? A bunch of Helen Kellers? This is a single instance Googling you can find many more: Schuyler Bailar - Wikipedia

    The Circumcision Scar as Memetic Prosthesis.

    A lot of things are understated in the Scriptures which have insane implications (like seemingly 90% of what St. Paul says), so this must be big. What do you think it means?

    Religious bias with laws and society, favored or unfavored

    I have no idea what that question means. What do you mean by "good" here?

    Federal proposal for 32-hour workweek gets traction in Congress

    It is not how I have seen it discussed by the brethren so I have assumed that the experience is like doing 6 days and 10 hours as I will to do, but it may not be the case. I'll see as I live.

    Federal proposal for 32-hour workweek gets traction in Congress

    Well that makes a lot more sense to me, thank you for explaining it thoroughly. What I do is like what I'd imagine taking drugs is like, "euphoric," "soothing," "steady," and "silent ritual" come to mind to describe it, not "stress." This also explains to me why I have seen so many people I...

    Federal proposal for 32-hour workweek gets traction in Congress

    No, and I doubt I ever will even if not successful. I have autism and can not be in an intensely social environment for more than 3 months without it becoming vicious due to my defects. If it's a solitary job maybe but even then I'd much rather remain in my class and labor under my own soul than...

    Federal proposal for 32-hour workweek gets traction in Congress

    Art and crochet (selling these things). It in my opinion is rather unfortunate to have both of these for your wrists begin to vanish over time with the latter and sometimes with the former, moreover it is sedentary which is like death.

    Federal proposal for 32-hour workweek gets traction in Congress

    That fixes matters for a person, as doing that to me is still working so you are not diminishing yourself in my opinion.

    Federal proposal for 32-hour workweek gets traction in Congress

    Not surprising, I have always in all circumstances of my life had to have things which seemed obvious to others broken down and spoonfed to me.

    Federal proposal for 32-hour workweek gets traction in Congress

    It is one of the things which fills my soul with joy and just makes me feel like I am a human being who actually is living. The theological reason for this I see in God giving Adam work even before the Fall, meaning that the self-exertion is in itself good. I consider it to be one of the natural...

    Religious bias with laws and society, favored or unfavored

    1) It (I am answering this from the perspective of one religion, not all, and my own specifically) does not have a privileged position in the law of my nation. I think that it should ideally, although actually doing that is likely not prudent currently. 2) It does not have privilege socially...

    UPenn transgender swimmer continues dominant season with more record-breaking wins

    They aren't all equal and I'd imagine that it'd become somewhat gender divided again between transmen and transwomen. The only solution I ever heard that could work would just be to divide all sports by performance and not gender indiscriminately. That has other problems so to me the most...

    Federal proposal for 32-hour workweek gets traction in Congress

    I don't think one should ignore those aspects of life, and in my opinion neither does God. That's why the the Church and the State and the culture give man a litany of holy days and celebration days on which to rest, spend time with family, etc, and of course people should exercise daily among...
