    Italian writer against women choosing the bear: hating men has become fashionable

    Post 749: In response to: Remember when you claimed you're listening, just disagreeing? Yeah, this is more evidence you're not listening. The entire point of the question is that women are so wary of men because of all those bad experiences they have with them. And: The fact that you still...

    Can an atheist believe in God?

    Nope. No goalposts moved by me. People believe in God because of religion. Nowhere in there does it imply that all religions promote belief in a theistic god. Try again. The theist tells the atheist what a god is. And then the atheist tells the theist it doesn't exist. *Sigh* Still not a god...

    JD Vance - A Gift To Biden

    Sure. I agree that Vance is clearly cynically vying for more power.

    Can an atheist believe in God?

    I've studied plenty. I'm obviously referring to religions that believe in God. I have no idea why you think it's relevant to bring up ones that don't. Yes, some religions don't have theistic gods. That isn't our concern here. Yup. You're going to have an incredibly tough time communicating with...

    JD Vance - A Gift To Biden

    I already told you I acknowledge my biases. We went over this. 1) 31 is a full adult. It's not like he was 16 or something. There really shouldn't be that much personal growth between 31 and 39 for most people. 2) Again, this was private, but he made a bunch of public comments to the same...

    JD Vance - A Gift To Biden

    No need to read minds. Sometimes coming to a different conclusion makes sense or is reasonable. In a case like this there's only one reasonable conclusion. There's nothing "not humble" about pointing out the obvious, that Vance flip-flopped in order to gain political power.

    I did.

    Can an atheist believe in God?

    Yes, religion is what teaches people to believe in God. Nope. A god is a very specific thing. You're going to have a really hard time trying to discuss god, if your definition is "anything that is venerated". Nope. Do some research. A god is not simply a human being. A god has to be much, much...

    Can an atheist believe in God?

    None of that changes that people believe in God because of religion. Pay attention. No, it's not. That would broaden the definition of "god" to the point of making it meaningless and useless. Nope. It also has to be an intelligent being that either created the universe or at least has vast...

    Italian writer against women choosing the bear: hating men has become fashionable

    You did, but I'm not surprised you're going back on it now. It was a big change from what you had been saying all along. This is a lot of different stuff here. 1) Most women are wary of men due to the bad experiences we've talked about. The level of wariness just varies. 2) Those who are very...

    Is MAGA-ism a Religion?

    That's the problem. It's the word of God, and yet it contradicts itself and makes God look like a truly horrifically bad entity, while teaching some terrible morality.

    Italian writer against women choosing the bear: hating men has become fashionable

    Then you're wrong, and you're now flip-flopping. You agreed that women choose the bear because they're wary of men due to all the negative interactions they have with them. Now, you're going back on that. Yet again, you're not listening and missing the point. Congrats. No, I didn't...

    How Odd Is Putin's Russia?

    1) NATO didn't go on an "expansion drive". Ukraine wanted to join NATO. This only proves them right for wanting that. 2) The aggressive move was Russia instigating the war and then invading.

    Why Do You Reject Jesus?

    There is no assumption or willful blindness, sorry. Indoctrination is not necessary to be human. It would be easier to use concrete terms instead of these attempts at poetic ones that make communication more difficult. Yes, that is all there is to the world. Maybe, but then it would depend on...

    Italian writer against women choosing the bear: hating men has become fashionable

    You originally said women who choose the bear are bigoted against men, rather than just being wary of men due to all the negative interactions. In the course of explaining that idea, we talked about when those experiences start for women (often around 10-12) and how often they occur. Recently...

    Italian writer against women choosing the bear: hating men has become fashionable

    That's close enough to what I said. You're welcome to object, but you'll be wrong. And that only reinforces the point I've been making. You stopped objecting to the actual point and started agreeing with us. But instead of just leaving it at that, you're trying to nitpick to still have...

    OK, but this is still a very clear case of switching your views in a cynical attempt to gain political power.

    Is MAGA-ism a Religion?

    The difference is when we study history, it's not part of a sacred text that is supposed to guide our spiritual journey and inform our views of morality. The point about ignoring some horrifying stories in the Bible is that the Bible is meant to be the infallible word of God, and the stories...

    How Odd Is Putin's Russia?

    But the views you state are heavily biased against NATO and for Russia. It's not so much an independent thinking situation as a buying into anti-NATO, pro-Russian narratives.
