    South Dakota governor vetoes anti-transgender bathroom bill.

    I'm not talking about feeling threatened, I'm talking about feeling uncomfortable. Not because of sexuality, but because you're uncomfortable doing your business with people who don't have the same plumbing as you. Because they don't understand you like your own sex understands you. Like I said...

    South Dakota governor vetoes anti-transgender bathroom bill.

    Mm.. I don't think it's about demeanor or appearance, It's simply just being uncomfortable using the restroom and being vulnerable whilst doing it around the opposite sex. So yes, I suppose in a way it is about what anatomy they may or may not have. I feel more comfortable with people who have...

    Do you support the death penalty?

    Why does it always have to be either or? I'm fine with or without the death penalty. Although they really need to make it more cost effective.

    Should Religion ever motivate a person to be cruel?

    Cruelty is, like most things, relative. I know in this thread you've suggested that there's a universal idea of what is cruel, But I disagree. For example there is a parenting method in which you let your baby cry instead of attending them. Some people would consider it cruel, others would...

    Looking for Dark Fiction

    I suppose I'd recommend Worm, the web serial and Pact the web serial by the same author. Both have a dark atmosphere, Pact moreso. Worm is mostly morality/Anti-hero stuff, but it's really well done and even though it starts off a bit slow and typical it really grows on you. For Dark Fantasy...

    Does Your Religion Have Dietary Requirements?

    Fair enough. Personally though I wouldn't let it lie, I'd specifically want to know why since it's not scriptural. And if I were going to let someone tell me what I'm allowed and not allowed, then I'd expect a thorough explanation. But that's just me.

    Does Your Religion Have Dietary Requirements?

    But.. caffeine is practically coffee... In fact I'm pretty sure the amount of caffeine in diet coke is as much as a cup of tea. I'm not sure I understand the rationale of those dietary restrictions.

    Question from a friendly atheist to faithful Christians, Muslims and Jews:

    Yes. But I'm not obliged to any specific understanding or interpretation of His words, Or even acknowledgement that they are all His words.

    Am I Christian or Not?

    Some people will consider you a Christian, others will likely think you're a heretic and some will think you're not good enough of a Christian to call yourself one. Everyone has different standards, so it really all depends on what you think of yourself. Your relationship with God, your heart...

    Incest among other kinds of sex.

    I don't approve of it, and I think it's a terrible idea because of the problems incest causes in their offspring but I don't feel like I have a right to dictate what consenting adults should do with their bodies and their lives. Morally, it's icky, but whatever floats your boat. And no, I...

    Question from a friendly atheist to faithful Christians, Muslims and Jews:

    I don't take it literally, God isn't the kind of being I'd apply my perception of time to anyway. That's just a number, and not one that's proven. That's Jewish Law. You'd have to provide scripture for me to properly address that. That's Anti-Christian nonsense. The verse reads that the...

    Question from a friendly atheist to faithful Christians, Muslims and Jews:

    I take what is literal as literal and what is allegorical as allegorical. 'Course everyone says that. But I try and use my best judgement, and I think that's all thats expected. I don't assume that I'm right about everything though.

    Question from a friendly atheist to faithful Christians, Muslims and Jews:

    I'm Christian. Non-denom just means I don't subscribe to any denomination. So no specific doctrine/teachings, I just take the bible as is and everything else is optional.

    Question from a friendly atheist to faithful Christians, Muslims and Jews:

    Not really... But I'm non-denom, So I'm not obliged to any doctrine.

    Opinions about Saudi people.

    It's their decision. I like to think of it like people think of the lottery, as a stupid tax. I'm not going to pity people who choose not to think for themselves. Because we can't do anything about them. I have no more say over what happens in Saudi Arabia than I do with what happens in...

    Opinions about Saudi people.

    Because no one forces us to buy the new model phones. I still have a $50 pre-paid mobile I bought years ago, and it's brilliant. I've never owned and never intend to own a smartphone/Iphone. Why would anyone protest commercials? That in itself is against freedom of speech. And no, I don't...

    Opinions about Saudi people.

    I see plenty of Westerners protesting these things, Nike would be a good example. Our sins are that we demand, but it is their own corrupt governments who supply that demand with oppression. And you can't have it both ways, Either you want us to stay out of other countries business or you want...

    Opinions about Saudi people.

    All western societies have been exactly where the middle eastern ones are now. We progressed because people fought for it, even under threat of death, they fought. And we didn't have things like the internet and mobiles to make it easier, But we still got it done. It all comes down to wanting...
