    Most hated nations

    1. Nation A and Nation B are the top hated nations in the world. 2. A is hated because it has written Holy Bible. 3. B is hated, because it has defended A from Hitler, and defends Eastern Orthodox Church.

    Mickey vs. Donald 2024?

    If you had only these two choices, then who would you vote for in the next Presidential election? Mickey Mouse? or the Donald? Of course, you could always throw your vote away by voting for a third party, like Goofy.

    Politics and religion, interaction in individuals

    Religions often seem to get named with certain political views, like Christians in America with republicanism How did if it did your religion change your political ideas? Did you associate with new things because of it? Please explain it :)

    Socrates Must Die: the political history behind Socmas.

    Another banger of a video filled with primary sources on the history of Socrates by one of my favorite YouTubers and individuals of all time. Topics covered/touched on: - Why Socrates was killed. - Why his spiritual sons and associates were persecuted. - What their revolution and beliefs at...

    The right to freedom of speech: What it is and isn't

    I came across this article by Ben Shapiro (I know...) entitled "America's silent majority must fight liberals killing freedom of speech." Granted, it's Ben Shapiro so he may be intentionally misleading people since I'm sure he's aware of basic Constitutional law, but he exploits a common...

    4 July Vs UN

    Are UN membership and US constitutional absolute independence (truly and sincerely speaking) compatible?

    Political Neutrality Please! (I mean my brothers and sisters)

    Christianity better be neutral on politics. Jesus wasn’t a politician either, I think. Christians should focus on evangelizing and doing social work (or both), as I see it. Politics, as I see, is a distraction. Christians should focus of what they are good at. Especially after Donald Trump...

    Can religion exist separately from politics?

    It seems to me that a lot about religion concerns society as a whole: Organizing as a community, choosing who belongs and who does not; who prays when, and with whom; how men and women are supposed to act at home, or in public; how to raise a child, and what to teach it. Telling people what...

    How Much of an Authoritarian Are You?

    Everyone submits to authority to some degree, we all listen to authorities (be they parents, teachers, officials, police etc.) but some people take it further and submit to authority even when that authority is dishonest, corrupt, or otherwise pursueing its own self interests at the expense of...

    When would you NOT vote for Trump?

    Dear US Conservatives, I'm interested in talking with you about a hypothetical scenario or thought exercise. Imagine that it's election day for the US Presidential Elections. Imagine further that one of the candidates on the ballot is Mr. Donald J. Trump. And then imagine that you are not...

    Josiah and the Theocrats

    Hi, everyone! I'd like to offer my take on a country that had split from its parent country, assumed it was morally superior, and yet didn't last long due to greed and racism. No, it's not about the Confederate States of America, but it's close! It's about King Josiah and his attempts to...

    What is the American police trying to achieve?

    As far as I can tell, they are still continueing to use violence against peaceful protesters, to the point where some cops have said they're "tired" or "exhausted". What does the police think it can gain politically from these methods? What do you think are their goals here?

    What does China want from Africa?

    For years, China has invested billions in Africa, especially in Nigeria and Ethiopia. And I ask myself why? As I have read, this is really a win-win for both sides. China invests in development and therefore they get part of Africa's natural resources for it. But is that really the only reason...

    How many people here live outside the left-right paradigm?

    I am a moderate, almost a libertarian, but I believe in some social programs. I am wondering how many people here are either moderate, minarchist, or anarchist, rejecting liberal and conservative collectivist (in my opinion) thought. Anyone is welcome in this discussion.

    Nationalism and religion

    What does your faith or worldview have to say about nationalism? Should religion have anything to do with the concept of sovereign nations in the first place and if so what are the limits? We all live in countries and to some extent have a national identity. We could take pride in our country...

    How variety of Gods is reflected in Politics?

    All variety of Gods are reducible to just two: God of Truth and idol of atheism, therefore there are two alternative Sciences (Young Earth Creation Science and Darwinism), two alternative morals [historically the left and right politician wings before the right wing got mixed with left ideology...

    Defining Racism

    So, I'm starting this thread because I'm curious about how feminists define racism. They use racism as defined, very basically as "prejudice plus power". There's obviously more to this, but if you're at all into this kind of stuff, you know what I'm talking about. Now, what I'm curious about...

    Ukrainian authorities accuse the victim of religious hatred

    On January 11, 2018 an announcement under the headline “Law enforcers began to investigate the facts of deliberate acts committed by certain representatives of the UOC-MP and the “Orthodox Union Radomir” aimed at inciting ethnic, religious hatred and enmity, as well as insulting citizens’...

    Suicide: Why do Conservatives Reject Euthanasia?

    Something that has been bugging me as of lately is this constant rejection amongst conservatives of suicide which I just do not understand at all. Many conservatives push against not just suicide but the movement to have assisted suicide a federally protected practice. Many of them compare it to...
