Why is it so popular for Norwegians to beat their wives?
It is popular for Norwegians to beat their wifes? Where have you heard that? I'm Norwegian, i did not know that was popular?

In Norway it is illigal to beat your wife.

@Lars,

I would love to participate in one of your threads. I'm patiently waiting for one to which I can parse something meaningful I can reply to.
Fine! No Ritual of Queerification for you! You go to Heaven and get none of this fabulous, fun party of a merger with the gay demon! Or was it the bi demon for you? Too many to keep track of, but between us that bi demon is a little cuckoo.

@Lars . Which of these do you consider to be true?

1. You were lied to about cannibalism, and you bought the lie, hook, line and sinker.

2. You are a useless troller, and just post things because you are stoned.

or …. No. There is no third option.

@Lars - there is no cannibalism going on outside of the extremely rare psycho-pathologically deranged serial killer, who could crop up in any nation, and as a member of any belief system. End of lesson. That’s it.

And if that became normalized on world order. And some regime went to war over it. Like islamic or whatever... that would honestly make me not side with America if that were to be a reality (then again if everybody agreed then i would be so screwed). Because how can one justify such a morally sick thing to even play with?. Its so bankrupt of morality. It just gives me vibes of pagan human sacrifice worship in the past or something. Just disgusts me insanely to be honest.

But what do you think?

edit: and yes i do know the context is diseased or roadkill. It disgusts me either way

Just because Dawkins is atheist has nothing to do with him toying with what he thinks would be "clean meat." He seems to be trying to come up with anything that might work, but it doesn't mean it's feasible or moral.

I rather have wife beaters than cannibals. Screw that crappy morale system.
I`d even make it fairer. I would take men beaters over cannibal crap. I would honestly do everything in my power to stop these sick people. Justifying this crap is so sick

Which study shows that atheists are engaging in cannibalism? Whats the reason for isolating atheists on this? Is there some statistics or is it what someone said, vis a vis, hearsay?

Nonsense. Nothing like that is happening.

I'm assuming (but might be wrong) that he's referring to this;
So, Now Richard Dawkins Is Pondering the Ethics of Cannibalism and ‘Human Steak’ | RELEVANT

Now...2 key points...

1) Dawkins doesn't get to speak for atheists in general, and frankly this was a weird tangent from him for the original topic anyway.

2) He was talking about cultured meat (basically being able to grow meat rather than kill animals). Doesn't make his point any less strange, really, but he wasn't talking about killing and eating people.

That's my best guess what the OP was on about. If he posted about Dawkins, specifically, the topic would make more sense (but still be a bit of a misrepresentation).

If that's not what he's referring to, I remain lost!!

Dawkins was speaking of some cultured meat thing and he said he won't eat human meat even if its cultured. So if this is the basis for this OP, I don't have anything but contempt. But I have have not read this article. Thanks for sharing it. It might be interesting.

Yep, you're spot on. And I didn't find it very interesting, tbh. Just me trying to understand the OP.

I had to actually make an update video on the religious cult i made. Outside that, its the same. Try to promote obvious good and avoid obvious evil. Only extended rule to this religious cult. I mean i shouldnt even be telling this since its common sense, but yeah. Only thing i would clarify on is all. Outside that , i wont add anything more to it.

This is just strange - I have never even heard of this in any way. Not even a hint... and I am American and atheist!

Of course... I don't watch "Twitch" (whatever the hell this is) and I am barely on Youtube except sometimes to pull up a particular song or to watch very particular casts. Sounds to me like you've probably spent too much time on both, scraped the very bottom of the barrel, and are now trying to pretend everyone and their brother is like these doofuses you've watched on "Twitch" or "teh Youtubes."

I assume you're talking about the Eucharist?

I think you'll find the very great majority of nonbelievers don't support the Eucharist.

Blu 2. What do you mean by "supporting the Eucharist"?
The Eucharist is a central Christian ceremony derived from Greek custom, whereby wine is drunk as the blood of Jesus and bread is eaten as the body of Jesus. According to mainstream Christianity, the wine and the bread undergo 'transubstantiation' in the rite and become the actual blood and body of Christ in their 'substance', though not their outward form. As I understand it, some Christian denominations are content to regard the proceedings as simply symbolic,

I can't think why any unbeliever would wish to take part in the Eucharist, whether regarded as transubstantiated flesh and blood or as symbolic of them.

I understand what the eucharist is. I was only wondering why you said the majority of non-believers dont support the eucharist. I mean I would expect all non-believers to not give much value to it at all.

Nevertheless, you clarified it. Thank you so much.

Dawkins is English, so how does that even work?
