Christians believe that God answers prayers and does miraculous healings...but why does he never ever heal an amputee? I know this feels like a gotcha question and maybe on some level it is but mainly i'm just really curious about what Christians think the answer is. I watched a video where this question was addressed by a panel of Christians and i was eager to...See More »
If god's creation was perfect, how did humanity fall? Why was there another being tempting them to disobey?Surely a perfect creation wouldn't attempt to persuade humans to disobey god. Surely a perfect creation wouldn't, in the face for such persuasion, decide to disobey god. I think the easy answer is "Free will! Free will!" but a perfect creation...See More »

MAGA lads and ladies...what would it look like for American politics if the Jan6th traitors had succeeded in overturning the results of the election? Would you have liked to set a president wherein an election could be denied by the losing party? Would you want it to be a realistic matter of course for the losing party to use force to set up their chosen candidate as President?
Ever heard of Project Steve? It's pretty funny.Well creationists assembled a petition of real scientists who disagreed with evolution. In response, a petition of scientists who do accept evolution was made. The catch: Only people with the name Steve (or similar like Stephen, Stephanie etc) were...See More »
Some of y'all are getting really upset at the idea of Schools and Teachers not narking on kids who change their pronouns or identify as trans. I think you're wrong to be upset. I think at this time it's for a child's safety that their choice of pronouns or expressed gender identity not be relayed to the parents. Why? Because if the child wanted their parents to know then they would tell...See More »

Does REALITY have a left-leaning bias? Some polls seem to suggest YES. In research constructed by Frank Graves, a professor at Carlton University, respondents were given a series of questions to test how much or how little they believed in things. It turned out that the people who most strongly believed disinformation...See More »
Christians: In your honest, non-antagonistic opinion, why do you think that atheists are atheist? I encourage Christians to answer honestly and Atheists to respond with correction or affirmation without either party taking things personally or becoming combative.
Abortion question for pro-lifers. How fully do you consider an embryo to be a person?I came across an interesting test for pro-lifers.

I'm curious to hear what trans people and allies think of trans women in women sports.To me this seems like an area where we really do have to differentiate between a biological woman and a trans woman in the name of fair competition. What do you think? Is there any science which would disconfirm this position?
Trump supporters: If Trump is found guilty in a court of law will that change your enthusiasm to have him as president again? Will that convince you that Trump has deceived you as to his character? Or will any conviction of Trump be, in your eyes, only an unfair weaponization of the justice system? It's already demonstrated that he committed fraud by lying about how much...See More »
I saw this great analogy for evolution on the Dapper Dinosaur Youtube channel. Using English it shows how evolution occurs gradually over generations. I've tried to copy the URL at the right time but that seems not to work on SW so if the video is starting at the start, skip to 46:20 for the relevant section. Dapper is using Luke 15: 11-13 as the reference.
A challenge to both Theists and Atheists: Don't let your own side get away with bad arguments. If you see someone with whom you are ideologically aligned making a weak, misinformed or illogical argument...call them out on it. Explain why it is flawed. It won't weaken "your side", it will...See More »

Agnostics are actually agnostic atheists. If you don't believe that a god exists then you fall under the category of atheist. You don't have to be certain that no god exists but if you cannot say " Yes, i believe a god exists" then you are an atheist.
