Hey Creationists. Do you think that creationism should be taught in schools as science? [Spirituality & Religion] If so then you must be able to tell us how creationism could be falsified. You must be able to tell me how creationism can make testable predictions. You must be able to show experimentally how creation functions. Can you do that for us? If not,...See More »
So...now trump is asking for americans to pay for the wall....Come on! I know you trumpettes are out there! Why so silent on this matter?! He told you that the mexicans would pay for it and you lapped it up. Now he's telling you that YOU need to pay for it. And you're just staying quiet about it? Are you too embarrassed to acknowledge the betrayal or are you still too busy...See More »
Why do people say stuff like "everyone i know who gets the flu shot got the flu" ? Can someone explain to me the notion that it is not only possible but probable that the flu shot will make you sick? Because i can find nothing online that even agrees that you can even get the flu in this way.
So, you're an anti-vaxxer. Why? I'm interested to hear what you believe and why you believe it. Are you under the impression that there has been scientific links with vaccines and autism? Are you afraid of the adjuvants used? What's the deal?
Lord (not a bag of shit at all) Byron, progenitor of the law of thermodynamics acknowledged that it did not conflict with evolution theory [Spirituality & Religion]He (presumably) understood that theory very well, right? So if even he did not consider evolution to be incompatible, why do modern creationists?
So, you reject the Theory of Evolution. Why is that? [Spirituality & Religion] Layman that i am, i'd love to address any questions or criticisms you have of the theory of evolution because in my experience, rejection of this theory is often the result of a lack of information or misinformation.
Did you choose to be an atheist? CAN one choose to be an atheist? [Spirituality & Religion]For me, not believing in a god is not a choice any more than not believing in santa claus is a choice. I simply don't believe the story. The tales are improbable, the evidence unconvincing. I can't decide that i believe that which i do not believe.
Is it hard to be a modern, empowered woman who loves and follows the bible? [Spirituality & Religion] The bible is very clear about what a woman's place is in the hierarchy of the home and the church. Is it difficult for a bible believing christian woman to reconcile the teachings of the bible with the modern notion that women should be equal to men...See More »
I've often encountered the argument from christians that if god isn't real or if evolution is true then how can there be morality? [Spirituality & Religion] I'd like you to think about that question and posit an answer. Not an insult, not a criticism. Just think about the question from the perspective that god is not real and see if you can think of an answer to how there could still be morality and...See More »
Curious: How many christians and creationists respect Kent Hovind as a reliable speaker on evolution and/or man of faith? [Spirituality & Religion]He's a convicted criminal, had three wives in three years and regularly insults any opposition to his ministry. And that's in addition to his multiple, blatant misunderstandings/mischaracterizations regarding evolution. So, what do you think of...See More »
Ok creationists: Stop characterizing the atheist position as everything came from nothing. [Spirituality & Religion] What makes you think nothing existed? What makes you think nothing is even possible? Anything but the bible? Well then stop pushing your religious assumptions on the rest of us. This has been a public service announcement.
Atheism is dangerous? Really? [Spirituality & Religion]When has anyone ever cut off another person's head in the name of atheism? When has anyone ever invaded foreign countries in the name of atheism? When has anyone ever started a war in the name of atheism?
So you're worried about radical muslims. Consider an ethnically Muslim kid who grew up in america, considers themselves an american. Suddenly they've got a president who was advocating for a ban on muslim countries and a REGISTRATION of Muslims in america. How much more vulnerable is...See More »
So if god cares about humanity and our salvation, why do you suppose that he only revealed himself to some ancient middle eastern people? [Spirituality & Religion]Why wouldn't he reveal himself to the different cultures and populations across the world? After all, this was a time when the world was much larger and the global dissemination of information was not only impractical but downright impossible. So...See More »
In a world where we met many alien species and they turned out to be as human as they are in Star Trek... [Spirituality & Religion] Poll (11) See Poll Options...would you believe in a god?
Should the nuclear bombing of japan in WW2 be considered a war crime?I know that america likes to style herself as the "good guy" but how is the death of tens of thousands of civilians and hundreds of thousands including radiation poisoning anything but a war crime?
If evolution actually didn't happen, why do you suppose that god made it looks as though it had? [Spirituality & Religion] The physical evidence points overwhelmingly to evolution through common descent. If evolution didn't happen, why is god laying a false trail?
How do you trust a man like trump as president of the united states? I know there are many of you who approve of him, some appear even to worship him. But how do you put your trust in a man who is so willing to say whatever he thinks will be beneficial to him at any given time? How do you trust a man who tells...See More »
For real though. Does trump's behaviour not frighten you? Does it not make you worry after the future of democracy in the US? He's deliberately encouraged anger and distrust of foreigners and minorities as a scapegoat for america's problems. He appoints his cronies to positions of power and HE LABELS THE FREE PRESS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! Like, do you think that fascism...See More »
What's the latest news on trump's wall? Is it getting built? Are the mexicans paying for it?I know it was a big campaign thing but it's kind of fallen out of the news. What's the situation there?
Is chiropractic quackery?I know that some chiropractors, particularly in the UK claim to be able to cure all manner of shit including colic. And they can't. But it seems to me that treating pain of the neck and back by manipulating the neck and back makes sense. So does it...See More »
Sovereign citizen/ freeman on the land: Can someone explain to me the argument "i'm not driving......i'm travelling." ? Like, yeah. You ARE traveling and you're doing that by operating a motor vehicle which requires a license. How is this meant to be a defense?
Time to get your flu shot! There is exactly ONE valid reason not to do it and that is because you are medically unable.Get that shot. Protect yourself, your family and your community.
Damn. You know Trump is on the wrong side of the issue when even Fox takes a stance against him. Fox News announced today that it will back rival network CNN’s lawsuit against the Trump administration over the White House’s revoking of CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s press credentials. "FOX News supports CNN in its legal effort to regain its White...See More »
