Why religion should be outlawed from politics...

phxbillcee comments on Jul 27, 2021:

Even Barry Goldwater warned of religious interference. We need to fight back, speak out & support org.s like FFRF & American Atheists.

phxbillcee replies on Jul 28, 2021:

@Lizard_of_Ahaz I'm not disagreeing. I brought up Goldwater just to show that even someone like him knew the dangers of religious interference... “Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.” ― Barry Goldwater

@bbyrd009 The Meme did not "infer" that. It was making a point about the consequences of not getting vaccinated, which can lead to death. Some of the folks on the thread did not show sympathy for anti-vaxxers, which, tho maybe cold, is understandable as they are reaping what they sow. Also, this is about one particular point, not "everyone who doesn't believe exactly like (sic) I do", as you stated. I stand by my statement above.

phxbillcee replies on Jul 22, 2021:

But, you also have to remember, for what ever reasons the initial reports were given, it was still science that found & proved the dangers, too. 'Science' may screw up, but it is 'Science' that repairs it, too. Caution & skepticism are surely warranted, but ignoring the vast mountain of data on certain things (vaccines, Climate Change, renewable energy sources, etc, let alone evolution, the age of the Earth or Universe, etc.) is falling prey to the other extreme.

Burden of Proof | John - Topeka, KS | Atheist Experience 21.

Deb57 comments on Jul 20, 2021:

The burden of proof is on the party that makes the claim. If you say there is a god and I say I don't believe you, then the burden of proof is on you.

phxbillcee replies on Jul 20, 2021:

It's amazing (or maybe not) that so many theists can't grasp that concept. If I assert, "There is no god", then I have made a claim that I have to back up. Saying, "I'm not convinced by your claim of a god" places NO burden on me.

Tell me more of this "eat out school"??? Is it a women's college??? ;-)

Not to mention how much of the Old Testament was cribbed from earlier religions...

The biblical text clearly gives credit that Jesus was Egyptian. The LORD Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance.” Isaiah 19:25

Yes, that states that so clearly (???) So, not Bethlehem or Nazareth or Hoboken?

Wow, I didn't know I'd be presented with a quote from Hawking that made him seem dumb, but here we are. If everything is predestined, which it is, whether or not we look before crossing a road is also predestined and unchangeable. Are we sure that's a real quote, because it's really fucking stupid...

Is This the First Sentencing? [rawstory.com]

phxbillcee comments on Jul 19, 2021:

I think this is. There will likely be a range of sentences depending on the Judge, & actions taken by the perps before, during & after 1/6, both in deeds & on social media.

phxbillcee replies on Jul 19, 2021:

@BirdMan1 This is a good take on that... https://agnostic.com/group/BestofLateNightNews/discussion/610465/beau-of-the-fifth-column-lets-talk-about-8-months-justice-and-fairness-https-www-yo

Can Civilization Survive What’s Coming?

BD66 comments on Jul 19, 2021:

it may be confused about why an intelligent species that could build rockets and write songs like “Imagine” couldn’t heed warnings of its own destruction. Because the "warnings" were nonsense.

phxbillcee replies on Jul 19, 2021:

@BD66 Yeah, that is SO true of the noaa report, & virtually none of the others, either. Go ahead, continue to stick your head in the sand & cherry-pick data (boy, why does THAT sound familiar!) Again, not "fearful" or "hysterical". Very concerned, especially when seeing evidence of a good part of the problem in dealing with this issue. If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.

phxbillcee replies on Jul 19, 2021:

@BD66 Oh, gee, the increasing number & severity of tornadoes & hurricanes, with increased damage (such as Hurricane Sandy, to mention just one incident.) The major up-tick in wildfires here in the Western US & places like Australia. Record heat waves here, in Europe & world-wide. Yeah, we're just imagining all this. I'm glad your Ouija board is keeping you up to date on all this & you have your crystals to protect you. The Cambrian was 500 million years ago, why you would reference then as some kind of benchmark is ludicrous. The IPCC report is meant as an urgent wake-up call. It's not meant to encourage "hysteria" but action. Is someone telling you your house is on fire encouraging "hysteria"? No, it's to get your ass out & getting help to fight the fire. You seem to want the fire to actually start burning your clothes before you act. Short-sighted & foolish.

@BD66 I'm sorry, how did I come across as "hysterical"? Am I worried about a very real, possibly existential threat? Yes. Do I dismiss the science & warnings as "nonsense"? No. Did you with no evidence to back up that opinion? Yes.
