I’ve attempted to make my example clear and I’m willing to clear it up more. Unless I change something about it, the example is still the same, which ...

I feel as though you did not address the example I gave. Person A thinks the drug addict does not deserve to go to prison via Golden rule. Person B th...

There are people who believe that if someone intentionally goes out of their way to do drugs while not harming anyone, the person deserves to go to pr...

The original example was simply if someone has a drug addiction. You responded with With this statement you are still saying that going to jail for a ...

I see your point. Couldn't resist quoting you there. Sorry, lmao! Sure, but my point is that people don't always agree on a punishment for a crime. Wh...

Fair enough. I admit this example is a little extreme. I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. What I meant is that yes, the law makers mi...

I contemplate whether vegan ethics, or any actions in general, go beyond being labeled as moral because we like it/value it. Can I have a clear consci...

People can honestly believe that thieves truly deserve to get their hands chopped off and agree for it to happen to them under a similar situation, un...

You could say that the punishment clearly exceeds the crime by our standards today, however I don't think you have a basis for saying that majority of...

Let's say we have culture A and culture B that don't interact with each other. Both cultures value different things. In culture A, if you steal, you g...

It's strange because on one hand I really wish institutions like this weren't a thing, but at the same time I don't want to ban them. I want people to...

Interesting post. I think that you are acting in self-interest. It is your interest to make your family happy/to get satisfaction from making your fam...

Oh okay I agree with you then. Under the right circumstances, people in a society will choose anything that suits their interests. If you were to even...

chill lol

However it is prejudice. And sometimes people use the words interchangeably when it comes to a person's nationality. Criticizing someone who says that...

We can only encourage critical thinking, and hopefully over time, people will become less religious. Although you say that the need to teach critical ...

I never said it was racist. It is prejudiced if you assume he knew it is offensive to people. Most people know this, so I think it's reasonable to mak...

Did you completely miss the point of what I was saying? It's not the idea itself that is bad. But the tone has a hint of prejudice. So I don't know wh...

First of all I don't agree we should reject Haitians. But even if we decide we should, there's still a problem. If you are a coach for an athletic tea...

I agree beliefs in religion have their consequences, but I don't think banning public religious practices is gonna lead to any positive outcome. Nor d...

I thought you had said free expression rather than legal expression as if implying religious ideals should be allowed to be expressed even when they a...

It depends on context. Consider this hypothetical example. If ISIS opens up a school in America, people allow their kids to go from like age 2. The ki...

I may have worded it strangely, but I mean we should be allowed to criticize the doctrines themselves, criticize people's interpretations of the doctr...

If you read Pseudonym's last comment, I think there was just more of a misunderstanding going on.

My parents believe in god. They are fine with my brother being gay. They are fine with separation of church. They prefer separation of church and stat...

You're a dog. It must be very complex.

I read that quote as if Pseudonym is saying we should not allow religion when it's degrees of consequences have reached a point that is intolerable, l...

If Pseudonym is saying we should be intolerant, then I don't agree with that. But I'll let Pseudonym defend that rather than possibly misrepresent Pse...

What makes him different from ISIS? Are you kidding me? He is clearly just vocalizing that we should discourage religion and express our issues with i...

I told you already multiple times the phenomena we study in biology is the way it is because of the phenomena of biochemistry, which is the way it is ...

The living human body is a product of physics. The phenomena of physics is the reason the human body is the way it is. So you are essentially saying t...

My bad, I misunderstood. Can you copy and paste the demonstration then? Because I don't see a demonstration anywhere.

You were talking about how DNA somehow gives direction. So with all the terms, I'm referring to the phenomena itself. Why is the phenomena that we stu...

The way biology is the way it is is because of complex biochemistry. Chemistry is the way it is because of the underlying physics. If you're gonna mak...

No I don't see it that way. If in the future society gets to a point where people don't hold beliefs without empirical evidence like ghosts, gods, hor...

I don't know if you're trolling but I'm done with this conversation lol

Natural selection is a term used to describe what is happening during evolution in the physical world. Science describes what is happening in the phys...

Natural is not metaphysical whatsoever, Natural is a word used to describe what happens without human manipulation. nature - the phenomena of the phys...

How does the fact that I'm able to see demonstrate that there is some metaphysical mind beyond the brain? That's nonsense. Natural is not metaphysical...

The only metaphysical bias of science is that the metaphysical mind has not been demonstrated. That is not the same thing as claiming there is no meta...

There is no claim that there is no mind, There is only assumption that a metaphysical mind hasn't been demonstrated. You have not demonstrated it.

nature - the phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, the landscape, and other features and products of the earth, as ...

You are misinterpreting what they meant then. What they mean by naturally is that how it could change (depending on conditions of the cell) without th...

The way they are using naturally there is the same way they'd say if you drop an apple, it naturally falls. Physics is the way it is and we don't know...

All they were doing in that experiment was change the histone in a way that is similar to how the histone could change without their interference (dep...

All it is saying is that naturally occurring changes can be passed on through generations. Natural changes can happen for many reasons depending on th...

I've already in previous comments talked about how genes are regulated and other parts of the cell will affect genes. No one who has taken an upper bi...

I actually read most of the article. He criticizes the central dogma of Watson and Crick because they didn't account for alternative splicing. We don'...

What book was it? The central dogma is a model that we created based off of what we understood. Just because genetics is confusing and we have a hard ...

If you have any other sources feel free to post them because I have never heard of this. I didn't read the full article, but from the quote you posted...
