Do you mean that there are rarely religious themes under the actions of people through war throughout history? Including all those who thought they we...
I was in what would have been a very serious car accident with an 18-wheeler and trailer, around 15 years ago. I got super lucky, the car was smashed,...
Probability should be enough. Mistakes are made by people, not the "medical system". The "medical system" can have problematic bureaucracy and coordin...
It's literally disproven by actual numbers of deaths getting lower when vaccination numbers get higher. So please provide a source for such a specific...
Is it "buying into"? Or is it compiling the consensus conclusions of people who have studied most of their lives on subjects and science that we only ...
Are you dense? Did you read what I wrote? That you are comparing apples to oranges? Are you unable to understand that such comparisons aren't relevant...
You are comparing rebelling against a government fighting for the freedom to fighting scientists and experts who try to fight a pandemic. You're so fa...
No, you're only using their exact rhetoric, wild speculative bullshit, fear-mongering, and total ignorance of the science. It's like a racist who says...
If you actually bother to understand the text I'm writing, I'm talking about the need for experts to be behind the steering wheel and not have morons ...
That WHO or other public health has a hidden agenda of some sort: That you don't recognize what's a conspiracy theory or not is not surprising as it's...
Do you have any evidence to support this claim that you cannot trust public health? You have provided nothing of the sort. As long as there's no evide...
Not in philosophy. I've been pointing this out in other threads as well. This forum is supposed to be a place that A) Tolerates almost all kinds of to...
No, they're not. You can easily compare nations who prepared badly or who didn't have effective actions in place. Like in India where they had to burn...
Maybe because there's no evidence other than conspiracy theories for it? The lack of something on their site is not "evidence" for them being a propag...
Scale up the statistics and do a projected death toll and include all "long-covid" health problems that for some are permanent and you'll see that it'...
If you don't prime a person into a specific belief, there will not be any of that belief. If the exposure to such belief isn't present until the child...
I already explained it in detail, if you want more detail you have to study psychology, I won't write out thousands of pages of psychology research wh...
In order to reflect upon decisions. Nothing of this is really a mystery, just study some psychology and evolution and you will have the answers there....
It can be all at once. There can be morality out of our empathy, which could be considered an objective truth of the human condition. Then there can b...
This is irrelevant to the point I made, is it not? You are saying that because someone lives in the worst conditions, they will find it hard to feel m...
But none of that has to do with what I pointed out. And if your argument isn't really in opposition to what I said, but rather stating a new argument ...
*sigh* I am not bashing on Buddhism. In any sense, for me as an atheist, it's the only major religion close to any rationality in the world today. But...
Yes, I know that. I'm trying to find out how people define atheism when it seems possible to believe in something that is by all definitions a God, bu...
So a Buddhist atheist can therefore exist? Or someone believing there's a quantum-entity-cat flowing through the Higgs boson field is also an atheist ...
I'm not only questioning theist's perspective and straw-manning of atheism, I'm also questioning many atheist's perspectives on defining it. If atheis...
Please continue with the low-quality posts. You add nothing to the discussion and no real counterarguments. I refer you to previously written posts to...
Can we have the moderators check for low-quality posts? I'm not sure how to define it anymore. I didn't say he was right, psychology has already prove...
"Justifies reason as being true"? Why are you changing the meaning of what I write? What truth? You asked: Whenever you go into epistemology and ask i...
What proof are you talking about? You asked if there were anything that "examines" reason and logic, if that is the foundation for atheism. And the an...
Epistemology is reasoning and logically examining the nature of knowledge and how to know. It was an answer to this: In epistemology, that's much of w...
I don't see an argument here? Just, "oh, you don't have any answers within epistemology, so you are wrong", and "you are just an ill-informed fundamen...
I have not problem living as an atheist in a society that doesn't rely as much upon any religion or God as nations like the US does. Many theists are ...
This implies that atheism is only in opposition with the concept of "God" and the belief in one or a pantheon. But I wouldn't call someone who believe...
Atheism is simply accepting logic and reason over belief and experience. Even an atheist can experience religious-like feelings, awe, mystery and so o...
And WHO has extensive information that's constantly updated with new data and research. https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-201...
That doesn't matter now, does it? If you get side effects because of that super unlucky lottery, then that is not any empirical evidence that the vacc...
Read the thread People pushing the dangers of vaccines often don't know how statistics work or how to interpret them. In comparison to the virus, what...
In what way? People are burning bodies in India, a relative of mine died and the statistics are through the roof about people dying even when we have ...
Someone smoking in the proximity of others is not at direct risk of getting sick. An unvaccinated person who carries the virus can infect and hurt or ...
Well, exactly, we are talking in public right? Not specific locations for the purpose. It's still illegal to drink alcohol in many public spaces, nowh...
Smoking has been banned in many public spaces, so the logic applies. And alcohol is also banned in public spaces, while not affecting others as much, ...
The country you live in also demands things of you as a citizen. Just because it's your country doesn't mean it's yours. They can demand that you get ...
It can also create a total loss of smell and taste, distorted smell and taste that could be permanent. It can cause exhaustion that lasts for months, ...
You live in a society, you play by their rules. If you don't live in society, you can do whatever. Same logic. You risk people on the plane, you risk ...
Careful, the Karen might infect Mr Muscle Dude and the surrounding ten passengers. Better to just send in the hazard team and bubble-boy Karen as quar...
Anecdotal evidence is irrelevant. mRNA vaccine is not the same as that vaccine, which was my point. The disease is also different. Covid is extremely ...
I'm with you. The respect for people's opinions goes far, but there's a limit. When we have a clear situation where these idiots' behavior can harm or...
Or people who can't get the vaccine because of allergic reactions and such. There are many people who can't get vaccines. But maybe the anti-vaccers t...
So are millions of others. I guess they are all idiots in your eyes. So, because you are educated, as you clearly point out, you know the difference b...
