Ok, so you are saying that there is more genetic diversity outside the “race” paradigm than inside it? And therefore...those differences in race are b...
Bear with me, Im dumbfounded by what you are saying. What is the nonsense of races? Why are you attempting to make a definition that ignores physical ...
What do you mean? Ones “race” is determined by genes, just like every other biological trait...no? If not, then what determines skin colour or other “...
How do you define race? You said its a social construct, so Im curious to how you would categorise some of the obvious physical characteristics such a...
The reason why “colour blindness” is out of fashion is because race baiting and victim culture are IN fashion. Part of the dogma of that trend is that...
Well it really would be felt and heard if god actually existed. One good reason to be skeptical of gods existence...alot of us feel and here nothing f...
Ive not read any Satre that I recall. It doesnt seem like an actually existing god could be ignored like that. His presence would be felt and heard, t...
Ah I see. Im not sure I agree. If god did exist then how could it be irrelevant to the human condition? Its kind of written into the character. Maybe ...
I would have thought atheists basing their philosophy on their atheism would be equally rare. I wonder how that would work...basing something off of s...
Well you would lack a belief whenever you are not holding a particular belief. So in this case, I have not heard any arguments or seen evidence that c...
Ya, there certainly seems to be alot of posturing in these forums. The main sources seem to be defensiveness based on assumption of incoming attacks (...
Ok, I will answer again but this is your last chance for an actual discussion. From me at least. God does not exist, true or false? The answer is I do...
Im not trying to intimidate you, nor was any if that a personal attack. Im trying to help you, because if you keep on doing what your doing people wil...
You are conflating answering “in a direct succinct fashion” with the answers you want us to say. You clearly want an atheist to say “god does not exis...
And if religious people control the government, wouldnt they be the ones imposing? Wouldnt they be imposing on the atheists? Wouldnt they be imposing ...
There is some interesting research that some primates are entering the stone age as far as using tools. Sorry, I cannot recall the source but it menti...
You do not understand the burden of proof. If someone makes a claim, they are the ones that have to defend that claim. If someone is not convinced by ...
There is no need to assert the non-existence of god, any more than I need to assert the non-existence of a magic turtle upon which the earth is built....
I think you are overcomplicating it. It just means I do not know if that statement is true. Again though, it depends on what you mean by “god”. How do...
No need to worry about me getting angry at your questions/comments. As to your statement, it depends on what you mean by “god”. Generally my answer wo...
Many atheists might indeed hold the view mysteries do not exist, but not because of their atheism. As the person pointed out, atheism doesnt have anyt...
Thats not what those statements are about, though I understand why you might think that. That comment was not intended as insult, or to express discon...
No, im not saying that either. No idea where you are getting that from. This is why when you said “I get that” I think you were mistaken. You don’t se...
We are in the minority because the institutions from a bygone era of ignorant superstitions still exist and exert influence and control. What you shou...
Thats why “brainwashing” seems like such an accurate word when describing how people come to religion. Trained from childhood to accept utterly vacant...
Any view of whats true based on probability always seems pretty dodgy to me. Probability is not aw effective as the scientific method, or even just si...
Really? Engenders nothing to no one? Did you miss the parts of this thread where people were sad to see him go? Some even said they liked the guy. Ima...
You are not aware of all potential wars when you join up, at any time you could be sent to a war thats unjustified. You might suddenly find yourself i...
No you are not. You are making specific references to society and democracy, and I dont think you are really factoring in the social contract a soldie...
A lot of that wasnt focusing on the soldier. The soldier doesnt get to pick and choose, it cannot work that way. They do not get the luxury of moral r...
I disagree. I think that the reality is you don’t get to pick and choose the wars you think are just or not when you are in the military. It doesnt an...
Ive actually had experience with Pattern Chaser in other forums, where he does the exact same thing. He claims to be picked on and abused, and plays t...
Well, it might be a childish rule, but enforcing the rule isnt childish itself. I dont agree with the rule either, but a rule it is. The “adult” thing...
