Stop weeping.

I've no idea what you're going on about, now.

But being a friend of Caesar isn't the same as being a "friend" of Jesus.

smh

Ah, so is hedonism where all begins and ends with, now? ;)

Agreed. Hedonism is and will be modernity's favorite new religion.

I dunno about this in all cases. I see a lot of (sometimes well deserved) hassling of Christians and Jews which hasn't really brought about any sort o...

I can't wait to see the Christian terrorism that will take its revenge on the bombings in Egypt! ...oh, wait...

I can just see you now, gulping a kelp shake and watching Al Jazeera on the tele, with a yoga mat 'neath your bum.

Defining religion is a mess. I thought everyone knew that, :P

Because religion at its heart is a communal construct, an institution. In all honesty, I'd argue that religion is most likely inherently institutional...

I've not read this idiocy, but I'll take your word for it. There are plenty of stupid Christians out there. I was critiquing Christianity's importance...

Without Christianity's institutionalization in Western society, Western civilization would never have gotten off of its feet. Even more generally spea...

Oh, I'm sorry. I'll let you guys get back to your hamfisting, then (Y)

What a flimsy retort, >:O Edit: Well, so is this claim - Man, why'd we revive this thread only to write a bunch of stupid? :(

Gender isn't a replacement for one's sex. To conflate the two would be issue number one.

It's a pity that anime is still thought of only in terms of its more upbeat and fun shows like Dragon Ball, Naruto, etc. There's such depth to the gen...

It seems that his staff is largely to blame. Had to replace the whole Executive Branch essentially, and it's not functioning particularly well.

In a private setting, I can see why ideology is helpful, but in the public space? As you mention with the therapist, the ideology in practice gets dro...

I've heard that heroin is good stuff too, have you tried that yet?

If you didn't warn Emptyheady in a PM to drop the discussion, then you've not done a very good job of giving the guy a chance to not go against the gu...

wut

I like my breads smeared with fascist cream cheese. The taste really overpowers your mouth and forces you to love it.

>:O

Nazi Germany includes countries like Belgium, Norway, Poland, Austria, and so on.

Intending to exterminate the Jewish population, and nearly succeeding, is objectively worse than a government merely having bad policy.

I think a key difference here is that the Venezuelan government has not intended to kill its citizenry like Nazi Germany did. Bad policies do not equa...

If only I weren't a swarthy and disabled Gypsy gigolo, perhaps I'd pick Nazi Germany, too :’(

I'm hardly reading this conversation. I'll do it later.

Trump is fascist in the adjectival use of the word. To call him a Nazi is straight stupid.

Just because he wrote philosophy?

Mind-dependence doesn't mean that Ancient Egyptians and Velociraptors did not also exist.

It's all too common for scholars to exaggerate the power of the Roman Emperor, especially after Domitian. To suggest that Aurelius was unprecedented i...

eh?

Potential.

But what about Satan? :s

Mmm, I would say that the world is the totality of perception, whether one knows or does not know the factual quality of something.

That guy gets quite a bit wrong. Who is he, exactly? And why didn't he piss before he got up there?

It would be wise, here, to distinguish between sexual orientation and fetishes.

Praise be! Thank Christ that my moderated indulgence of cannibalism hasn't become too excessive! :D

I did NOT have sexual relations with my hand. https://discourseincsharpminor.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/badclinton21.jpg

Just as I might tell you that if you shoot yourself in the head, you'll probably die. If you don't, you'll live. But, the choice is yours!

Hmm, but who's to say all these are ways toward transcendence? Is praying and fasting and the like acts of transcending? And how would you know until ...

This is patently insane, Agu. Scientists never deal in certainties, so why critique them on failing to live up to a goal they're not even after? Then ...

I pervert every thread I come into don't I...sigh.

He can lay a new roof on my cheeks.

You can come up into my ass anytime, Wossy.

Nope, >:O
