Anti-hate is not hate. It is not bigotry to call out bigotry. What bizarro world are you from?

Well, his father did march with the KKK, and he did hire Steve Bannon.

Yes. I am an anti-fascist in that I oppose hate as should all good Americans. I’m not a member of AntiFa.

Most of us believe that he says those things out of one side of his mouth, while out of the other side he gives aid and comfort to Neo-Nazis. This can...

Not a spy. A troll. You’re not intelligent enough to be a full-fledged spy.

I’m beginning to suspect you work for the Internet Research Agency, a GRU front.

He said “there were very fine people on both sides.” Where were the fine people in the group who were chanting “Jews will not replace us”? Other presi...

Just out of curiosity, do you fall on the autism spectrum?

We all know he was talking about Mexican immigrants. Why the need for a wall (that Mexico was supposed to pay for)? “Some are good people.” Haha! And ...

None of what I mentioned are lies. I’ve personally witnessed them along with hundreds of millions of people around the world! Don’t believe our lying ...

Haha! Rhetoric? These are indisputable facts backed up with video evidence and written policy!

Trump also sexually assaults women and he admitted it on tape. He also consorts with sex-traffickers and rapists.

Trump called immigrants from Mexico “rapists” and criminals. He called majority black countries “shitholes”. He deported non-criminal undocumented wor...

Yes. I question the character of every Trump supporter. Do I have to defend this?

I agree that it involves more but not “much” more. If you think Trump is sane, then I have to question your sanity. Either you yourself suffer from a ...

One with a decent knowledge of psychology need only observe him talking for 15 minutes to see evidence. Compiling this 15-minute observation with the ...

I know someone who has been clinically diagnosed by 12 different psychiatrists, and the conservatives in his community don’t believe it because he wen...

A lot of scientists believe in the multiverse. A lot of scientists also believe in intelligent design. A lot of scientists believe in intelligent desi...

But you see how not voting then causes an ignorance of the electorate on the part of the politicians, right?

That’s fair. I happen to like the Democratic Party myself.

You could tell a kid that there is a dimension that Harry Potter magic exists but not our dimension. Then you could make it plain that it is completel...

Of course that’s a reason many theists have given. There are also theists who experience things that atheists don’t seem to or atheists would dismiss ...

Sure, but do you feel comfortable throwing away your vote? Suppose only two parties have a real chance of winning but there are four parties to choose...

No, you don’t sound like you’re preaching. At least not to me. But atheists often see any defense as a form of preaching. They tend not to see that di...

That’s fine. But you can’t preach to someone who has no interest, right?

As long as the child is told that concerning these matters it is completely up to them to believe or disbelieve whatever they want, and that they shou...

I think giving a child exposure to many different religions is not a problem. Indoctrination in a particular religion is a problem. It promotes intole...

Yes, but given that we really only have a dichotomous choice, is one side clearly worse than the other in your view?

Theism in and of itself is innocuous. Evangelism on metaphysical issues is what I have in mind as coercion. Also, in the Theistic middle eastern count...

Do you believe things wouldn’t be as bad or better given a dichotomous choice? I agree that winner take all elections are a problem in this country.

Fundamentalism usually implies that there are right and wrong beliefs to have and further that others should be coerced into holding the same beliefs ...

A person is coerced by others into doing something or is coerced by circumstances to ‘choose’. We call the latter “free will”. So I agree that there i...

This OP is not not simplistic in its treatment of language.

That’s the case already with half of the electorate. Total informed engagement is the solution imo.

You make a good point. However, the OP was about atheism, no?

That’s from the viewpoint of an anarchist, though. What about someone who wants to improve upon the system? There are many good things about America f...

And I have a 13-inch penis.

I’m glad you find fault with him for his lack of entertainment value, but for people in the US who value American values as pronounced in the Declarat...

Let me guess. You’re between 18 and 25 years old?

That’s right. You’re an anarchist. Do you live in the US? Because if Trump has his way, there will be much less freedom for everyone else and unlimite...

When you try to run others’ lives by telling them what to believe or think, then yes.

Perhaps you should watch the news or read a paper. There’s nothing banal about what is happening here. The foundations on which this country was built...

Strong conviction in anything that encroaches on the freedom of others should be avoided and is fundamentalism.

Praying is only good for meditating on self-improvement. It is worthless in influencing others.

The collective “we” or each individual? If you mean each individual, then I don’t see how you can separate the individual from the whole. None of us l...

Are you mocking me? If so, don’t be a prick. If not, then what?

Right. Dismantling of the American system of government is SO banal. :wink:

Isn’t that what we are watching daily on the news with his cabinet? I guess my worry was that I wouldn’t want him to build a raft like in the movie “T...

Hmm. Maybe only if we build an electrified perimeter around the island.

Conservatives tend not to believe in mental illness as a general rule, but they will not hesitate to invoke the mental health crisis every time there ...
