Would the World Be Better Off Without Religion? A Skeptic’s Guide to the Debate - CSI

Krish55 comments on Aug 17, 2018:

True. But the best way to get there is a just economy which is conducive to peace of mind and rational thinking as opposed to economic instability which leads to mental irrationality. Criticizing religion without looking at the social economic base of its abuses is useless. And, referring to Dawkins here, it's merely showing off one's supposed mental superiority. Dawkins lives in an imperialist country whose wealth allows him to be rational. He ignores the crimes of his country against other nations which turn to irrational religion as a refuge.

@bigpawbullets @idolpx For those that are still in denial because they are the racial and national beneficiaries, capitalism enriched some at the expense of others through slavery, colonialism, imperialism, and war. You don't see the impoverished and brutalized victims because they live elsewhere and you don't care about them because they are of different ethnicities. Boasting about your white privelege doesn't alter history or the current reality in the world.

This "Democracy vs. Tyranny" is Western ethnocentrism. The Spartans were the most militaristic fascists in history. The Athenians were murderous to the conquered. Look up the history of the Peloponessian Wars to see how the Athenians treated the people they conquered, e.g. Melos. The Persian Empire was actually more lenient in its treatment of the conquered compared to empires before. They allowed limited self-rule for example. Apart from racism, one reason to continue promoting this mistaken stereotype is to demonize Iran, the inheritor of Persia.

Why are there so many people who are lonely?

Krish55 comments on Jul 26, 2018:

Simple Suggestions: 1: Turn off the TV and the computer. 2: Invite some friends over for boardgames/storytelling/joke sharing. 3: Learn to sing/play and instrument & join a group for practice. 4: Learn to dance and throw a dance party. 5: Join a group that seeks to improve a situation you are concerned about. Basically entertain yourselves and act the way our great-grandparents did - with each other rather than with expensive technology. Meetup.com is a good tool for meeting real people with similar interests.

Krish55 comments on Jul 24, 2018:

The GDR was founded by the communists who resisted Hitler and were his first victims. Some of them had fought in Spain against Franco. I like the music of Ernst Busch and Hans Eisler which expresses the revolutionary spirit of the 1930s. But why did communism become oppressive? Look at the specifics of the history... The Western capitalist countries, including the USA, invaded Russia to put down the revolution, thereby prolonging the civil war. When the US was winning WWII, it dropped the genocidal atomic bombs on Japanese civilians. This was a warning to the USSR. In Europe, the US created NATO, under the pretext of defending Western Europe. Having just experienced extermination in Hitler's camps and faced with an enemy capable of atomic genocide, it was inevitable that Eastern European communists would become oppressive to their citizens to defend their governments.
