I find it hard to identify with anyone who becomes more conservative in this day and age. The democratic party is not for the most part progressive but the repuglican party is down right fascist.

What is social intelligence really?

Theresa_N comments on Oct 3, 2020:

Theresa_N comments on Oct 3, 2020:

If he lived in the US he would think evangelical far right militias were "the greatest threat," even the FBI has acknowledged this. Islam was a "great threat" for many years, now the right has taken their place. Dawkins and others from his school of thought still have these outdated ideas. Ilhan Omar is no more a threat than I am.

Does anyone else wonder if Trump having Covid could delay his SCOTUS nomination?

Theresa_N comments on Oct 2, 2020:

About the only difference this will bring is in tRump's campaigning. He won't be able to attend rallies or other events for a couple of weeks. That is if it doesn't kill him which is what I'm hoping for.

I wish all churches were truly bankrupted. In my extensive experience with catholic clergy, a minority were pedophiles, most were either gay or involved with women. It's just that one pedophile out of ten will cause a lot of damage to a lot of children. The vow of celibacy is a joke.

So where do you get your morality from if you’re an atheist?
