Fighting Religious Indoctrination in the US Military (w/ Mikey Weinstein) - YouTube
Ellatynemouth comments on Jun 28, 2018:
And there's nationalism indoctrination within the military too. No one is going to join the military with the expectation of being killed for no glory. So glory is sold to the personnel. If they get injured and return home however; they'll soon find out what their government really thinks about ...

@Matias Thank you for your input.
Someone just stated that those without religion amounts to 23% of the population in the USA.
jlynn37 comments on Jun 24, 2018:
Theist's dogma requires that non-believers be reviled, ostracised, even killed. Theists just do what their authority figures tell them to do.

SimonCyrene comments on Jun 25, 2018:
A difficult hypothetical question to answer. What interests me about your proposal is, who would replace us as the dominant predator. Humans are the dominant predator at the moment (we just have different methods of killing). The circumstances of our extinction would be a huge factor. A cataclysmic ...

I would hope they would be more intelligent than us. We are kind of disappointing.

Intelligence surrounds us, but I'm not convinced that we are all that intelligent, we're just a bunch of stupid monkeys with guns ;-)

are you afraid of death?
Denker comments on Jun 19, 2018:
It seems unlikely. If you look at the history of the idea there are all sorts of afterlives, which become progressively more benign, until the new age versions have entire "soul families" floating in an afterlife and doing a dance of incarnation after incarnation. It's a beautiful fantasy but merely...
jlynn37 replies on Jun 24, 2018:
There is no evidence of an afterlife and no reason to believe it other than wishful thinking.

Not in the least! With what's going on in the world today, I almost welcome it......though I prefer it come to Trump and his cronies first.

SkotlandSkye comments on Jun 24, 2018:
I truly stand behind my ethics....from being Vegan to supporting the Libertarian Party. I believe in the rights of ALL Earthlings to live as they see fit and have control over their own lives (so long as they harm no others in any manner). Harm None. Ahimsa.

"(so long as they harm no others in any manner)" is the caveat.

i am not apathetic to the harm these beliefs cause. i have never seen a case where someones belief in the unfounded god nonsense, did not effect our world in some way. who they vote for, how they go about researching. or research at all. i find most to be lazy thinkers. the organized religions, are ...

Jnei comments on Jun 24, 2018:
There are thousands of documented sightings, pictures and videos, mostly easily available on the internet, of Mickey Mouse. Must we therefore assume he's real, too? I am of the opinion that life probably does exist out there beyond the Earth, somewhere. Whether or not any of it is capable of ...

Ok, I have two questions! No hostile answers please! 1. Define a Liberal?
Akfishlady comments on Jun 23, 2018:
Very simply put. Liberal is open (to change, diversity, personal growth, immigration, taxes to help those in need and more) Conservative is closed (to change, diversity, personal growth unless it means the bottom line, opinions that don't match their own, etc.) I think there is a great amount ...

Got to keep the natives stirred up so they will not notice religion and corruption creeping in and taking over.
Just another thought in passing.
jlynn37 comments on Jun 23, 2018:
I agree with most of what you have stated. I believe Confucius may have been the first to record a version of the golden rule. The golden rule has it's flaws as some may not want to be treated the way you want to be treated. The silver rule is much more powerful; do NOT do to anyone that which you ...

@evidentialist There is also the "Platinum Rule"; Treat others the way THEY want to be treated. Big difference there.

AmelieMatisse comments on Jun 23, 2018:
If he would say that he was going up in the first ship to be emperor of outer space I'd be clapping. You are right, it would be all money in contracts to friends. Our country has completely gone off the rails.
jlynn37 replies on Jun 23, 2018:
"it would be all money in contracts to friends. Our country has completely gone off the rails.", this country has been that way since WWll and Eisenhower warned us about it. Trump is just taking it to the next level of corruption.
