The only smart thing he ever did was to be born into a wealthy family.

People are just going to buy what they can and it's up to manufactures to provide affordable packaging that is environmentally friendly.

Exactly. A simple zoom call would suffice.

If a church takes its parishioners money and spends it on fancy buildings and fountains and the preacher is wearing fancy suits instead of putting those donations back into the community I like to imagine sky daddy's thumb coming out the clouds and smooshing that building. In America some of the churches that televise their worship pay professional singers to sing in their choirs. My cousin is an opera singer in LA, that was a good regular income for him. Meanwhile preachers in Africa sell their own holy 'elixirs' they promise cure all ailments out of their churches after their service...

I struggle to comprehend that people take Qanon seriously.

Politicians just need to be likeable. Elections are literally popularity contest, and that's only on the surface. In the US, it's established that winning the popular vote doesn't determine the presidency. Still go out and vote, but know one of the things you need to vote towards is de-corrupting the US government.

You have Moron-orrhea. Incurable and there's no treatment for that. Best to live your days far away from society so you don't infect others.

In the 60s when I was a kid it was more common to see people who had been crippled by polio. Think Southpark "Jimmy" on those metal crutches and the Forest Gump leg braces.

What I find absolutely amazing is that now I can go into a place that doesn't require a mask and there will be people wearing a mask like this. It was bad enough that people worn them wrong when required, but wearing them wrong when they aren't required requires "flat Earth" level at stupidity!

The whole farce would have been laughable had it not been so severe for the downtown Ottawa residents. Never underestimate the potential damage of stupid.

Can't believe how many people idolize that pig -_-

This is literally describing capitalism. Is Scientology just capitalism with aliens?

The targeted advertisement to young and at risk people is worse IMO.

I would agree with the first statement, except that the victims of these "challenges" are mostly naive kids and kids are stupid. We all were. Maybe some were smart enough to know that detergent could hurt or kill you, but not smart enough to understand that cinnamon, despite being 'food," could actually suffocate you if inhaled. The idiots that promoted those challenges should have been prosecuted.

I think they took the 'climate also changes naturally' statement WAY out of context

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” - Asimov (It's statistically conservative governments that give rise to such movements)

You can use that footage to instantly put it on the internet and spread it, and even if you don't get it involved it be as good as a testimony. Also, in the US, those people beating up might have guns.

While at the same time believing he's a complete moron.

No, they're just a bit weirded out by you lurking next to the gate of a playground every day.

If they drank enough, it would, just not in the way they were thinking it would

I think it's a mental problem. I'm no psychiatrist but this mental issue screams for help

Should I believe this then? I are confused

they lied basically had big adverts saying we send 350 million to the EU and we can put that back into the NHS they played on peoples fears as well

I’m gonna pîss in some of my fellow atheists’ cornflakes: we have exactly the same capacity to be stupid, selfish, callous or idol-worshipping as religious people do, and I’ll take a humble religious person over the worst-behaved atheists any day.

Religion is fine. People forcing their beliefs onto others is not fine.

Religion can be a good thing, but only when it is something you do yourself and not force onto anyone.

Okay, guys, religion itself is not bad, it's the people that use it to justify hurting/judging/dismissing people. As an anthropologist that studies ancient religion, the concept has always been to help humans not feel alone and have a place to direct their gratitude for living. It evolved to becoming a guide for life and death for some, for others, it's the same as it started. Even the word 'religion' has different meanings in different cultures. Religion is basically Spirituality with tax exempt status in certain countries, otherwise it's just a way of life.

If there was undeniable evidence that God existed, everyone would believe in it. I honestly think this answers everything about religion.

Can people stop pedaling this notion that belief in a higher power equals moron? Some people act like they have solid proof that God doesn't exist and they have no idea how dumb and desperate they seem. I respect agnostics, admitting they just don't know one way or the other but to say with this unwarranted certainly that God doesn't exist and if you believe then you're an idiot? That is aggressive atheism and being cocky doesn't make you right. Why does it trigger anger in some people that others believe in God? Some atheists are pushier than some Jehovah's Witnesses. I have so much to say on this topic but I'll leave it at that.

Religion isn't a bad thing, as long as you don't let your beliefs justify any unjust or harmful actions. Sometimes, religion teaches people kindness and other virtues, while other times it just drives people insane. Your choice, religious or atheist, as long as you use your brain <3

Probably gonna get downvoted but religion is a perfectly fine thing. The vast majority of religious people I know are perfectly fine and act normal. The problem is the idiots who go around parading about how abortion is wrong and lgbtq+ is bad when theirs no problem. It’s the minority that ruins it for everyone, like how the idiot GOP backwater people, the correlation between GOP supporters and hyper religious people is very close. Also, megachurches are not religion, it’s a cult. You need to go to a real church.

Decapitation because of cartoon drawings of a "prophet" who never even existed? Where's that discussion? Or outrage? Or the violence when there's any mention of someone, usually a teacher (looking at you París) who upset a student, and is claimed to have drawn said picture. Oh, and by the way, all 5 "people" were basically given stern oral reprimand and then articles about "how will she (the student who accused her teacher, basically she is a petulant child who threw a tantrum, and got the man murdered) be able to grow up". F**k her. F**k the other teenage murderers. And f**k their "religion of tolerance". And f**k France for their pathetic laws and not protecting their citizens and public servants. F**K RELIGION.

I think it's stupid how athiests come to a conclusion and stick to it despite not knowing 100% whether it's true or not, much like the religious people they call stupid. Atheism is a belief system the same as any religion as it requires faith to believe it's correct while never being provable/disprovable.
