@crimschris@RaithRoguestar@AtheistTakes An armed society is required to stand up to an oppressive government. Without guns, your government can remove your rights completely unopposed. You are completely defenseless. If you think your government would NEVER do such a thing, then you are a fool.
@crimschris@RaithRoguestar@AtheistTakes The CLOUD Act still requires law enforcement to get a warrant or subpoena. Termination from employment is a thing EVERYWHERE. People don't have to get healthcare through their employer. Houses can be taken to repay debt because houses are assets.
@crimschris@RaithRoguestar@AtheistTakes You see our justice system through a narrow tunnel. The common man scores victories all the time. A man here in America once used the local sheriff's department to seize A BANK until they repaid their debt to him because our laws are not so oriented towards guarding the wealthy.
@crimschris@RaithRoguestar@AtheistTakes Can you openly carry a gun on the street? Are restrictions on your speech limited ONLY to slander, threats, and incitement to violence? What are the FURTHEST LIMITS of your individual rights? That's how you determine whether you're freer than another place. You're not freer.
@crimschris@RaithRoguestar@AtheistTakes Article 10 of the EU Convention on Human Rights allows the EU to censor speech on the grounds of hate speech and to "protect public morals/public health." That's a pretty dystopian reduction of individual rights.
@YawenCh69@RaithRoguestar@AtheistTakes Religion contains a set of values. You've failed to recognize that by dismissing the whole thing as "believing in magic." Atheism, by itself, has no set of values. Now, spirituality is a choice. Nobody is forcing it on you. Secularism, however, leads to more crime.
@crimschris@RaithRoguestar@AtheistTakes Less individual rights, less innovation, more bureaucracy, more overregulation, fewer people capable of defending themselves against criminals.
@AtheistTakes Religion contains a set of values. Where do you get YOUR values? Marxism? Yourself? What happens when YOU are not a decent human being? You don't get to scapegoat religion for it. You have only yourself to blame.
@SumerSoldier@JillFilipovic When the Muslims' first civil war was over, they turned their attention to Europe, and devoted all of their efforts to conquering it because it wasn't muslim. Remember that? Remember muslims trying to conquer Constantinople for 800 years before finally succeeding?
@maziehirono How? You need an ID to buy alcohol, buy tobacco, buy a firearm, board a plane, get a bank account, so why not for voting? Your voters have ID, right? Unless you're uncomfortable with the prospect that it would shave off votes from some people who aren't eligible to vote.
@realCarola2Hope Why would I date a woke woman? She'd despise me, have no respect for me or our relationship, and constantly be seeking conflict. I want nothing to do with that. I can't build a relationship and raise a family with a woman like that.
@AlexPolmer You get a month, but whine all year long while governments and industries across the world pander to you and put you on everything. You're mainstream. You're the establishment. Stop pretending to be a victim.
@thatdayin1992 Their home countries' governments just make poor decisions. They flee their countries instead of trying to make them better. It's not America's fault.
@MasterMaliq Muhammad was a pedophile. Islam is a violent, intolerant religion that spreads through hatred and domination. That is its truth. It has built no great civilizations. It creates nothing.
