@AylorRon@MickMilee Agnosticism is the absence of religion.
Theists and atheists both have faith in something that cannot be proved.
There is a God
There is no God
Respectively.
@calvin33066 How is that possible? Aside from it making me the world’s greatest contortionist, wouldn’t F’n myself be an act in support of LGBTQIA+?
Well at last the G part.
@Vaesive_Plays@ItsLulu_7 As for the USA, as long as we keep our gun rights, then when employees are not needed because AI does all the work, then they’ll have to do something like UBI.
@Vaesive_Plays@ItsLulu_7 Minimum wage is well intentioned but ultimately cruel. It incentivizes employers to reject those most in need of a job - candidates with less experience, language fluency, education etc - by depriving them of their one labor market advantage - their willingness to work for less.
@barsoomian Let’s see…
Who do I trust more to use vast financial resources in a way that will improve all of our lives?
Billionaires?
or
The Government?
Answer: Billionaires. They invest wisely, that’s how they became billionaires.
Compare that to the national debt.
@LucifersTweetz Religion = I believe there is a God.
Religion = I believe there is no God.
The ideology that is not a religion is to be Agnostic - I don’t know if there is a God.
In fact, believing anything about the past is a religion, as we can’t prove anything in the past really happened.
@LucifersTweetz I guess you never watched Miracle on 34th Street. There is a Santa Clause - the judge said so. NASA also tracks his sleigh every year with radar.
@MasterMaliq Muslims believe God revealed himself to Mohammed.
Christians believe Jesus revealed himself to Paul
In both cases the writing that followed was guided by those revelations.
How is that different?
At least Paul wrote it himself rather than recite it for others to write.
@MasterMaliq Christ is not a name. It is a title meaning “the anointed one” or messiah.
Jesus Christ is shorthand for Jesus the Christ.
Christianity is not named after Jesus, but named to signify the belief that Jesus is the Christ.
@amelia_tweetz Saying “I will automatically do whatever government scientists or doctors tell me to do without hesitation” is like saying “I don’t have a brain”.
@HelenWebberley People expressing regret after knee surgery tend not to kill themselves.
Add post surgery suicides to post surgery expressions of regret to get a more accurate stat.
@razzli_ Language bullying made it a widespread issue. Be whatever you want. Call yourself whatever you want. I don’t need to know your pronouns unless we are friends.
I won’t start a battle over the definition of a woman. But if you start one I’ll engage with my opinion.
That’s how.
@antitheistdad Poor people pray to God.
God answers their prayers.
They become rich.
They get complacent and forget God
Their society declines
They become poor.
Poor people pray to God.
The high scoring nations are in the middle of the above.
