    Cops Thought They Killed the Security Cameras—Then They Ate the Pot

    I think the problem is that with the increased frequency of these types of incidents we should be seeing cops standing together in denouncing corruption, brutality, and bringing these 'bad Apples' to account- instead we see cops covering for cops, extreme hesitation to hold cops accountable for...

    Atheism is a religion [W:1586,2242]

    The funniest thing about this thread is that the human mind is a complex and dynamic maelstrom of infinite variables that shifts and changes as time passes. We identify as one thing, yet in time our actions betray our original identity, and we either shed the original ideology that fueled our...

    Too much hatered against Muslims

    It isn't the mainstream media- just Fox and their cohorts who blanket all Muslims as evil.

    Why Hillary Clinton and her rivals are struggling to grasp Black Lives Matter

    Please explain your position. Explain the increase in risk. Explain the stance that Iran is more likely after the deal to obtain nuclear capabilities. Otherwise, You are arguing for the sake of arguing. Outline your position or stop.

    PP and illegal sale of fetal body parts

    Yup. That's the video I was referring to in my last post to. Sounds bad in the video. I'm not sure if we saw the entire unedited version if it would help their case or not.

    Why Hillary Clinton and her rivals are struggling to grasp Black Lives Matter

    Huh? The Iran deal limits their enrichment capabilities to under medical grade- it disallows their procurement of the necessary hardware to build nuclear weapons, it allows us to closely monitor their 2 mines from which plutonium is gathered... how does this deal increase the likelihood they...

    PP and illegal sale of fetal body parts

    This whole case is intriguing to say the least. The videos seem to clearly show a discussion where the woman from PP discusses both the altering of the abortion procedure to increase successful harvest of specific tissue and the subsequent sale of said 'tissue'(filling of the orders for the...

    Atheism is a religion [W:1586,2242]

    Yes... It's strange isn't it? It's natural and unavoidable to have faith. You'd think it was a dirty word the way they avoid it!

    Atheism is a religion [W:1586,2242]

    Also- when I spoke on faith beginning It was about choosing to believe based on experience. You can also choose not to believe based on experience, and a different system of beliefs that relies on faith is born.

    Atheism is a religion [W:1586,2242]

    There's nothing wrong with wishful thinking. Imagination often leads us to new and innovative advancements. Religion has done more good than bad by far. For millennia justifications have been culled from ideological sources in order to propagate war and suffering- religion being one such...

    Atheism is a religion [W:1586,2242]

    That's exactly the point- the only way we get "more substantial evidence" is in experiential form. It is experienced first-hand and then faith begins. Testimonials cannot convince, they only convey. The decision to believe or discount is just that- a decision, and it is made by taking a leap of...

    Atheism is a religion [W:1586,2242]

    Anecdotal evidence is all we have. I know, and it's frustratingly weak. The only thing that changes a person faith is personal experience, and then they have anecdotal evidence that no one else will find as impactful. It's a weirdly ironic thing how faith happens. But to discount the...

    Atheism is a religion [W:1586,2242]

    When one cannot know definitively one way or the other a leap of faith is required for a belief to exist either way. Many Atheists act as assured of the validity of their position as a fundamantalist. Both cannot know empirically so both act on beliefs. To be fair their are many who...
