@Dabozz29 On the other hand, saying that these nationwide protests against racially-motivated police brutality that were sparked when a black man was murdered aren't about black lives? That's pretty fucking racist. #TuckerCarlsonIsARacist

@kingmobi_ @WajahatAli FUUUUUUUUUCK you, you goddamn child. Trump has been literally trying to prevent a ceasefire.

@WajahatAli My appetite was ruined by the actual genocide and not the hypothetical one by trump

I was boldly optimistic and thought the margins would break for Harris giving her 300+. I underestimated my fellow Americans yet again. Alas people want the cruelty. Still, she needs 270. Don't give up, folks. It'll go down to the wire and the Rust Belt.

@RonFilipkowski A lot of talk, never any actual evidence.

America, can we please put an end to this insanity tonight?

@brandors98 @Ohshidash @grantkirkhope The word you're looking for is worldview, not religion. Your worldview is the sum total of your beliefs and perspectives of the world, hence the name. Your religion is the delineated code and beliefs that are held in common with other people.

@LaserSharkDFB @Ohshidash @grantkirkhope It just happens to be that multiple people can have personal religions that line up with other people's.

Ricky Gervais puts it best as always …. There’s around 3000 gods that people believe in, believers deny 2999, I just deny one more

@nycconservat @JGlassMin

@LaserSharkDFB @JGlassMin Apparently no one does considering it failed at the cost of 100+ million deaths repeatedly

Chose to Honor God and not Man today. Hate me if you want, but both candidates are for the murder of babies in the womb. Murder at full term and murder at 6 weeks is still murder. I don’t buy the lesser of two evils for a second. Text book False dichotomy. When given the choice between two evils choose neither. All man must do is obey God at all costs. Knowing that Christ is King and he is sovereign over kings and kingdoms, and he will only be pleased by faithful obedience. Thought @BenZeisloft brought up some great names so I followed suit and voted for my dudes @DustyDeevers and @bradleypierce Christ is King Gents

@nycconservat @JGlassMin It's funny because you don't even know what communism is. None of you ever do.

@LaserSharkDFB @JGlassMin Theoretical, there has never been a communist regime in history that wasn’t atheist.

@annielcrawford Naturalism. You are, at best, talking about naturalism, not atheism. And that just means until anything non-natural is demonstrated, there is no reason to believe it exists.

Atheism is a Procrustean worldview. It simply cuts off any parts of reality that will not fit within its limited paradigm and it stretches the quality of matter to fit its needs. If consciousness cannot be explained by molecules in motion, it will simply cut it out of existence. If we need morality to make the scientific endeavor work, then it will stretch the capacities of material evolution to justify it. (The genes *want* to survive!) It keeps the world small enough to be grasped and reason inflated enough to do the grasping.

@brandors98 @Ohshidash @grantkirkhope Then not believing in vampires is also a religion. Believing in the sun is a religion. Believing or not believing anything is a religion. Your definition of religion is stupid and useless.

@Ohshidash @grantkirkhope Seeing as religion/cults require worship and worship is formed from one's devotion to a concept. Ergo, the belief of Atheism is a religion in of itself.

Please, yes. Everyone who wants to ban abortion should vote for (checks) Dusty Deevers and not Donald Trump.

@JGlassMin Communism comes with state enforced atheism, never forget that.

@warmone1too @AaronParnas How anti-American do you have to be to get this mad at people voting?

@AaronParnas Indoctrinated Fools of Fake News. Atheism?

Students are voting. Kamala Harris is going to win.

@Manfredi_piano @_PSSD @GarbageHuman24 Or how conversations work, apparently.

@LaserSharkDFB @_PSSD @GarbageHuman24 The evolution of America was described by a statesmen like Clemenceau: "America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization"

Iceland has one of the lowest crime rates in the world because they’re atheists. That’s the one and only reason. 🤣

@IanManion777 @darwintojesus Hey, dumbass. If most atheists don't think atheism directly leads to nihilism, maybe it actually DOESN'T. Did you ever think of that?

@darwintojesus Atheism = nihilism and yet it’s like pulling teeth to get any of them to admit it. It’s like it’s never occurred to them before. It’s frankly scary how many grown adults have never sat and thought.

If atheism is true, then: •There’s no reason for our existence •There’s no right and wrong •There’s no meaning •There’s no free will Yet most atheists are obsessed with politics, as if any of it actually matters. Why is that?

@Manfredi_piano @_PSSD @GarbageHuman24 One more in the "evolution denier that doesn't know what a theory is" column.

@_PSSD @GarbageHuman24 And are judged by God. The alternative (the evolutionary theory) is still a theory after 150 years, even more absurd than the false (man made) religions. Mass atheism is also the root of the current plagues, like 3rd world immigration into Europe and even th US

@KnobTwirler @KamalaHQ I feel sorry for your child, to have such a stupid and intolerant father. No difference between you and the "girl dad" who kicks her out because she's gay or because she's dating a black guy.

Trump is babbling complete nonsense “Hopefully they'll be able to get these expensive computers going. You know, the reason you use computers is to make time so that it's like fast. You don't use them so that you have to come up with an answer three days later. And that's a little scary when they say what, what are they doing? You use a computer because it calculates quickly and you use paper because you save cost, but the paper turns out to be much quicker than the computer”

@MrEncouragement @Chappie_DLS @Emerald_Rose0 @smashbaals Also, let's say I grant that rape is always 100% wrong, and everybody ever has known this. How does that get us to ALL moral questions having an objective answer?

You're not arguing that YOU believe that rape is wrong. You're arguing that people MAY or MAY NOT believe rape is wrong, it's up to them to decide, yet somehow, revulsion at rape is also coded in our genetics. Your argument contradicts itself. The victim of rape lacks: 1. Freedom of will to participate in rape, 2: Moral agency to decide whether to be raped or not. The victim of rape is harmed as a result of the rape. No rape occurs where the above conditions are not met. A person's belief about whether or not these conditions are met is irrelevant. They are objectively real conditions of a rape. They are objectively harmful. They violate the person's autonomy. They are less than the greatest possible good. Rape therefore is objectively wrong.

Some people shouldn’t have the right to vote.

@MrEncouragement @Chappie_DLS @Emerald_Rose0 @smashbaals You're listing a standard for why rape is wrong. What's your evidence that every single person throughout history shared that same standard? Do you have any idea how recent women's rights are? For much of history, rape was pretty much a property crime, nothing to do with consent.

Hey, @FedEx , I just received a delivery at my workspace, and the driver told me I had to PRINT my name rather than enter my signature. WTF? And no, I'm not talking about typing in my name, I had to do that too. And your customer service line is dogshit, so here we are.

@notcapnamerica MASK BAD

What is this supposed to mean?

@MrEncouragement @Chappie_DLS @Emerald_Rose0 @smashbaals You are arguing that rape is always wrong. I am arguing that I BELIEVE rape is always wrong, but not everyone throughout history has agreed with this. Where is your evidence that those who disagree somehow knew they were wrong?

Strawman is made of straw, man. Look, to be fair, I'm sure that's all you're hearing, because it's clear you're not getting some of the arguments. I've tried to make them clear. Maybe I have done a poor job. In philosophy and science, we're on a quest for truth. Our opinions don't matter. Truth matters. You can't make truth be what you want it to be. It's objective and independent of you. And so is morality. There's zero virtue in saying "Ghostbusters is the best movie ever made." Everyone has their own opinions, and when someone disagrees with you, you can politely disagree, but there's no objective reality that is shared. When someone says "Nope, Nosferatu was the best," their choice is as valid as yours. But rape -- yes, rape -- is wrong, and it's always wrong, and whether you're emotional or not about it, the victim of rape has neither the free will to participate nor the moral agency to consent to it, by definition. Objectively, the object of the rape is a victim. Whether or not you think rape is okay is completely irrelevant. Whether or not the rapist has made an excuse saying "She was asking for it," or "She was teasing me," or whether he admits straight out that he did it, it is wrong. And it's wrong NOT because the victim didn't like it or because some people think rape is good. It's wrong because it is harmful; it is less than the ultimate standard of the greatest possible good. There is no case in which rape is virtuous. I cannot believe you do not have the moral courage to say that is true -- but you don't. It is objectively wrong. And if you think that I'm wasting your time trying to get you to agree that rape is truly wrong and it's always wrong, then I consider my conversation with you a service to the community. Now that we've established that rape is objectively wrong and we know there are objective moral standards, it's easy to continue on to other moral atrocities like genocide and child abuse and wife beating and a whole host of other things which are objectively wrong. Your assertion -- that morality is subjective because people have different opinions -- is wrong. As I've explained and as you have done yourself, the fact that people know they have done wrong is what leads them to make excuses to say that objective morals didn't apply to them in their specific case. You would do well to read Nietzsche's treatise on morality and the death of God. He rightly argues that without God, all things are permissible. Nietzsche, an atheist, rightly connects objective morality with the existence of God. The theist connects objective morality with the existence of God, as well. Both of these positions are defensible. They make logical sense, but both cannot be right. The only position that's logically untenable, that cannot work in practical society is the idea that morality is subjective and it's up to each person to decide what morality means. That quickly leads to the lowest common moral denominator. A different opinion about a thing is not evidence that the thing doesn't exist.
