If the only things preventing you from harming others are the fear of punishment or the hope of reward, you're an amoral piece of shit with no right to pass judgment on the morality of others.

@AleMartnezR1 Those axioms all require the presupositions deontological morality, damnation, and the equating of disbelief with nihilism.

1. If nature is hopeless, then an optimistic atheist (hope that life and nature are good) has an internal incoherence.
2. If something has internal incoherence, then its worldview is false.
3. Nature is hopeless (in the absence of God)
Then, an optimistic atheist (life and nature are good) has an internal incoherence.
Therefore, an optimistic atheist´s worldview is false.

@QuestionAbyss I'm doing well. Thanks!
Death is simply a part of life. It's instinctive to stave it off, but being unavoidable, I don't dread it.
Instead, I focus on making the most of what limited time I do have.
English
Morning check in;
I hope everyone is doing well today.
Given that "The Void" is supposedly "made for us," why do we dread it more than all else?

@HunterBiden @fitscapades It was excellent. Thank you for sharing it.

@fitscapades Everyone should read every word of this as I have. This is it. This is why I came on this platform.

Things the recovery industry will not tell you:
1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure.
A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there.
The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists.
2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal.
3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops.
4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there.
5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page.
6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak.
7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes)
8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you.
9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in.
10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.

@TracketPacer It baffles me that adults still don't understand PEMDAS. 🤦♂️

@PlantRobinson @Rossmac212 The whole time I watched this video, I was expecting it to be a fail video with grease splashing on her or something.
I was wrong.
But good on her for making money as best she can, I guess.

Have you given up on any of your personal eccentricities since your youth?

@ArchTheAtheist @ChudTheBuilder Hey, don't forget the recipe for baking whole-grain bread over a brick of human excrement (Ezekiel 4).
That part, at least, is fully plausible.
English
@ChudTheBuilder Can we all stop acting like the Bible is anything more than mythical bullshit?

@QuestionAbyss Most algorithms are created specifically to drive engagement, and envy is one of the things that makes people engage, so... yes.
Welcome back, btw.

@SommelierOfSmut @SenatorBanks Not to mention, sex ed has been taught to 5th graders since before I was born.
I'm not young.
English
@SenatorBanks Children have sexual orientations and need to be educated to understand them.
English
You have to be 16 to drive.
You have to be 18 to vote.
You have to be 21 to drink.
You have to be 25 to rent a car.
Why are teachers talking to our kids about sexuality at 12?
Why are kids encouraged to mutilate their bodies at 13?
This gender ideology madness needs to end.

@WildBulldozer I have no idea! I fully agree, how can X just suspend accounts for no reason? That's crazy
English
Someone is reporting my account every day, must be the same person that suspended Gs account.
Hi stalker! You have no power here.

@yourunicorn42 @DocAtCDI My weird self noticed the way that her thumb isn't grasping the box, and the box edge is unfolded, decreasing the stability of the box, and it's about to spill donuts on the floor.
My dad radar is too strong.🤦♂️

@darkprof I have no interest in partaking in any event he's attached his name to.

It's your patriotic duty to ignore UFC 250 and any of the "bread and circus" distractions doled out by this corrupt tyrant.
P.S. Update, just the circus.

Apparently, what it took to get me to verify my account was having enough people thinking I'm a damn bot.
Ugh.

@MzSgtPepper When he mentions anyone by any means other than their name or a stupid nickname, he's talking about himself.
English
Most of us didn’t know he didn’t know that.
How can he be this DUMB??

@Eminentsdomain2 @ArchTheAtheist @KR3Wmatic Morality only requires the confluence of empathy and reason.
English
In a simple way, how do we know what morality is without God?
English
@NuckChorris16 @cadetkb @TimNoEgo For real, if there were a realistic way for me to help you, I would.
Do you need work? I know people who need devs. I'm not sure if they're looking for remote, but possibly?

@XXxxDrewCxxXX @iamAtheistGirl There is no gap.
Consciousness is a generative, emergent process of the way information is processed.
We overlook the process because we're in it. Persistence of Vision and Persistence of self are the same phenomenon.
We can even slow and/or disrupt the refresh rate.
English
Calling it an 'observation of self' is accurate, we both agree consciousness exists and you're made of the universe.
The issue isn't whether it exists. The issue is how purely physical, non-conscious processes (atoms → chemistry → neurons) produce subjective first-person experience (qualia).
That's not settled by observation. That's the hard problem of consciousness. Saying 'I'm part of the universe therefore naturalism explains it' still assumes the conclusion. What specific natural mechanism do you propose actually bridges that gap?
English
if there were irrefutable evidence for christianity i would absolutely accept it and no longer be an atheist
but i would never be a christian

@NuckChorris16 @cadetkb @TimNoEgo I'm so sorry you've been through those things.
I... don't even know what else to say.
