Very well said. That pretty much sums up my philosophies (a combination of Existentialism and Ethical Hedonism) as well. Our lives have no predetermined grand destiny. But that means we can give our own lives and those of our fellow beings whatever meaning we want to give them. And, to me at least, the most meaningful thing one can do is to be as happy with life as possible and to spread as much happiness as possible.

Also, my condolences. I know what it’s like to lose a beloved pet.

everything is meaningless “and you’d better live with it.”

For the quadrillionth time, Ham, that is NIHILISM you're talking about. That has NOTHING to do with evolution OR atheism.

And quite frankly, as an Existentialist, yes, I agree that there is no grand design to anything. Maybe there is a supreme deity or maybe there isn’t. But the lack of a predetermined goal to life is a GOOD thing, because that means we can CHOOSE what we want to be. We can give our own lives meaning.

parents want to adopt children because of “a kind of genetic mistake.”

What? What does this even mean?

when you die, there is no afterlife and “you’re going to rot in the ground”?

You do realize that atheists can believe in an afterlife, right? And that Christians can believe in evolution as well, right? Besides, what’s so terrible about a lack of afterlives anyway? It just means the life we DO have is that much more precious and important.

…You know, considering how Ham lies nonstop with every breath he takes, are we SURE he worships YWHW instead of the “Prince of Lies”?

Quite a lot of them rethink their position later, because they were convinced the the change was worthwhile after all, because they decided it’s not worth taking sides, or because they decided that the change was inevitable and their input and/or participation would serve as damage control

“Then they came for me. And by then, noone were left who wanted or dared to object.”

Fact. Yet still not mentioned in news. Why?

Because it’s only fact in the alternate reality you want to replace reality with after winning your war against reality, WAR!

Everything is a conspiracy and always the Jews at fault to you isn’t it Ben… Even when it doesn’t make a lick of sense at all…

Also, now you’re starting to incorporate the same sovereign citizens bullshit? why I’m not surprised given how the precursor to that was made by a bunch of racist shitheads trying to do everything in their power to change back society to a era they want, which is to say, pre-civil war where African Americans were slaves.

The only difference is that unlike LGBTQ kids, black ones don't have to come out to their parents. But discrimination against them is the same attitudes, as Coretta Scott King rightly pointed out.

Also like relations between black and white lovers, in some places, it was a crime for consenting adults to get it on if they were both homosexual men - until quite recently.

You have to have a god in order for your life to have meaning? Evolution doesn’t mean life is meaningless. It means that life exists on its own without the help or existence of a deity. You can take whatever meaning you want out of it. I don’t believe life was created by a deity. But I do believe my life has meaning because I make it have meaning. I devote my time to things that matter and have meaning to me.

My pet rat passed away a few days ago. I tried my best to make his life as good as it could be, and to let him know he is loved. While my life or his life may not “mean” a whole lot in the great scheme of things, we both meant a lot to each other. And that’s really all we can ask for in this world. Regardless of fame, fortune, celebrity, existence of deities, whatever, I think the greatest meaning we can get is in how we affect the lives of others.

Women being allowed control over our own bodies is not a fucking genocide. I’m assuming that’s what dude is talking about, because otherwise I have no clue.

The Sphinx is an Anubis

Anubis is one specific god of the underworld, who took the form of a jackal (although through genetics, we now know that species of jackal to actually be a species of wolf) or of a man with said jackal’s head. A sphinx, meanwhile, is a general motive in Egyptian art that is a lion with the head of something else, most commonly humans (androsphinges), falcons (hieracosphinges) and rams (criosphinges).

Such a short sentence, such fractal wrongness.

So the planet Earth is a computer with 3 CPUs? That really doesn’t sound like something special.

Judge Anna Von Reitz #crackpot #wingnut #conspiracy

Wanting government to be like a business, I’ve heard about. But this sounds like she thinks governments (and with my luck all organizations) are businesses, likely just from (alleged) human nature.

I already suspect she’s a minarcho-right-libertarian.

“You realise that silencing anyone who doesn't share your 100% evidence-free, taken on faith beliefs …?”

OR, you could look into the actual research which is older than both of us.
Insisting that there’s NO evidence puts you right up there with Young Earth Creationists, Flat Earthers, and the people still harping on Obama’s birth certificate: Willfully Dumb-As-Rocks.

Even the most hardline, fundamentalist Christians, Muslims or Scientologists aren't AS authoritarian and intolerant as you're being (by silencing non-believers

The core fundamentalists of those faiths make canceling people look like a joke. The hard line Christians and Muslims have resorted to mass killing people who disagree with their faith. The Scientologists have not gone that far only because they have not had the power, being limited to brutal harassment for the most part.

Everything in your world is a fraud. I recommend you cut off all contact with others and move to an isolated shack in a remote state. At least it will be better for the rest of us that way.

The word pyramid means fire in the middle

Only in Modern English, from "pyre" a heap of wood for burning a dead body, and "amid" in the middle of. The word "pyramid" itself is Latin, from Greek "puramis, puramid".

But of course the people who built the pyramids didn't speak Greek, Latin, or Modern English. So this is all pointless.

@JeanP #195822

Nn, I just have trouble with the idea that True Men™️ need to be cruel to someone, anyone, as some odd sort of existential need. As well as how deeming anyone an outlaw in the Old English sense was right and just.

Was it that hard to consider even the possibility of authoritarianism and impunity as aberrations?

@Skyknight #195750
But the receiving man would be dishonored, through no fault of his own. (Last I checked, strength and morality don’t intersect like that.) Not exactly a net gain in honor for the community

Not an issue if these “lesser” men are chosen either among outcasts of the given society (prostitutes, poors, slaves) or outright outsiders (foreigners).

Much like these dictatorships who, in the long term, obtain worse outcomes because the guys at the help get told what they want and not what they need because they view the blunt truth as sedition if it doesn’t agree with their vision.

Sean Hannity #wingnut

Hard to tell how much of this is parroting and how much of this is a purposeful effort to throw a big wrench in the gears by ensuring that there will be no such thing as an untainted jury in this trial or any future one. That probably wouldn’t actually cancel any of his trials, but would likely result in endless delays and appeals, dragging things on indefinitely.

Bacon Sarny-Geddon #transphobia #dunning-kruger

You're not silenced. You're completely free to spout your assholery. You just can't stop everyone else from knowing you're an asshole.

Sean Hannity #wingnut

Sean is for doxing the jurors if they aren't pro Trump. I mean it's hard to find jurors for the trial as it's such a volatile situation as well as how polarising he is there are those who just want him in prison and others who just want him free. This makes it hard to find jurors. Not to mention there is prestige with the cases Trump is facing so they may want that too

same-SEX attracted homoSEXuals (note how that has NEVER been "same GENDER attracted homoGENDERuals")

Nobody uses “homosexual” anymore. They just say gay or queer or same-gender attracted. Laws using outdated language don’t define the current cultural zeitgeist. Though thanks for the reminder that we need to eventually update the legal language, it’s just not a high priority at the moment.

Only half kidding. While exaggerated, as not everyone has been keeping pace with the gradual language shifts, I hope it won’t be too long before we can legitimately say something like this.

That may alliw them to be more aware as adults how easily those freedoms can be taken and whom to watch for.

As to OP, I get impression she just wants to have it affect trans but the others are collateral damage or deserve it

And TERFs will sing her fucking praises

Even the most hardline, fundamentalist Christians, Muslims or Scientologists aren't AS authoritarian and intolerant as you're being (by silencing non-believers, if they don't affirm your evidence-free beliefs as "truth", by submitting to use of compelled, wrong-sex pronouns. Enforcing a scenario where only those who share/PRETEND to share your inherently homophobic, misogynist religious beliefs, have the ability to speak/be heard)

This fucking says it all. Either OP is a pick me, stupid or is a-ok with those that ACTUALLY want to have unbelievers at best be second class while trans people just want to fucking live.

This reminds me of Hannah Pearl Davis (AKA Just Pearly Things) who is a youngish tradwife (currently age 28) who insists that feminism is based on a lie because women have had full legal rights since at least medieval times, have also been more powerful socially and politically than men because of Chivalry, and all sorts of other ahistorical nonsense. She weirdly seems to imply that her husband is basically her slave because he supports her economically, though hasn’t said so outright that I’m aware of.

This isn’t entirely comparable (see what I did there?) because the OP presumably isn’t themselves gay (though it’s entirely possible, just a bit weird, for them to be so) but there’s a similar “mistaking relatively recent developments for having always been true, because I’ve never experienced anything else” vibe going on here.

Is South Carolina ready for a remake of the Nullification Crisis? At least, the first one was about tariffs which were at odds with its economic system while the current one is about stupid culture war.

The court is bending WAY over backwards to find a fair jury for Bonespurs.
They don’t have to find one that lauds him or even likes him. The questionis, can you weigh the facts presented honestly.

I mean, i dislike the traitorous draft-dodging fuckknuckle, but i took an oath to support the constitution. Part of which says he’s entitled to a fair trial. So it’s not whether he deserves trial as much as whether the prosecution can prove he deserves trial.
We cannot let the Orange Twatwaffle’s legacy be that we become a nation of partisans incapable of putting our politics before our responsibilities in such a task. I would take the oath to try him fairly, despite the risk that comes just from being on the jury.
You, and Donald, however, want to move the venue to one where you get a higher number of partial jurors that favor him. Which is not how the system’s supposed to work.

Zachriel #transphobia #wingnut

As a general rule, moderates are those who aren’t strongly advantaged nor disadvantaged by the status quo, and don’t have philosophical or economic reasons to favor change. They don’t like upheaval even when they’re unlikely to lose out in any way, because it’s uncomfortable. And even then, most are fine with very gradual change so long as it doesn’t cause issues for them. I’m not saying all moderates are like this, just the ones who have no strong personal reasons to be otherwise. Thus they tend to strongly favor the side of “no upheaval”, which more often means conservatives, though contrary to what the OP states, can also mean liberals.

…To begin with. Quite a lot of them rethink their position later, because they were convinced the the change was worthwhile after all, because they decided it’s not worth taking sides, or because they decided that the change was inevitable and their input and/or participation would serve as damage control.

So it’s not nearly so simple as “moderates always side with conservatives in the end” or “liberals always rebel”.

“Is it perhaps because evolution does not have a scientific or logical leg to stand on,”
Evolution is full up on science.
If you’re find it illogical, you may be using an inaccurate description of evolution to analyze logically. Like throwing in abiogenesis or the Big Bang, or a strawman of either.
I mean if you start with the misunderstanding that Big Bang Theory states that everything came from nothing, or the idea that evolution is completely random, then you’re just poisoning the well irresponsibly, and your conclusions can’t count for shit.

"and that the more knowledgeable evolution adherents KNOW THAT”
Ah, so once more, evolution is a BIG CONSPIRACY. So big it’s got all biologists included. And an entire host of other specialities that either depend on the ToE are back it up.
So many conspirators that it moves from ‘a conspiracy’ to ‘the state of affairs.’ Then why bother to flog it?

“and only adhere to it because they prefer its MORAL implications?”
Evolutionary theory offers no moral implications, no more than any other science such as the speed of light propagation through a vacuum, or the ‘holes flow’ theory of electricity, or the gravitational effects of the Moon upon Earth’s tides.
Dishonest creationists insist that it’s a godless science, but all science is secular by its very nature. They’re all neutral on the subjects of gods.

So, as stated above: No.
Longer answer: Fuck no.
