  1. ***** Your stereotype of Asians having poor eyesight is what is racist, same with assuming they're all using screens more than anybody else. Sonar is still not electronic, this is not up for debate. EMF does not dehydrate cells, that is a lie.  Steam comes out of cooked food due to the intense heat, not because of EMF.  This can be proven by cooking food over a fire. You do not know anything about electricity, so do not pretend to know something about astrophysics.

  2. ***** Holywood does not hire electrical engineering consultants for movies.  Holywood is infamous for getting basic science and history wrong so that their movies can be more wild and exciting. You already knew this, and yet you're pretending it's not true.  Why? I was of course aware of what the Schumann resonance was, and that the Earth has its own magnetic field.  I was poking fun at your utter ignorance of electromagnetism, that is all.  You're the guy who thinks electricity works by "sucking electrons out of nearby atoms", which is hilarious.

  3. ***** This is what you wrote: "All electronics steal electrons from their environment" Yeah, you said it.  And you think we can't all scroll up and read it. I'm the loser?  You're the one that would rather learn everything from movies before even looking at a textbook.  Have fun not understanding anything in your life I suppose.

  7. Number of children people have correlates strongly with child mortality So reduce infant deaths = reduce population growth

  10. The only reason he's a candidate is because he was famous. Famous because of the media. And he has big money. It's basically the same imo

  11. The kid asking the question specifically said the term "super-entity", how is Bill the asshole for running with that? And did you really need to waste time inventing a bunch of lies about what he hasn't read or thought? No celebrity who makes their atheism well-known hasn't heard heard about the "ways of living" or "centuries of thought", or hasn't been targeted for "education" on what faith is. You're literally making that up, as if there's anybody here who will believe you.

  12. But the erosion of western liberal values predates the influx of muslim immigration, how can you blame neocons on Islam?

  13. CNN is not left wing though?

  15. There isn't a study on this, but it is known that the CC has tried to reduce condom use in various countries. Of course, that necessarily must have had some sort of effect.

  17. Torture is wrong > Defending use of torture is wrong > Christians necessarily define torture inflicted on unbelievers as morally right > Therefore Christianity is wrong

  18. America doesn't have leftists, so nice job triggering foreigners who don't care about what you do? I guess?

  19. Namedrop all you like, it doesn't change science.

  20. Thomas Kelly I'm referring to the more personal "Yeah, I have an actual relationship with Christ" context.  I don't doubt that you've heard it, I'm just saying that where I live, this isn't how Christians conduct themselves.
    1
  21. ***** So everybody who doesn't think the way you think, is just being selfish?  That's absolutely disgusting.  I'm glad real Christians are nothing like yourself.

  22. ***** Considering how your own egoism only grows, and you completely fail to see it, I'd be concerned you're not actually drifting further from the God you claim to be personally connected to.

  23. ***** I mean I've already done into great detail, your arrogance has been challenged at every step by me.  Yet apparently you'd prefer to ignore my comments. Your lack of self-awareness only makes you seem like more of a fake to be honest, suffice it to say you'll never convert anybody.
    1
  24. ***** Now you're pretending I never said any of the things I said, despite the fact everybody here can scroll up and read what I wrote.  If you have to resort to such desperate lies, that doesn't make you appear to be too confident in your words. As I've already explained, there's no arrogance in being a non-believer.  "Let God decide"?  But you just got finished telling us that people are the ones making the descision to believe.  Could you possibly go just one post without contradicting yourself?  How am I meant to take the testimony of somebody so unreliable seriously?  Have you considered that your antisocial manner is just going to put people off?
    1
  25. ***** You haven't been accused of anything you haven't clearly demonstrated. Your religion is still a religion, blurring the definition of the word "relationship" cannot change that.  Like I said, the "not a religion" meme is cookie-cutter apologetics. You claimed that only people who try to know God will meet him.  In other words, the onus is on them.  In other words, it's up to them if they believe or not.
    1
  26. ***** Sorry, but you do not get to debate the definitions of words with me.  The English language is defined by common usage, and can be referenced with a dictionary if you have trouble remembering.  You're not being honest by pretending one word means something else. As I've already explained, it's all there in my other posts.  You can pretend it's not, but you're only fooling yourself.  Nobody else is falling for it.
    1
  27. ***** And yet, everything you write falls into the domain of religion.  A personal relationship where one party does not speak to the other is not really a relationship. None of my previous comments were rebuked.

  28. ***** You keep referring to interaction, but you refuse to elaborate on any of these supposed interactions.  Do you actually converse with god?  As has already been explained, you're not in a position to call me arrogant.

  29. ***** I'm not talking about if Jesus was mentally ill though, I'm talking about you specifically.  If you are hallucinating, then you need to seek help.  There are a lot of people who ended up being sectioned because they are a danger to themselves and to other people, and a few of those people were claiming that they were merely doing what God said. What you say about every monastery is not true.  Monks don't real with demons and angels.  If those beings were running rampant on earth, why would they confine themselves to quiet places like that?  It makes no sense.
    1
  30. ***** Demons are certainly not ruling the world, as evidenced by the fact that life is getting better and better instead of worse and worse. You can pretend that ancient deites are just angry angels if you like (instead of just believing that they aren't real) But how do you justify claiming that Star Wars is based on the spirit realm?  Pretty sure George Lucas wasn't mentioned in the Bible, where did you get this information from?
    1
  31. ***** But there was more destruction and suffering in the past, why are they reducing it? It's a stretch to say that Star Wars is spiritual because it uses the old "good against evil" trope.  So how about the tooth fairy?  That's just a story for kids, there's no deep meaning behind it.

  32. ***** Antidepression pill use is actually a good thing, since before they were invented Finns would simply kill themselves.  Before, there were not even any police to call. I can't help but notice it's the countries that dropped religion the most that are currently treating humans the best.  It's almost like ditching a religion that claims all people to be evil and all desires to be evil is for the greater good.

  33. I hate to play the arrogant european role (nah I love it tbh) but it's not possible for Americans to have a conversation about race, because they generally have zero idea about what that word means.

  34. Alright "predescessors" then, if it makes you feel any better Also it's hilarious to get called racist by an American. Woo, sure showed me buddy

  35. >American spelling >Red and white flag >Maple leaf HMM NOT AMERICAN YOU SAY

  36. Canada? That country that exists in..North AMERICA right?

  37. To sum it up: The point was that as a cultural American, maybe you're not in a great position to lecture others on "bad cultures".

  38. How in the blue fuck do you get "confederacy was bad" to marxism? Did Marx weigh in on this at some point?

  39. Swearing is not inherently childish, and is a significant part of many dialects and languages throughout the world. An independent thinker would have known this, and not accepted the old "swearing is always bad" mantra you learned in Sunday School. So between the two of us, who looks to be indoctrinated here the most? Anyway, you still haven't answered my question. America is not a nation that has ever had any involvement with Marxism, it's one of the most far-right countries in the western world. So to claim that somehow secret Marxists snuck into the history book offices and somehow changed them all is a little suspicious. If they could act with such impunity, your society would be very different from what it is.

  40. No, there are very few actual Communists in America, and even less in positions of power. Even hinting at being leftwing spells the death of your political career in some states. John Stormer wrote his books during the Red Scare, a time when crying wolf was a profitable way to make money. Over fifty years on we know he's wrong, because if there had been a hint of truth to any of that, America would have lost the cold war, and it wouldn't be the far-right nation it is today. Remember all the predictions he made about communists taking over? None of them came true right? So he's wrong. As for swearing, here's the final word on the matter. It's not up for debate: You complain about logical fallacies, yet you are unable to provide a single logical reason as to why swearing is wrong, other than "people will think you are immature". But from my perspective, anybody who judges me in such a manner is stunted, and their approval wouldn't mean a thing to me anyway. Some people look down on me for swearing, some people look down on me because of my accent, it's all the same thing: People will try desperately to discredit you for superflous reasons.

  44. He's got a point but it's more complicated that "humans aren't monogamous". Some people want somebody different every week, other people would prefer the same person every week.

  45. Experiment, Obserbation and THEN deduction. I think?

  46. I have a serious dislike for Trump. My government decides to put up a windfarm, and what does he do? Threaten legal action. Against a country he doesn't live in. And now he's started dropping these architectual abortions around the place, I thought you could buy style?

  47. Even if randomness exists, this does not undermine determinism whatsoever. Surely even this guy could have worked that one out.

  50. @EpicSojourn Or maybe the video presents a poorly thought out message that people do not like. He's not just voicing his opinion, he's making factual errors.
