  1.  @alejandrocanela691  Same reason so many people wrote about King Arthur.

  2.  @williamjewell6247  lmao every nonbiblical source for jesus' existence only ever talks about the early christians and what they believed about Jesus. and the part in josephus which calls him a wise man has been concluded to be a likely later insertion by christians. i don't have to ignore anything because that "evidence" is weak at best.

  4.  @gonzalez92100  Would you accept that argument from anything else? What if I said communism can only truly be understood if you liked it already, so any refutation of it is invalid because they don’t “truly” understand communism?

  5. Art Irony I don’t like JP fans, but that’s a pretty low blow.

  6.  @ragephace  Prager U constantly minimises the climate crisis. They're not a good faith actor in that regard.

  8. Allah is the Arabic word for god. Muslims worship the same god as the Christians and the Jews, in fact Arab Christians also call him Allah.

  13.  @krashcash  Nobody is saying that plastics aren't ubiquitous. We either need to find a way to replace them, minimise their usage or discard them entirely, we don't have a choice here.

  14. Honestly I think the better and more honest answer is "I don't know, but here are where some people think we go" then list off a few religious interpretations of the afterlife. It's a proper answer that gets them thinking for themselves.

  15.  @fl3045  It's literally capitalism. A private company firing an employee for no apparent reason because they can.

  18. MrBobcattech You have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re just spouting talking points you’ve been fed

  19. MrBobcattech No-one on the left is attempting to use government power to censor political disagreement, and it wouldn’t even make sense for that to happen, considering the republicans are currently running the show. Those statues aren’t being destroyed, the ones that are actually historical at least, they’re being moved to museums to give appropriate context. The definition of words evolves all the time, why do you think dictionaries list multiple meanings for the same word?

  20.  @nathansmith7686  A historical Jesus probably existed, whether or not he was as the New Testament described is far less certain.

  21. 01100110 01110101 01110010 1. Multiple scientific consensus studies have been done, not a single one drops below 90%. It’s pretty clear climate change is manmade 2. Conservatives refuse to even discuss climate adaptation strategies. 3. Every single one of you cretins brings up global cooling or whatever - it’s an obscure hypothesis that was brought up in the 70s and blown up by the media, the only people who care about it are denialists like you. Science is designed to be challenged by other science, not by you sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming as loud as you can.

  22. You clearly weren’t committed to the position if you left because you were a little depressed. Christianity gives you a purpose, but because the church is run by men, you’re inherently giving yourself another man’s purpose and telling you it’s godly. I can’t think of anything more cucked than that.

  23.  @manoftruth0935  ...no they didn't. Marx's communism was meant to be stateless and moneyless, the USSR and its satellite states were neither.

  24.  @TechnologyImpossible  "liberty" never meant "being allowed to do literally whatever you want", even to conservatives. If it did, they'd have never banned psychadelics and cannabis.

  25.  @TechnologyImpossible  never said that, but conservatives love worshipping the state when it's run by incompetent right wingers ie past four years of mindless trump worship

  27. New Wave Dave That’s like saying the Gauls would never have formed into city states without the Roman Empire subduing and genociding them. It’s a baseless assumption because we cannot actually see an alternate timeline where the Gauls were untouched by the romans.

  28. Swampy yet the rich, like Trump, are able to make countless bad choices (ie multiple bankruptcies) and always get more chances. The only difference between someone born into money and someone on welfare is where the money they live off comes from, and yet we look down on one of them because of that source.

  29.  @aidenaune7008  Well most christians believe in the doctrine of Hell, and that unbelievers go there. Bringing up judgement day to a nonbeliever is implicitly a threat in that regard.

  30.  @jondelong7567  well in that case it’s sort of like a member of the CCP warning me against posting Winnie the Pooh on Chinese internet.

  31.  @marcosluna7792  I didn't say anything about the planet being literally destroyed. However we couldn't blow it up even if we tried, if we detonated all our nukes, it'd hardly dent the thing.

  32. They’re still emitting CO2 into the atmosphere raising the temperature like crazy. We simply can’t keep them without serious changes

  33. jrjohnryanjr ssshhhh, you’re not supposed to talk about the uncomfortable parts of U.S history. It hurts conservative feelings, they’re very sensitive you know.

  34. I deny the existence of god, and I have far more integrity and honesty than the Christian politicians and megachurch pastors.

  36. tchristian04 Understandable that they’re so terrified of atheism, considering that god ain’t real.

  38. @Kip Winner If somebody had actual verifiable, repeatable evidence of an afterlife, they would've come forward and presented it. Hence, as far as anyone can tell, there is no afterlife. I'm afraid snark and mockery isn't a viable substitute for an argument. Next.

  41. Mindblaster Mindblaster Antifa is fundamentally antifascist, the polar opposite on pretty much every political axis. It’s literally in the name: Antifascist Action

  42. Mindblaster Mindblaster Fascism isn’t just violence, it’s got a very specific definition, stated in a previous post. Antifa are overwhelming anarchist-left, which is as far from totalitarian right as you can possibly get.

  43. TheTriggeredDuck Trump is an individual who’s made his thoughts on many subjects very clear. that’s completely different to blanket statements about an organisation like Antifa. A better analogy would be trump supporters, which i have engaged in a lot of discussion with but nonetheless have not made a similar blanket statement about like you did for Antifa. My point wasn’t that you can’t have an opinion though, more that it’s foolish to paint Antifa as delusional or fascist when you’ve only consumed media about them and never actually talked to one about what they think & believe.

  44. john pepin I know I’m arguing with everyone in this thread but I’d also add Meditations by Marcus Aurelius to that pile. It’s a stirring, relevant and introspective read by a Roman Emperor and a great start on stoicism

  45. Daniel b Okay, for one: Stalinist USSR was an autocratic coup, it was originally meant to be a union of councils that vote on policies, not one man ruling all. Venezuela is a mess for numerous geopolitical reasons, up to an including CIA shenanigans. Second: the democrat party of the 1800s is a completely different animal to the democratic party of today. Not least of which due to a well documented switch with the republicans that happened over the course of the 20th century. Besides, leftists at most tolerate the Democratic Party as a bunch of pathetic neoliberal corporatists. If you’re looking for blind defence of the Democrats, you’re looking in the wrong place.

  48. JustlonoKiller They’re simply wrong then. The global average is projected to go up as high as 4 degrees by the end of the century. That doesn’t sound like much in a cushy office environment but it’ll snap the global ecosystem like a twig, and us along with it. And we don’t have until 2099 to address this. Climate change is a like progressive cancer, it gets worse and worse.
