  1. Men are discouraged from talking about their feelings... by other men.
    1000
  2.  @tangieshogelola6898  He.
    363
  3. "SJW" is just a meaningless term at this point, used solely as a snarl world against anyone with vaguely left-leaning positions.
    191
  4. Marriage is by no means a religious construct. It existed before Christianity and its meaning has changed many, many times. The very concept of marrying out of love is very unbiblical.
    175
  5.  @JNM578  Nah, he is a terrible person.
    166
  6. How is it better?
    153
  7.  @samu4529  Wow you sound like kind of a big whiney baby
    106
  8. I mean, it's a correct response when something doesn't happen.
    91
  9. Based
    83
  10. Horseman, the irony of your comments never quite gets old.
    76
  11. ​ @googleboo9876  Slavery objectively caused far more harm than 9/11 did.
    75
  12. It's insane. You could be the most un-Christian person in the world, but just pander to them a little and bang, you're the new messiah.
    72
  13.  @TheChamp531  Yes it was. He's a bad person.
    72
  14. I sexually Identify as an unoriginal joke. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of surfing Youtube comment sections dropping shitposts and derailing actual conversation. People say to me that this has been really going on for far too long and and it trivialises gender identity but I don't care, I'm a massive asshole. I’m having a plastic surgeon install a mountain dew dispenser, a catheter and and a poop chute on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Logical Gamer” and respect my right to freeze peach. If you can’t accept me you’re a god damn tumblirina sjw cultural marxist liberal and you triggered lol?. Thank you for being so understanding.
    72
  15. I'm sorry that you've been pressured into suppressing your sexuality, that's very wrong of the people around you.
    71
  16. She works for Prager U, which pretty much immediately disqualifies her from being "wonderful".
    65
  17.  @imegacameplz  That's one option.
    62
  18. People like Avatar are the reason why.
    61
  19.  Datinary2nd  Because no one chooses who they're attracted to.
    58
  20. @Axel Smith It makes me sad that you're deliberately denying yourself love because your religion tells you to.
    56
  21. No, he wasn't. Christians love to proclaim they're "just stating facts" but facts need to be demonstrable.
    56
  22.  @MollyHuffle  Being gay isn't a choice or a lifestyle.
    52
  23. The bible contains claims, not evidence.
    50
  24. "Are we going to dismiss its legitimacy because of its lack of sentience?" Yes. Not sure what's complicated about that.
    50
  25. Is it immoral to swat a fly? To let sperm cells die without getting to an egg cell? Or do we tolerate all of those?
    49
  26.  @betrayql9226  Bad guys playing a bad system.
    46
  27. I gotta say Mike, looking through your YT subscriptions I see quite a few red flags.
    45
  28.  @Soybean_Rodriguez  There's no such thing as eternal misery, the human brain doesn't function eternally.
    44
  29. People can break the law, so let's just not have laws!
    43
  30. History books contain the findings of contemporary historians. We have no idea who wrote the bible, and no one has been able to demonstrate its supernatural claims.
    41
  31. Bernie. But since that's off the table, I'll take whoever isn't Trump.
    41
  32.  @shaunjohn5724  He's not "fighting any fight", he's been convinced to make his life worse for no good reason. It's tragic.
    40
  33. @Miss Manawaka You think pregnancy enforced by the state should be a punishment for being sexually active? Because that sure seems to be the implication here.
    40
  34. But statistically you probably won't. It's better to work towards a system in which everyone can live than to hold out hope you'll be one of the lucky few to be rich.
    37
  35. Why should a woman be forced to go through with a pregnancy, something that can be indredibly damaging to the human body, even deadly? All for a zygote that is not even a seperate entity at this point, and more of an extension of the woman's body? You can argue that a zygote or a fetus is a human, it's debatable and frankly doesn't have a clear answer. But we know that the mother is a human. And to force her to go through with a pregnancy against her will is despicable. Women die giving birth. Last year a woman gave birth and ended up with a flesh-eating disease. She ended up a quadruple amputee.
    35
  36. Cerastes still spreading garbage misinformation like usual. It's like it's the guy's full-time job or something.
    35
  37. I don't think you can love someone and not support their struggle for equality.
    35
  38. They face a lot of discrimination still, and in the case of trans people they can't even use the right bathroom legally.
    34
  39. Avatar continues to insist there is no such thing as homophobia, while continuing to be the very image of it.
    33
  40. Why?
    33
  41.  @brent.johnson23  "in Lia's peak pretransition season (2019), she was ranked 32nd in the NCAA in the 1650-yard freestyle with a time of 14:54, 65th in the 500-yard freestyle with a 4:18, and 18th in the 1000-yard freestyle with an 8:55. These ranking are specific to college swimmers, but her "true" national ranking wouldn't be far off due to the minimal number of professional swimmers. Her times slowed down significantly after transitioning, swimming a 4:33 in the 500-yard freestyle at the women's NCAA championship. Going from a 4:18 to a 4:33 is a significant time gain for the 500. This time is the source of the ranking misinformation. A 4:33.24 in the 500-yard freestyle is ranked 457th for D1 men in the 2021-2022 season (630th for all of men's college swimming this year)."
    31
  42. Ok, we can answer the scarcity issue by redistributing wealth from the absurdly wealthy.
    31
  43. The line is drawn there because children cannot consent.
    30
  44. Within capitalism there can't be winners without there being losers. You can't accumulate wealth without taking it from someone else.
    30
  45.  @lionrugissant  The US is not a theocracy.
    29
  46. Watch out, the boogeyman's gonna crawl into your brain!
    28
  47.  @balkanfilms6740  "Sin" is meaningless outside of religion. Religion invents "problems" to "solve". The very fact that these religious people oppose LGBTQ+ rights so much just shows how "sin" and "immorality" aren't the same thing at all.
    27
  48. You shouldn't enter a discussion if you only want to speak and don't want to listen.
    26
  49. What's disgusting is that in 2018 there's people who don't respect women enough to let them have autonomy over their own bodies.
    26
  50. The guy who "doesn't believe in homosexuality"?
    25
  51.  @BeastGotClipped  What's illogical?
    25
  52. Oh wow, blaming rape victims now. Nice. Real nice. Piece of shit.
    24
  53. There's no relationship more abusive than "worship me or be tortured forever."
    24
  54. Shoes are the new avocado toast
    24
  55. Good, religious institutions shouldn't hold political power in a secular country.
    23
  56. durr it legal so it good
    22
  57. Statistically, she's at bigger risk from Republican politicians.
    21
  58. Do you have an example of such evidence?
    20
  59. "Sometimes to increase the global influence and profit of your country, you have to invade a few others."
    20
  60.  @alinakrohn7726  Pretty sure Jesus would've been considered a socialist today.
    20
  61. Who says anything "arose from nothing"?
    20
  62. What's hypocritical about talking about zygotes? That's literally what a pregnancy is in the early stage. And the early stages of pregnancy are when the vast majority of abortions take place. Where do you draw the line when it comes to ending a life? Is it genocide to ejaculate into a paper tissue?
    19
  63.  @Cloudii06  Their "different opinions" have real negative effects on society. Not everything is trivial enough to just agree to disagree on. Trans rights being one example where we shouldn't back down to reactionary conservatives. The very concept of the video, that we should seek a "middle ground" with conservatives, is wrong to me.
    18
  64. So you agree that being pro-death penalty is largely based on emotion.
    18
  65. Do you honestly expect this to convince atheists?
    17
  66. Strongly disagree.
    17
  67.  @anthonywilkes5290  What's sad is that zealots like you encourage people to live miserable lives for some alleged eternal reward that's never been demonstrated to actually exist.
    17
  68. An unborn fetus is an extension of the mother, not an independent entity. Unless you want to argue that unfertilized eggs are being murdered every time a woman has her period? No, that's not conveinent, better arbitrarily only make it a fertilized egg. And seriously, why are you always liking your own comments, without fail? It reeks of narcissism, Cerastes.
    16
  69. Why have you decided to become a worse person?
    15
  70.  @bingtothebong-z4j  No it's not. Morality and legality are separate things.
    15
  71. Atheism doesn't view LGBTQ+ people as mistakes. Atheism is only the lack of belief in gods, nothing more. Personally I'm an atheist and a humanist, and I would never think of an LGBTQ+ person as defective.
    14
  72. Thanks, you too!
    14
  73.  Princess  You're not cis? So you're trans then?
    14
  74.  @MBison-im2qy  I'm not asking who you choose to date or have sex with, mind you, I'm asking whether you choose to feel attracted to certain people. Are you telling me you had no interest in either men or women and then just made the conscious decision to find women attractive? If so, is that something you're capable of switching around again, if only for a short moment just to know that you can?
    14
  75. ​ @betrayql9226  Investing in real estate is already a disgustingly harmful way to "make money", considering you're essentially being a PS5 scalper but for something that people actually need, which is a roof over their heads. It's people like that who contributed to the housing crisis. And to then greedily refuse to pay taxes for the systems that you benefit from and that other people who are less well off benefit from is completely revolting.
    14
  76. Atheists aren't Satanists. Unlike Christians, they don't believe in the existence of Satan.
    14
  77. Every law gets broken by someone. The point is to reduce gun violence.
    14
  78. "We need to make sure we don't cause a series of huge agricultural, immigration, and health problems by failing to stop climate change." "But what if we accidentally make the country more equal"
    14
  79. @Mary Velasquez My biggest fear is moray eels but you do you
    13
  80. For those who believe in it, there's no gun bigger than God's gun I guess.
    13
  81.  @RC-zb8tl  Apparently people can't dislike Trump without it being some kind of groupthink indoctrination thing? Also the delivery of your zinger is a bit sloppy, try being less wordy next time.
    13
  82.  @MBison-im2qy  Do you choose what gender you're attracted to?
    13
  83. I think she should change
    13
  84. But don't actually do that because the farmer will get mad
    13
  85. She's a professional grifter for Prager U.
    13
  86. I'm an atheist and I'm not hurt, I simply never started believing in theism. Remember that atheism is the norm, nobody is born believing that a god exists. It has to be taught.
    13
  87.  @shawnchristianson324  You're delusional.
    13
  88.  @Luismarsden68  He looks so masculine that unless you were told he was trans, you'd never even know and just call him "he" by default. At this point it seems like you're just misgendering him to be deliberately offensive, which is kinda cringe.
    13
  89. Who cares about murder? Just don't hurt poor Yahweh's feelings! He just can't handle that, apparently.
    12
  90. Do you expect this to actually convince any atheists? Like, who is this for?
    12
  91. We have more information than ever and none of it points to "creation".
    12
  92. It's relatively recent.
    12
  93. Well usually when people say they're proud of who they are, it's as a response to some idea of movement saying an identity is shameful. It's why gay pride is a thing and straight pride isn't, because the latter isn't really necessary. Race works basically the same way. Having light skin, dark skin, etc by itself isn't anything in particular to be proud of. It's about being proud in a world that tells you you're worth less because of that trait.
    12
  94. We punish crime because it harms others. But the concept of sin is not based on the idea of prevention of harm, so it's meaningless as a foundation for morality.
    11
  95. What even is an "SJW" anyway? Such a meaningless word.
    11
  96.  @starwarsking548  The line is drawn at consent, dummy.
    11
  97. Is he, though? I mean I don't believe he's real, but as a character, he doesn't seem very moral at all.
    11
  98. Says the bootlicker
    11
  99. Who is this meant to convince exactly?
    10
  100. By all means, show us some demonstrable evidence of this path to doom.
    10
  101. People are probably vocal about being vegan to prevent people giving them food they can't eat.
    10
  102. Another day, another openly transphobic Jubilee comment section. I'm sad, but not surprised.
    10
  103. But a fetus isn't a person yet.
    10
  104. It's 2018, and you believe that the entire human species came from 2 humans, one of which was made from a rib? What's it like to be completely divorced from reality?
    10
  105. Stop trying to reel him back in. I know you Christians probably feel like it's your holy duty to "save this lost soul" but it seems like he's out of your cult for good.
    10
  106.  @betrayql9226  Some crimes are harmless and some completely legal things are very harmful.
    10
  107. Not everyone can afford to just politely disagree. Conservative ideas and policies cause real harm to real people.
    10
  108. Who is this meant to convince?
    10
  109. And how will that convince them exactly?
    10
  110. Saying "everyone actually believes in what I believe in, they're just dishonest about it" is an extremely dishonest claim to make. You can't claim to know what I believe better than I do.
    10
  111. Because a lot of conversations like these are happening in the US or Europe, where Christianity is the most prominent religion.
    10
  112. How embarrassing for you
    9
  113. Lack of demonstrable evidence
    9
  114.  @michaellabostrom2799  Or he won't, and he'll have lived a life devoid of romantic love for no reason.
    9
  115. Too many reactionary transphobic weirdos in these comments.
    9
  116. ES JAY DUBYA BAD!!!!
    9
  117.  @baleriaje6712  "The mafia doesn't break people's legs. People break their own legs by not paying the mafia when they come to collect."
    9
  118.  @tmcslayer4559  She's correct.
    9
  119.  @ELias-vn5yv  A funeral, most likely.
    9
  120. Brock, I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10. Do you believe it's 7?
    9
  121.  @ikbeneenaardbei4896  "Because it's real" doesn't really answer the question
    9
  122. Then you're not qualified to be a parent.
    9
  123. Because people can choose what goes on in their own bodies.
    9
  124. Then no one can be a Christian, because no one can actually know.
    9
  125. If atheism is a religion, "off" is a TV channel.
    9
  126. She compared consenting relationships between two adults to child abuse.
    9
  127. You can insist on being wrong if you want to. But you'll still be wrong.
    9
  128. Conservatism? I hope so.
    8
  129. Not as goofy as people who want to put people in prison for choosing to terminate a pregnancy.
    8
  130.  @tmcslayer4559  Great non-answer
    8
  131. Being LGBTQ+ is not an imperfection though.
    8
  132. Says the guy who vehemently believes in the validity and reliability of the unfounded supernatural claims found inside an ancient collection of myths 🙃
    8
  133. Why?
    8
  134. True! Nor will anyone else, because it doesn't exist.
    8
  135.  @christopheroluwasona66  Aren't facts supposed to be demonstrable?
    8
  136. Lmao, you're funny
    8
  137. No she absolutely should change. She's not hated because she's "righteous", she's hated because she compared consenting relationships between consenting adults with child molestation. She's vile.
    8
  138. Christianity is the major religion in the US and most of Europe. So of course that's what most people there are gonna have to contend with.
    8
  139. The absence of theism is not a "disease".
    8
  140. I'm not even convinced that this god character exists in the first place
    8
  141. Cool, then we can stop being divided on religion and get some class consciousness going.
    8
  142.  @miadennis2292  He seems to have a lot of issues with women. It's sad, really. He should log off of YouTube and go see a therapist or something.
    8
  143. Who are you expecting to convince with this?
    8
  144. Wouldn't be the first thing you're wrong about, Alpha.
    8
  145. Damn I guess we can ignore all the experts and scientific organizations that say gender dysphoria is real and is best treated through transitioning, because Pumpkin here said people should all just learn to love themselves more.
    8
  146. Do you honestly expect this to convince anyone? I've heard it all before, why would a YouTube commenter yelling at me that I need to have faith convince me that your religion is true?
    8
  147. What a snowflake
    8
  148. Oh damn, Marx was a Satanist? He was even cooler than I thought
    8
  149.  @EmeraldPixelGamingEPG  A fictional character from Christian mythology.
    8
  150.  @EmeraldPixelGamingEPG  Rebellion against authority. Something I'd say we could use more of in today's world.
    8
  151. Congratulations to your nephew!
    8
  152. What a fetus lacks in comparison to a more developed cluster of cells though, is sentience.
    8
  153. There's that Christian love!
    8
  154. As someone from a country with strict gun laws I'm conflicted. Because on one hand, the amount of gun violence in the US is insane and needs to be brought down. On the other hand, the US appears to be backsliding into outright fascism before our very eyes, and people in targeted groups need to be able to protect themselves.
    8
  155. Who is this supposed to convince?
    8
  156. You should get your eyes checked then.
    8
  157. Christianity meets the definition of a religion.
    8
  158.  @purple7259  Even that wouldn't be quite accurate though. There's intersex people who don't quite fit into either category.
    7
  159. I think conservatives have some kind of alternative definition of the word "fact".
    7
  160. How are they "warped"?
    7
  161.  @rosie6  No, it's backwards, to a time where women had little to no control over their own lives and bodies.
    7
  162. If you don't like abortions, don't get one.
    7
  163.  @studentofthesaviors.o.s  I think you've seen people go from openly gay to gay and in the closet.
    7
  164. You don't want even a single transgender child to get the recommended treatment for gender dysphoria? Are you just pro-suffering?
    7
  165. Such a great system.
    7
  166. That's not "common sense", that's a deeply repressive way for a society to view sex.
    7
  167. Evil and good exist as labels that we put on harmful and cruel or beneficial and kind actions, respectively.
    7
  168. Who is this supposed to convince?
    7
  169.  @precious1918  No, their body. Not your deity's.
    7
  170.  @radachelkollie4048  What's the point of your proclamation if it's not intended to convince anyone?
    7
  171. It just says that you're pathetic.
    7
  172. But they literally are conservative
    7
  173. The answer is Quark.
    7
  174. Consent. You draw it at consent.
    7
  175. Why would someone who wants an abortion wait until the third trimester? Why would a person transition to sexually assault someone when they could just walk in?
    7
  176. The government does not get to control a pregnant person's body. "Just don't have sex lol" is an insane thing to say. People are going to have sex, and even the best birth control is bound to fail in some instances.
    7
  177. Trans men are men who are trans.
    7
  178. He just doesn't answer it, as usual. He's not interested in honestly looking at his claims and beliefs, he just wants to parrot the same thing at every LGBTQ+ Christian he can find.
    7
  179.  @CerealMilk00  You can live a life without sex or romantic relationships. But unless you're asexual or aromantic, why would you? There's nothing wrong with being gay. There's no rational reason not to pursue happiness with consenting adults you're attracted to.
    7
  180.  @zachman5150  I might take that response serously if these comments were more than you just misgendering and insulting these trans men in the most pretentious way possible.
    7
  181.  @betrayql9226  You say that like it's just an unavoidable fact of the universe. But over the last decades, real estate prices have gone way up. In 1970 the median house price was around $23,000. Today it's over $400,000. What we have here is something that people need being used by wealthy people to make themselves wealthier, while ordinary people can't afford to buy a home and are forced to be taken advantage of by a landlord. It doesn't actually need to be this way.
    7
  182. Christianity is a religion though.
    7
  183. BookWorm, don't act dumb. It's far easier to hurt a lot of people with a firearm than it is with a knife.
    7
  184. Simple, because the claim lacks demonstrable evidence,
    7
  185.  @zachman5150  It's always been about this, about wanting to punish women for having sex. The whole protecting fetuses thing is just an excuse.
    7
  186. Who are you expecting to convince with this?
    7
  187. True, conservative positions tend to be based on emotions.
    7
  188. You can value both, but religious belief will always be in spite of science, not because of it.
    7
  189. Sure you can.
    7
  190. Your birth was a misdeed.
    7
  191. Genocide, the creation of hell, having a guy almost murder his son to prove a point to Satan
    7
  192. A lot of us just never believed.
    7
  193. No it doesn't.
    7
  194. He. And he grew it the same way other men do.
    7
  195. Are you just discovering the concept of friendship for the first time?
    7
  196. You stop.
    7
  197. You mean that awful woman who compared being gay with pedophilia?
    7
  198. People believe that mindset nonsense because it's comforting. It tells the rich that they deserve their wealth, and it tells the poor that they're gonna be rich.
    7
  199. So much for being pro-life, I guess.
    7
  200. Then you are not qualified to be a parent.
    7
  201. If that's your takeaway, you weren't listening.
    7
  202. Being gay isn't a "lifestyle", it's part of who they are. And there's no rational reasion to "not support it", nor is there a way to "not support it" while truly loving them.
    7
  203. Letting your son die to arbitrarily take the punishment intended for humans because of rules that you yourself made up seems like kind of an a-hole thing to do tbh.
    7
  204.  @SlobberMocoslv  People's genders aren't defined by their genitalia.
    7
  205. Why the hell would he make LGBT people if he "doesn't agree with it"
    7
  206.  Raa16  What claims? Atheism is just the lack of theistic belief.
    7
  207. What do you mean by "haven for science"?
    6
  208.  @drcrunch9561  No
    6
  209. I legitimately don't know what point you're trying to make
    6
  210.  @mediumraremonkey9839  And here one is, like clockwork.
    6
  211. No, those definitions are incorrect. Theism/atheism pertains to the belief in a god. A theist believes there's a god. An atheist does not. Note that atheism doesn't require the belief in the non-existence of gods, just the lack of theistic belief. Gnosticism/agnosticism pertains to knowledge. A gnostic claims to know their position is correct. An agnostic does not. Agnosticism is not some sort of middle position, it's simply the lack of a knowledge claim. Both gnosticism and agnosticism are in no way mutually exclusive with theism and atheism. Though I would say that gnosticism can't be rationally justified.
    6
  212. People who commit crimes, even violent ones, are still people. Killing them or treating them like dirt won't solve anything, it only makes the rest of us more inhumane too.
    6
  213. That's right, the only true Christians are socialists.
    6
  214.  @adriana12995  "See, you can pay up, or get yer legs broken. That ain't so hard to understand, is it?"
    6
  215. When you're in a lowest IQ competition but your opponent is conservative 😳
    6
  216. Here is a tip, if you don't like abortions, don't have one 😊
    6
  217. He's not clued up on the facts.
    6
  218. Sex with objects is already normal. Ever heard of sex toys? And animals and children can't consent. This is just slippery slope nonsense.
    6
  219. To what?
    6
  220.  @user-sb8vl8pl8j  Gay people are just as normal, reactionary cultist.
    6
  221. You know, the whole "you'll see then the day arrives!!" thing only really works if the day actually arrives.
    6
  222. They may be conservatives but calling them soy boys and women isn't necessary.
    6
  223. Transphobes still only have one joke
    6
  224. They are, though. When you stop taking them, puberty kicks in. What is not reversible, is puberty.
    6
  225. What is going on with you?
    6
  226.  @ΚώσταςΡωμ  Whoa, account made all the way back in 2018? Did I just find the original? Did you forget to switch to one of your new ones?
    6
  227. Good news, they're not going to hell, because it doesn't exist.
    6
  228.  @esseyshimbahri6301  Why would I have faith when faith is inherently unreliable? You could hold a strong belief in literally anything based on faith.
    6
  229. What's immoral is not letting pregnant people be the boss over their own bodies.
    6
  230. ​​ @ryanthomas9306 UHH UHH BUT IT'S RARE SO IT DOESN'T COUNT
    6
  231. If you're trying to prevent the killing of "human life" you must become anti-ejaculation, as human sperm cells die every time someone ejaculates. If you're trying to prevent the killing of people, abortion isn't revelant as a fetus is not yet a person.
    6
  232.  @zachman5150  You are.
    6
  233. You're thinking of conservatives.
    6
  234. What do you mean?
    6
  235. Compromise in the US political system hasn't gotten people anywhere. The overton window in the US is very far right because the republican party is always pushing further right and the democratic party is always looking for compromise.
    6
  236. Your friend sounds a bit ignorant.
    6
  237. What is the point of you just posting a little transphobic comment every day? What's wrong with you?
    6
  238. It pains me when people feel like their sexuality is something they need to "struggle with". Being gay harms no one. Why are we still hung up on it?
    6
  239.  @Soybean_Rodriguez  With what? Dead people don't have eyeballs attached to functioning brains.
    6
  240.  @studentofthesaviors.o.s  Completely false.
    6
  241. Is this supposed to convince atheists somehow? We don't believe in heaven, why would we want to be told to go to a place we don't believe exists?
    6
  242. Ok, we don't live in a death camp. Try again.
    6
  243. What exactly is it that you "don't agree" with?
    6
  244. Conservatism is embarassing, and there were no women in the video.
    6
  245. Nah, you're in the majority. Comment sections like these tend to be skewed to the right a bit.
    6
  246. What exactly is it that you are against?
    6
  247. How are those contradictory statements? Sharing your feelings doesn't mean complete strangers on the street are obligated to listen to you.
    6
  248. And how would you know?
    6
  249. What's cruel is forcing a pregnant person to carry it to term when they don't want to.
    6
  250. This means absolutely nothing to an atheist.
    6
  251. We know buildings have creators because we know of architecture, masonry, carpentry, etc. Complexity is not indicative of design, design is recognized in contrast to what occurs naturally.
    6
  252. Books are written, printed, and distributed by humans. Eyes occur naturally.
    6
  253. Whining about other men wearing makeup and carrying purses, now THAT's masculine, baby!
    6
  254. To believe that every human being deserves to go to some fiery torture world to suffer forever is such a vile concept to me. Do you actually believe that? Do you hate your fellow human beings that much?
    6
  255.  @davelucas7997  Lol, absolutely not.
    6
  256. FORK KNIFE BAD PRAISE GERALDO
    6
  257. Yeah, no, I'm not buying it. I get the feeling it has far more to do with you "stating your views" than you being straight.
    6
  258. Lmao, is this a serious comment?
    6
  259. The meritocracy you believe in does not exist.
    6
  260. Psst, having unchangable beliefs isn't intellectually honest
    6
  261. Where?
    6
  262. The only people more pathetic than Andrew Tate are his fans lmao
    6
  263. I don't want to date anyone who has ever smoked. Therefor there should be a law that people who have ever smoked even one cigarette MUST tell me IMMEDIATELY! Or they should GO TO JAIL FOR LYING TO ME! ABOUT THE SMOKING!!!
    6
  264.  @dekalios4588  You don't think that kids who think they may be trans go to therapy?
    5
  265. I think rather than just listing feelings that come from total religious faith, what atheists would need in order to join your religion is actual demonstrable evidence of its theistic claims.
    5
  266. I found a loophole in your security system, broke into your house and took everything that wasn't nailed down. I'm not a bad guy, I'm just being smart to earn a little extra!
    5
  267. 😬
    5
  268. Calling a zygote a child doesn't seem very honest.
    5
  269.  @janellecappel5650  If you can't tell me how they're the same thing in your next response, I'm going to assume that you can't actually defend your accusation, and then laugh at you.
    5
  270. Why do you hate freedom?
    5
  271. Look at you Cerastes, telling a 13-year-old they're not a "real Christian" because they're not a bigot like you. Why are you like this?
    5
  272. And she can decide what goes on in her body.
    5
  273. True, conservatives really shouldn't be given a platform at all.
    5
  274. You make Christianity look kinda bad when you insist that only homophobic Christians are "real" Christians.
    5
  275. I'm confused, I thought you said you were about to prove that your god exists. Instead you just listed off your religious beliefs.
    5
  276.  @flowersmakemehappy834  Not a person.
    5
  277. I don't believe you for a second.
    5
  278. Never ceases to amaze me how casually people will just be overtly transphobic in here.
    5
  279. That's awful that you were abused like that. But that's no argument for why pregnant people shouldn't have control over their own bodies.
    5
  280. Better a "lukewarm" than a bigoted zealot.
    5
  281. Stubbornly refusing to use someone's pronouns is rude, so don't complain when people are rude in return.
    5
  282. Ironic comment.
    5
  283. Yes, and?
    5
  284. I mean, I get why religious people teach their religion to their kids. They think it's true, after all. But they're still introducing them to these ideas that aren't supported by demonstrable evidence before these kids have the capacity for critical thinking.
    5
  285. Didn't hear a lot of facts from him.
    5
  286. Because of a deliberate effort to downplay its seriousness by people who profit from the industries that contribute the most to the pollution.
    5
  287. It's a sad sign of the times that scumbags like you feel comfortable enough to casually throw slurs around.
    5
  288. I'll take kind and blasphemous over cruel and pious any day.
    5
  289. Cis women are real women, and so are trans women.
    5
  290.  @zachman5150  Damn you're really getting some mileage out of your new thesaurus huh?
    5
  291. Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Your comment comes from not a place of intellectual honesty but a simple emotion-based reactionary attitude.
    5
  292. Isn't it great that she was able to make her own choice?
    5
  293. Maybe if they ever do a video about throwing rocks at bald guys
    5
  294. If you know your aversion to trans people is irrational, why do you still hold it?
    5
  295. People who let their child who's suffering from gender dysphoria seek the treatment that's been demonstrated to help shouldn't be allowed to have kids?
    5
  296. @MarsLand Are you really that dense that you can't see The Real Cat's point? Or are you just being deliberately obtuse again?
    5
  297. Nice
    5
  298. Conservatism? I agree.
    5
  299. Quick and incorrect answer.
    5
  300.  @ΚώσταςΡωμ  My mistake, seems I mixed up two names.
    5
  301. Says the reactionary weirdo who's obsessed with trans people.
    5
  302. Atheists can't say "oh my god"?
    5
  303. The question contains the assumption that someone "created the earth", when we know that the earth was formed through natural processes.
    5
  304. There's nothing wrong with being gay.
    5
  305. From what I've seen they like to dismiss that as if there's not enough pregnancies as a result of rape for it to matter or something. Which is really telling, isn't it? They're fine if rape victims are saddled with an unwanted pregnancy if it means they get to punish women for having sex. Collateral damage.
    5
  306. Do you think that's a good thing? To never question your beliefs?
    5
  307. And what if you convict the wrong person?
    5
  308. What rational thinking convinced you that the Christian religion is true?
    5
  309. Public education should not promote any particular religion.
    5
  310. Nobody likes a spammer.
    5
  311. This is an insane person's comment.
    5
  312. How so?
    5
  313. How do you know?
    5
  314. Weird how the "silent majority" lost the popular vote for the last four elections
    5
  315. I think you're thinking of landlords
    5
  316. Does B.I.C. stand for Bigoted Ignorant Christian?
    5
  317. It's a vegetable
    5
  318. Okay snowflake.
    5
  319. I don't believe in your god, so why would I specifically search for your god? That makes no sense.
    5
  320. Such an authoritarian message. "This is your leader. Suffer for him."
    5
  321.  @nicknickson3650  It's actually estimated to be around 1.7% of the population. Roughly the same as the percentage of people with red hair. With that in mind, is the statement "people are born either with brown, blonde, or black hair" an accurate one?
    5
  322. Irrelevant to the video.
    5
  323. I mean, ultimately everything dies at some point. But in the meantime we're all still alive and trying to make the best of life. Morality is just about getting along as a social species. Empathy and an understanding of the consequences of your actions usually go a long way.
    5
  324. It makes you factually incorrect.
    5
  325. What if some other religion is true and its deity punishes idolatry harsher than mere unbelief?
    5
  326. Imagine still believing that conservatives care about being factually correct
    5
  327. The facts don't support that. The Earth was formed through the natural process of accretion.
    5
  328. Stop peddling this idea that children are "influenced" to be trans.
    5
  329.  @thewhitelioness8645  Most people who are atheists are atheists because they're not convinced by religious claims, most commonly because of the lack of demonstrable evidence. Not because no one's told them "Jesus died for your sins" before.
    5
  330. I agree, it's insane that people are still talking about ancient mythology as if it's real.
    5
  331. You mean the thing we're all a part of? Yeah, sounds good, I like the world, let's do good stuff for the world thank you
    5
  332. Big word make brain hurty! Nice rich man have nice small word. Me like him!
    5
  333. So pregnancy is a punishment for promiscuity? You sicken me.
    5
  334. And the other half was conservative.
    5
  335. Pronouns are used in conversation, you're just not gonna be using someone's pronouns to them directly in most situations. But there's definitely situations where they can come up. Think about conversations with more than two people for example. "Hey, have you met my friend Jay here? He's an artist."
    5
  336. Stop trying to make that grifter relevant
    5
  337. Lol no
    5
  338. You don't like democracy?
    5
  339.  @jimmyhintz8850  Yes, you are.
    5
  340.  @jimmyhintz8850  "Man" and "woman" aren't defined by genitalia. They're recognized by self expression and secondary sex characteristics. There's women with penises and men with vaginas.
    5
  341. Okay, and? Are relationships only valid if they can make a baby? Is there some kind of extreme baby shortage I'm unaware of?
    5
  342. Conservatives: fuming on the internet about face masks and syrup mascot "censorship", against LGBTQ+ rights, accepts science except when it clashes with their preconceived notions, irrationally opposes workers' rights movements
    5
  343. I'm still not sold on "Daniel". He's weird.
    5
  344. "Poopy libracketeers"? Are you five?
    5
  345.  @EmeraldPixelGamingEPG  I'm no Satanist so I haven't looked into it a whole lot. I just know that according to Christian mythology (or at least as some of them tell it) he was like an angel who disobeyed and got thrown into the fiery pit, and now he's like a mischievous ghost that gets people to subvert authority or something. Is there a point you're planning on getting to anytime soon with this questionnaire, by the way?
    5
  346. She.
    5
  347. I mean, if the stories are to be believed, he did commit global genocide, and create an eternal torture world.
    5
  348. Flat earthers deny evidence and make up conspiracy theories. Comparing these scientists to them is absurd.
    5
  349. How's it wrong?
    5
  350. Yes, hoarding wealth is bad.
    5
  351.  @moodafan123  Such an easy question and you still got it wrong.
    5
  352. How so?
    5
  353. What is there to "disagree" with? Can you "disagree" with a person being left-handed? How does that work?
    5
  354.  @zachman5150  That poor kid.
    5
  355. No conversation needs Ben Shapiro.
    5
  356. Adam and Eve are fictional.
    5
  357. They made a liberal teens versus conservative adults video before this one and this is the flipped version of that.
    5
  358. Smartphones are designed and built by humans. We know this not because we see smartphones as complex, but because we know about the history of smartphones, cellphones, the early telephones, computers, etc. Because we know there's smartphone factories. These are demonstrable facts. Not to mention telltale signs of a human-made object like Arabic letters and numbers, plastic, metal, glass, etc. Humans, on the other hand, occur naturally. We're "made" by other humans in a sense through sexual reproduction, but there's no evidence of a human ever being designed. What the evidence does point to quite conclusively, is that human beings are a product of evolution.
    5
  359. I don't condone human sacrifice.
    5
  360. So, what, you ask for people's birth certificate before you call them "he" or "she"?
    5
  361. So you pulled your child out of school because keeping them ignorant on LGBTQ+ topics was more important than them getting a proper education?
    5
  362. Cerastes, shouldn't you be shouting absurdities on a street corner somewhere?
    5
  363. Don't mind Alpha. For over a year now he's thought of himself as the Christianity police. I'm sure he'll get a life any day now.
    5
  364. Christianity is a religion.
    5
  365. Why's that?
    5
  366. Sounds pretty cringe.
    5
  367.  @umpvp2435  Really? That's your response? Man you really must be some kind of braindead NPC.
    5
  368. No, they're trans men.
    5
  369. Your gender isn't determined by chromosomal makeup.
    5
  370. And you don't know what trans people go through, so maybe this comment is what's really disrespectful.
    5
  371. Disgusting comment.
    5
  372. @🤍🖤lil You're acting like a child with this contrarian misgendering. It's pathetic, really.
    5
  373. Maybe it's because fetuses are unconscious undeveloped lifeforms that don't suffer from abortion any more than they would have if they had simply never been conceived, whereas chickens do suffer pain if they're locked in tiny little cages for their entire lives?
    5
  374. Trans men are men who are trans, dipshit.
    5
  375. No, straight people can't "become gay" either.
    5
  376. Murder isn't murder if it's not being committed against a person though. And assigning personhood to a zygote or an early-stage fetus seems arbitrary and unfounded to me. And I find it incredibly unethical to put the rights of a clump of cells with the potential to someday be a person, over those of the person whose body is hosting it.
    5
  377.  @zachman5150  It's really incredible. I've never seen anyone before who just communicates by repeating phrases they've said before. There's your incredible narcissism if I ever I saw any. Can't imagine this Zach character has any friends.
    5
  378. Someone being Ben Shapiro 2.0 is not a compliment lmao
    5
  379. It's full of destruction and chaos, and the vast, vast majority of it is completely hostile to human life.
    5
  380. I am begging you to find better role models.
    5
  381. So dramatic.
    5
  382. Cerastes, stop trying to be the fucking Christianity police. Holy shit you're obnoxious.
    5
  383.  IssyFishyy  My parents created me. I love them, but I certainly don't worship them.
    5
  384. Gender dysphoria is a mental disorder, sure. And the treatment for it is transitioning.
    4
  385. That's like saying I would've had a normal adolescence full of normal teenage experiences if I'd never been diagnosed with autism. No dude, I'd still have autism, I just never would've had a word for it.
    4
  386. I hope you're not a parent.
    4
  387. The line is drawn where consent ends. Easy.
    4
  388. "hAhA hA JUST likE the LiBTards am I RiGHT gUYS HahA"
    4
  389. This thread is setting off my grifter alert.
    4
  390.  @Tashelove1049  Conservative values tend to focus on hierarchy and tradition, confining people to arbitrary roles and limiting their freedom. It's only by fighting against it that we have basic rights like women's suffrage. In a purely conservative and Christian world, what you're born as would determine the rest of your life, and instead of democracy we'd have a "divinely ordained" king like we used to. Also there's the irrational reactionary attitude towards LGBTQ+ people of course.
    4
  391. You can absolutely be LGBTQ+ and be a Christian.
    4
  392. Internalized homophobia is an awful thing.
    4
  393. Why does someone need to be "forgiven" for getting a divorce in the first place? My parents got one and everyone involved was better off in the end, including me.
    4
  394. Hell ain't real 😂
    4
  395.  Shm  We know that cars are made in car factories by humans because we have overwhelming evidence for that. We have no evidence for anyone "making" a universe.
    4
  396. Yes, their body. They're the ones who are pregnant, they get to decide what goes on in their own body.
    4
  397. It's not an offensive term at all though.
    4
  398. The simple reason why I'm an atheist, is that I'm not convinced a god exists. Belief isn't a choice, either something convinces you or it doesn't. And I have not yet seen a theistic claim that has met its burden of proof.
    4
  399. It's funny how I see you in every Jubilee comment section with the most incorrect possible opinion.
    4
  400. I am so sick of this line.
    4
  401. Isn't humanity beautiful?
    4
  402.  @RebecaHuzur  I'm not. And that's not something you know, it's something you believe.
    4
  403. To think that morality can be boiled down to following a list of 10 rules, which includes amoral things like working on saturdays or following a different religion, is completely asinine.
    4
  404. And?
    4
  405.  @charlottebuckley08  Yes, what's your point?
    4
  406.  @charlottebuckley08  Which is?
    4
  407. Being an atheist is being honest enough to say you don't know.
    4
  408. How is an emotional reaction evidence of the existence of a god?
    4
  409. Absolutely disgusting what's happening in Texas right now.
    4
  410. It's time for this bizarre obsession to end, Zach.
    4
  411. God: makes foreskins God: "ok cut them off"
    4
  412. It's because most people still have the common sense to realize that murdering a toddler is quite a bit worse than stealing a candy bar.
    4
  413. Being gay isn't a "lifestyle", and being gay also harms no one.
    4
  414. Loving and kind doesn't really match a being who creates a world of eternal torture.
    4
  415. Cerastes, I know you really like to hear yourself talk, but liking all of your own comments is a little narcissistic isn't it?
    4
  416. I feel like people don't really get the idea of inherent value. Like, okay, think about a beautiful painting. Masterfully painted by a famous artist, preserved over centuries, in perfect condition. Its colors as radiant as the day they were put on canvas. Now, imagine that painting existing in a world with no people. Would the painting still have any kind of value, either monetary, historical, or emotional? I don't think it would. There'd be no one to give it value.
    4
  417. Segregation is a bad thing.
    4
  418. Atheism isn't necessarily the belief that there is no god, it just means not believing in a god. Why do you ask the question "who created us from nothing"? I see no reason to believe anyone did. And no, I'm not a Christian, I'm an atheist.
    4
  419. I hope that eventually all Christians abandon their irrational religious beliefs before they've wasted their entire lives preparing for a nonexistent eternal life.
    4
  420.  @caca-iq8wf  Plenty of us atheists as well.
    4
  421. Killing your son sounds like an "a hole" thing to do to me.
    4
  422. I exist. I am an atheist.
    4
  423.  @souhiyori8032  What does that mean though, to "disagree with the idea"? That's so vague.
    4
  424. Which is why you shouldn't use the bible for your morality
    4
  425. There's nothing humanistic about restricting pregnant people's choices concerning what they do with their own body.
    4
  426. Any parent is capable of being a bad parent, I don't see what it has to do with being gay.
    4
  427. No, why would we do that?
    4
  428. Where was he hiding?
    4
  429.  @zachman5150  I love how quoting Sowell constantly isn't even the most embarrassing thing you do on here.
    4
  430.  @zachman5150  Yes, well done, I am making fun of you.
    4
  431. Trans people say that transitioning helps them. Medical experts say that transitioning helps trans people. But people still feel the need to show up with this "noooooo just love yourself nooo don't transition just be proud of who you are", like do you think they just never thought of that?
    4
  432. He's the most delulu out of everyone
    4
  433. That's disturbing
    4
  434. She.
    4
  435. You think about trans people more than trans people do.
    4
  436. Jeff Bezos is the wealthiest man in the world and he can't be bothered to pay taxes on his gargantuan company. That alone should tell you something's wrong with the way things are.
    4
  437. Learning things makes you less likely to become a conservative lmao
    4
  438. I never would've known I was autistic if I'd never been told about it. Doesn't mean anyone "turned me autistic".
    4
  439.  @thorfinthorfin3010  That's not what agnosticism means.
    4
  440. Religion makes unsubstantiated supernatural claims and demands blind faith. Science inquires, tests, and tries to falsify, in order to come to the most reliable understanding of something.
    4
  441. Trans men are men who are trans.
    4
  442. I find it weird that you only seem to apply this to the progressive side. Do you think Jesus would've been a Republican?
    4
  443. Yet another scam thread. How do you sleep at night?
    4
  444.  @feetfinderguy7044  Yes, they are.
    4
  445. What do you mean by "transition"? Because transitioning isn't just hormone therapy and surgeries. Socially transitioning (basically just changing how you dress, what you call yourself, etc) is usually all that transitioning entails for minors.
    4
  446. Scientists not being able to create life from non-life yet doesn't mean it's impossible. And are you really arguing against evolution right now?
    4
  447. Burning people seems pointlessly cruel. You worship the guy who does that?
    4
  448. Not transitioning is something you could possibly regret too.
    4
  449.  @NegativKreep  I don't think anyone has any problems with people making honest mistakes or simply not knowing how to address or refer to someone. The important thing is to respectfully adjust your language if someone corrects you.
    4
  450. All I'll say is, how messed up would our justice system be if we treated stealing gum on the same level as murder?
    4
  451.  @ELias-vn5yv  I know I have this short lifetime. Why trade it in for a hypothetical eternal one that there's no demonstrable evidence for?
    4
  452.  @kaitlynbarlow7903  Because eternal suffering is both cruel and unjust. No finite crime is ever deserving of infinite punishment.
    4
  453. Because a mismatch between gender and sex tends to cause gender dysphoria, and transitioning is how you treat that.
    4
  454. Atheism describes a lack of theistic belief, and agnosticism describes a lack of a knowledge claim. Atheism and agnosticism aren't mutually exclusive.
    4
  455. Who the fuck is saying kids should get reassignment surgery? Minors can get fully reversible puberty blockers at the most, and that's after a very lengthy process of talking to medical experts.
    4
  456. Johnnie wouldn't know a fact if it hit him in the face
    4
  457.  @honestfriend767  Nah, godlessness is pretty cool.
    4
  458. Because of reactionary religious conservatives? I find it a bit pessimistic, but I do agree they're an existential threat to the species at this point.
    4
  459. Right? Humans started out like that too. Nomadic tribes and later agricultural tribes who all cared for each other and contributed to the group.
    4
  460. Who says they can't?
    4
  461. They always talk about "the risk", but do you know what these rich people are ultimately risking? They're risking becoming like us.
    4
  462. Sure is a lot of blatant homophobia in these comments.
    4
  463.  @ryanthomas9306 Posting comments about trans people day after day for literal months makes you obsessed, shithead.
    4
  464. Cis is an adjective. Cis women are women who are cis.
    4
  465. Yeah they are. They're women who are trans.
    4
  466. How is it the "biggest joke ever" to not be convinced by supernatural claims that have not met their burden of proof?
    4
  467. Why? If you don't like it, just don't watch it.
    4
  468.  @Corgiking521  Why?
    4
  469. Toxic masculinity doesn't have anything to do with being a gentleman
    4
  470.  @GloryBeToGodForever  Doubt isn't necessarily a bad thing either.
    4
  471. But not this time.
    4
  472. You idolize reactionary idiots?
    4
  473. Conservatives are absolutely not led by facts lmao
    4
  474. He's not.
    4
  475.  @Mel-wn9gb  Nice to hear YouTube still bothers to ban TERFs sometimes.
    4
  476. The singular they has been used in the English language for centuries.
    4
  477.  @apologetics2785  Why do you think we're lost? Also, why do you think we're souls?
    4
  478.  @bretherenlee1404  Sperm cells are alive too. They have human DNA. The distinction between sperm cell and zygote is arbitrary. And a fetus lacks personhood, especially in the first trimester when the majority of abortions take place. They are at that point unthinking and unfeeling. Whereas human persons of any ethnicity think and feel.
    4
  479. Her rigid adherence to rules from an ancient book is why she made the least amount of sense.
    4
  480. Her.
    4
  481. It literally is.
    4
  482. Trans women are using women's spaces, sure. What isn't happening is them "walking into those spaces to show off their genitalia."
    4
  483. Women who like women exclusively are lesbians. Regardless of whether they're cis women or trans women.
    4
  484.  @veerzara5644  Stacy Griffin broke into my car and pissed all over the driver's seat. When I confronted her about it she threw a bag of her own feces at me. I'm disgusted that you'd recommend this vile woman.
    4
  485. Nope, I genuinely do not believe that a god exists.
    4
  486. Christians love dressing up their blatant homophobia with cute little emojis
    4
  487. Nah you're a homophobe if you irrationally think that homosexuality is wrong. Doesn't matter if it's because you think your god told you.
    4
  488.  @nicolaseusebi8424  Okay snowflake.
    4
  489. It's crazy how you think you can see "demons". If you're hallucinating fantasy creatures, see a doctor.
    4
  490. Why do you want people who are in favor of the communal ownership of the means of production dead? Are you some kind of violent billionaire?
    4
  491. Why do you hate people just for lacking belief in a god?
    4
  492.  @Nanofuture87  You're describing capitalism my dude
    4
  493.  @Nanofuture87  Your boss takes most of the fruit of your labor under capitalism.
    4
  494. That doesn't seem like a very factual or logical position.
    4
  495. He had a crowd tear gassed so he could walk over to a church for a photo op. Suffering caused simply because he didn't want to look weak. Just one example.
    4
  496. ​ @autograph415 No
    4
  497. Who's giving little kids hormones?
    4
  498. You're sickening.
    4
  499. I think you value civility too much.
    4
  500. No they didn't.
    4
  501. It's reactionary cultist nonsense. Is that what passes for a "W" nowadays?
    4
  502. Ah, the always extremely compelling "ooooh they'll see one day!!!"
    4
  503. There's nothing wrong with being gay whatsoever.
    4
  504. The enlightened centrist has logged on
    4
  505. "Preying on your logic about English and math"? What do you mean?
    4
  506. There's no such thing as "objectively disgusting". Just admit that this is about feelings and not facts, you big whiny snowflake.
    4
  507. Is a cisgender man who loses his penis in an accident no longer a man, then?
    4
  508. True, conservatism usually stems from some kind of trauma or abuse.
    4
  509. "God is not a frog in biology class to be examined." Yes, because the frog demonstrably exists.
    4
  510. And? What about it?
    4
  511.  @zachman5150  And here he goes repeating himself again. Embarassing.
    4
  512. Why is your god an irrational homophobe?
    4
  513. Your indoctrination makes me sad.
    4
  514.  @IssyFishyy  Nope, and it's quite dishonest for you to say so.
    4
  515.  @qulsweet8647  Conservatives are still feelings-over-facts as always I see.
    4
  516. "just give birth"
    4
  517. There's a pandemic going on right now my dude
    4
  518. Homophobia means an irrational prejudice against gay people.
    4
  519.  @angiew2324 A zygote isn't a person in any remotely meaningful sense of the word.
    4
  520. And what are you basing that on?
    4
  521. Transphobia is usually rooted in ignorance and fear.
    4
  522. Good news! Hell isn't real.
    4
  523. That feels like an extremely arbitrary distinction, considering the body reacts to externally administered hormones just the same as hormones produced by the body.
    4
  524. Religion in a nutshell. They expect the whole world to follow their bizarre little rules.
    4
  525. Prove it.
    4
  526.  @delirium6614  To the owners of capital maybe. And that definitely isn't everyone.
    4
  527. How do you know your god said anything? You might just be homophobic for no good reason.
    4
  528. What the fuck are you talking about? Capitalism is keeping the rich rich and the poor poor. Socialism strives to provide every human being basic needs. Under a socialist system, a homeless person would get a home.
    4
  529.  @loosecannonball7926  You don't think maybe a lower crime rate has something to do with how they treat their prisoners? Do you think maybe that putting criminals in a hostile, miserable environment with other criminals and not bothering to try and rehabilitate them makes them likely to do crime again when they get out?
    4
  530. Predators actually prefer for kids to be completely ignorant on these subjects.
    4
  531. That's like saying "there's a difference between racism and simply not agreeing with being black"
    4
  532. I don't think it's as huuuuge as you think it is.
    4
  533.  @justapotato2434  Don't be obtuse, you know what they meant by "forced".
    4
  534. Yet another obvious scam thread.
    4
  535.  @caoilte8097  When people are talking about "fighting against an evil energy" that sets off my cultist alarm bells personally. I could be wrong though.
    4
  536.  @mikeybrissy1613  There's your problem
    4
  537. That's a short answer alright, but you should've posted a correct one instead.
    4
  538. Trans women are women who are trans. As such, they use the women's room.
    4
  539. No it isn't.
    4
  540. Corathor, socialism doesn't mean everyone being paid the exact same. You can still be rewarded for the work you do. But there would be a focus on people getting what they need. A burger flipper, a janitor, and a teacher would all earn enough to live. Capitalism though, that's theft. People work multiple jobs just to support themselves while business owners grow their massive wealth.
    4
  541.  @giannapspsmeow  Pay no mind to Zach, he has gotten into the habit of communicating in copied and pasted comments he's made before, often resulting in non sequiturs like these.
    4
  542. Then don't have kids. You're not qualified to be a parent.
    4
  543. As they should be
    4
  544. Of course there's consequences. Just not eternal supernatural ones. If you murder someone, people are likely to find out and you'll suffer the consequences. And you'll have to live with the knowledge that you ended someone's life, which can cause a lot of suffering. And I can imagine it'd be comforting to know that there's some kind of being in charge of everything and we're not just hurtling through space on a rock. Though I wouldn't want it to be the Christian deity, he seems like a violent and homophobic guy.
    4
  545.  @meteormadchen706  Why do transphobes have only one joke? Always with the helicopter stuff.
    4
  546. This is like refusing people who were injured in car accidents access to hospitals in an attempt to get people to drive more safely.
    4
  547. When exactly? A week? A month? Or is it just the vague "soon" you guys have been throwing around for centuries?
    4
  548. Strongly disagree.
    4
  549.  @DrewAdams-w1x  There's nothing to prove wrong. You presented your opinion, I expressed my disagreement.
    4
  550.  @DrewAdams-w1x  Abortion is necessary when a person is pregnant and does not want to be.
    4
  551. Just because her family is comfortably well off doesn't mean capitalism is working on the larger scale. Inequality keeps growing and climate change is still going largely unadressed. We can't keep going this way.
    4
  552. Conservatism? Yes, I agree.
    4
  553. I feel like that's using an oddly specific definition of the word "normal". By that definition it's not normal to have blond hair, as the vast majority of humans has darker colored hair.
    4
  554.  @fatnakedjimmyneutron  Hope doesn't need to be about some hypothetical eternal bliss.
    4
  555. Atheism isn't a religion though. It's the lack of theistic belief.
    4
  556. Sin is a meaningless concept outside of particular religions.
    4
  557. Why?
    4
  558.  @The_Halfway_Channel  He doesn't, though. He dismisses the scientific consensus because it disagrees with his reactionary views.
    4
  559. You're thinking of sex, not gender.
    4
  560. At consent
    4
  561.  @fedkat8821  Capitalism doesn't function without a working class to exploit.
    4
  562. Source?
    4
  563.  @markofabecic6824  Conservatism tends to fight for tradition and oppose change and social progress. I think change and social progress are incredibly important if we want to improve everyone's lives, let people raise a happy family, and benefit from scientific advancements.
    4
  564. I feel like I've already told you before that dreams aren't reality.
    4
  565. While I think that's probably true of a lot of atheists, the definition of an atheist is just someone who doesn't believe in any gods specifically. You could still be an atheist who believes in things like ghosts, though I don't believe in anything like that personally.
    4
  566. Demonstrate that the eye is designed.
    4
  567. If you're reading this, congratulations, you know how to read.
    4
  568. It's scary to see far right populism gain popularity. I cringe when I see people supporting parties like Forum voor Democratie, that blatantly lie to sow fear about non-natives.
    4
  569. Do you think trans people just "become trans" when they turn 18? Do you think children are always too irrational or childish to be able to communicate their needs? If your kid says their leg really hurts, do you take them to a doctor?
    4
  570.  @tomday5287  Being trans isn't a decision. Nor is it a "fairy tale". Your views are unscientific.
    4
  571.  Fact Checker  Imagine being a conservative because your elementary school teacher said you couldn't bring an orange
    4
  572. The problem with nail clippers is that they don't dry your hair.
    4
  573. No, because that would result in a person being murdered. Nobody dies as a result of Angel dating another guy.
    4
  574. How does awareness of history correlate with supporting the private ownership of the means of production?
    4
  575. You vote for Trump, that's enough to give you a bad name.
    4
  576. You're harmful.
    4
  577. He.
    4
  578. Speak for yourself
    4
  579.  @zachman5150  Oh boy here he goes repeating the same comment again! He must be really proud of that one!
    4
  580.  @ArthurCSchaperMR Change
    4
  581. You think a god is needed for the seasons? You know how the rotation of the earth around the sun works, don't you? Nothing you've mentioned points to a god. Again, it's not laziness, egotism or small-mindedness. It's intellectual honesty. If I rolled four dice and got all sixes, I could point to that and say I have a lucky leprechaun who made that happen. How else could I get all sixes? In that situation, would you believe my leprechaun exists? Or would you need more evidence?
    4
  582. It's dishonest for you to claim that "everyone knows God exists". You don't know what I believe better than I do, and to pretend otherwise is dishonest. Myself and many others legitimately do not hold any theistic beliefs.
    4
  583.  @majinhiei7  Nobody deserves to be tortured forever, that's ridiculously cruel.
    4
  584. Which leaves the whole world blind and eating nothing but soup.
    4
  585. They're literally men who are trans.
    4
  586.  @Nameless10949  When I'm wrong according to someone's religion? Nah, they can keep that to themselves.
    4
  587. Your bathroom? Like, the one you have at home? Alright, up to you what you do with that. But you can't keep trans women out of public women's bathrooms.
    4
  588.  @djack39  You don't get to ignore their existence just because there's relatively few of them.
    4
  589. It's one of the lost commandments. "Thou shalt not drive with a velocity exceeding the limit set by thine local government."
    4
  590.  @SlipperyNutella  Why's that?
    4
  591. The fact that evolution has been thoroughly demonstrated to be the most reliable explanation for the origins of humanity, and the fact that a breeding population of two simply doesn't work. But since when do you care about evidence all of a sudden?
    4
  592. "Religion is much more rational, at least it doesn't make easily disproven truth claims!" I hope that's sarcasm.
    4
  593. Basic human morality I think
    4
  594. Simple, and incorrect.
    4
  595. Conservative positions are extremely feelings-based.
    4
  596. So infertile cis women aren't women?
    4
  597. You really like to hear yourself talk huh
    4
  598. Atheism isn't a "dogma". It's the absence of theism.
    4
  599. No argument or explanation given. But definitely needed.
    4
  600. You're an insane person.
    4
  601. No one needs prayer.
    4
  602. Then we should have neither.
    4
  603. It's selfish now to control what goes on in your own body? And empathic to try to control someone else's body because you've decided their fetus is more important than them?
    4
  604. Got an ETA on that?
    4
  605. Trans women don't have an issue being called trans women. Trans and cis are just adjectives.
    4
  606. Sounds pretty cringe. But hey, admitting you have a problem is the first step to getting better.
    4
  607. Religions are a reflection of the society that made them. It's not healthy that a significant portion of the population gets some of their morals from the bronze age.
    4
  608. Atheism just means not believing in any gods. They can still hold plenty of other beliefs.
    4
  609. Absolutely not.
    4
  610.  @Mara_Natha_  Ah damn, did I become too "emotionally triggered" for you there? People aren't Vulcans. I'm not interested in "respectfully disagreeing" with people who think there's something immoral about love between two consenting adults of the same gender.
    4
  611. Loving someone of the same gender is not evil or harmful. What is evil and harmful, however, is telling gay people they need to be celibate.
    4
  612. The homophobic one?
    4
  613. Look, they may be conservatives, but they're still women.
    4
  614.  Raa16  How do you know all mortal things must have a cause? And how do you know that "cause" has to be a creator?
    4
  615. Blaire White fans are really obnoxious, huh?
    4
  616. Why?
    4
  617.  @fadli_1577  It literally wasn't from Spain. But Spain was the first to report on the outbreak because news about it wasn't censored, unlike in other nations that didn't want to seem weak in a time of impending conflict.
    4
  618. @BorisVixen No, homophobia is disgusting to me. Wanna claim that your irrational beliefs are "the truth", that's gonna take demonstrable evidence which you don't have.
    4
  619. You are what you're born as? So everyone is a baby?
    4
  620. Then by all means, get on your knees and please god. But stop bothering everyone else about it.
    4
  621. How is it obvious?
    4
  622.  @matthewbright1939  Where's the line where two people can no longer be friendly, according to you? Because your friend's views seem pretty harmful.
    4
  623. Kids get access to hormone blockers at most. Why do you transphobes always lie?
    4
  624. Trans people exist everywhere actually.
    4
  625. I mean, you don't have to include the word trans. You can absolutely just say they're women. Because they are.
    4
  626. We can't have sex with whoever we want, only with people who consent. That's it. There's no rational reason to arbitrarily limit it to married straight couples.
    4
  627. Your consciousness ceases to exist as your brain stops working. Then you likely get a funeral ceremony of some kind and you're buried in a wooden box, or burned to ashes.
    4
  628.  @supern6173  Sorry, it wasn't my intention to be rude. Just my opinion.
    4
  629. Great, so we'll have a bunch of immature and irresponsible people raising kids they don't want. I'm sure that'll turn out great.
    4
  630. Nonsense. Religion is unnecessary. Free yourself from irrational beliefs.
    4
  631. You don't need supernatural abilities to recognize that the universe around us, for all the awe it inspires and mysteries it contains, is a chaotic place that was not designed for us. Or designed at all.
    4
  632. It's very important to understand that the Flying Spaghetti Monster does not need to be acknowledged by you in order to exist. He lives whether you choose to acknowledge it or not and one day, when you die, because you eventually will, He will hold you in His noodly appendage and He, the creator of all, will determine your fate.
    4
  633. Sounds like you just want to perpetuate your own ignorance.
    4
  634.  @justshavon8942  But trans women aren't attacking cis women in bathrooms, nor are cis men pretending to be trans to do so. Besides, there's cis women who are stronger than other cis women. Should they just not be able to use the women's restroom either? Are we gonna change all the bathrooms and divide them by weight class?
    4
  635. Gotta keep them indoctrinated and ignorant, eh?
    4
  636. So it's about punishing people for having sex. Fascist.
    4
  637. Once you see the "medical" procedure of open heart surgery, you wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy. Surgery still saves people's lives though, grisly as it looks.
    4
  638. LOST 🦅
    4
  639. Adam and Eve are fictional characters.
    4
  640. Cerastes, do you truly have nothing better to do than gatekeeping these people?
    4
  641. Big if
    4
  642. Then you're incorrect.
    4
  643. Trans women are women who are trans.
    4
  644. Hey my friend Kevin likes you Do you like him back
    4
  645. The opposite is true.
    4
  646. Okay? Is that supposed to convince anyone? I doubt anyone hasn't heard that before.
    4
  647. She did.

  648.  @zachman5150  Yes, and I'm saying that's bad.
    3
  649.  @zachman5150  Compared to a democracy.
    3
  650. Trans women are women who are trans. Cis women are women who are cis. What's so hard to understand?
    3
  651. She.
    3
  652. Trans women are women who are trans, dipshit.
    3
  653. How can you be friends with a sperm cell
    3
  654. I think most gay or bi people who pretend to be straight, do so out of necessity, to avoid alienating the people around them who would reject them if they knew about their sexuality. So I can't really say it's a bad thing. It just sucks that it's necessary for some people.
    3
  655.  @MicaelaContreras  Not just yours, but everyone's, and especially wealthy people's. And why is it a bad thing to sacrifice people's ability to hoard wealth somewhat for a healhy and educated populace?
    3
  656. Horseshit, why do you insist on proving my point?
    3
  657. Gladly. Where can I reach this god person? Do you have an e-mail address? Phone number? Does he have a Discord?
    3
  658. There's nothing that scientific about jizzing into a cup for a friend. And if gay people are "made" as you called it, how do you explain gay people existing in the most conservative homophobic countries in the world?
    3
  659. I think there's plenty wrong with those values.
    3
  660. But it's not cheating though if everyone involved knows about it and consents.
    3
  661.  @zachman5150  They're men, Zach. No amount of this smug posturing will change that.
    3
  662.  @zachman5150  Ducks and swans are seperate species. Gender, on the other hand, is a social construct.
    3
  663. Billionaires are not your friend
    3
  664. No one needs that scumbag.
    3
  665. You seem like you're not very bright.
    3
  666. No it isn't.
    3
  667. Segregation is bad, Justin.
    3
  668. You are a cis woman. A woman who is cisgender. What, you don't like adjectives now? Or let me guess, you just don't want to share the "woman" label with trans women.
    3
  669. Nazism is built upon violence and exclusion. Socialism is built upon social equity and democracy. How are these things comparable?
    3
  670. That disqualifies some cis women too.
    3
  671.  @vinayvenkatesh5536  Abnormality is a label we apply to it
    3
  672. I get those sometimes too. Glad to know it's happening to shitty people as well.
    3
  673. DURRRR EN PEE SEE
    3
  674. Oof, I can smell the impotent rage on this one.
    3
  675. That seems very hyperbolic, like even if you think porn is bad for you there's far worse things out there.
    3
  676. Yikes
    3
  677. It's insane to want kids to be taught less.
    3
  678.  Shm  I dunno where the universe came from, I just don't buy the claim that a god did it.
    3
  679.  @laneyperkins840  The wind demonstrably exists. We can measure it. Unlike any god.
    3
  680. One's sexuality is part of who they are. You only "love" some hypothetical straight version of a gay person.
    3
  681. Trump is pretty much the exact opposite of cool.
    3
  682. Conservatism isn't awesome, it's awful.
    3
  683. Don't underestimate the power of hormone therapy
    3
  684. Uh, we have socialized healthcare in Europe. What you're worrying about is not realistic. If anything your current government is letting poor people die by having them choose between healthcare and enormous bills.
    3
  685. They can, but why would they be? That would kind of be against their own interests. I guess maybe if they were like a pick-me grifter?
    3
  686. How is any of that evidence for supernatural claims?
    3
  687. Braindead reactionary shouting.
    3
  688. ​ @zachman5150  Cease being alive, Zach.
    3
  689.  @benjaminmoline5176  What evidence?
    3
  690. @Ричард Is this who I think it is?
    3
  691.  @RobC97  What defines someone's sex, then?
    3
  692.  @RobC97  You don't want to answer the question?
    3
  693. That little catchphrase would mean more if the people repeating it didn't routinely get the facts wrong about trans folks.
    3
  694. What convinced you?
    3
  695. Why should the same apply here? Is that your professional medical opinion?
    3
  696. As is the opposite.
    3
  697. If something "exists outside of reality" we usually call that thing "not real", Texmex.
    3
  698. Then I hope none of your kids are trans, for their sake.
    3
  699. Trans women are women who are trans.
    3
  700. Alpha & Omega, let me say this for the millionth damn time. You are homophobic. Homophobia is an irrational aversion to homosexuality and/or homosexual people, and that is what you're displaying over and over again.
    3
  701. No they shouldn't.
    3
  702. But there's no reason why you shouldn't.
    3
  703.  @niagra898  How do you know we have a "spirit" in the first place?
    3
  704. No, it isn't. Making that comparison shows me that you don't have any idea what transitioning means.
    3
  705.  @janellecappel5650  Conversion therapy is taking someone who's gay, bi, trans, etc and abusing them into the closet. Transitioning is a person who's trans voluntarily changing their name, the way they dress, and the way they generally present themselves. And oftentimes they also transition medically through hormone therapy or surgery. Which are all completely voluntary of course, done if the trans person themselves want them. Now you tell me how those are the same.
    3
  706. Candace Owens is a grifter.
    3
  707. How do you know?
    3
  708. Delete yourself.
    3
  709. I am begging you to find a better role model
    3
  710. You can be a religious scientist, as long as you have a mental wall between the two.
    3
  711. Men and LGBTQ+ people are not mutually exclusive groups, you spamming weirdo.
    3
  712. How can you ask anything to a god you don't believe exists? There's no way to do that earnestly without first somehow making yourself believe.
    3
  713. Your reactionary ignorance is embarrassing.
    3
  714. I mean, being straight is fine. I just wish they'd stop shoving their straightness down our throats.
    3
  715. Whatever religion you believe in, it, too, has apostates.
    3
  716. Every single one of my sperm cells could potentially grow into an amazing person. Does that mean I should dedicate 100% of my time to impregnating as many women as humanly possible, just to save all those hypothetical future amazing people?
    3
  717. Yeah, if we're really being honest, conservatism is not okay.
    3
  718. Imagine thinking capitalists don't use propaganda
    3
  719. This "just get a better mentality bro" meme only serves to ignore actual problems in society that hold people back.
    3
  720. I'll help you, you're conservative.
    3
  721. Why's that?
    3
  722. Atheism just means not believing in any gods. The belief that there are no gods is generally referred to as gnostic atheism or "hard atheism".
    3
  723. "If tall women are women why do you call them tall"
    3
  724. So as usual, the answer is magic. Cool beans.
    3
  725. Oh okay, so you're a trans woman?
    3
  726.  @wheelz314  It's conservative ideas that will fade into obscurity, Brad. No amount of screaming "GrOoMeR!!!" will stop that.
    3
  727.  @markusbaker1161  Transphobia is weird in that it can take over people's entire lives if they have nothing else going on.
    3
  728. Her.
    3
  729. Incorrect
    3
  730. Damn we got a mind reader in the comments
    3
  731. Not contrary to nature. How many times do I need to explain this, Horseshit? Some humans are naturally attracted to people of the same gender. Just as we observe in the animal kingdom.
    3
  732. Are you kidding me? Conservatives are completely uninterested in doing the least harm. They oppose any form of gender-affirming care and then just assert that no harm will come of forcing trans teens to suffer through years of gender dysphoria without any kind of help.
    3
  733. Why are you acting like the only alternative to the death penalty is criminals just going free?
    3
  734. Nope. Women.
    3
  735.  @matt1325  Personhood is famously one of the most difficult things to define, but I'd say generally it's a being that's self-conscious. I don't think a fetus meets that qualification.
    3
  736. He claimed things were facts when they weren't, and tried to tell an atheist what that atheist's position was, which is just inherently dishonest. I feel like plenty of Christians, especially older ones, are so set in their beliefs that they have no problem saying things and claiming they're 100% true and not accepting any counterarguments, which is really not helpful for a discussion.
    3
  737. Carrying a child to term and giving birth can have lasting health complications and can even result in death.
    3
  738.  @kg356 They're also prescribed for kids who start puberty very early. But my point is that if your goal is to prevent lasting changes to the bodies of minors, then you'd have to use puberty blockers, because puberty causes some very drastic changes in their bodies.
    3
  739. How do you know?
    3
  740. Gender dysphoria actually specifically refers to the negative feelings many trans people experience that are treated by transitioning.
    3
  741. Trans women are women who are trans.
    3
  742. About what?
    3
  743. Hey guys, I uhh have the special eyes from my religion and I can tell from the other eyes what their beliefs are, yup
    3
  744.  @caca-iq8wf  The bible contains the claims, not the evidence. There's no demonstrable evidence for any sort of eternal afterlife.
    3
  745. What's lame about valuing what can be demonstrated, without believing in supernatural claims that are without evidence?
    3
  746. Intersex people exist.
    3
  747.  @ArthurCSchaperMR  It's so funny how transphobic conservatives care immensely about pronouns, but only when they're being used incorrectly. Like, misgendering this dude was such a big deal to you that you had to make your little celebratory response? Pathetic.
    3
  748. @MarsLand Kindly piss off.
    3
  749. Atheists aren't just atheists, we have lots of other beliefs, just not any that involve any gods.
    3
  750. No I think it's mostly because of the homophobia and all that
    3
  751.  @TheBirdierouge  It's not the best country though. It actually ranks quite poorly in many areas. And while life may never be completely fair, that doesn't mean we shouldn't make it as fair as possible.
    3
  752. My heart pumps blood. Instead of trying to change that, why not change my mind?
    3
  753.  @mooncrow3758  Keep being a disingenuous jackass, it's making you look fantastic. LOL!!!
    3
  754. I think if mushrooms could permanently cure gender dysphoria we would've known by now.
    3
  755. Exactly, LGBTQ+ people are a convenient target because they're an oppressed minority. Of course, now that gay people are more accepted, trans people are on the conservative chopping block.
    3
  756. You don't have to be an atheist to be a decent person.
    3
  757. How embarrassing for you.
    3
  758. It's fine to be gay.
    3
  759. Sin is a meaningless concept outside of your religion.
    3
  760.  @msharp6887  "Science agrees with me if you ignore all the science that doesn't!!"
    3
  761.  @zachman5150  You keep going on about science, but at the end of the day you're just an angry reactionary cultist. Who knew?
    3
  762. ​​ @zachman5150  You talk so much but say so little.
    3
  763. MCU after-credits scene: "But actually yes."
    3
  764. Billionaires shouldn't exist.
    3
  765. How's that?
    3
  766. True, conservatives are pretty crazy.
    3
  767. Forcing a transgender teen to go through puberty despite the suffering it causes them is disgusting.
    3
  768. Zeus demands tribute. Please sacrifice a sheep at his temple at first sunrise.
    3
  769. No they shouldn't.
    3
  770. Your mom only has an embarassment.
    3
  771. It's fine to make mistakes, pretty much anyone will be understanding of that. What matters is that you try to be respectful and don't intentionally misgender people.
    3
  772. Silence, statue pfp
    3
  773. I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about
    3
  774. That was in reference to late term abortions specifically I believe.
    3
  775.  @c2dajayy  Trans women are women. That doesn't mean they're literally the same as cis women. Just that both cis women and trans women are women. Trans people aren't trying to say that they're not trans.
    3
  776. "Waaah why didn't they include my favorite reactionary grifter? 😭"
    3
  777. Gender and sex aren't the same thing.
    3
  778. How has it been linked with bad parenting?
    3
  779. Where Ben Bapiro? He smort! He destroy librul!
    3
  780. They do accept themselves. Who they are inside.
    3
  781. The idea of "men and women can't be just friends!" also seems to imply that bi or pan people just can't form friendships with anyone.
    3
  782. Christofascist freak.
    3
  783.  @blitz8260  I did. Now give me money.
    3
  784. I agree, we should all hate conservatives.
    3
  785. Trans women are women who are trans.
    3
  786.  @OverThedge_32  Why is it not the same thing?
    3
  787. Trans men are men who are trans. Pretty simple.
    3
  788. Christianity is as much a product of "the world" as anything else that isn't extraterrestrial.
    3
  789. It seriously is disturbing how casually people will post blatantly transphobic comments, and how little is done about it.
    3
  790. So let's end for-profit healthcare and if all of this really was some kind of scam after all, it'll just go away.
    3
  791. Don't be such a pessimist. If we all work together, we can build a future without conservatism.
    3
  792. Because most people are vaccinated.
    3
  793. But cis women have different experiences from one another as well, do they not?
    3
  794. What makes you think our consciousness "goes somewhere"? As far as scientists can tell, consciousness is the product of a functioning brain. And when the brain stops functioning, no more consciousness.
    3
  795. I've always found it weird how sexuality is characterized as "your choices", considering no one chooses who they fall in love with.
    3
  796. Hating homosexuality is insane.
    3
  797. @johannesstephanusroos4969  Well you're saying "hate the sin".
    3
  798. Comes with being a conservative.
    3
  799.  @covaciumarius  Should? Not necessarily. But if someone wants to, I see no rational reason not to let them.
    3
  800. Pretty sure the guy on a date also paid for his own clothes Paige
    3
  801. Sounds to me like you're the one with issues.
    3
  802. Oh boy I love the slippery slope argument, here let me try one We should ban eating meat, because people might eat human meat! I feel so logical, this is fun!
    3
  803. Yeah they are. They're men who are trans.
    3
  804. True, we should be open about how crazy conservatives are.
    3
  805. Not enough.
    3
  806. That's right, only socialists are real Christians!
    3
  807. There's countless denominations of Christianity alone. Clearly it changes based on what people want it to be constantly.
    3
  808.  @christianredneck6554  How do you know? Have you successfully gone to heaven using that method?
    3
  809. Trans men are men who are trans.
    3
  810.  @madi72618  Her.
    3
  811. Sad isn't it?
    3
  812. Conservatism is the ideology promoted by leprechauns. That's you. That's what this sounds like.
    3
  813.  @rabongnsaluyot  Come on, I don't think you're a devil.
    3
  814.  @rabongnsaluyot  Seriously though, what's it like being an adult who believes in the boogeyman?
    3
  815. I don't care about threats of hell because they're not credible.
    3
  816. Because the GOP would rather create a moral panic over trans people than actually offer policies that improve people's lives.
    3
  817. Why do you want Christians to be worse?
    3
  818. [CITATION FUCKING NEEDED]
    3
  819. What, so you can keep your kids ignorant of all the things you yourself are ignorant about?
    3
  820. What are you talking about? The worst thing that can happen from a risk like that is that you lose a lot of money. Which, if you don't have a lot of money to begin with, can be devastating.
    3
  821. What video did you watch?
    3
  822.  @godofgamers3884  Wish they'd hurry up about it
    3
  823. Maybe God should stop being an irrational homophobe then.
    3
  824. @RedTape Hey, remember when you got banned from YouTube over a dozen times for hate speech? Makes you think.
    3
  825. @swegweg erg You're taking an anti-reality stance here
    3
  826.  @ELias-vn5yv  We know watches are made by humans, we don't just assume they're created because they're complex. We have no evidence of anyone "creating" the planet.
    3
  827.  @ELias-vn5yv  Not what I said. I said you can't infer design from just complexity.
    3
  828.  @ELias-vn5yv  Why would I assume anything?
    3
  829.  @ELias-vn5yv  You cannot promise any such thing.
    3
  830. Another little boomer with impotent rage and a desire for murder.
    3
  831. "Why do you care if billionaires love having money bonfires while others struggle to keep a roof over their heads and feed their families? You're probably just jealous lmao"
    3
  832. I can see the value in the meditative aspect of it but I don't believe it actually influences anything outside of your own mind.
    3
  833. She was literally just spouting conservative Christian talking points the whole time
    3
  834. I dunno, if the book is to be believed, he wiped out the entire world at one point. There were probably quite a few fetuses among the deaths there.
    3
  835. That's not how that works.
    3
  836. It's because the concept of "whiteness" is exclusionary in essence. Barack Obama is as white as he is black, but because he doesn't have white skin, he gets the "black" label.
    3
  837. You think being called cisgender is "bullying"?
    3
  838. Where's the contradiction?
    3
  839.  @lazr9672  Ah, you're an atheist? So you believe blatant strawman And no, complexity is not evidence of design. If you wanna claim something's designed, actually show demonstrable evidence of said design.
    3
  840.  @mooncrow9325  LOL!!!!!!!!!
    3
  841.  @mooncrow9325  Do you want some proof that the Tooth Fairy isn't real while I'm at it?
    3
  842. That's an oxymoron.
    3
  843. In what aspect?
    3
  844. Why do you need religion to give life purpose?
    3
  845. Humans have empathy because we're a social species that functions better when its members cooperate with each other and avoid harming each other. Of course, humans still find plenty of things to divide themselves over and cause harm to each other over. Like religion.
    3
  846. Prison shouldn't be about making people suffer either.
    3
  847.  @jazzy8330  I don't think it's about what people deserve. Does making someone's existence miserable actually do anything for society that just restricting their freedoms doesn't?
    3
  848. Trans women are women who are trans.
    3
  849.  @Islander05  It's crazy how I can come back to this comment section a month later and here you still are, still licking capitalist boot.
    3
  850. May every religion be warped beyond recognition by progressive ideas.
    3
  851. Yes, I'm here. What does that have anything to do with theism, let alone Christianity?
    3
  852. Sounds like a great reason not to be religious.
    3
  853. That's not how presidency works
    3
  854. You're in no position to be calling anyone "delulu".
    3
  855. Because capitalism is bad
    3
  856. @Çaesar The definition of homophobia has been explained to you countless times. It's not my fault you don't listen.
    3
  857.  @Not-Ap  So a woman who's raped should be forced by the government to host a fetus for 9 months and give birth, a process which can cause permanent harm or even death? Either you're attrbituting a lot of unjustified personhood to fetuses or you just hate women.
    3
  858.  @ryanthomas9306  I comment a lot, sure. But you are just on a full-on hate crusade against trans people. Transphobia truly does rot the brain.
    3
  859. She talked about her husband, and was wearing a wedding ring. If this is how your bets usually go, stay away from casinos.
    3
  860. Fact: Charles K loves to sniff wet diapers.
    3
  861. Bold to assume you're normal people
    3
  862. Driving is a choice. Getting in an accident is an effect of that choice. Do you think people who get into car accidents shouldn't receive medical treatment?
    3
  863. You're thinking of conservatives.
    3
  864. Claiming atheists "know God exists" is extremely dishonest.
    3
  865. It really doesn't, but don't let that stop your irrational hatred of antifa.
    3
  866.  @USMCplzzz  Pretty sure it's the "fa" side that does most of the murdering. Which is one of the reasons there's people coming together to oppose that sort of thing.
    3
  867. Depends on the circumstances of the chicken being killed, nicegarfield. If you walk onto a random farm and strangle one of their chickens you bet the police will be called.
    3
  868. They can be. But there'll still be a degree of separation between the two. They're religious in spite of science, not because of it.
    3
  869. It's so bizarre to see religious types denouncing nuance and critical thought and praising unthinking recital of ancient dogma in the name of "sPeAkInG tHe TrUtH"
    3
  870. How do you know?
    3
  871. Disrespect to Johnnie
    3
  872. Good riddance to superstitious ignorance.
    3
  873. Awful.
    3
  874. Throwing other LGBTQ+ people under the bus won't stop conservatives from coming after your rights next.
    3
  875. Painkiller, what are you even talking about?
    3
  876. I hope you never have a trans kids, for their sake
    3
  877.  @ironpatriot344  You realize the singular "they" has been used in the English language for hundreds of years, right?
    3
  878.  @Skankhunt5886  A woman.
    3
  879. Cis is literally just an adjective meaning you're not trans. Nobody's saying you're not a woman.
    3
  880. Oh please. It's no secret that you're a homophobe. You're not interested in an earnest discussion about scripture, you're here with the goal of discouraging fellow believers from accepting and tolerating LGBTQ+ identities.
    3
  881. Because we all agree that veterans should be treated well (apart from the military industrial complex.) As you can see in this comment section, people are a bit more divided on LGBTQ+ people.

  882. Truly bizarre that you think justice is inherently evil
    3
  883.  @mrfrosty6219  I'm not saying the doctors messed up. It's just what happens in a society where gender is a thing. So you either abolish gender, which I don't see happening soon, or you make sure that kids who are transgender have access to the counseling, guidance, and resources they need.

  884.  @mesa9724  No person can be strong and stoic all the time. To have emotions and moments of vulnerability is to be human. Bottling that stuff up is not healthy.

  901.  @adriana12995  Good, people should definitely be criticized for saying they don't want gay people to have equal rights. That's a pretty clear case of the persecution I mentioned.
    3
  902.  @adriana12995  You can't claim victimhood because people don't tolerate your intolerance towards LGBTQ+ people.
    3
  903.  @adriana12995  Like any other action, speech can cause harm. And anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric is actively harmful to people because of something they never even chose to be. I should clarify though, I don't dislike all Christians, after all, this very video shows they can be perfectly decent people. But when some of them refuse to even support marriage equality, how can I respect such harmful and backwards thinking? You act as if all ideas should be respected equally, but some of those ideas exist to trample on other people. The KKK isn't persecuted when they're banned from burning a cross in a public space.
    3
  904.  @adriana12995  You're right, what happens in churches isn't my business. I think Christian doctrine does LGBTQ+ Christians a disservice though, as you can see with people like Angel who feel like they have to suppress that part of themselves. And there's plenty of people who would want to take that legal equality away, which is why I feel it's important to not allow that anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric to happen unopposed. At the end of the day, I think every religious person will see their version of their religion as the "true" one. I don't believe any of them are "true", so I prefer the more egalitarian ones. You believe in a god who sees LGBTQ+ people as abominations, others believe in a god who tolerates LGBTQ+ people. I don't think conservative churches should be forced to change their rules, but they're not free from criticism.

  954.  @IssyFishyy  I don't attack every Christian. Most of the time I just ask questions about epistemology in the context of videos about religion. If the religious person in question is preaching brimstone and hellfire and taking homophobic positions for example, I tend to be a bit more hostile, to match their own hostility. But outside of the context of religious discussions, I live and let live. While I think religious belief is irrational, I only really take issue when they actively try and spread it, or when they hold bigoted beliefs based on their religious beliefs.
    3
  955.  @IssyFishyy  I don't remember the specifics our previous interactions, but I definitely don't remember you having demonstrable evidence for theism. Maybe that's why I disengage after the initial back and forth, when I realize it's not gonna be presented.

  956. No you don't. That's not how sexuality works. The very notion that being gay is something to be "healed from" is disgusting.

    3
  966. Uhuh. And?
    3
  967.  @IGodsChildI  Why's that? The "physical" world is what we can investigate scientifically. Why abandon our most reliable method of gaining true information just because we want there to be "other worlds"?
    3
  968.  @IGodsChildI  Again, we can't scientifically investigate anything about this supposed "spiritual world". Not even whether it exists in the first place. So why should I pay any attention to it? You're assuming that an eternal, spiritual world exists when that's not something we can ever reliably know.
    3
  969. She.

  970. Your ancient cult is becoming less and less relevant, and it's about goddamn time.
    3
  971. You believe in ancient superstitions that have not been demonstrated with evidence. And that in itself is fine, everyone has the right to believe in whatever nonsense they wish. But to then claim you know the truth and that others must accept it, especially when that "truth" aims to deprise people of the right to marry, I find that very offensive.
    3
  972. One can have faith in literally anything. It's not a reliable way of coming to the truth.
    3
  973.  @yahshuasquotation6778  Kissing another boy you like isn't a wrong choice if you're gay. Transitioning isn't a wrong choice if you're trans.

  978. Don't bother with Avatar and Cerastes, Lucy. They have an obsession with trolling this comment section and harrassing anyone who doesn't fit their definition of a "real Christian".
    3
  979. I can't tell if you're a troll, or if you're just an obnoxious combination of smug and ignorant. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt though: Evolution is a process that does not require an "intelligent mind" because it consists of random mutation which are then filtered through natural selection. It needs no one making decisions, just as no one needs to make the decision to pool rainwater into puddles. It's just natural processes doing their thing. If you still think evolution needs an "intelligent mind" for whatever reason, I'd be interested in hearing why.
    3
  980. Awfully convenient. Your "job" is to spout religious nonsense all day, and you don't have to worry one bit about how nonsensical and unsubstantiated it all is. Ever considered getting a job that doesn't involve yelling at gay people about lakes of fire and whatnot?
    3
  981. @Beardsman Why do you have two identical YouTube accounts, you absolute weirdo?
    3
  982. Sperm cells are alive and are part of the process of forming a human being. But no one seems particularly interested in preserving sperm cells. I'm guessing it's because "pro-life" people see controlling women's sexuality and bodily autonomy as easier and more desirable than controlling men's ejaculations.

  983. Cerastes, DracorAlex here has a direct line of communication with God himself. Do you really want to go against what he says, and risk a one way trip to spicy town?

  990.  @mrrxd5881  A funeral, usually. Or a cremation if that's what you chose. But yeah, I don't see any reason to believe that anything happens to you after death in the sense you're implying, your consciousness doesn't seem to be able to exist without a functioning brain.
    3
  991. Why should gender dysphoria go completely untreated until the age of 18?
    3
  992. What does "not supporting LGBTQ+" mean exactly?
    3
  993.  @quinty26  Can't help but notice that you ignored Elysian Sounds' request for proof that the bible is a reliable source of information.
    3
  994.  @quinty26  "Infallible"? Just because we've found archaelogical evidence of locations mentioned in the bible doesn't mean any of its supernatural claims are true. The existence of New York isn't evidence for the existence of Spider-Man.

  1000. "Cis" means your gender matches your assigned gender at birth. Basically just means you're not trans. There's nothing degrading about it.
    3
  1001. I don't respect that opinion.

  1002. But it's true. Evidence is better than faith. Why shouldn't we say that?

  1006.  @JH324  Society is constantly progressing because of people who think about social issues and strive to create a more free and egalitarian society. Your bronze age ideas are being replaced, and good riddance.
    3
  1007.  @JH324  My comment was deleted for some reason so I'll rephrase it. It's ironic that you imply that I would be convinced something like that is acceptable if society deemed it so. I know it's immoral because its harm is apparent. You, however, I can imagine gladly accepting it if your holy book said that it was good. Your morality doesn't involve your thought process at all. You just read some ancient writings, and boom, there's your morality. And that's led you to seeing something amoral, something completely harmless, as morally wrong. How sad.

  1008. Why does he need to?

  1009.  @lia-sl9im  That doesn't answer my question. If Jesus wanted people to follow his rules, showing that he demonstrably exists would go a long way.

    3
  1018. He lost. Get over it.
    3
  1019. The only free system is one where people with wealth exploit the working class for personal profit?
    3
  1020.  @mystogan0771  This little experiment proves nothing. It's just asking for something, and then either eventually getting it and attributing it to a god, or not getting it which means "ooooh it'll happen someday" or "well I guess you didn't pray earnestly". Do you have any demonstrable evidence for a god?
    3
  1021. I don't really care all that much about a poor person's ability to potentially become rich, as I care about poor people not being homeless. Why should we prioritize the ability of the few to gain huge amounts of wealth over the ability of many to just live?
    3
  1022.  @Luis_H423  The trans women want their pronouns respected because they want to be recognised as women. The cis women want to reject the "cis" adjective because they don't want to recognize the trans women as women.
    3
  1023. Why?
    3
  1024. Trans women are women who are trans.

    3
  1027. As long as "what Christianity really is" keeps disrespecting LGBTQ+ people, I don't mind others disrespecting it in return.
    3
  1028. Different rights? Why?
    3
  1029.  @demons__1874  Why is it immature to not want to associate with people who hold differing political views? Having different political views isn't like preferring a different flavor of ice cream. There are conservatives who think LGBTQ+ people are immoral and should legally not be allowed to be themselves. How am I meant to be friends with someone who thinks that?
    3
  1030. Still crying and screaming about public bathrooms?
    3
  1031. It's literally impossible to become a billionaire by working your ass off. That kind of wealth can only be hoarded through profiting off the labor of others.
    3
  1032.  @nicholasgee9127  Marriage is a social construct that humans came up with, and that has changed constantly throughout history.
    3
  1033.  @55cripsack  Likewise.
    3
  1034. So you're a woman, and you're not cis. So you're trans?
    3
  1035. As plenty of trans people will be able to tell you, lots of them grow up in conservative families. Where they have to hide the fact that they're trans for their own safety.
    3
  1036. Aaaand the resident dickhead has made yet another account.

    3
  1041. Exactly, and the fact that this keeps happening shows me that many of the people who "just have concerns" are just coming from a place of bigotry.
    3
  1042. You really shouldn't be encouraging internalized homophobia.
    3
  1043. Why did you capitalize the word "theory"? You do realize that a scientific theory isn't the same as a wild guess? For something to be a theory in science means it has met its burden of proof, or it would be a hypothesis.
    3
  1044. Nah, they should listen to him.
    3
  1045. I agree, reactionary dipshits like Arthur shouldn't be given a platform.

    3
  1056. We already produce enough food to feed everyone on the planet. But because it's produced with the goal of profit instead of the goal of eliminating hunger, it does not get distributed to everyone who needs it. Businesses would rather throw food away than get it to the people who need it if it means less profit for them.

  1057. We know how clothes are made by other humans. But no universe-creating deity has ever been demonstrated to exist.
    3
  1058. You talk like an insane person

  1059.  @dogeimations9255  To some degree, sure. But it means there's something unscientific you believe in.
    3
  1060. Prove it.
    3
  1061. Are you serious? Christianity seems pretty anti-humanity to me. I always hear about how we're so awful and terrible and deserve to go to the spicy torture world, and how we're so lucky that Jesus gave his life for us.

    3
  1076. What if life is only possible under specific conditions, and the earth happens to have those? Think of it this way. When it rains, water will form puddles in shallow depressions in the ground, but not on a smooth surface. This isn't because the depression was designed to hold water, it just means that's where puddles could form.

  1077. Maybe stop telling other people how to live in the future, Avatar?
    3
  1078.  @mr.sophistication2461  Which you probably shouldn't
    3
  1079. You're right, not all Christians are like that. Which is why I encourage all Christians who are like that, to not be like that.
    3
  1080. Adding "PERIODT! THE END!" doesn't make it true. Still the pregnant person's body.

  1081. She.

  1082. Sure, let's give a bunch of dipshits with a huge audience yet another platform.
    3
  1083. It's just like how Santa seems to be a little nicer to the rich kids.
    3
  1084. According to the American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association, the American Psychoanalytic Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians they are.
    3
  1085. Seems more like a Daniel Wormald if we're comparing him to a character from that universe.
    3
  1086. ​ @The_Halfway_Channel  At 16:38 he dismisses the contemporary scientific understanding of LGBTQ+ issues as "societal pressure". And he insinuates that being gay is a mental illness. He's just another reactionary.
    3
  1087. Of course they are. They're men who are trans.
    3
  1088. I'm glad we're in the age where people are leaving bronze age mythology behind and LGBTQ+ rights are supported by the majority of people.
    3
  1089. Jubilee comments tend to have a lot of unthinking conservatives unfortunately.
    3
  1090. You keep calling it a baby but the vast majority of abortions happens in the first trimester, when it's just a zygote or early-stage fetus. Doesn't seem any more immoral than losing an egg cell when you're menstruating.
    3
  1091.  @ECNLGK_  Take your pills, grandpa.
    3
  1092. That's a very irrational position to hold.
    3
  1093. Conservatives? Hopefully.
    3
  1094. Trans people can't have an opinion on peanut butter?
    3
  1095. Why would they? It's not like public bathrooms are guarded. A male predator can just walk in. This doesn't seem to be based on reality.
    3
  1096. Do you want a medal?
    3
  1097. I identify as a shitty overused transphobic joke
    3
  1098. The American urge to reintroduce segregation
    3
  1099. Human bodies aren't designed.
    3
  1100.  @markofabecic6824  That's actually incorrect. The existence and validity of trans people is supported by the major scientific and medical organizations. Transphobic conservatives are going against science. The conservative stance on transitioning makes lives worse, breaks apart families, and is unscientific.
    3
  1101. Cisgender women are women who identify as the gender they were assigned at birth. So in short, women who aren't trans.
    3
  1102. Why?
    3
  1103. Cis and straight are two different things.
    3
  1104.  Scrotey McBoogerballs  So everyone's trans?
    3
  1105. It's not a slur though. I'm cis. It just means I'm not trans.
    3
  1106. "pErIoDt"

  1107. Molding children's minds is LITERALLY THEIR JOB

  1108. Pretty rich coming from "fucktyranny".
    3
  1109. We should all take issue with capitalism.
    3
  1110. "For once?" With how extremely conservative the US government currently is, how can you still have a persecution complex?
    3
  1111. They exist whether you think they "should" or not.
    3
  1112. Stealing from those who work hard describes capitalism.
    3
  1113. Your comment has nothing to do with science.
    3
  1114. Quiet, zealot
    3
  1115. I get shivers when I imagine open heart surgery. Doesn't mean it doesn't help people or that we shouldn't do it.
    3
  1116. Damn you're right the liberal is way better
    3
  1117. ​ @zachman5150  Why do you always post replies that have nothing to do with what you're replying to?
    3
  1118. Aren't you a little old to believe in an evil boogeyman?
    3
  1119. Yeah you are though. You're not a space alien.
    3
  1120. Why?
    3
  1121.  @ArthurCSchaperMR  Lmao, still prowling the comments for compliments from your fellow reactionary morons. How sad.
    3
  1122. She's simple alright.
    3
  1123. You are the lowest of society.
    3
  1124. Why would you be proud of having an irrational hatred of a group of people?
    3
  1125. Not really relevant to the video
    3
  1126. Those who voted to make abortion illegal again in the US should redacted
    3
  1127. Go fuck yourself, transphobe.
    3
  1128. Irrelevant question, because there's no such thing as "eternal life". So either be happy or don't, it makes no difference to your mortality.
    3
  1129.  @KolyaUrtz  Atheism is a lack of belief, agnosticism is a lack of a claim of knowledge. They're not mutually exclusive. Most atheists are agnostic atheists.
    3
  1130. In the sense that you choose who you enter a romantic relationship with, sure. But you don't choose who you're attracted to.
    3
  1131. Well if that's how you're defining it why would you not agree with any of those
    3
  1132. There's literally no kind way to say this. It's inherently a very cruel thing to say.
    3
  1133. Sounds comforting, but how do you know it's true?
    3
  1134. Because of his bigoted rhetoric and the fact that his administration has also made legal immigration more difficult.
    3
  1135. Being a conservative conflicts with spreading truth, kindness, respect, and love.
    3
  1136. Isabella is genuinely insane.
    3
  1137. Fuck off, there's nothing wrong with being gay. Your religion's commandments are unethical and unreasonable.
    3
  1138. I don't believe this "conservatives get censored" thing, especially not now. Not when people are overtly using genocidal language about trans people and nothing is done about it. There are so many absolutely disgusting things said about LGBTQ+ people by conservatives that are apparently deemed completely acceptable. And they want to say they're censored? They have no idea how much lenience they're getting.
    3
  1139. Out of everything on the panel, he was the most convinced he was right. That definitely doesn't make him the most intelligent though.
    3
  1140. Not believing in a god isn't egotistical, it's intellectually honest. No gods have ever been demonstrated to exist.
    3
  1141. "Atheists never have any real arguments other than the fact that there isn’t any proof." If there isn't any proof for something, believing in it isn't justified. Pretty simple.
    3
  1142. What is lazy, egotistical, or small-minded about withholding belief in what is lacking in evidence?
    3
  1143. Imagine being vehemently against taking care of the sick lmao
    3
  1144. The funniest thing is when they point at the current day failings of capitalism and say "Look! It's socialism!!"
    3
  1145. He's literally detached from reality. I guess maybe you are too.
    3
  1146. Prove hell actually exists.
    3
  1147. I am begging you to find a better role model.
    3
  1148. Trans women are women.
    3
  1149.  @nas5276  Begone, weirdo.
    3
  1150. Prove it
    3
  1151. You have swallowed the boot
    3
  1152. "You’ve presented no evidence to support your claims." Kinda reminds me of someone else I know, Sleepy Hollow! You. It's you.
    3
  1153. How is the lack of a belief a set of beliefs or practices?
    3
  1154.  @at7915  None
    3
  1155. Probably because in the US's shitty two-party system, there's only one real alternative and it's far worse. If there was a strong leftist party, I definitely agree that minorities should vote for that instead. But alas, here we are.
    3
  1156. She.
    3
  1157.  @lman1006  No problem!
    3
  1158. There's nothing wrong with being LGBTQ+. Sounds like the Bible is incorrect.
    3
  1159. If you look up "What does the scholarly research say about the effect of gender transition on transgender well-being?", you'll find a meta-study that looks at 55 different studies on the effects of transitioning on the well-being of trans people. To quote from their conclusion: "This search found a robust international consensus in the peer-reviewed literature that gender transition, including medical treatments such as hormone therapy and surgeries, improves the overall well-being of transgender individuals. The literature also indicates that greater availability of medical and social support for gender transition contributes to better quality of life for those who identify as transgender."
    3
  1160. You're a real piece of work.
    3
  1161. How disusting, to add a little heart to your declaration that you want to force pregnant people to carry their pregnancy to term.
    3
  1162.  @saintshrooms9424  That's exactly why minors are given hormone blockers until then, so they can transition medically once they're older.
    3
  1163.  @HoloTWWOriginal  Cool conspiracy theory.
    3
  1164.  @HoloTWWOriginal  The decision to transition socially? Don't see a reason to put an age limit for a kid choosing how they dress or otherwise present themselves. Hormone blockers only really become relevant around the age when puberty would occur. And then around once they're around 18 they can decide to medically transition or not.
    3
  1165. So then they shouldn't go through a natural puberty?
    3
  1166. Of course there's morality for atheists, what are you talking about?
    3
  1167. You can have a sensible moral system, or you can blindly cling to an ancient book of stories.
    3
  1168. Why?
    3
  1169. They deserve a better owner.
    3
  1170. Religion does a poor job at that then.
    3
  1171. What "better views?"
    3
  1172. It's not a prefix. It's an adjective. You're still a woman. A woman who's cisgender.
    3
  1173.  @Mel-wn9gb  It literally just means you're not trans, weirdo.
    3
  1174. What logical arguments are there for the existence of the Christian deity?
    3
  1175. Cindy is the best person here.
    3
  1176.  @talanimlangeni6150  That's a little embarassing
    3
  1177. Is it really so ridiculous of a concept? Someone's politics can say a lot about their morality, or lack thereof.
    3
  1178. Cringe
    3
  1179. Objectively incorrect
    3
  1180. Love between people of the same gender harms no one.
    3
  1181. Trans people aren't "deceiving" anyone, and you're not a normal person.
    3
  1182. Don't be such a pessimist!
    3
  1183. Sin is meaningless and progress is necessary.
    3
  1184. "Trans"? That's not a noun. Trans what? Trans people? Some of them are women.
    3
  1185. Please tell me you didn't pay money for that profile picture
    3
  1186. Only through the lens of your religious beliefs.
    3
  1187. You can literally stop taking puberty blockers and puberty will kick in.
    3
  1188. Wrong on both counts, buddy.
    3
  1189.  @ariaurre  Talking to Megatronix is a waste of time. They've been here before under different usernames and they have a book where their brain should be.
    3
  1190.  @crazy1azy  Statistics can only measure teens who are openly gay. The line going up doesn't necessarily mean that more teens are "becoming gay", it's far more likely that a lot of them simply feel comfortable being openly gay instead of being in the closet.
    3
  1191.  @ryanthomas9306 David Reimer wasn't a trans kid, he was a cis kid being forcibly transitioned, a practice that literally no one is arguing for. The true answer is that trans kids have been around as long as trans people in general have, considering trans people don't just suddenly "become trans" when they turn 18.
    3
  1192. Cool
    3
  1193. Cool
    3
  1194.  @Mara_Natha_  I don't know what to tell you buddy, that's homophobia
    3
  1195.  @zachman5150  You are the personification of the 😏 emoji
    3
  1196. It's not. It's a method, a tool.
    3
  1197. So then a lot of medical procedures become morally wrong if that's the standard we're using.
    3
  1198. If you became more conservative I'd say it devolved.
    3
  1199. Who is this for? This isn't exactly convincing to atheists.
    3
  1200. The statement was "every woman should be a feminist", not "every woman should be forced to be a feminist".
    3
  1201. Another goofy conspiracy theorist.
    3
  1202. Cool, I'm fine with capitalists not existing
    3
  1203.  @Kahtilik  Not really though. Because the pro-choice people aren't arguing that all fetuses should be aborted. Whereas pro-life people are arguing that no one should be able to choose to abort.
    3
  1204.  @zachman5150  You continue to embarass yourself.
    3
  1205. Trans women are women who are trans.
    3
  1206.  @DenilSivi  Of course it makes sense. Tall women are women who are tall. Short women are women who are short. And trans women are women who are trans.
    3
  1207. They did though, in another video.
    3
  1208. Nah there's something seriously wrong with her
    3
  1209. Reactionary moron.
    3
  1210. Jesus Christ, Cerastes, how many times are you going to link the same propaganda video? You comment so many times, but I feel like you've only ever written a handful of comments, and you just keep regurgitating the same shit.

    3
  1213. Who is this supposed to convince?
    3
  1214. So you're a fascist.
    3
  1215. Complexity is not indicative of design.
    3
  1216. Calling it that when it already has a more distinctive name only serves to point fingers at a population of people.
    3
  1217. How do you know that a god is responsible for any of these things?
    3
  1218. Trans women are women who are trans.
    3
  1219. Saying "it's science" doesn't make your view actually scientifically accurate.
    3
  1220. Conservatives are weirdos but mentally ill is going a bit far.
    3
  1221. The Gods of Olympus are the only way to Elysium!
    3
  1222. It's actually really easy.
    3
  1223. "No, don't call 911, my book says the house is supposed to be on fire"

  1224. How is this meant to convince nonbelievers?
    3
  1225. "vIcTiM mEnTaLiTy"
    3
  1226. They can be. But religion can't be scientific.
    3
  1227. Oh nice, a schizo-post!
    3
  1228. They're just being criticized for having shitty opinions.
    3
  1229.  @ThePicasoBlack  It's a figure of speech. And no, I don't need anything from a deity who I'm not convinced exists. I'd just prefer if their followers had a more precise doomsday prediction so they'd hopefully stop bringing it up at some point.
    3
  1230. What "expense" is that? And for the record, trans women have been using the women's room.
    3
  1231.  @ddd333-p1i  It's the logical conclusion. Minds require a functioning brain, which no longer exists when death occurs.
    3
  1232. It is.
    3
  1233. Why do you think moral philosophy exists?
    3
  1234. Idk, I think fascism is extremely unattractive.
    3
  1235. Why is there such a large correlation between being a conservative boomer and being an unhinged conspiracy nut? Was your generation never taught critical thinking skills?
    3
  1236. Or maybe you're the blasphemous one here.
    3
  1237. If you're in love with someone of the same gender, what's there to hate about that? And why would you obey, let alone worship someone who hates that?
    3
  1238. But being gay simply isn't wrong.
    3
  1239. Conservatism isn't cool.
    3
  1240. BLM isn't about making individuals personally less racist. It's about addressing systemic racism in the police force among other institutions.
    3
  1241. Lmao
    3
  1242. Yeah, conservatives are weird.
    3
  1243.  @justapotato2434  It's punishment to not allow them to get an abortion.
    3
  1244.  @zachman5150  NO ONE GETS TO OCCUPY ANYONE ELSE'S BODY WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT!
    3
  1245. Oh ok it was the demons, gotcha
    3
  1246. If your church is ok with gay people, your church is better than the ones that aren't. From a moral perspective.
    3
  1247.  @sdvegansoulkitchen6870  Weird, why do you feel the need to avoid the use of adjectives when you seem to be fine with nouns and verbs?
    3
  1248. I still don't understand why an omniscient being would need to test anything in the first place.
    3
  1249. Doesn't exist. Just what conservatives imagine gay people do in their daily lives.
    3
  1250. Thank you Avatar, for proving my point completely.
    3
  1251. Trans women are women who are trans.
    3
  1252. Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.
    3
  1253. It makes no sense for a healthy society to let a tiny amount of people hoard gargantuan amounts of wealth while others don't have enough. It's better to prioritize health, housing, and education for all than to allow rich people to keep getting richer and richer.
    3
  1254.  @crate249  Anyone can blame their loss on dubious claims of voter fraud.

  1255.  @jirenthegray  If frugality alone made you a millionaire we'd see a lot more millionaires.
    3
  1256.  @iamcharles.s  We're talking about fetuses here, not babies. And taking away anyone's bodily autonomy is evil.
    3
  1257.  IssyFishyy  No it doesn't.
    3
  1258.  IssyFishyy  How am I forcing anyone to do anything?
    3
  1259. Do you understand how adjectives work?
    3
  1260. By the way Cerastes, when are you finally going to give me a scientific source for your claim that nobody's born gay? I've been waiting since yesterday!
    3
  1261. Now here's the kicker: humans are animals.
    3
  1262. Married people can still get aids, what the hell are you talking about?
    3
  1263. Lose nothing? You'll have wasted the only life you have on ancient superstition.
    3
  1264. How disgusting.
    3
  1265. Conservatism is the opposite of wisdom.
    3
  1266. Rich: Sees money as a game. Poor: Sees money as necessary for survival. Rich: Uses money to make more money while contributing very little to society, or even being a detriment to it in the case of being a landlord for example. Poor: Uses money to live.
    3
  1267. Follow your leader and leave early
    3
  1268. Wow, what a terrible teacher, trying to teach you.
    3
  1269. I could also say the opposite of pro-choice is pro-subjugation.
    3
  1270. Because trans women are women
    3
  1271. You're trans women?
    3
  1272. Nobody works for billions of dollars. That kind of money is extracted from the work of others.
    2
  1273. Turns out most people are pro-choice. Weird how they don't seem to be represented politically, as if the US weren't actually a democracy.
    2
  1274.  @islbeats9764  If a job simply doesn't pay enough then we can't reasonably expect someone to work that job, even "temporarily".
    2
  1275. If you're not cis, you're trans. So you're saying you're a trans woman? Or do you just have an irrational aversion to the concept of adjectives?
    2
  1276. Hm. So you believe the worker is entitled to the full value of your labor? Congratulations then, you support socialism!
    2
  1277. Why do you guys feel the need to advertise your religion like this in the comments of videos where it's not really relevant?
    2
  1278. Possibly the single most embarassing youtube account I've ever seen
    2
  1279. It would be ethical if you were paid the full value of your labor. But people generally aren't.
    2
  1280. They're really not.
    2
  1281. False.
    2
  1282. If there's one thing this comment section's telling me it's that conservatives really love to generalize based on a single example.
    2
  1283. @Jack Hanson Puberty blockers are used specifically so that an underage trans person can make a long term decision at a later age though. Making them experience a puberty that will just cause them more dysphoria is just cruelty.
    2
  1284. Here, I can fill in for Horseshit, I've memorized how his mind works: "UM, ACTUALLY, it's not my JOB to convince you of the claims I'm making! Just look around you at how complex the world is! And look how Christianity is really popular! That totally proves that literally every word of a collection of bronze age stories containing supernatural beings and events that have never been observed again is totally true! Huh? Argument from ignorance fallacy, and argument ad populum fallacy? What are those? Ah, nevermind, your cOrRuPt RePrObAtE mInD is making you say big confusing words again, like some kind of dang satanist! Begone, vile demon! The power of Christ compels you!"
    2
  1285. "Science is over now because I don't like their findings"
    2
  1286.  @vision-dz6cm  People who break the law shouldn't have rights?
    2
  1287. They won't die out. Gay people can still reproduce. Artificial insemination and whatnot. Plenty of gay couples decide to become parents, either through sperm donor or surrogate mother, or adoption. Is it not a tremendous virtue to adopt a child who would otherwise grow up without parents? Also, gay people will continue to be born to straight couples outside this hypothetical gay nation...
    2
  1288. Trans women are women who are trans. Pretty simple.
    2
  1289. If knowledge is the enemy of your beliefs, I think that says enough.
    2
  1290.  @leetsui510  And you think accepting your child is "rolling over"?
    2
  1291. Then I'm afraid you're simply wrong.
    2
  1292. Why's it sad? I think it's great that people are putting empathy and ethics before blind adherence to ancient rules, while still finding a way to get the benefits from their religious beliefs.
    2
  1293. Other people who are part of other religions also claim to have experienced their gods in their lives. How can an outsider determine who has the correct religion?
    2
  1294. Why? What reason is there to attribute personhood to an embryo?
    2
  1295. If the future is conservative, we are all fucked.
    2
  1296. Orinoco still doesn't get how sexuality works, despite having it had explained to him multiple times. Sad.
    2
  1297.  @lawrenceeason8007  Don't bother with Hydra or Avatar or whatever he chooses to call himself. He's done this dance with plenty of people and it's all word games, no demonstrable evidence.
    2
  1298.  @bloodaonadeline8346  Traditions are just peer pressure from dead people, and being trans is not a mental illness. Conservatism is a dogshit ideology and the sooner it goes away, the better we'll all be off.
    2
  1299. Common sense is a meaningless concept. Homosexuality is in no way the same as anal sex, something which heterosexual people engage in quite a bit as well. And nobody, save for a very small group of fetishists (of a variety of sexual orientations, mind you) wants shit to be involved in any part of their intercourse. There's this thing people do called "hygiene", you may wanna look into it.

  1301. "ThE fAsCiSt PrInCiPlEs Of SoCiAlIsM" lmao
    2
  1302. I don't know what's more offensive, the homophobia or the seemingly random use of double space and bizarre punctuation.
    2
  1303. Nobody chooses their skin color or their sexuality. In that regard they're the same.
    2
  1304. Of course they are. They're men who are trans.
    2
  1305.  @zachman5150  Nope, they're men.
    2
  1306. There's literally nothing wrong with being LGBTQ+.
    2
  1307. Her.
    2
  1308. Name one leftist news outlet. Not liberal, but leftist.
    2
  1309. No, there's literally no evidence. You've just raised a bunch of logical fallacies. The world is not a painting. We know paintings are painted because we know what a painting is and how it's painted. But planets and the life that arose on this one occur naturally. Complexity is not indicative of design, nor is percieved order. Design must be demonstrated.
    2
  1310. No, Omega. Your evidence is just lacking and your indoctrination prevents you from seeing it.
    2
  1311. Saying the word "fact" over and over won't make that statement factually true.
    2
  1312.  @sheldonchatelain3613  You shouldn't exalt them either and ignore the horrible things previous generations have done. The Nazis got a lot of their inspiration from how the Americans ran their Japanese concentration camps in the 1940s.
    2
  1313. As real as any other term.
    2
  1314. How do you know?
    2
  1315. Nah, that's coming from you.
    2
  1316. Living Waters is run by professional liar Ray Comfort.
    2
  1317. That's like saying "I'm a woman, not a tall woman". Cis is an adjective. No one's saying you're not a woman.
    2
  1318. Can't even spell, either. Sad. Wish he'd finally just fuck off.
    2
  1319.  @gabrielmurdoch5707  I would guess it's about how you can use your body's various holes for sex
    2
  1320. Like they thought it is.
    2
  1321.  @mr.mclibtard5015  Like Zeep pointed out, it's not a pronoun. But beyond that, the rejection of "cis" seems to be not about how they identify, because cis people will agree that the definition of cisgender matches how they identify. It's just that they don't want to share the word "woman" with trans women.
    2
  1322.  @crystalcole2674  Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  1323. So periods aren't essential to womanhood if there's already exceptions to it.
    2
  1324. As anyone should.
    2
  1325. So you think you know better than the Holy Spirit now, heathen?
    2
  1326. I've met Mark, and he ran headfirst into a wall and pissed his pants. Now watch him get mad because he can't handle basic truth and facts.
    2
  1327. Arbitrarily making yourself miserable because an ancient book says "gay bad"?
    2
  1328.  A M.  It's relevant mainly to the topic of sex. It shows that sex isn't strictly binary.
    2
  1329. It's not offensive though. And being trans isn't a mental illness.
    2
  1330.  @shadyman3351  Feelings
    2
  1331.  @maikoperez4262  And the notion that Christianity is inherently homophobic is a great reason why people shouldn't follow Christianity.

    2
  1334. The reason people tend to get more conservative as they get older is because they get richer as they get older. And as such they'll support policies that let them hoard as much of that money as they can, instead of reinvesting into society through taxes. Plus, going from a college to a job and a suburb means you're less exposed to new ideas. It's got nothing to do with understanding. In fact, the opposite is true.
    2
  1335. I think you forgot to make an actual argument in there.

    2
  1338. Seems like a change for the better.
    2
  1339. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  1340.  @firstnamelastname4658  Isn't that just when consumed excessively? Porn can be addictive but so can a lot of things, you need to consume them in moderation. And if you can't, then you should stay away from it. And I'd agree that a lot of porn contains misogynistic ideas but that's not true about porn as a whole. I think porn should be improved, not done away with entirely. It can be a perfectly healthy way for people to sexually satisfy themselves by themselves.
    2
  1341.  @firstnamelastname4658  Why is porn inherently dehumanizing? I don't have to see a person as a non-person to think they're hot. And it's not just men getting pleasure from women, mind you.
    2
  1342. If the conservatives didn't want to be corrected, they shouldn't have been wrong.
    2
  1343. @Alpha You've literally been coming here for over a year now just to be an asshole to strangers
    2
  1344. How much are you guys paying for insulin again?
    2
  1345. It means you identify as the gender you were assigned at birth. Basically it means you're not trans.
    2
  1346.  @Nanofuture87  You realize humans are one species, right? A social species, at that. Why would we emulate predator and prey when our ancient ancestors lived and worked together to better the greater whole?
    2
  1347. They did treat it, by transitioning.
    2
  1348. They're all versions of Christianity. And from an outside perspective, your versions of it all look roughly the same.
    2
  1349. I'm talking about a woman who is 100% incapable of getting pregnant.
    2
  1350. But gay people don't deserve a romantic relationship? Is that what you're saying? By the way, if you're in favor of "staying within the boundaries of nature" you should rethink your stance on marriage, since that definitely doesn't occur in nature.
    2
  1351. I'm not against your existence at all, but I find your beliefs reprehensible, and your reliance on this "boundaries of nature" narrative to be misplaced, since homosexuality does occur in nature, unlike the human notion of monogamy.
    2
  1352. You should be grateful to have a job that doesn't pay you enough to live off of?
    2
  1353. That just sounds sad that your beliefs would get in the way of a relationship like that.

  1360. You people will really just vote for anyone huh?
    2
  1361. You say that like it's a bad thing.
    2
  1362. @Topsealguy  "Woke is a political slang adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) originally meaning alertness to racial prejudice and discrimination. Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights." Now why is that a bad thing?
    2
  1363.  @Grant.V  Maybe you'd know some examples if you were a little more woke. Are you unaware of the overturning of Roe v Wade, the many examples of state legislature attacking the rights of trans people to participate in sports or be in public spaces, and the horrific injustices historically inflicted on African Americans, causing a huge amount of inequality in generational wealth for which there's never been reparations?
    2
  1364. No it isn't.
    2
  1365. There's nothing disrespectful about acknowledging that someone is cis.
    2
  1366.  @danielawilliams5988  And why is that?
    2
  1367. Puberty blockers aren't hormones. They prevent hormones from being released. And we've been prescribing them for decades.
    2
  1368. Why's that?
    2
  1369. Cisgender isn't a pronoun... it's literally just an adjective that means you're not trans.

  1370. "The more dogs you have to eat, the more socialist it is." -Carl Marks
    2
  1371. The dinosaurs have the fossil record. What demonstrable evidence is there for the supernatural claims in the bible?
    2
  1372. In some cases, sure. But countries with more gun control have vastly lower levels of gun violence.
    2
  1373. Reading a book where it says that your god states that "homosexuality is a sin worthy of death" would make any decent person realize that this god is a completely immoral monster.
    2
  1374. How are irrational supernatural beliefs and arbitrarily doing what your ancestors did a good foundation for anything?
    2
  1375. Lol no
    2
  1376.  @benjaminmoline5176  Meaning what?
    2
  1377. What do you think about market socialism?
    2
  1378. Freedom, yes. Private property, kind of. One would still be able to own a home, and be able to own a business. The key difference is that a business wouldn't be owned by a single person, but collectively owned by each worker who works there, and decisions would be made democratically.
    2
  1379. qk1001, Do you ask to see the genitalia of everyone you meet to ensure you get the pronouns right? No? Then you don't base it on genitalia.
    2
  1380.  @thehonesttruth415  Saying "hey, you being with your wife is WRONG" isn't very loving.
    2
  1381. If your child is trans and doesn't feel safe telling you, you've failed as a parent.
    2
  1382. What do you mean?
    2
  1383.  @realnashambleats  We have one example of intelligent lifeforms living on a planet, and countless examples of other planets existing. But we have no examples of any gods existing.
    2
  1384.  @saiyanduo643  I liked the comments, because I agreed with them. And you're not on the side of science here, DBZ.
    2
  1385. You're right. Homophobia, for example, is highly detestable.
    2
  1386. Why would you shape an economic system after a natural one where creatures eat each other?
    2
  1387.  @mototechtipuk1147  People aren't naturally selfish. Ancient humans thrived because they formed tribed and worked together. Selfishness is encouraged by capitalism.
    2
  1388.  @isaacclarke7425  You don't choose who you're attracted to and fall in love with.
    2
  1389. I don't have to imagine.
    2
  1390. What do you call someone who inflicts horrible suffering on those who disobey him?
    2
  1391. @Aaron Because conservatism is a dogshit ideology that only benefits the wealthy and the irrational.
    2
  1392. Who is this meant to convince?

  1393. Orinoco, for fuck's sake, give it a rest already.

  1394. You'd know all about stereotyping, huh Horseshit?
    2
  1395. She.
    2
  1396. Assuming that your religious beliefs actually are "the truth".
    2
  1397. How's that, Bob?
    2
  1398. Weird to reduce your womanhood to menstruation.
    2
  1399. If people like you lose faith in the future, we're doing something right.
    2
  1400. What?
    2
  1401. Gender, which is seperate from biological sex, is about what you identify as. People can identify as something that isn't "man" or "woman". As such, more than two genders exist.
    2
  1402.  @niagra898  Okay but what I meant was how you know that's actually the case. Because I'm not aware of any demonstrable evidence showing that "spirits" or "souls" exist. I'm not aware of any examples of minds existing without a physical brain.
    2
  1403.  @janellecappel5650  Do try to explain how.
    2
  1404. I never asked for a human sacrifice.
    2
  1405. No, they didn't work for it. That's the whole problem with capitalism. It allows people to gain wealth through the labor of others.
    2
  1406.  @charlottebuckley08  Can you not actually tell me what the point you're trying to make is?
    2
  1407.  @flowersmakemehappy834  I think people should be free to decide what to do with their organs and their homes.
    2
  1408. No
    2
  1409.  @GuyOnYoutubeIFear  Ignore Tan Tan, they copy and paste that to every LGBTQ+ Christian who posts here.
    2
  1410. Looks like he completely disappeared again. Hopefully permanently this time.
    2
  1411. I wish.
    2
  1412. If you think wealthy people earned all they have through labor and nothing else, you're naive. The wealthy exploit the working class.
    2
  1413. My brother in Christ, you are making the fuss
    2
  1414. It's amazing. I see your comments on just about every Jubilee video, and in every case you always have just about the worst possible take.
    2
  1415.  @lo.fr.8092  Agnosticism and atheism are by no means mutually exclusive, I'm an agnostic atheist. This prayer would be a lie from me though as I don't necessarily want to submit to anyone, this is just about obtaining evidence for theism.
    2
  1416.  @lo.fr.8092  It's only communication if someone actually turns out to be listening. I've tried the talking to your bedroom wall thing before at the request of theists, with nothing to show for it.
    2
  1417.  @lo.fr.8092  See, the thing is, if I were to try to "reach out" and make contact with a god, it would be an experiment. To see if a god truly exists or not. Getting to this "level of honesty" basically seems to entail not being skeptical. I don't want to be open to faith. I want evidence. Because evidence reliably brings you to beliefs that are likely to be true, and faith does not.
    2
  1418. I'm just wondering how you ruled out other possible causes for the intense emotions.
    2
  1419. I'm not denying that those intense emotions are real and impactful, I just don't see how you can make the leap to a supernatural explanation for those feelings, when lots of things can make people experience intense emotions, like beautiful music for example.
    2
  1420. Are you familiar with the concept of adjectives?
    2
  1421. Because capitalism is squeaky clean, huh?
    2
  1422. Source for these statistics?
    2
  1423. Why's that?
    2
  1424. How so?
    2
  1425.  @eternes4080  I don't see how that invalidates her point that the US and the idea of the "American Dream" are built on genocide and exploitation.
    2
  1426. Cerastes, is it OK for a government to force a woman to go through with a bodily function that could potentially kill her, and punish her for seeking medical treatment?
    2
  1427. Why does a fetus get special rights over a grown woman's right to bodily autonomy?
    2
  1428. But a fetus is also not conscious, and not autonomous. To call it a seperate entity is arbitrary at that point as it cannot survive without its host.
    2
  1429. Did that sounds loving in your head? Because it comes across as quite demeaning.
    2
  1430. Incorrect
    2
  1431.  @jaxsterminator8634  I dunno how to tell you this but the other guy got more votes my dude
    2
  1432.  @jaxsterminator8634  Trump sore loser 2020
    2
  1433. The world has limited resources, and yet we have a system that demands constant growth. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that we can't keep that up forever.
    2
  1434. Don't bother with Cerastes, every answer boils down to "book says no"
    2
  1435. If I'd been aborted I would have never gained the mental capacity to form an opinion on abortion.
    2
  1436.  @jamescooke7243  They already did. It came out before this one.
    2
  1437. "Just turn off your brain and believe and obey!" What a wonderful message.
    2
  1438. Being trans isn't a mental illness. Gender dysphoria is treated by transitioning.
    2
  1439. One joke
    2
  1440. Listen to that. The minimum wage shouldn't be enough to live off of? When you flip burgers are you supposed to just temporarily not be able to afford food and rent? Wow, so inspiring.
    2
  1441. Language is a social construct, it's defined by how we use it. People have preferred pronouns. As such, it's not objective.
    2
  1442. Alpha, it's you who is screwing it up for everybody. You think yourself different than adherents of "false religions" but there's literally no difference whatsoever beyond your own biases.
    2
  1443. As if conservatives ever valued logic over feelings.
    2
  1444. So you want kids to be taught less?
    2
  1445. Trans women are real women, just like cis women are.
    2
  1446. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  1447. Okay, and why should we care about any of that?
    2
  1448. The teachers have a responsibility to the kids. Not to the parents.
    2
  1449. Completely false. There's more than enough space for all humans on this earth. There's enough resources too. The problem is they're not distributed fairly.
    2
  1450. But how do you know that's actually true?
    2
  1451. Love happens in people's brains. No deities are involved anywhere in the process as far as I can tell.
    2
  1452. Pro life seems to be more pro birth.
    2
  1453. They call it a cluster of cells because it's not yet a person. An early stage fetus is not a thinking, feeling human being.
    2
  1454.  @natashka1982  Elaborate on that. What does "working smart" mean exactly here?
    2
  1455. What if a righteous person is indoors? Will they fly into the cloud vortex through the ceiling? And if these zombies are rising out of graves, how will their heavily decayed bodies hold together?
    2
  1456. Your comment perfectly demonstrates that the only way you could ever see non-hetero relationships as something bad, is if you based it on unsubstantiated religious beliefs. Gay folks aren't "missing" anything by not forcing themselves to act heterosexual.
    2
  1457. That's kind of sad that she wouldn't officiate her own sister's wedding.
    2
  1458. Marriage existed before Christianity, and Christianity doesn't have a monopoly on marriage.
    2
  1459. They can, though.
    2
  1460. What's wrong with you?
    2
  1461. No, the "pushback" comes from people like Amala. Paid propagandists who propagate this hysterical transphobic moral panic.
    2
  1462. What an evil thing to say.
    2
  1463.  @sherinajacksonsonko6178  You're evil because you blame murderous hate crimes on the victims.
    2
  1464.  @india1846  Jeez, how's that boot tasting?
    2
  1465. Lmao, ok snowflake
    2
  1466. Nobody's born a man or a woman though. Everybody's born as an androgynous little baby who is then assigned a gender based on what genitals the doctor can see. Usually correct, but not always.
    2
  1467. Sometimes it feels like you guys actually want to be disliked, the way some of you try to gatekeep people with decent social and moral values out of your religion.
    2
  1468.  @melissa-c4x  What I mean is that insisting that only Christian fundamentalism is "true Christianity" makes Christianity look bad. Because Christian fundamentalism is regressive and harmful.
    2
  1469.  @melissa-c4x  Because I actually care about the world and the people in it. I want people to be treated with fairness and equality, and I want the environment to be taken care of so people can continue to live healthy lives for generations to come. Whereas fundamentalists (as far as I'm aware, correct me if I'm wrong) think humans are inherently evil, think there's something immoral about being LGBTQ+, and think taking care of the environment is meaningless because the planet will soon be abandoned in some kind of apocalyptic ascension event.
    2
  1470. The one that works for Prager U?
    2
  1471. I don't think Cindy would deny that she has privilege.
    2
  1472. Everyone should be anti-fascist.
    2
  1473. Who is this meant to convince?
    2
  1474. Science is a human-developed method.
    2
  1475. Science isn't "the way it all works", it's a method humans developed for, simply put, arriving at conclusions that are the most likely to be true.
    2
  1476. Gender dysphoria is recognized by the DSM-5 as a mental disorder. The recommended treatment for it is transitioning.
    2
  1477. Trans women are women who are trans, not "confused men". And conservatives are far from normal.
    2
  1478. But they can get an abortion.
    2
  1479. And calling an embryo a "child" is misleading and emotionally charged.
    2
  1480. Can you prove "eternal life" actually exists?
    2
  1481. You're in no position to be accusing people of having their own little fairy tale realities.
    2
  1482. How do you recognize an answered prayer?
    2
  1483.  @matt1325  Possessing consciousness and awareness of the self.
    2
  1484.  @matt1325  I do think non-human beings can be persons. I don't know if I'd consider a rat a person, they are more intelligent than people give them credit for but I don't think they have the same awareness of the self. If you look at dolphins for example, they have the ability to recognize themsleves in a mirror.
    2
  1485. But trans rights don't alter everybody else's everyday living.
    2
  1486. You are a grown man who literally believes in an evil supernatural gremlin man going around messing with people's minds.
    2
  1487. No one needs that creep.
    2
  1488. Labeling all non-heterosexual attraction as "lust" is dishonest.
    2
  1489. You'd have to? Is it that important to you that they never learn that LGBTQ+ people exist?
    2
  1490. So you've in favor of puberty blockers then.
    2
  1491. Show demonstrable, observable evidence of your supernatural claims or it's meaningless.
    2
  1492. That reactionary conservatives are worth listening to? Apparently.
    2
  1493. So infertile cis women aren't women?
    2
  1494.  @teaganboyd1856  Not much of a sacrifice then is it
    2
  1495. What the fuck is "the act"
    2
  1496. You're explaining how what billionaires do is legal, but that has nothing to do with the morality of it. "Passive income" will always just mean that because someone already has wealth, they can simply take money that others work for. Whether through a business they profit from or real estate they rent out. And all it does is make the wealthy wealthier and the poor poorer. What's the point of having this bizarre game where some people own seven houses and go to space for fun, and some people juggle multiple degrading low paying jobs to pay their rent? It doesn't need to work like that.
    2
  1497. Well where is the proof?
    2
  1498. These aren't proofs though, they're examples of modern scientific discoveried read into vague ancient texts. Except for maybe the fetus one but that would easily be discoverable by ancient people by observing miscarriages. Let me ask you this. I have a book that says 10 things. 9 of the 10 things are demonstrably correct. Does that tell you anything about whether the 10th thing is correct?
    2
  1499. The reason they don't want to be called cis is because it'd mean acknowledging trans women are women too.
    2
  1500.  @crate249  "The Spanish Flu" didn't originate in Spain, it's not exactly comparable. Meanwhile, there's been a demonstrable increase in discrimination against Chinese people since Covid-19. And calling it the "Chinese virus" certainly doesn't help in that regard.
    2
  1501.  @crate249  Well what actual reason is there to stubbornly refer to it as "the Chinese Virus" despite it widely being known as Covid-19, or just the Coronavirus?
    2
  1502.  @crate249  So it is about blaming a nationality of people for the virus?
    2
  1503. It's survivorship bias.
    2
  1504. How so, Rafaello?
    2
  1505. Good

  1506.  @tiggzr9744  Oh yeah definitely. Still seems to be a majority white thing though.
    2
  1507. You're just against the concept of listening to your kids entirely? If your child said he fell and broke his arm, you'd say "no you didn't"?
    2
  1508. Why?
    2
  1509. ​@sofia11102 Why are you using your hands to control an electronic device? That is unnatural and not what they were made for. Your tapping on your phone is selfish and will cause an earthquake.
    2
  1510. The terms "left" and "right" appeared during the French Revolution of 1789 when members of the National Assembly divided into supporters of the king to the president's right and supporters of the revolution to his left.
    2
  1511. Nor is one of the cis women in the video, so what's your point exactly?
    2
  1512. So pregnancy is a punishment for sex?
    2
  1513. No, I was not born into a religious family or raised to believe a certain religion. I was exposed to Catholicism throughout my childhood but not taught to believe it.
    2
  1514.  @toglorifyGod1  I don't think you understood my last comment.
    2
  1515. Eight men, dipshit.
    2
  1516.  @caca-iq8wf  Allegedly.
    2
  1517.    Humans generally have two legs, because as you just said, sometimes they don't.
    2
  1518.    Most people have two eyes, yes. But not all of them. The one-eyed people are exceptions but they still exist, making an absolute like "humans have two eyes" false.
    2
  1519. They're men, dipshit.
    2
  1520. Oh yes, it must've been such a struggle to be born rich and then proceed to hoard gargantuan amounts of wealth by exploiting your workers
    2
  1521. And there's nothing wrong with being gay.
    2
  1522. But then you're starting with the position that a god is responsible for the existence of the world, a position that you didn't arrive at through science.
    2
  1523. Let's not give nazis another public plaftorm.
    2
  1524. Where was he hiding?
    2
  1525. American police is "too nice"??? What, you want them to shoot more innocent civilians? What the fuck is wrong with you?
    2
  1526. How does socialism "always" lead to dictatorship?
    2
  1527. bLuE hAiR bAd
    2
  1528. I thought we were talking about getting rich, Jordan. Why are you talking about homelessness? And do you not think capitalism has gotten countless people killed as well?
    2
  1529. What makes you think communism or socialism requires mass death? Can you only envision it under some kind of authoritarian government?
    2
  1530. Greed is not a positive trait. So why build a system around it? I don't think greed is natural at all. And I'm in favor of market socialism, not anything close to what the Soviet Union represented.
    2
  1531. The benefit in "curtailing this powerful motivator" is that greed drives humanity to exploit each other. We have an enormous income inequality gap right now, where a tiny minority of people own most of the wealth, while others barely make do. It's not working.
    2
  1532. Mibo Mo, what the fuck are you talking about? Statistics are a reflection of reality far more accurate than any one example of a successful person.
    2
  1533.  @TheBirdierouge  I don't want to get rid of people to create a better society, I just want to have a society where everyone's basic needs are met and everyone's personal freedoms are maximized, but not to the point where they're able to exploit other people for their own benefit or harm them in other ways. It would take a lot of reform (or a revolution) to get there though.
    2
  1534.  @orange3567  You're goddamn right.
    2
  1535. The punishment is that their freedom is taken away.
    2
  1536.  @chaithanya5427  It's not about making them suffer, that has no overall benefit for society. The point is to seperate them from society at large and potentially rehabilitate them. In the US the penal system has absolutely failed at these goals however (in typical capitalist fashion they'd prefer to use prisons to make financial profit) so I can see why some might think that the point is to make inmates' lives miserable.
    2
  1537.  @mooncrow9325  How?
    2
  1538.  MoonCrow  You're being a disingenuous jackass when you demand proof for things that are literally just things inside someone's head that you can't possibly demonstrate. If I told you my favorite type of cheese you're free to shout "PROVE IT OR I DON'T BELIEVE YOU" but it won't make you less of a jackass.
    2
  1539. True! Christians can only be leftists. I don't make the rules.
    2
  1540. They do! Trans women playing sports generally are required to undergo a certain amount of hormone therapy before they're eligible to compete against other women.
    2
  1541.  @robertnorris8831  Okay but being LGBTQ+ isn't a bad thing either.
    2
  1542. Psst, it's difficult and harmful because of society's response to it, not because of anything innate to being gay. How did you not think of that?
    2
  1543. More like realizing that someone whose counterpoint is "well uhhh gay people told me being gay is bad" isn't worth talking to.
    2
  1544. You still haven't named any of this actual "inherent harm" you're so adamant exists. Glad you're happy enough with your own comments to give em a like though.
    2
  1545. And your reason for believing these nebulous harmful aspects of homosexuality are inherent to it is...?
    2
  1546. I don't have the time or patience to undo what I can only assume has been years of indoctrination into the bizarre mindset of "straight white male victimhood". All the best, hopefully you'll grow out of it eventually.
    2
  1547. "I want to make enough money to survive" "wOw dOn'T bE sO eNtItLeD"
    2
  1548. So because he's a child he can't be trans? How does that work?
    2
  1549.  @trueymane  He seems to be desperate for attention. People like him shouldn't be brought on for this stuff, it only encourages their disturbing obsessive behavior.
    2
  1550. What "beliefs" would those be?
    2
  1551. That's an argument from ignorance fallacy. Just because you don't know how human life came to exist through natural processes, doesn't mean a god did it.
    2
  1552. Fascists shouldn't be given a platform.
    2
  1553.  @unaidhoore4031  He's literally a self-described theocratic fascist.

  1556. Taking it from them is necessary.
    2
  1557. Fuck off, bootlicker.
    2
  1558. Source? Because all the ones I've read state that they are reversible. You can stop taking them and puberty will kick in.
    2
  1559. Not really. It used to be true to some degree because people got wealthier as they got older, and thus more inclined to support political policies that supported their own selfish interests, but now that's not really the case anymore.
    2
  1560.  @gregoryturnier7337  Conservatism and wisdom don't exactly go together, I see it more closely tied with ignorance. This "everything is earned" mentality ignores the existence of privilege and luck. It's getting across a perilous half-destroyed bridge and arguing the bridge doesn't need repairs because you got across it just fine. Conservatism is ignoring reality because you prefer the narrative that the existing inequalities in the world are there because they ought to be there. That everyone at the top got there fair and square, and everyone at the bottom just didn't work hard enough.
    2
  1561.  @gregoryturnier7337  That's not what privilege means. If someone works for something then that's their achievement. But being born into a wealthy family for example is a privilege. Or being born without disabilities. Or being born as an ethnicity that doesn't face a lot of discrimination. Not everyone starts from the same point or has a journey that's equally difficult.
    2
  1562. Conservatives are confused.
    2
  1563. What's wrong with the term cisgender? I'm cisgender too.
    2
  1564. Better stay away from the shrimp
    2
  1565. So then you're a trans woman?
    2
  1566. James, what happened to make you such a vile person that you can't see the value of a human life beyond what they can offer the economy? Do you realize that the economy is supposed to work for humanity, and not the other way around?
    2
  1567.  100 subs before 202l  There's that good ol' conservative anti-intellectualism
    2
  1568. Nobody wants to hear from that sad creep.
    2
  1569. Nobody "works their way up to being a billionaire". Such a gargantuan amount of money can only be hoarded through the exploitation of others, it's literally impossible to work for that.
    2
  1570. In order to make more and more money, others have to work hard for you. That's how that works. That's how the divide keeps growing.
    2
  1571.  @nelsona3468  How is it "obviously fair" that having money is rewarded more than actual labor?
    2
  1572. There are no men in this video
    2
  1573. That sounds like wishful thinking to me.
    2
  1574. People aren't using belief in the tooth fairy to justify legislating LGBTQ+ people's rights away.
    2
  1575.  @skylarhillman1455  What do you mean by "life beginning"?
    2
  1576.  @luxither7354  When you're talking about "becoming your own unique human being" that seems like a question of personhood, which I don't think an embryo qualifies for considering it appears to be non-sentient. If you're talking about simply being alive, well, sperm cells are alive too and I don't feel the need to protect those.
    2
  1577. Religion and morality are not synonymous though. You can be moral without religion, and religious teachings can sometimes be quite immoral.
    2
  1578. Makes video called "Do all feminists think the same?" Invites woman who goes by the username "prolifebarbie" ?????
    2
  1579. @HeIIo_theree  Absolutely not. There's no divide between these communities, but reactionary transphobic ghouls are trying to act like there is. We shouldn't give that idea a shred of legitimacy.
    2
  1580. There's nothing disrespectful about the term cisgender.
    2
  1581.  @panemp3  Women are women, yes. And cisgender women are women who are cisgender. It's an adjective meaning someone who isn't trans. The only reasons I can imagine why someone would object to that is if they have some kind of personal vendetta against the concept of adjectives, or if they simply resent having to "share" the term "woman" with trans women.
    2
  1582.  @panemp3  It's not derogatory. I'm cisgender as well.
    2
  1583. Being trans isn't a mental illness.
    2
  1584.  @mohammadt8570  Source?
    2
  1585.  @mohammadt8570  We don't determine whether or not something is a mental illness by "common sense". Try again.
    2
  1586.  @mohammadt8570  We actually have medical professionals who determine that sort of thing. And the standard classification of mental disorders used by mental health professionals is the DSM-5, compiled and published by the American Psychiatric Association. Which does not list being trans as a mental illness.
    2
  1587. Ew, an authoritarian puritan.
    2
  1588. Not relevant to the video.
    2
  1589. Dudes can sleep with each other just fine, what are you talking about?
    2
  1590. "Mr. Putin, shall we commence invasion of the US?" "No, are you crazy? There is man there named Cletus with hunting rifle!"
    2
  1591. He's not even a little bit factual.
    2
  1592. Gay people have been around far longer than your religion has.
    2
  1593. I would guess she already takes them regularly, considering the red pill from the Matrix represents an estrogen pill.
    2
  1594. How do you know?
    2
  1595. She's a reactionary grifter working for Prager U.
    2
  1596.  @jesuschristismyking3040  LGBTQ+ people didn't "choose a path" though, they didn't choose to be gay, bi, trans, etc.
    2
  1597. Why can't this god simply make his existence known? Then people can actually make an informed decision. Right now it's just a gullibility test.
    2
  1598. Being trans isn't a mental disorder. And how are kids not ready to handle the idea that trans people exist?
    2
  1599.  @zachman5150  Again with the non-sequitur responses. Go play in traffic, Zach.
    2
  1600. People don't choose who they're attracted to. This is so extremely obvious that I genuinely think anyone who believes otherwise is simply lying, possibly even to themselves.
    2
  1601. Z P's obsession with trans people continues...
    2
  1602. Market socialism. The government takes care of people's basic needs, and other goods and services are provided by democratically owned businesses.
    2
  1603. bOoK sAyS nO
    2
  1604. Those statements don't contradict each other
    2
  1605. You absolutely can, and people have done so throughout human history.
    2
  1606. I get that it's the point of the video, but I find conservatism abhorrent and harmful and I don't see finding a middle ground with it as something helpful.
    2
  1607. So medical experts keep confirming that if you're suffering from gender dysphoria, transitioning helps. But let's ignore all that because some random dipshit says you just need to "become self aware".
    2
  1608. Her.
    2
  1609. Don't kid yourself, Vox/Avatar/whatever you're calling yourself this week. You're not a normal person by any means.
    2
  1610. How does religion help science?
    2
  1611.  @sashahorsthuis6909  You are engaging in Capitalist Realism, talking as though the only options are wealthy individualy privately owning a business and profiting off the labor of its employees, or there being no jobs. Let go of the assumption that a workplace needs to be privately owned. Goods can be created without the goal of making a profit for a private owner. We can see this being done today through worker cooperatives, in which a business is owned and managed by the people that work there.
    2
  1612. Yeah, like the wonderful design of one hole to breathe and eat through so I can choke on my food and die.

    2
  1614. How do you know?
    2
  1615. Because it's demonstrably effective at treating gender dysphoria
    2
  1616. Sperm cells are alive. Is ejaculation genocide?
    2
  1617. Ah, I see Z P has volunteered to be a perfect example of a transphobic shithead who, despite posting transphobic hate speech on literally a daily basis, still hasn't been banned.
    2
  1618. Humans created marriage.
    2
  1619. Nobody can go to heaven. Because it's not real. You're being homophobic for a fantasy.
    2
  1620. So you're a trans woman?
    2
  1621.  @famousprophets_stars  Hating love between consenting partners of the same gender is an irrational, harmful, and reprehensible position.
    2
  1622. You're completely delusional.
    2
  1623. Puberty blockers are the opposite of hormonal medication though. Puberty releases hormones that change the body, and puberty blockers delay that. You can stop taking them and puberty will happen.
    2
  1624. None of the above
    2
  1625. What "actions" do you "not support"?
    2
  1626. Being socially accepted is a basic human need. Anyone would be depressed if every day you were treated like you're something you're not.
    2
  1627. They are men, though.
    2
  1628.  @Conejo147  Yup, they are. No matter how much your little feelings might disagree, snowflake.

  1629. What "dark path"?

  1630.  @ivandrago782  "YOu hAte CApiTALISm anD YET iphONe"
    2
  1631. I think we can be a little more nuanced in our thinking than that
    2
  1632. Why not?
    2
  1633. Really?
    2
  1634. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  1635.  @fMONA94  Not biological? What are they, androids?
    2
  1636. Because not only is the adoption system already filled with more children than people are willing to adopt, a woman shouldn't be forced by her government to give birth without her consent. Childbirth can cause permanent injury or even death.
    2
  1637.  @covaciumarius  Oh damn you're right, I forgot men don't have a face and lips
    2
  1638. Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.
    2
  1639.  @miksaneksmind4399  No, like I said, they're men who are trans.
    2
  1640. Scam thread.
    2
  1641.  @JNM578  Weren't there a whole bunch of stories last year about Amazon workers being overworked and having to pee in bottles to save time?
    2
  1642. Seems like a great answer to give when something's not happening
    2
  1643. @Çaesar Humans "created" marriage.
    2
  1644. @Çaesar It's literally just a religious/legal/social concept that's taken many forms throughout history. I put "created" in quotation marks because it's a social construct.
    2
  1645. You're wrong! Wanna keep going like that for a while? You'll have lots of your own comments to 👍!
    2
  1646. Ah, of course. The path to a happy life is to devote your entire existence to capitalism until either your body or your mind breaks. Great idea.
    2
  1647. When you're poor, failure is devastating and threatens your basic necessities. When you're already wealthy, taking the risk and failing is a minor setback. The rich have a much easier time getting richer.
    2
  1648.  @arathan9305  Oh, definitely.
    2
  1649. He and Cerastes are seemingly obsessed with being the Christianity police on this video's comments. It's despicable.
    2
  1650. Why shouldn't kids be aware that gay people exist?
    2
  1651. There is no amount of work that one person can do in a lifetime that would earn them a billion dollars.
    2
  1652. She.
    2
  1653. How does it take any faith at all?
    2
  1654. How?
    2
  1655. My goodness, you must be quite old. I'd just like to say that I like how you made the autistic man say "Bazinga!"
    2
  1656. What kind of monster would make homosexuality a capital crime? You worship that thing?
    2
  1657. Of course there is.
    2
  1658. You think mainstream news organizations are leftist? Lmao
    2
  1659. Most people owning nothing and a select few owning everything is literally capitalism lmao
    2
  1660. It happened relatively recently and had repercussions that are still felt today. People today have parents or grandparents who lived in a time where legal segregation existed.
    2
  1661. @BorisVixen The distinction between "false religion" and "true religion" is a nonexistent one.
    2
  1662.  @crate249  In that case, serial killers are the most oppressed minority in the world.
    2
  1663.  @crate249  My point is that oppression isn't just about being treated harshly, because sometimes that harsh treatment is somewhat warranted. We isolate violent criminals from the rest of society because they're likely to harm others. And when someone expresses shitty opinions, they're likely to be criticized for it.
    2
  1664. Hey remember when they broke into the Capitol with firearms
    2
  1665. Send those grifters home, and send Tate back to jail.
    2
  1666. Sounds pretty irrational. Why?
    2
  1667.  @EverydayAdam  Sure, but I never hear anyone say "there's no such thing as a conservative Christian".
    2
  1668.  @legend-mj4gv  People hate conservatives because they make things worse, not much more to it
    2
  1669. Suhyun, can you demonstrate that what you're claiming is actually true?
    2
  1670. What "views" are being pushed on you?
    2
  1671. Why is science blind without religion?
    2
  1672. HRRRRGGGGGG HE SHIRT TOO SHORT!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡
    2
  1673.  @ohnoyoucantrustme5364  White people are more likely to get a housing loan when controlled for financial history. White people are less likely to be randomly pulled over or searched by police. White kids are more likely to have access to a good school and inherited wealth. And white people in the USA, despite the country being a mix of many different cultures and ethnicities, are regarded as the "norm" in ways that are usually small and insignificant on their own but add up. Facial recognition tech is developed with white people in mind. Bandaids are beige by default. Bear in mind that white privilege doesn't mean that white people didn't earn anything, or never face poverty or adversity. Or that it's about hating white people. It's just about being cognisant of the fact that some people have certain hurdles to jump that others don't have to. And also bear in mind that white privilege isn't the only kind of privilege, there's lots of different kinds of privilege, like being able-bodied, or neurotypical, or cisgender, or male, or attractive, or part of your area's dominant religion.
    2
  1674. And a sperm cell, if you shoot it into an ovulating woman's womb, will become a baby. But we don't arbitrarily assign personhood to sperm cells, or even attempt to prevent hundreds of millions of them dying with every ejaculation.
    2
  1675. Sure, but it's senseless to never try to find love, affection, romance, or sex when it's something you want in your life.
    2
  1676. "A socialist society where you don't own anything"? Nice job immediately showing you don't know what socialism means.
    2
  1677. In short, communal ownership of the means of production.
    2
  1678. Ownership in this context refers to companies, factories, farms, etc. These would not be owned by a single owner who is at the top of a hierarchical structure, but it would be owned by everyone who worked there. And they would vote on how their organization is run much like we vote for how our country is run. There would still be personal belongings of course. I'm not in favor of any kind of totalitarianism or authoritarianism. I don't know why you're talking about taking children away when that has nothing to do with communal ownership of the means of production.
    2
  1679. Cerastes, why are you such an obnoxious piece of shit? You don't need to fucking harass every single LGBTQ+ friendly Christian.
    2
  1680. Ugh, again with that nonsense. You can't say you "love the sinner" when you irrationally hate their sexuality.
    2
  1681.  @CAM8689  Being LGBTQ+ is something you are, not something you do.
    2
  1682. What the hell is "extremistic" about modern feminism?
    2
  1683. Transphobes tend to lie, I'll give you that.
    2
  1684. I can't imagine what it's like to go through life as an adult who believes in an evil supernatural bogeyman.
    2
  1685. How's that?
    2
  1686. If this God exists, he's not obligated to show himself. But I'm not obligated to be convinced that something exists when there's no demonstrable evidence that it does.
    2
  1687. Trans women have been using women's spaces for decades. Predators aren't pretending to be trans to enter these spaces.
    2
  1688. What exactly is it that you "don't agree with"?
    2
  1689. I didn't ask you.
    2
  1690. Being LGBTQ+ isn't a lifestyle or a choice though.
    2
  1691. How was he wrong?
    2
  1692. Plenty of people fuck without getting "spiritually bonded" whatever that even means.
    2
  1693. No god has ever been demonstrated to exist scientifically.
    2
  1694. ​ @zachman5150  Stop consuming oxygen.
    2
  1695. ​ @zachman5150  Fascist filth.
    2
  1696.  @leveltrucks6705  Claims from an ancient book and personal testimonies about trips to hell are not demonstrable evidence.
    2
  1697. Don't get into a car with Avatar, folks. He doesn't understand what consent means.
    2
  1698. It's sad to see people regurgitating this "mindset" phrase all the time and ignoring the material realities causing the ever-growing wealth divide.
    2
  1699. It's harmful that you're encouraging this behavior. Nobody should be expected to repress their sexuality when they otherwise wouldn't be hurting anyone.
    2
  1700. Or if someone really cares that much, they could just ask. I don't see why a trans person would be obligated to announce that. It's not like being trans is contagious.
    2
  1701. @Becksnnc  It's only deception if the trans person in question claimed to be cis. Otherwise that would've just been an assumption on the other person's part.
    2
  1702. Orinoco. No one is asking you to be the Christianity police. So why do you keep trying?
    2
  1703. I'd call it policing when literally every LGBTQ+ or LGBTQ+-friendly Christian who comments here gets a reply telling them they're not a "true Christian".
    2
  1704. Again, it matters because regardless of the truth or non-truth of your religious beliefs, you're actively and constantly trying to influence people into thinking there's something wrong with being LGBTQ+. That's harmful. Especially when you tell that to impressionable young people. I've seen you talk to LGBTQ+ teenagers and tell them that their identity is not valid.
    2
  1705.  @mouwersor  Wow, look at you, misgendering a trans person. You're such a brave freedom fighter.
    2
  1706. Cis is literally just an adjective that means you're not trans. Do you disagree with that characterization?
    2
  1707.  @KickingItWithJay  Poor people don't have a lot of money that they're ok with losing. See the problem now? The rich can afford to take risks that poor people can't.
    2
  1708.  @KickingItWithJay  Plenty of rich people were born rich.
    2
  1709.  @KickingItWithJay  But those actions exploit the working class. That's not solving anyone's poverty but your own, and so it can never be a solution to poverty. Making yourself rich can only work if poor people exist.
    2
  1710.  @KickingItWithJay  Imagine there's a poor part of a city, where people have very little money. They're stuck there, and in order for them to get out of that part of the city, they have to win a game. What you're suggesting is giving people tips and tricks on how to beat the game. And what I'm advocating for is the removal of the game, because no one should be trapped in poverty because they have to play a game they can't beat.

  1711. Therapist: Reactionary Nagito isn't real, he can't hurt you. Reactionary Nagito:

  1712. Why should they get the death penalty?
    2
  1713. It's almost like Headless is really dishonest. 🤔
    2
  1714.  @youngkriss8572  Data doesn't support the notion that the death penalty deters crime to any substantial degree.
    2
  1715.  @logut80  There's bolt action rifles.

  1717. She said she has three boys.
    2
  1718.  @jackandcoke39  Trans boys are boys, Nick. Gender and sex aren't the same thing, and her children's chromosomes aren't really your concern.
    2
  1719. Why?
    2
  1720. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  1721. Seems like he has to raise his voice because these idiots keep talking over him about random nonsense.
    2
  1722. How is it a fact? Do you have a source?
    2
  1723. Are you saying America is a fascist state?
    2
  1724. Sounds pretty irrational and extremistic.
    2
  1725. If you're not religious then why do you care about people strictly adhering to the bible?
    2
  1726. Oh cool, more patriarchal garbage.
    2
  1727. So God is an ape? Does he have bowels? Armpit hair? A colon? A scrotum?
    2
  1728. Why is a zygote a person directly after conception? At that point it's pretty much the sum of its parts. Would you consider a sperm cell and an egg cell to each be half a person?
    2
  1729. Being LGBTQ+ is not a mental illness, nor is it political. And teaching about them is beneficial, as it makes them more understanding towards LGBTQ+ people and makes them feel more accepted if they themselves happen to be LGBTQ+.
    2
  1730.  @pleasantdashi7112  What if a kid is gay? They might be confused about who they are for years and years. If their parents are homophobic they'd be living with fear, guilt, and shame over what they're feeling.
    2
  1731. Cool, you made it out of poverty. That doesn't say anything about other people's ability to get out of poverty. This is survivorship bias.
    2
  1732. A two day old baby is capable of surviving without occupying someone else's body, so by then it's a non-discussion.
    2
  1733. Trump is an embarassment to anyone who isn't a member of his cult of personality. Lecherous, blatantly narcissistic, and petty. Those qualities are always right there on the surface.
    2
  1734. Great example of how "sin" has nothing to do with immorality.
    2
  1735. True, conservatives are freaks.
    2
  1736. "lEgAl GoOd IlLeGaL bAd" You do realize that the distinction is arbitrary, right?
    2
  1737. That's not what cis means...
    2
  1738. Imagine unironically quoting Ben Shapiro LMAO
    2
  1739. Phnx, the fact that you unironically typed that sentence shows you're a lost cause.
    2
  1740.  @ELias-vn5yv  Bit early, but thanks I suppose
    2
  1741. The thing about facts is that they're demonstrable. What he was saying certainly was not.
    2
  1742.  @ifychamelo7030  I'm an agnostic atheist.
    2
  1743.  @ifychamelo7030  I'm an atheists because I don't believe in any gods, and agnostic because I don't know either way wherher or not a god exists with certainty. Because it's not something I can investigate scientifically.
    2
  1744.  @ifychamelo7030  My non-belief is just that, the absence of belief. I don't hold a belief in a world without a god, I just don't subscribe to the belief that one exists. Because I don't know. As for my morals, I get them where most people get them. A combination of empathy, a desire for a better world, and an understanding of the consequences of one's actions.
    2
  1745.  @ifychamelo7030  I mean, if Christianity isn't true, then "God's morals" are just the moral standards of some people in the bronze age. I'd rather judge things for myself. Especially considering biblical moral standards haven't been very good to things like LGBTQ+ rights.
    2
  1746. Things that exist in reality are demonstrable by science. Why is your god an exception to this? I mean, I can think of one reason...
    2
  1747. How do you know it was made by a god?
    2
  1748. Stop dodging my question. How do you know a god created this world?
    2
  1749. Egalitarian, how many accounts do you use to spam that same list?
    2
  1750. And one that seems easily thwarted by this god simply providing evidence for his existence. Which, as an all-powerful being, should be trivially easy. And yet, belief without evidence is required...
    2
  1751. Killing someone isn't moral if they deserve it, it's moral if it prevents harm or makes people's lives better in some way. In the case of a murderer, it's enough if they're imprisoned, separated from society and not hurting anyone anymore. Killing them wouldn't solve anything, except maybe sate some sort of urge for revenge.
    2
  1752. No they didn't though. That's the whole point.
    2
  1753. Why does someone need to go through adolescence before they can know that trans people exist?
    2
  1754. Just put your fingers in your ears and bury your head in the sand.
    2
  1755. Well I didn't vote for him.
    2
  1756. Let alone billionaires
    2
  1757. Thanks for demonstrating that "pro-lifers" are just authoritarians.
    2
  1758. Weird how you guys never say this about "conservative Christianity".
    2
  1759.  @therealdebbiecakes  The insistence that progressive Christians aren't "real Christians" is never applied to conservative Christians.
    2
  1760. Reactionary cultists aren't the "silent majority" by any means, they're a loud minority.
    2
  1761.  @oocanadat1  No, it's what we call people who have been indoctrinated into a set of religious beliefs.
    2
  1762. After slavery came many decades of apartheid, which only ended about half a century ago. To think that slavery went away without any lasting repercussions is simply ignorant.
    2
  1763. It's survivorship bias. I like to imagine a rickety, unsafe bridge with a carpentry workshop on the other side. People try to get across the bridge, but 9 out of 10 fall into the river. The 1 who makes it to the other side chooses not to use the carpentry workshop because he got across the bridge just fine, so it doesn't need any repairs.
    2
  1764. Follow your leader and leave this world early.
    2
  1765. I hope you get exactly what you deserve, filth.

  1766. Just microwave it for a minute
    2
  1767.  @zachman5150  Obsessed. Now let the other person answer, if you would.
    2
  1768.  @Melody2004.  It's a female gender identity.
    2
  1769. Conservatives are the crazies.
    2
  1770. Please find a better role model.
    2
  1771. Some people crave the feeling of peace and reassurance they get from religious belief, but don't agree with the immoral teachings. Honestly, I'd rather have Christians who don't completely follow the bible, as they tend to be morally better people than the hardcore ones.
    2
  1772.  @thankyouforbeingafriend9632  But it helps
    2
  1773. Atheists come in all kinds of political stances, so it could be anywhere between great and absolutely horrible.
    2
  1774.  @honestfriend767  How can a non-existent place be hot?
    2
  1775.  @honestfriend767  I guarantee you that I won't.
    2
  1776. It has more to do with wealth. Wealthier people tend to be more conservative because they want to keep their wealth, that's pretty much all there's to it.
    2
  1777.  @JimmyEatWorm  Exactly.
    2
  1778. Trans is an adjective. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  1779.  @sohailahaithem2424  She.
    2
  1780.  @deonjonesjr1396  "Biological woman" is a meaningless phrase as gender is not a matter of biology. All gender is socially constructed. You cannot point to any biological factor that will determine one's womanhood or manhood without inadvertently leaving people out of that categorization who you would otherwise consider to be women or men respectively. There's women without a uterus or with a y chromosome. There's men without testes. To insist that gender depends on biological factors is both inaccurate and also completely useless as a practical definition. Because in everyday interactions, you don't know anything about most people's genitals or chromosomes. You likely don't even know for a fact what your own chromosomal makeup is.
    2
  1781.  @sohailahaithem2424  Completely missed the point. You seem determined to never learn.
    2
  1782. Even when she compared relationships between consenting adults to child abuse?
    2
  1783. Someone can still be falsely convicted for a rape they didn't commit.
    2
  1784. Well I'm sorry the lines are blurrier than you'd like, Kailie, but they are. There's no one point where a non-person becomes a person. It's a gradual development. But during the early stages of development an embryo can't be considered a person unless you really, really stretch the definition. At that point you might as well call every woman a serial killer for killing an egg cell every month.
    2
  1785. A non-person is that which is not a person. I don't see how this is complicated. Do you honestly believe a zygote, little more than the sum of its parts, is equivalent to a thinking, feeling person?
    2
  1786. An acorn is not an oak tree.
    2
  1787. Trans men are men.
    2
  1788.  @benflanagan7149  I didn't say her books sold poorly. I said her writing was mediocre.
    2
  1789. Because one side is trans women and one side is conservative women?
    2
  1790.  @saidnaitsalh3251  Yeah, trans women are women.
    2
  1791. Religion cn lead to tremendous harm, as has been demonstrated many times and continues to be demonstrated. People can find individual meaning in their lives without appealing to religion.
    2
  1792. Personally, I think only a life without religion is meaningful. We're all born into this world not knowing why we are who we are, on this planet, in this time period. And personally, I see much more value in exploring what life has to offer and how you can improve it for the other humans (and other animals) who were born into this world with the same questions, than following an ancient set of traditions.
    2
  1793. Religion isn't required for empathy or morality.
    2
  1794. That's just blatantly untrue, and it again implies that religion is required for morality. Which, again, is just not the case. What's moral and what's legal are two seperate things. Funnily enough though, it's religion that tends to treat morality and law as the same thing. Is it not a grave sin to break a commandment, regardless of whether or not it is moral?
    2
  1795.  @zachman5150  But you're essentially arguing that people who get t-boned by a drunk driver shouldn't get medical attention because they chose to drive.
    2
  1796.  @zachman5150  That's an oxymoron. Also, I wasn't asking you.
    2
  1797. The Ultimate Boomer
    2
  1798. No one's saying you're not a woman. I don't get what the issue is with being called cisgender. It just means you're not trans.
    2
  1799. Pretty shitty to make fun of a stranger's appearance as some kind of joke on someone else
    2
  1800. Why does a fetus get special rights over those of adult women? A fetus has the right to be fully developed and born, but a woman doesn't have the right to control what goes on in her own body?
    2
  1801. If you are not transgender, congratulations, you're a cisgender person. That's literally all it means. Getting upset over this is like getting upset over being called "straight".
    2
  1802. Yes, and that exploitation is bad. That's the point. It shouldn't be that way. The system needs to change.
    2
  1803. Cool. I had a dream two nights ago where I was in a video game and I had a pet chicken.
    2
  1804. Do you think people decide to be gay?
    2
  1805.  ABC123jd  Why did you ignore the argument to throw a hissy fit about her accurate language?
    2
  1806. There's no evidence that suggests the "garden of eden" narrative has any basis in reality. The earth has always been cruel and inhospitable.
    2
  1807. He's a moron.
    2
  1808. Reactionaries think yelling "POINT!! BLANK!!! PERRIIOODDDTTT!!!" makes them correct.
    2
  1809. What "type of living"?
    2
  1810.  @aprylflynn526  Being LGBTQ+ isn't a decision.
    2
  1811.  @aprylflynn526  If a gay person comes out as gay they just become openly gay. But they were gay before they came out.
    2
  1812. At what?
    2
  1813.  @dkennylee  Wealth for some I suppose. And opportunity? Economic mobility has declined in the US, and globally it's ranked 27th in that aspect.
    2
  1814.  @rafaelcadena44  In the David Reimer case, Money thought he could take an infant boy and turn him into a girl by transitioning him into a girl without his knowledge or consent. Unsurprisingly, the boy in question went on to suffer from intense gender dysphoria. No one who's arguing for trans rights believes that someone's gender can be changed this way. Because it obviously cannot. But what we do see is that there's kids who, like David Reimer who was forcibly transitioned as a cis boy, there's trans kids who suffer from gender dysphoria. And just like for David the solution was to stop living like a girl and start living like a boy, transitioning is demonstrably effective at treating gender dysphoria.
    2
  1815. Every single person produces testosterone. And there's cis men who produce extremely low amounts of it as well.
    2
  1816. But not because they demonstrated said god to exist scientifically.

  1817. Anyone: Says literally anything remotely progressive Reactionary idiots: ES JAY DUBYA ES JAY DUBYA ES JAY DUBYA

  1818. You're an insane person.

  1819.  @zachman5150  You already said that. Is your memory alright?
    2
  1820. Could be their first day on the job
    2
  1821. The boiling point of a specific chemical is a pretty clear thing. But what does "life begins" mean? Sperm cells and egg cells are already alive after all. Seems more like a philosophical question of anything.
    2
  1822. Also, not to nitpick but under Fahrenheit it does boil at 212.
    2
  1823. Why are you guys so obsessed with soy?
    2
  1824. True, this transphobic moral panic exists because the GOP has an easier time getting votes with hate than with actual policies that help people.
    2
  1825. Oh look, it's the one joke that transphobes have.
    2
  1826. Swim on back to TERF island.
    2
  1827.  @zachman5150  Oh wow, you really found a little phrase you're proud of again, huh? Gone full-on broken record mode again.
    2
  1828. That's the thing, I can't ask your deity anything "with sincerity" because I don't believe he exists. Just as you can't sincerely reach out to the tooth fairy.
    2
  1829. Why would you respect a Prager U propagandist?
    2
  1830. "dId yOu mEaN rEcOvEriNg GaY????"
    2
  1831. Cool. Still wrong.
    2
  1832. Cindy is completely correct.
    2
  1833.  @Lxndon11  Right, he should have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes because he's profiting off of the labor of others. You don't become a billionaire by just working really hard. You become one by getting others to work in your place.
    2
  1834.  @phoenixc7245  You mean with the genocide of indigenous people and the slavery?
    2
  1835. The singular "they" (as in, using "they" to refer to a singular individual) has been used in the English language for centuries. It's common to use "they" to refer to someone whose gender is unknown or who isn't explicitly male or female.
    2
  1836.  @j_igbo_404  Calling your religious beliefs "the truth" over and over doesn't make them true.
    2
  1837.  @MadelineSpecter  You believing doesn't make it real.
    2
  1838. And the singular most effective treatment for it is transitioning.
    2
  1839. You forgot the most important one: LUCKY.
    2
  1840. Anarchists are leftists though...
    2
  1841. Does what?
    2
  1842. Having one position set in stone and not even wanting to consider anything else is the very definition of closed mindedness...
    2
  1843. That's assuming the daughter wants a man in the first place
    2
  1844. It's not.
    2
  1845. She's a Prager U propagandist.
    2
  1846. What socialists mean is living outside of poverty.
    2
  1847. Her? The PragerU lady? 😬
    2
  1848. No, trans people as a group don't pose a danger to kids. No, they're not trying to turn anyone trans. Stop buying into the moral panic.
    2
  1849. I'm sorry, the world isn't going to change their ways for your imaginary friend.
    2
  1850. But can you scientifically demonstrate that god created everything?
    2
  1851. Why is exploring your gender identity "adult behavior"? Why should anyone under 18 be kept completely ignorant on societal issues or on the reality that LGBTQ+ people exist? Why would education be solely to prepare you for working life? Is that not incredibly dystopian?
    2
  1852. That's a fault of capitalism, not feminism. I fully support the right to be a homemaker as a feminist.
    2
  1853. Avatar, when are you getting to the "walking away" part?
    2
  1854. I'd agree that she probably isn't a skeptical or even rational person. But atheism literally just describes the lack of belief in gods. If you don't believe in a god, you're an atheist.
    2
  1855. Andrew Tate was destroyed by a teenage girl.
    2
  1856. @Full Throttle Another new account? You never learn, do you?
    2
  1857. That makes no sense.
    2
  1858. Trans women are women who are trans. And people looking to assault women don't "pretend to be trans" just to get into public bathrooms, it's not like they're guarded or anything. Not to mention that a cisgender woman is also capable of committing assault. Should we ban them from the women's bathroom as well, just to be safe?
    2
  1859.  @zachman5150  You can take that hike by yourself.
    2
  1860. People will always be more involved in causes that affect them directly. This is the fallacy of relative privation.
    2
  1861. Murder is the unlawful intentional killing of another person. A zygote, embryo, or fetus is not a person.
    2
  1862. How do you know?
    2
  1863.  @christopheroluwasona66  🙄
    2
  1864. Jamie, Christmas is a Christian holiday largely in name only. It's the Pagan holiday of the Winster Solstice, appropriated by early Christians. Ask yourself, what do fir trees and gifts have to do with Jesus?
    2
  1865. If you "don't believe in the legitimacy" then that's homophobia.
    2
  1866. You mean positions of people who know firsthand that transitioning helps people with gender dysphoria.
    2
  1867. People need to get into the communist mindset. Work should be rewarded, not ownership.
    2
  1868. What are the consequences?
    2
  1869. Citation needed.
    2
  1870. Lesbian versus gay? What is there to disagree about there?
    2
  1871. What's stopping many women from working those jobs is rampant, violent sexism at many of those work sites. Look into what goes on on oil rigs sometime, it is not pretty.
    2
  1872. Gender dysphoria isn't the same as being trans. The way you treat gender dysphoria is by transitioning.
    2
  1873. "If you love me, obey me" is something an abuser would say.
    2
  1874. Yes
    2
  1875. I hope she snaps out of the brainwashing at some point and realizes she can do whatever she wants with her life.
    2
  1876.  @d.j.wellington  Like what? Atheism is just the lack of theistic belief, so I find it odd that you claim we believe in a lot of things.
    2
  1877.  @zachman5150  Four of the guys in the video did literally that. Pay attention please.
    2
  1878. If womanhood is defined purely by what body parts you have, that disqualifies a lot of cis women from womanhood.
    2
  1879. Trans is an adjective, dipshit. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  1880.  @vandanranpara5479  I already told you. Trans women are women. Specifically, women who are transgender.
    2
  1881. Source on the statue thing? Haven't heard of that one before.
    2
  1882. What do you mean "it usually doesn't"? You do realize we've got it in Europe right now?
    2
  1883.  @a_mustache_of_great_repute  I got a broken elbow when I was 15 and was treated after like ten minutes. This was on a busy night too, the roads had frozen over so there were a lot of people with fractures. No debt, no wait. People may not be refused treatment, but the huge medical debt will cause poor people to avoid seeking medical help if they need it, because they can't pay the bill. That is unacceptable.
    2
  1884. It's not a decision though.
    2
  1885. How do you know?
    2
  1886. Go on then, what is it they're missing?
    2
  1887.  @mortforcapitalism  You can be more specific than that, surely.
    2
  1888. Incorrect
    2
  1889. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  1890. ?????
    2
  1891. Gender is a matter of identification, age is a descriptor of how long one has been alive. However, some mentally disabled people might operate on a cognitive level of someone younger than them, so in that case yes, they should be treated as a younger person in many regards.
    2
  1892. There's not just two sexes. Intersex people exist.
    2
  1893. Nobody needs Ben Shapiro anywhere.
    2
  1894.  @oldspiceodorblocker3068  Lmao, just imagine fully buying into the "fAcTs DoN't CaRe AbOuT yOuR fEeLiNgS lIbTaRd" meme.
    2
  1895.  @oldspiceodorblocker3068  Of course it's a meme. Ben Shapiro is not that smart. He's just a fast talker with media training who picks his debate opponents carefully. He's another far right idea spewer with big money behind him.
    2
  1896. ​ @lanjskisnijeg Another random dipshit who thinks they know more than the overwhelming majority of medical experts.

  1899. They literally are though. You can stop taking them and puberty will happen, you don't "miss out" on it.
    2
  1900. If your kid is trans, they're trans. That has nothing to do with how you raise them. But if your trans kid doesn't have your support and love as a parent, then you've failed as a parent.
    2
  1901. I unsarcastically think she'd be very fun at parties, yes
    2
  1902. No one chooses to be gay, or bi, or trans. And LGBT people want to be accepted for who they are, not for their beliefs.
    2
  1903. It's changed quite a bit throughout history.
    2
  1904. Why does the existence of the human mind necessitate the existence of a god?
    2
  1905. When trans women ask you to respect their pronouns, it's because they'd like to be seen as and acknowledged as women. When cis women ask you not to call them cis women, it's because they want to refuse to see and acknowledge trans women as women.
    2
  1906. Cerastes, is this your full time job?
    2
  1907.  @darth3911  Ancient humans writing their mythology thought being gay was wrong. They were incorrect, and so are you.
    2
  1908. Have you ever even seen an episode of Star Trek?
    2
  1909. Yeah, drag isn't trans
    2
  1910. Seems he'd rather ignore it. Like always.
    2
  1911. Honestly, all in all this comment section isn't too bad. With the notable exception of one user who is exceptionally dedicated to their bigotry.
    2
  1912. I'm intolerant of homophobic zealots, sure. There's only been a handful of those here, you're just the most persistent one.
    2
  1913. I don't know what deity I could believe in. Plenty of people believe in plenty of different gods. I look at their claims and so far, they haven't presented compelling evidence for them.
    2
  1914. Halldog, would you ever subject a four-year-old to the agony of burning alive for ten seconds? If the answer is no, why do you worship someone who would do that for eternity, to billions, without blinking an eye?
    2
  1915. My socks are becoming more and more socky
    2
  1916. I have no problem acknowledging that I'm cisgender. Seems only logical that if we have an adjective for trans folks, we'd have one for us non-trans folks as well.
    2
  1917. I might need to get a restraining order against this Jesus person of he keeps acting like that.
    2
  1918.  @SoldierZ3R0  Transphobia is weak.
    2
  1919. Painkiller, scientific laws are descriptive, not prescriptive.
    2
  1920.  @JA-jb4ti  Damn, you really love the taste of boot, huh?
    2
  1921. If you think Adam and Eve literally existed, you lose. You're just too gullible to even take part in the argument.
    2
  1922. Those aren't mutually exclusive in any way.
    2
  1923. He's got a whole channel where he whines about "woke" this and "woke" that. Nothing strong about that.
    2
  1924. It helps that she's an attractive woman, and that she's arguing for the status quo.
    2
  1925. Trans is an adjective. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  1926. Republicans aren't particularly inclined to speak the truth in my experience.
    2
  1927. Scam thread.
    2
  1928. Oh boy, an enlightened centrist.
    2
  1929. Considering the blatant transphobia on display in many of these comments, not enough of them.
    2
  1930. There's a real hivemind going on here of "LIBTARD BAD CONSERVATIVE GOOD"
    2
  1931. Oh boy, there he goes gatekeeping again!
    2
  1932. Atheists don't believe in nothing. We just don't believe in gods.
    2
  1933. Trans people see themselves for who they are, often after a long time of denial: they see that they're trans.
    2
  1934.  @cqllel5186  You're just a transphobic armchair psychologist.
    2
  1935. How do you know it's the truth? You apparently haven't even read the book that makes the claims.
    2
  1936. You think people should be locked up over a name?
    2
  1937. What makes you think anyone designed them? And why would we consciously control our every bodily function?
    2
  1938. "Social contagion" is horseshit.
    2
  1939. People are poor because of capitalism.
    2
  1940.  @CasperChatsWithAI  Is capitalism everywhere? No, but it's pretty damn close. And the US has plenty of hard working poor people. Their existence is required for capitalism to function.
    2
  1941. ​ @CasperChatsWithAI  Capitalism rewards having money. Seriously, it's why the rift between rich and poor is always growing. When you're rich, you can afford an education. You can own a business and have other people work hard to earn you a profit. You can be a landlord and have poor people pay you most of what they earn every month just to live in something you own. Really, capitalism isn't about working, it's about owning. Socialism is not about "getting free money", it's about changing who owns the means of production from the wealthy few, to everyone.
    2
  1942. How do you know?
    2
  1943.  @saved_by_jesus1732  And how do you know the bible is a reliable source regarding the existence of this god?
    2
  1944.  @saved_by_jesus1732  But you can have faith in literally anything, regardless of whether or not it's true. I could have faith that the moon is an extremely large bowling ball. Shouldn't you wait until you have sufficient demonstrable evidence before you accept the claim that a god exists?
    2
  1945.  @saved_by_jesus1732  So how will I recognize this sign from Jesus?
    2
  1946.  @saved_by_jesus1732  But I can't "want" someone I don't believe exists. I need evidence first. Otherwise what's the point of the sign?
    2
  1947. Why don't you want to be called cis?
    2
  1948.  @peachiiejisoo5216  Person A is fine with Person B sleeping with other people. Person B is fine with Person A sleeping with other people. If Person A or Person B sleeps with someone other than Person B or Person A respectively, where is the cheating? They're literally fine with it.
    2
  1949.  @peachiiejisoo5216  But it's literally not cheatìng if all involved parties are fine with it. How is that not clicking? Cheating isn't just the deviation from monogamy, it's breaking your partner's trust while doing so. If all parties are informed and okay with the relationship involving more than just two people, there's no cheating happening.
    2
  1950. "Wow, you can clearly see in the video that the person I agree with is happier or more attractive or whatever the hell than the other person, making my views superior."
    2
  1951. They do!
    2
  1952. Because it makes them happier to have a body that looks like they want it to look, and to be recognized by others as the gender they identify as.
    2
  1953. I don't know if it's most atheists. It's probably more common in countries like the US where there's a lot of religiosity, but here in the Netherlands atheism is very common, and it's usually simply because they never became religious.
    2
  1954. You're a cis woman.
    2
  1955.  @kathyyore309  I have animosity? You're the one posting this transphobic garbage.
    2
  1956.  @kathyyore309  Yes, you saying that trans women aren't "real women" is transphobic and shows your animosity against these people. Also I literally just linked you an article showing that the word cisgender has been in use for years, and that the first usage dates back to the early 90s.
    2
  1957.  @kathyyore309  There's that smug deliberate ignorance transphobes are known for.
    2
  1958.  @kathyyore309  Ah, there it is. The religious nonsense at the core of it. Now the ignorance makes even more sense.
    2
  1959. Good news! Hell isn't real!
    2
  1960. Transitioning isn't just making irreversible changes to your body. Many aspects of it are as simple as changing your name or the way you dress. In the case of puberty blockers it's actually preventing permanent changes to the body.
    2
  1961. Why?
    2
  1962.  @fadli_1577  I asked someone else why they hated it, and capitalism is failing before our very eyes. At least, depending on what you think capitalism ought to succeed at, because it's been very effective at concentrating a gargantuan amount of wealth into the hands of the very few.
    2
  1963. But that's objectively false. Those aren't the only chromosomal combinations people can have. Nor does that even matter considering gender and sex aren't the same thing.
    2
  1964. Trans women are women, dipshit.
    2
  1965. You are.
    2
  1966. As does any medication. Doesn't mean we can't ever use them. You take the side effects into consideration obviously.
    2
  1967. Zigmund, it's not a mental disorder. I know Daddy Donald loves his alternative facts but please don't emulate him on that.
    2
  1968. BYMER, What kind of egotistical, narcissistic, cruel monster would create a species specifically to worship it, and then punish it with generations of death and suffering for disobedience? Do you not see how incredibly horrible that is?
    2
  1969. Fascism is far right by definition, dummy.
    2
  1970. I don't think you understand what socialism is if you think workers get less for their work under it.
    2
  1971. How embarassing for you
    2
  1972. Don't pay attention to Alpha, he's a crazy fundamentalist who thinks he's the final authority on Christianity.
    2
  1973. Jokes aside? There were jokes in that comment?
    2
  1974. Don't listen to Cerastes, he's trying to be the Christianity police. Live your life, and love who you love.
    2
  1975. And what if the parents don't feel like doing that?
    2
  1976.  @brandonmorgan3147  Is this acceptable to you?
    2
  1977. @ Did you know that many girls used to not be taught about menstruation until it happened to them? Can you imagine waking up one day to find that you're bleeding profusely with no explanation? There is no innate knowledge of these things. When there is no sex education it leads to confusion and fear.
    2
  1978. Kaleb, collective punishment is immoral. Children dying of cancer because some ancient rib lady ate an apple is immoral.
    2
  1979. I've always greatly disliked Christianity's inherent misanthropy. If you aren't on Team Human, I don't want to know you, honestly.
    2
  1980. Again. Misanthropy. Look it up.
    2
  1981. Please don't imply that my loved ones and I deserve to die slowly of a terminal illness. I haven't done so to you.
    2
  1982. Scientists can definitely be religious. But religion is not supported by science.
    2
  1983. True, conservatives are just too far gone.
    2
  1984. Race is a social construct. As such, we can deconstruct it.
    2
  1985. You're thinking of conservatives.
    2
  1986.  @mrfrosty6219  False. Their gender was assigned at birth. And this assignment can sometimes be incorrect. Not even sure what you're going for here because even if you're referring to biological gender that stuff forms way before the baby is born.
    2
  1987.  @mrfrosty6219  Not being "pushed by left idiots", it's what the medical experts say. Sex and gender aren't the same thing. Most people are born as either male or female, sure, and depending on that they're assigned the gender of "boy" or "girl". And in the case of trans people, that assignment is inaccurate.
    2
  1988. You didn't like that?
    2
  1989. Skill issue
    2
  1990. True, conservatives need professional help.
    2
  1991.  @apologetics2785  Truth is what can be demonstrated to be consistent with reality. Meaning is a human concept, and as such there's no inherent or ultimate meaning, but we can all find our own meaning in life. Morality I'd say I have a better basis for than theists as rather than blindly obeying someone else's commandments I have to think about how my actions impact others. Destiny is something I don't believe in at all, and I don't miss it. You might prefer the idea of "ultimate meaning" but that doesn't mean it exists. And the non-existence of "ultimate meaning" doesn't make meaning impossible on a more personal level.
    2
  1992.  @apologetics2785  My basis for truth is the consistently reliable nature of my senses strongly suggesting that we're able to learn reliable information about the universe around us, which is what the scientific method was based on, which allowed humankind to develop the incredibly technology we have today. My basis for morality is my recognition that happiness, health, and life are generally preferable to suffering, illness, and death. And as such, it's in my best interest to take part in actions that promote the former three and reduce the latter three. Not only because committing antisocial or harmful acts could result in negative outcomes for me (legal punishment, ostracization, alienation) but also because a world with greater happiness is one that I would prefer to live in.
    2
  1993.  @andyscott15  You still don't know the origin of life. You've simply accepted an answer because you wanted to have one. You have no way of verifying whether or not it's the correct answer.
    2
  1994.  @dewaldt8104  You don't like democracy?
    2
  1995. I can already tell you that no, we do not.
    2
  1996. Won't somebody think about the poor multi-billionaires?! They worked so hard! Wealth like that definitely isn't obtained by exploiting the working class, avoiding taxes, and other unsavory business practices. They just work really hard! Hundreds of times harder than a teacher, apparently. How does that boot taste?
    2
  1997. You're incredibly naive if you think that much wealth can be accumulated merely through "hard work."
    2
  1998. What does it mean to "disagree with the concept of LGBT"?
    2
  1999. Sin is meaningless outside the context of your particular religion.
    2
  2000. Nothing's more loving than eternal torture, huh? Twisted mind.
    2
  2001. What a pathetic weak civilization if a few trans people can destroy it by simply existing.
    2
  2002. How's that?
    2
  2003. Can you show us the cliff?
    2
  2004. I didn't mean name the cliff, I mean show us evidence that we're "going to fall off a cliff."
    2
  2005. The bible contains the claim, not the evidence.
    2
  2006. What's the scientific evidence?
    2
  2007. You guys sure love the word "flesh". You realize that's what we're made of, right? Like it or not, we're all just wrinkly meatballs in a spooky skull. LGBTQ+ people don't need to be "saved" from their "sin", either.
    2
  2008. Wait until you find out that things are usually more complicated than what they teach to a highschool freshman.
    2
  2009. The golden raisin look is so hot right now
    2
  2010. Which is survivorship bias. It's like saying your cancer went into remission on its own, therefore no one needs chemotherapy. They dismiss their own luck and privilege.
    2
  2011. Can you demonstrate that Allah caused the big bang scientifically?
    2
  2012.  @Mic1904  But how do you actually know it's "god-breathed"? Couldn't someone in the distant future who doesn't know about how the book was written hold the belief that Fifty Shades was the words of a god?
    2
  2013. Oh okay, so you're just against medical help for kids in general.
    2
  2014. Cis is an adjective just as trans is. Your comment is like saying "there's no tall women, there's just women and short women".
    2
  2015. Who is currently whining about Mr. Potato Head and Dr. Seuss being "canceled"?
    2
  2016. The claim that a god exists has not met its burden of proof. As such, many people don't believe it. This claim that "atheists don't really exists" is either dishonest or ignorant.
    2
  2017.  @dieulensvictor  There's no evidence that an "intelligence" was responsible for life. Living things reproduce through natural processes. If you want to claim that we were created by an "intelligence" you'd have to demonstrate it with evidence somehow.
    2
  2018. She.
    2
  2019.  @Isaacsworlds  How can you know someone who hasn't been shown to exist?
    2
  2020. Is he, though?
    2
  2021. Kevin is the way to true happiness! But beware of Dennis, Dennis will kick you in the shin and give you a wedgie! That's what this sounds like to unbelievers.
    2
  2022.  @kathrynnnnn  Trans men are men who are trans, just like tall men are men who are tall. The last time a subcategory of men got their own men's room it was due to extreme racism, by the way. Wasn't great.
    2
  2023.  @andyscott15  Atheists simply aren't convinced an eternal afterlife exists.
    2
  2024. How do you know?
    2
  2025.  @ThinkCarla  People have been saying "soon!!!' for years and years now. Pretty sure it's not happening.
    2
  2026. Sex is sex. If you wanna claim "souls" are involved, prove it.
    2
  2027. You are delusional if you think the world was "built by European men".
    2
  2028. "thE GaYS Are DEStROYING soCietY!!!" Christ, do you morons hear yourselves?
    2
  2029. Glad you agree, comrade.
    2
  2030. Video games are fine. It's religion you wanna stay away from. That stuff rots your brain!
    2
  2031. Forced pregnancy is so evil
    2
  2032. What does it mean exactly to "not agree with the LGBTQ+ lifestyle"?
    2
  2033.  @omelia678  I wasn't trying to police your language, I'm mainly curious how one can "disagree" with what seems to be an intrinsic part of someone as a person (their sexuality or gender identity).
    2
  2034.  @shq_main2853  Your sexuality is defined by who you're attracted to, not by who you choose to date or sleep with. Nobody chooses who they're attracted to. Otherwise, why would people decide to be gay in deeply homophobic parts of the world?
    2
  2035. Trans women are women who are trans. Pretty simple.
    2
  2036. Why do you think they're arrogant?
    2
  2037. I hope that you can learn to love yourself eventually.
    2
  2038. No, that's the problem. It's not their hard work. There is no amount of labor one person can perform that would earn them a billion dollars. Such a gargantuan amount of wealth can only be hoarded through exploiting the labor of others.
    2
  2039.  @TrinitySlaps  Because again, they're not working for those billions. Other people are. They own businesses where other people perform labor and they get money from the labor of those people. It's why once you're wealthy, you can just keep becoming wealthier and wealthier and wealthier, because other people work for your money. Most of the richest people in the world started off with plenty of money and privilege, and turned that into an unimaginable amount of money through the exploitation of others.
    2
  2040. You stop.
    2
  2041. @ds Conservatives care about the future of humanity? Really? Could've fooled me.
    2
  2042. Lmao, could they have? Informed conservative is kind of an oxymoron.
    2
  2043. You're blaming atheism for the crimes of authoritarianism.
    2
  2044. That's a dumb system then. Imagine if you got a life sentence for pirating a movie.
    2
  2045.  @almondpotato9483  Under socialism you could work for a company and be part owner with everyone else who works for it. If your wages or working conditions are bad you can vote for better ones in a democratic system rather than a miniature dictatorship.
    2
  2046.  @almondpotato9483  A working class individual wouldn't be able to buy stocks, leaving them no influence over their working conditions, wages, etc. Why are these private dictatorial hierarchies seen as something normal when we abandoned lords and kings for democratically elected representatives long ago when it comes to governing countries?
    2
  2047.  @almondpotato9483  You're not seeing the problem. You're giving out little tips and tricks to survival under capitalism without seeing that capitalism is rigged in favor of the wealthy. Working class people do all they can to survive while business owners pocket the surplus value of their labor. How would it not be better to democratize the workplace? Do you not like democracy?
    2
  2048. Demons aren't real
    2
  2049.  @mizurora9496  Don't bother, they're a troll.
    2
  2050. Another deranged cultist here.
    2
  2051. The atheists are gonna be like 💀 and God gonna be like
    2
  2052.  @Liya653  Oh nice
    2
  2053.  @Liya653  Thanks
    2
  2054. What's offensive about the word "cis"?
    2
  2055.  @victorokah9405  Fetuses can be nonviable late in the pregnancy due to health issues. But no one who doesn't want to be pregnant is going to wait for eight months to get an abortion.
    2
  2056. I don't see what that has to do with science. It's an issue of definitions.
    2
  2057. You make it sound like pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood should be punishments for promiscuity. What a disgusting notion.
    2
  2058.  @dawnlennon3525  "Good societies are bad, actually"
    2
  2059. You're not persecuted. You're just backwards zealots trying to persecute others.
    2
  2060. Doing another scam thread, eh?
    2
  2061.  Sophia Bannan  Is this about not having me have the last word? Seems a bit childish if you ask me.
    2
  2062.  @keirastonehaven8386  How many people are you gonna pretend to be just to keep me from getting the last word?
    2
  2063.  @Ran_hash  At the very least it'll hopefully let anyone looking at the thread know that it's a scam.
    2
  2064. Correction: You should watch that if you want to see a bunch of Christian propaganda horseshit.
    2
  2065. Phew, for a second I almost thought you forgot to like your own comment.
    2
  2066. So the formation of the earth is either "magical appearance" or "made by a god"? How do you know those are the only options, or that those are options in the first place?
    2
  2067. "Conservative feminism" is just conservatism that has appropriated the aesthetics of feminism.
    2
  2068. What if some other god exists who's merciful to atheists but hates idolatry? You'd be going to the Bad Place.
    2
  2069. What evidence do you have for this universe being a "creation"?
    2
  2070. Prove it.
    2
  2071. Can you explain what exactly this means?
    2
  2072. No, as an atheist I really mostly hate the conservative ones.
    2
  2073. Wrong. People like Amala are why there's "pushback", or rather an insane reactionary moral panic.
    2
  2074.  @grahamchamberlain3141  The truth hurts people like Dennis Prager, hence why he's set up his so-called "university" to try and undermine it. And people like Amala make a living helping him do just that.
    2
  2075. Not anyone either.
    2
  2076. Feminism in 1920s: Striving for gender equality pretty much exclusively for wealthy white women Modern feminism: Striving for gender equality for all women Strawman feminism: Whatever Andy up there just farted out
    2
  2077. "pOiNt BlAnK pErIoDt!!!!!!"
    2
  2078.  @Soiehziz  I'm part of the problem because I asked what she was wrong about?
    2
  2079. You guys just love sticking a "tHe TrUtH" sticker on the stuff you believe, huh
    2
  2080. How is it anti-science?
    2
  2081. Conservatives aren't normal people.
    2
  2082. Love between people of the same gender harms literally no one.
    2
  2083. Give your bizarre obsession with the preservation of fetuses a rest already, would ya?
    2
  2084. Who cares what you think, Mike?
    2
  2085. Why? And what do you think transitioning is?
    2
  2086.  @zachman5150  Not relevant to the discussion.
    2
  2087.  @tomgodfrey92  Transitioning doesn't just mean surgery, and it doesn't even have to include surgery at all. A large part of it is simply changing the way you present yourself to the world through how you dress or what you call yourself.
    2
  2088. How do you know?
    2
  2089. @Porto Fino Literally no one wants you here. Just leave. How many years has it been? How many names have you used? Just stop being a homophobic shithead. It's so easy.
    2
  2090. It's not about whether or not they deserve to die. The penal system doesn't exist to give people what they deserve, but to rehabilitate offenders if possible, and separate them from society if not. What good does killing a serial killer do?
    2
  2091. Why would anyone want to follow a Prager U propagandist?
    2
  2092. Because the conservatives will still be embarassing.
    2
  2093. Source?
    2
  2094. Your reactionary transphobic rhetoric isn't protecting a goddamn thing.
    2
  2095. Gay people didn't choose to be gay, and aren't hurting anyone by being engaging in romantic relationships with people of the same gender. I can't think of a good reason not to support that.
    2
  2096.  @zachman5150  Zach, none of that has anything to do with the short reply I posted. Maybe stop being so lazy and stop it with the copying and pasting responses? This is a little embarassing.
    2
  2097.  @zachman5150  You're not supposed to sign your YouTube comments, Zach.
    2
  2098. Sounds like you shouldn't be a Christian then. Good thing there's actually plenty of progressive Christians though, or your religion's reputation would be way worse.
    2
  2099.  @ArthurCSchaperMR  Really desperate for that attention huh, shithead?
    2
  2100. Who are comments like these supposed to convince? Do you think atheists have just never heard this before?
    2
  2101. I think the religious beliefs can definitely be harmful as well. They can cause discrimination against LGBTQ+ people for example, or zealous support of political figures who reference religion in their campaign. It contributes to a lack of critical thought and skepticism.
    2
  2102.  @ryanthomas9306  Lobotomies were inflicted on disabled people without their consent. This is a ridiculous comparison. You're a ridiculous person. Don't talk to me.
    2
  2103. Incorrect.
    2
  2104.  @ddd333-p1i  Atheism is merely the absence of theism. That doesn't meet the definition of a religion at all.
    2
  2105. First time learning about adjectives?
    2
  2106. No, he only tells you to sacrifice your child on an altar and then goes "it was just a prank, bro!" in order to win a bet.
    2
  2107. He wouldn't be choosing that if it weren't for external pressures.
    2
  2108. I might agree that the "lukewarm Christians" as you call them are technically worse at being Christians, but they're better at being decent human beings.
    2
  2109. A room can have black walls, a black floor, and a black ceiling and be lit.
    2
  2110.  @rightwerk  Nope. Trans women are women who are trans. This is really pretty simple, I don't see why you're all struggling with this.
    2
  2111. Wow, the brain worms really got to this one. Jesus Christ.
    2
  2112. if lightning strikes, it's because zeus threw it from mount olympus whys this complicated
    2
  2113. I think the vast majority of pro-choice people will agree that earlier is better. And around 92% of abortions are performed in the first 13 weeks.
    2
  2114. Oh hey, it's the one joke that transphobes know.
    2
  2115. Why do you think that the purpose of the penal system should be to inflict suffering? How does that benefit society?
    2
  2116. DNA is not a code in a literal sense. That is an argument from analogy fallacy.
    2
  2117. Asian Americans as a demographic tend to be more well off because while African Americans largely entered the country as slaves, Asian Americans immigrated, which means they would have to be reasonably well off to afford to move such a distance in the first place. And while experiences are far from universal among people of a certain ethnic group, there are definitely issues that affect some groups more than others.
    2
  2118. Conservatives are delusional.
    2
  2119. Pregnancy can cause permanent injury or even death.
    2
  2120. This comment section does not pass the vibe check.
    2
  2121. A chicken is a woman.
    2
  2122. I thought the US was supposed to be the wealthiest country on the planet or something. Where's all the money going?
    2
  2123. A focused effort of propagandization from the wealthy to preserve the status quo. Why do you think billionaires fund things like Prager U and Fox News? It's better for their bottom line if the working class is convinced that leftists and foreigners are the cause of their lack of wealth.
    2
  2124. Oh, lay an egg.
    2
  2125. Marriage isn't just a christian concept. It has existed before your religion, and its meaning has changed a great deal over the years. 2000 years ago the idea of marrying out of love was unheard of.
    2
  2126. And under capitalism every business is incentivised to put profit over ethics.
    2
  2127. "Look, you may think he's unhappy because he got brainwashed to believe that there's something morally wrong with him being gay, even though it harms literally no one, but look, our holy book says he's fine!!!"
    2
  2128.  @hannahbthatsme  What if there is no "eternity" and these people are pressured into celibacy for something that doesn't actually exist? I think people should live the life they know they have to the fullest instead of sacrificing their happiness for some hypothetical afterparty that there's no demonstrable evidence for.
    2
  2129.  @hannahbthatsme  People don't hold religious beliefs "just to be safe", that's ludicrous. I can't force myself to believe this stuff just to avoid a hypothetical eternal torture world. I need demonstrable evidence, or I won't be convinced. All I'd be able to do is pretend. Also, Pascal's Wager (the argument you just presented) fails to account for other religions. What if Hellenism is right and idolatry is punished more harshly than mere unbelief? You'd be thrown into Tartarus while I would be better off in Asphodel. And what's depressing is seeing people depriving themselves of love because their religious beliefs told them to. I'm not living for nothing, I'm living this life for this life. Not for something I believe comes afterwards.
    2
  2130.  @hannahbthatsme  How has it been proven to you, if you don't mind me asking?
    2
  2131. The Trump administration doesn't seem to love immigrants though, as they've made it more and more difficult to come to the US legally.
    2
  2132. Demonstrate that it's real, or it's meaningless to talk about.
    2
  2133. Being gay and being trans aren't the same thing. And by all means, barf your guts out. Maybe you'll feel better after, you big baby.
    2
  2134. Does the majority actually like capitalism, though? Or have they just had capitalist propaganda hammered into them for decades? There's certainly far more people being exploited under capitalism than there are people profiting off of it.
    2
  2135.  @latonyanewsome0 Don't be a dumbass. There's being dependent on someone for care and resources, and there's literally being attached to someone's body.
    2
  2136. Yeah what a shame you weren't there to be a transphobic shithead 🙄
    2
  2137. The meritocracy is a myth.
    2
  2138. If you're paying attention today, you know capitalism doesn't work.
    2
  2139. Cis isn't a degrading word.
    2
  2140. Put yourself to bed.
    2
  2141.  @hellokitty10117  It isn't. Nobody chooses who they're attracted to.
    2
  2142. @Abhigyan Nawani It really, really doesn't.
    2
  2143. Not the case at all.
    2
  2144. She.
    2
  2145.  @FatherDingo  Answer the question sir.
    2
  2146.  @zachman5150  I didn't ask you, and no you didn't.
    2
  2147. He certainly seems to think so. Hence why he´s annoying.
    2
  2148. The exploitation of the working class is why poor people stay poor. Not any "mInDsEt".
    2
  2149. "Why can't black people just respect the beliefs of the KKK?"
    2
  2150.  @elshrek2514  Science is on the side of trans people.
    2
  2151. Pretty ironic comment. "Teach your children that your religion is the absolute truth before their brains have grown the capacity to think critically, or they could get brainwashed!"
    2
  2152. I see my boss on a daily basis. I wouldn't work there if no one had ever seen him.
    2
  2153. How can faith be logical?
    2
  2154. You don't think there's utility in having an adjective for people who aren't trans?
    2
  2155. @Sarah-vd6ho  Men and women are nouns. Which apply to men and women whether they're cis or trans.
    2
  2156. Laws should be based on what's best for society, not on the emotions of grief-stricken victims of violence.
    2
  2157. Yeah, how dare people think instead of just quoting a book.
    2
  2158. Education about demonstrably real natural processes is not comparable to religious indoctrination.
    2
  2159. It's not that going to space is inherently bad. But launching something into space just for a frivolous joyride for the ultra-wealthy is just wasteful, and the idea of colonizing Mars frankly just sounds unrealistic outside of the far future. And while that future is still far away we would be better served preserving the livable environment we have right now rather than trying to live in an entirely hostile one on another planet.
    2
  2160. Leave it to Christians to describe human sacrifice as "nice"
    2
  2161. "The person with blue hair was perfectly calm but that's just because there were cameras!!!" Lmao give me a break dude
    2
  2162.  @bubbanoob  But you're not normal.
    2
  2163. That's conservatives for ya.
    2
  2164. Meaning that nonbelief is the only justifiable position.
    2
  2165. What's wrong with you?
    2
  2166. "Actually, everything is about my specific religion"
    2
  2167. People with religious arguments shouldn't even bother partaking in discussions like these.
    2
  2168. The what now?
    2
  2169. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  2170.  @blissinchains  Sex and gender aren't the same thing, dummy. What you're identified as at birth doesn't define how you identify and go on to live your life. Trans women are women, and trans men are men.
    2
  2171. Atheism (a + theism) literally means "without theism". It just means you don't believe in any gods.
    2
  2172. Who is this supposed to convince?
    2
  2173. That's moronic. What's wrong with flying the flag of the country you come from?
    2
  2174. And people who "do the no no", or have the "no no" forced on them, should me forced by the government to complete their pregnancy until completion?
    2
  2175. Is the existence of thursday strong evidence for the existence of Thor?
    2
  2176. Fast forward even more and he doesn't end up buying it after all, as expected
    2
  2177. Because one's a person and one's a zygote. If we don't recognize that distinction I might as well start prioritizing the well-being of my sperm cells over my own.
    2
  2178. You can't "choose not to be gay". That's not how sexuality works.
    2
  2179. Adam and Eve never existed.
    2
  2180. It's not ok to be homophobic.
    2
  2181. Trans women are women, and nothing can change that.
    2
  2182. Hell isn't real.
    2
  2183. How is communal ownership of the means of production slavery?
    2
  2184. Well, legally you're objectively wrong.
    2
  2185. So you're saying religion is something you question... until you decide to stop questioning it?
    2
  2186. What if you chose wrong but you have faith that you chose correctly? How would you find out?
    2
  2187. If I hear someone in a locked room flipping a coin, I can have faith that the coin landed on heads. I can't go into the room to see if I'm correct. But regardless of what I believe, the coin either did or did not land on heads.
    2
  2188. But then the faith was either placed in something that turned out to be correct, or misplaced. The best position would be to make no assumptions about what the coin landed on until you can see it.
    2
  2189. That's an assumption based on the belief you already hold.
    2
  2190. Statistically, men pretending to be trans to enter women's spaces simply does not happen to any remotely significant degree. But trans women being abused in these spaces, that does. Why would trans people want to segregate themselves? What they need is acceptance. But they're not getting it as long as people keep parroting this ignorant crap.
    2
  2191.  @crate249  Lmao
    2
  2192.  @crate249  They're not oppressed. They choose to express shitty ideas, and other people react negatively. That's not oppression. You might as well say nazis are the most oppressed minority if you want to make that argument.
    2
  2193. Well they are conservatives.
    2
  2194. It is tho
    2
  2195. "Progressive demons"? What the fuck are you even talking about
    2
  2196. Okay, someone gets convicted for a rape they didn't commit and now you've burned an innocent person to death.
    2
  2197.  @gamingforaday5446  Yeah, such losers for being against the invasion of another country. What's life like as a cheerleader for imperialism?
    2
  2198. You expressed your opinion, I expressed mine. What exactly is the problem?
    2
  2199. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  2200. They're all men.
    2
  2201. Imagine openly being an Andrew Tate fan lmao
    2
  2202. It seems like Avatar's answer is "Yes"
    2
  2203. Cerastes, can you just fucking lay off these people already? You're not a fucking inquisitor.
    2
  2204. Our respective parents
    2
  2205.  @blakeemel3819  Their parents
    2
  2206. Money's pretty useful for buying food and paying rent though
    2
  2207. Then you don't actually care about poor people getting healthcare, because charity alone absolutely does not cut it.
    2
  2208. Accepting your child is not a failure, it's what any parent is supposed to do. I sincerely hope you never have kids.
    2
  2209. Are you really still here, dude? You are bizarrely obsessed with hating trans people. That seems to be a common thing among transphobes, that their transphobia is all they really have going on.
    2
  2210.  @alpha9308  Here's Alpha the Freelance Inquisition again... 🙄
    2
  2211. You are religious though. For someone who loves to bring in the dictionary you seem to be pretty selective about it.
    2
  2212. Oh there's worse ones.
    2
  2213. Why though?
    2
  2214.  @stylishdinero3720  Nobody's saying you're not women though.
    2
  2215.  @stylishdinero3720  And in most contexts, everyone will. The term "cis" is just an adjective. In some contexts like this discussion it makes sense to use the phrase cis women to differentiate them from trans women. Just like you'd say tall women and short women in a discussion about height.
    2
  2216. Homophobic conspiracy theorist.
    2
  2217. Horseman, when are you going to stop spouting homophobic garbage already? It's been literally months.
    2
  2218. No, you didn't. No child deserves to be hit or to fear their own parents.
    2
  2219. He is, though.
    2
  2220. What reason is that?
    2
  2221. ES JAY DUBYA BAD!!!
    2
  2222. But being gay is perfectly fine. What you're asking for is a bias based on mythology over reality.
    2
  2223. Not a compliment
    2
  2224. Gay people and trans people are a product of nature. They can't be "fixed" because they are not defects.
    2
  2225. Ah, the comment section was just feeling so nice and peaceful. Oh well.
    2
  2226. Incorrect
    2
  2227. I don't fit through there anymore
    2
  2228. Because to become that ridiculously wealthy you inevitably exploit those poorer than you. You can't just work your way to being a billionaire, that kind of gargantuan wealth comes from the labor of others. They're obligated to give because they've already taken far too much.
    2
  2229. They wouldn't really be able to find out they were wrong at that point. They'd blissfully fade away into nothingness, expecting to wake up in paradise. Only to never wake up.
    2
  2230. Won't somebody think of the zygotes??? 😢
    2
  2231. Capitalists want the wealth that others worked for without working for it.
    2
  2232. Stop trying to convert random autistic people. It's obnoxious.
    2
  2233. "Sex is binary, except when it isn't, but let's ignore that"
    2
  2234. A few hundred years ago: "If I don't pay my slaves for their labor I shouldn't have them? But then they'd be out in the wilderness on their own without food or shelter!"
    2
  2235. @Mystic Warrior You're conflating sex and gender.
    2
  2236. @Peyton Wenz You believe. That's not the same as knowing.
    2
  2237. You mean that reality TV guy who got impeached?
    2
  2238. Sperm cells are alive and have human DNA. Is ejaculation genocide?
    2
  2239. My parents, next question please
    2
  2240.  @andyscott15  Their parents
    2
  2241.  @andyscott15  If we're talking about the first human then their parents can't be human, can they?
    2
  2242. When you internalize the McCarthyism
    2
  2243.  @Cotac_Rastic  I'm sorry, my calling out this "communism is a disease" rhetoric as red scare nonsense makes me "morally bankrupt"?
    2
  2244. I'm glad you can balance the two instead of repressing your sexuality like some LGBTQ+ Christians do.
    2
  2245. Source?
    2
  2246. Avatar, what really pisses me off is how people insult LGBTQ+ people by trying to be the Christianity police. Isn't it about time you stop this little crusade?
    2
  2247. Are you new to the concept of adjectives?
    2
  2248. You could say I'm in lava with this volcanologist
    2
  2249. Conservatives are allergic to facts.
    2
  2250. Not letting trans kids transition is child abuse.
    2
  2251. Is this a meme?
    2
  2252. Why?
    2
  2253. When rain falls into a shallow hole, it fills it up to perfectly form a puddle. Is that a coincidence? Did somsone conspire to make that happen? Or is it simply the expected result of natural processes at work?
    2
  2254. He's too busy being morally outraged by "wet ass p-words".
    2
  2255.  @juancarlos-uv4lh  Gay people shouldn't have to "repent" though, as they're not hurting anyone.
    2
  2256.  @dutchpatriot17  No, because historically being straight has practically always been the norm. We have pride parades to normalize LGBTQ identities. And what do you mean by "lessons on being straight", what's that in reference to?
    2
  2257. Nazis were socialists as much as North Korea is democratic.
    2
  2258.  @user-pp8ru6uu1s  Maybe I am, you don't know me.
    2
  2259. It's so embarassing when transphobes pretend to be feminists.
    2
  2260. Who are you to tell God what he can and can't do?
    2
  2261. People aren't going to pretend to be trans, let alone transition, to get into a public bathroom. It's not like they're policed anyway. You can literally just go in.
    2
  2262. So you disagree with medical experts when they conclude that people experiencing gender dysphoria are massively helped by transitioning?
    2
  2263. There is another episode that's the other way around. That one came out first.
    2
  2264. You stop commenting, Cerastes. Nobody's asking for your input.
    2
  2265. It's the government that's making it impossible to live for trans people in more and more states.
    2
  2266.  @zachman5150  You should try that.
    2
  2267. Where the hell are you getting that idea?
    2
  2268. And yet other countries don't have the USA's gun violence problem.
    2
  2269. You're allowed to say "fuck", it's okay
    2
  2270. Trans women are real women. I believe what you're trying to say is trans women versus cis women.
    2
  2271. I still have no idea why anyone thinks he is worth listening to. Not only is he an irrational zealot but a dishonest one as well.
    2
  2272. Socialism is bad because it has killed 700 billion trillion people. Also, Vuvuzela.
    2
  2273. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  2274. Junior, nobody chooses who they're attracted to.
    2
  2275. He's really not, but I appreciate that you're the first of his defenders to actually come up with a fitting comparison, instead of those people whose only reference for a bald guy is Walter White.
    2
  2276. The harm of a sexually abused child is easily demonstrable. As for the consenting adult siblings, is it wrong? I'm not so sure. By the way, Horseshit, I can't help but notice that you keep abandoning threads when you can't make a decent comeback. You still haven't answered whether you worship a bee or not.
    2
  2277. Source?
    2
  2278. So you'd legally force a woman to undergo months of pain and limited ability, with the risk of permanent injury or even death, all of which will constantly remind her of an incredibly traumatic event... and for what? Because you've arbitrarily assigned personhood to a non-sentient zygote?
    2
  2279. You keep calling it "the child". I understand that this is technically correct, but the language, I feel, is emotionally loaded. If I told you to think of a child, it would be an infant, a twelve year old, a late teen, or anything in between. Rest assured that I wholly oppose anyone's right to take the life of any of these. However, again, a zygote, or an embryo, or a fetus is not sentient. It's alive, sure. In the same sense that a sperm cell, swimming its way to an egg cell, is alive. But I do not think we would be justified in calling it a person just yet. Therefor I don't see why we should assign it rights that trump the right to bodily autonomy of the person bearing the host.
    2
  2280. And why do you consider a combined sperm and egg cell a person?
    2
  2281. I think you and I have a vastly different understanding of the concept of personhood. An early zygote is barely more than the sum of its parts. Why is conception the thing that defines personhood to you? Is it like a spiritual thing?
    2
  2282. Your claim is statistically unsupported.
    2
  2283. The choice to be in a loving, consenting relationship with someone of the same gender?
    2
  2284. You don't know anything about Cindy's children beyond what she talked about
    2
  2285. It's a scary thought, isn't it? What if we someday had the technology to repair brains? Could we live forever? And does it mean those who died before that technology was developed died needlessly?
    2
  2286. That makes no sense. Us atheists don't believe in a god by definition, so why would we blame one for anything?
    2
  2287.  @juanceja6023  Cool, I can tell you right now that that particular belief is incorrect.
    2
  2288. Hey, at least I've never had to pay thousands of euros for medical treatment.
    2
  2289.  @lictxn  It's homophobic to have an irrational aversion to two women or two men in love. Even if you got that irrational aversion from your religion.
    2
  2290.  @lictxn  No, being gay is not something you can just stop being. If you don't want to argue about this, you're free to stop responding.
    2
  2291. Hell yeah, fuck capitalism!
    2
  2292. What kind of monster tortures someone for eternity for trying to find happiness again after a failed marriage?
    2
  2293. Do you just have something against the concept of adjectives?
    2
  2294. The ancient mythology you've decided to base your life around is not truth.
    2
  2295. True, conservatives tend to be pretty confused.
    2
  2296. Once they decided to be conservatives, they didn't stand a chance
    2
  2297. Rape is taking away someone's free will to refuse sex. If god is able to stop rape, but doesn't, does he care more about the free will of a rapist than that of a rape survivor?
    2
  2298. You can either be a good person or a good Christian, but you can't be both. Your comment demonstrates that.
    2
  2299. No it isn't.
    2
  2300. I've talked to plenty of Christians. I've heard the anecdotes of lives turned around, etc. But that is not how we determine the truth of an existence claim. If I tell you I have a magical invisible fairy who can cure headaches, and the day after I tell you about it you suddenly stop having a headache, does that prove my fairy exists? No, existence must be shown with demonstrable evidence. Also, it's sad to see the typical Christian misanthropic view of humanity. While mankind is capable of terrible deeds, I don't think people are inherently evil, unlike you apparently. I don't think you need a magic invisible man to be a good person. All you need is empathy, and an understanding of the consequences of your actions.

  2301. A good father wouldn't demand that a gay child stop being gay. Nor would he send anyone to hell. The father you're describing, whether he exists or not, is a monster. If a human did these things your god supposedly does we would have him rot in prison.

  2304.  @ViralClips217  I don't even really disagree with you that it's harmful that women are made to feel like they need to wear makeup, but making it illegal is just bizarrely extreme. There's no reason why people shouldn't have the freedom to look however they want. Do you really want to put people in jail for wearing eyeliner? For a lot of people it's just a fun way to express themselves.
    2
  2305. How so?
    2
  2306. No it didn't, John. If you think it did, you legitimately just don't understand evolution.
    2
  2307. Yeah, it's sad seeing all these people so indoctrinated by capitalism.
    2
  2308. They're trans women.

    2
  2312. How's that?
    2
  2313.  @coldfire2753  Why do people in comment sections so often feel the need to answer questions directed at other people? Anyway, what I meant was, what makes you think conservatism stems from "having to deal with real adult issues"?
    2
  2314. What does "not agreeing with LGBTQ" mean?
    2
  2315.  @Zo-hc2fn  Every dog has four legs and a tail. So the universe must have four legs and a tail.
    2
  2316. Nope. Agnosticism means you don't make a knowledge claim about your theistic or atheistic position. And atheism is the lack of theistic belief, as the name implies.
    2
  2317. What views are those?
    2
  2318. They do.
    2
  2319. That makes no sense. People being healthy and educated will make them not want to work? So people not being able to get an education and not having access to healthcare makes them more productive workers somehow?

  2323. An unthinking, unfeeling zygote you mean.
    2
  2324. There's already more children waiting for adoption than people seem to be willing to adopt. And the process of giving birth can cause permanent injury or even death to the mother. It's a very intense biological process on one's body. What makes you say a fetus, who is not yet anything even close to a thinking, feeling person, has the right to occupy a woman's body against her will?
    2
  2325. I'm an atheist and I've never used drugs in my life, what are you even talking about
    2
  2326. So women are defined by their genitals?
    2
  2327. Science was developed by humans.
    2
  2328. Yes, you're women who are cis
    2
  2329.  @Mr.JoeBangles  Trans and cis are adjectives. A trans woman is a woman who is trans, and a cis woman is a woman who is cis. Pretty simply. And screaming "FACTS!!!" doesn't make your statement factual.
    2
  2330.  @Mr.JoeBangles There's no "trans cult", and all words are equally made up. And again, not "transwomen", but trans women. As in, women who are trans.
    2
  2331. Assaulting people for using the restroom is insane behavior
    2
  2332.  @stevedog9409  Thing is, it already has a name. Insisting on calling it "the China Virus" is meaningless and only causes prejudice against Chinese people.
    2
  2333. The medical interventions didn't exist in the past, at least before the past century or so. But historically there's many examples as people who were born as a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth.
    2
  2334.  @anniesmolkin7685  I misspoke, apologies. I do believe they were born transgender, people don't choose that. What I meant to say is that historically, there's been plenty of examples of people living as a gender other than the one they were assigned. People who were raised as girls but grew up to live as men, and vice versa. And people keep going on about the risk and effects of transitioning, well what about the risks of not transitioning? Do you think it's harmless to make a transgender teen go through puberty? Because it'd be as harmful as giving hormone therapy to a cisgender teen.

    2
  2338.  @adriana12995  By "destroying the nuclear family" do you think they want to make it illegal to be a family or something? Like, I keep seeing that phrase repeated without context. I looked into it and they're in favor of getting rid of the "nuclear family" as the norm of a family unit, and including more family members to be involved in each other's lives, and that family can go beyond the people you're biologically related to. How is that a bad thing? Here's the full quote: "We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable,” In a world where the socioeconomic reality of many people lead to parents working constantly to make enough money to support their family, do we really want to cling to this concept of a nuclear family?

  2346. Eden's views are based on religion, not reality. Cindy's views are based on reality and it's wonderful to see someone confidently defending progressive ideas. Does that leave you annoyed and uncomfortable? Well, facts don't care about your feelings.
    2
  2347. I think there is absolutely something wrong with people who "don't agree with" the existence of LGBTQ+ people.
    2
  2348.  @stantxtstraykidsandseventeen "The ideologies"? There's no "ideologies".
    2
  2349.  @vigilante9589  Yeah but what the hell does "not agreeing" mean? I don't get it. Someone says "I'm gay" and you say "I disagree"?

  2350. Discipline is generally a good thing. Forcing yourself to be abstinent because a religion demands it is harmful.

  2351. In the US, this year alone, there have been 199 mass shootings as of July 30th. How many mass stabbings have there been?

  2353. We live in a void in which life can only exist with highly advanced technology, on a planet where most of the surface is hostile to life, on which a diverse population of lifeforms has come to exist through a great many extinctions over an incredibly long time. Doesn't exactly sound designed for life to me. This comment is mostly for others though, considering you appear to be some kind of conspiracy theorist. I don't expect you to be swayed by it.
    2
  2354. It is the correct word. That's what you have to demonstrate if you want "humans exist" to be evidence for the existence of a god. Complexity doesn't indicate design, design is recognized in contrast to what occurs naturally.
    2
  2355. "You get paid for what you do" is not how capitalism works.
    2
  2356.  @thomasl4992  Well capitalism doesn't just reward work. Its main characteristic is that it rewards ownership, because it allows for the private ownership of the means of production. So if you're already wealthy and you own a business or real estate that someone's renting, you are now getting paid for what others do. That's what I meant.
    2
  2357. "NOOooOoOoOOO HUmANiTY's GOnNA GO EXTiNCT BECAUSE SOME GUYS PAINT THeIR NAILS OR DATE OTHER GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Damn dude you sound so masculine

  2361. And I hate to see believers who are so dogmatic that they forget their human compassion and ability to think critically.
    2
  2362. It's like you've replaced your brain with a book.
    2
  2363. Incorrect, it's the lack of theistic belief.
    2
  2364. Or it's because after rich people have "lost it all" they still have more to bounce back from in terms of money, assets, and opportunities than poor people do. And yes, some rich people come from poor backgrounds. But guess what? Most of them didn't. Looking at statistics tells you more than looking at individual examples and anecdotes.
    2
  2365. Nope, they're women.
    2
  2366. Not all of them. There's lever action rifles for example.
    2
  2367. Adam and Eve are fictional.
    2
  2368. Uh, no, you can call yourself a woman and people will still continue to call you a woman. Trans women are women who are trans, and cis women are women who are cis.
    2
  2369.  @zachman5150  You're the confused one, shitheel. Now go play in traffic. You don't get to promote violence against trans people and then act like you're just here to discuss a topic.
    2
  2370. Anyone who thinks these people deserve death is a vile person.
    2
  2371.  @northmd  You really wanna point at cellphone manufacturing as a win for capitalism? The people doing that work tend not to be compensated very well for their long working hours.
    2
  2372. Look, I don't agree with Christianity either, and we should prevent them from indoctrinating kids, but they do deserve rights.
    2
  2373. Republicans are trying to take their rights away as we speak in various states.
    2
  2374.  @zachman5150  If you want people to argue with you in earnest, don't be a smug transphobic troll. I'll answer if someone else asks.
    2
  2375.  @Milosevic.  Women should play in women's sports and men should play in men's sports, including trans women and trans men respectively. Sports organizations can have their own rules for whether hormone therapy is required and how much. Banning trans people from playing with other people of their gender entirely is an attack on their rights, plain and simple. And yes, trans women are women, and trans men are men. Gender and sex aren't the same thing. And I didn't even specify children, but trans minors of the appropriate age should have access to puberty blockers at the very least.
    2
  2376. Would you prefer ignorant and reactionary?
    2
  2377.  @john-lukecunningham2932  Why would a god use a book? Anyone could write a book. If there's a god who wants people to believe, surely he could do something more impressive.

  2379.  @ArthurCSchaperMR  Correct yourself.
    2
  2380. Trans women are women who are trans, dipshit.
    2
  2381. I feel like people who talk about the waves of feminism tend to have a very inaccurate idea of what they actually mean. To say that all of "third wave feminism" is toxic bad feminists is a strawman, or at best an inaccuracy. And to hold up the previous waves as flawless is also incorrect. Second wave feminists have committed actual acts of terror in the past, look uo Rote Zora. And a lot of second wave feminists today are hugely transphobic.
    2
  2382. Republicans in some states are already looking at banning contraception.
    2
  2383. The one that isn't an irrational homophobe.
    2
  2384.  @JH324  If you look at two consenting adults in love and see an "abomination", that's pretty irrational and hateful.
    2
  2385.  @JH324  Give me this God person's email and I will. In the meantime, there's still nothing wrong with being gay.
    2
  2386.  @lia-sl9im  Why is it dependent on belief? Does your god favor the gullible?
    2
  2387.  @lia-sl9im  How do you know?
    2
  2388.  @lia-sl9im  Go for it
    2
  2389. For medical reasons, yes. People generally don't wait for 8 months to terminate a pregnancy simply because they don't want to be pregnant.
    2
  2390. Sure, but they don't apply the scientific method to their theistic beliefs.
    2
  2391. I agree, conservatives should leave kids alone.
    2
  2392.  @maxkilo4789  You're embarassing yourself.
    2
  2393.  @maxkilo4789  Honestly, even like four years ago the whole "hEy SoY bOy, Do YoU nEeD a SaFe SpAcE?? XD" bit was a bit old.
    2
  2394. Do what specifically?
    2
  2395. No god has ever been demonstrated to exist. Planets orbiting the sun is not "luck", it's the result of the laws of physics. You have no justification for this theistic claim.
    2
  2396. Source?
    2
  2397.  @josephokwute4830  It's an umbrella term containing gay people, bi people, trans people, etc. And no, they're not evil. They're not harming anyone by loving people of the same gender. And marriage is a social construct made by humans.
    2
  2398.  @josephokwute4830  The fact that your religion says it's evil doesn't mean it is.
    2
  2399. It's better.
    2
  2400. How do you justify accepting a religious answer though? What's wrong with simply saying "I don't know" when science doesn't have an answer for something?
    2
  2401. Thoroughly indoctrinated
    2
  2402. That's kind of a horrible thing to want, isn't it?
    2
  2403. Nobody decides to be LGBTQ+ though.

  2413. @Alpha And I don't get where you get the crazy idea that it's any of your goddamn business how people identify, but you keep replying to every single LGBTQ+ Christian with "NUH UH!!!" anyway.
    2
  2414. Cis isn't a pronoun, it's an adjective that literally just means you're not trans.
    2
  2415. If you're wealthy.
    2
  2416. Survivorship bias
    2
  2417. Then you probably shouldn't be a Christian
    2
  2418. What proof is that, Elvis?
    2
  2419.  @loosecannonball7926  Insanity? People who commit crimes aren't necessarily insane. But when you don't make an effort to rehabilitate people who commit crimes, they're likely to commit more. Sounds like you're more focused on some notion of vengeance and making people suffer whom you feel "deserve it" rather than actually getting better outcomes like a lower crime rate.
    2
  2420. Why would you want to get in between center right and far right? I say keep going left!
    2
  2421. How?
    2
  2422. Indoctrination is what those conservatives are about.
    2
  2423. Bad movie?
    2
  2424. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  2425.  @warriorandchildofgod2425  The "you know deep down!!!" argument (if you can even call it one) is so dishonest. As if you know more about our beliefs than we do.
    2
  2426. Definitely could be. One of the most iconic works of modern art is a urinal, after all.
    2
  2427. Most of these comments appear to be Blaire White fans flooding the comment section, minds already made up.

  2430. Nothing fails like prayer.
    2
  2431. I feel like you're selling yourself short.
    2
  2432. In short, it's a movement that started in 2017 when women started coming out about having been sexually abused by film producer Harvey Weinstein, and it's essentially about not letting powerful people get away with sexual abuse, as they so often have in the past.

  2438. I'd rather they try to improve it.
    2
  2439. But enough about landlords.
    2
  2440. Isn't she the TERF who advocated for violence against trans women? (That was a rhetorical question. She did, in fact, do that.)
    2
  2441. "The left hates Trump more than they love Biden." Yes.
    2
  2442. Yeah
    2
  2443. @Çerastes Gravity, air, oxygen (weird that you mention air and oxygen seperately, do you think they're different?) and electricity demonstrably exist. They're measurable. Unlike any gods.
    2
  2444. The lack of evidence for theism. Atheism is the default position.
    2
  2445. The "Marxist infiltration of society"? And you were doing so well.
    2
  2446. If anything there's not enough of them
    2
  2447. Rejoin society? What the fuck?
    2
  2448. No offense but being able to lift yourself out of poverty by becoming a tool for American imperialism is not exactly an inspiring story.
    2
  2449.  @55cripsack  So you're part of that cult founded by a well-known conman only around 200 years ago?
    2
  2450. You really think that people shouldn't make any decisions of their own until they turn 18?
    2
  2451. Trans women are real women, dipshit.
    2
  2452. Cool, so what's the demonstrable scientific evidence that necessitates the existence of Allah?
    2
  2453. That's not what a pronoun is.
    2
  2454. It's an adjective. Cisgender is an adjective.
    2
  2455. Trump wants to ban trans people from serving in the military.
    2
  2456. You are irredeemably evil.
    2
  2457. That disqualifies women with Swyer Syndrome.
    2
  2458.  @vickyrandall4334  That's still roughly half a million women on the planet who fail to meet your definition of womanhood whom you would still consider to be a woman.
    2
  2459.  @vickyrandall4334  How about making some exceptions for trans women too then?
    2
  2460.  @vickyrandall4334  What about the minority of cisgender women who take advantage of women in vulnerable situations?
    2
  2461. Agnosticism and atheism are not mutually exclusive. Most atheists are also agnostic.
    2
  2462. He had no facts, just beliefs that he called "facts".
    2
  2463. Sentencing a group of people who aren't hurting anyone to forced celibacy is completely asinine. You have the right to have an opinion, and we have the right to tell you it's horseshit.
    2
  2464. Marxism seems like something Jesus might be into. I can't really imagine him as a capitalist.
    2
  2465. What's disrespectful about it? You're a woman, and you're cisgender.
    2
  2466. You're wrong.

  2473. Yes, without a doubt.
    2
  2474. Not even close.

  2475. James, nice to hear I'm not the only one who feels that way about ol' Horseshit.

  2481. Marxism is the solution.
    2
  2482. What exactly is it that you "don't agree with"?
    2
  2483. "Crony capitalism" isn't some corrupted form of capitalism, it's the natural outcome of capitalism. Wealth lets you make more wealth, so the wealthy get wealthier and wealthier. Until they run the whole show.
    2
  2484. So all schools should be privately owned? Yeah, I'm sure the education system will do great when it's exclusively being run with the motive of financial profit. Totally not dystopian at all.
    2
  2485.  Tan Tan  So you believe you saw the prophet of Christianity, cool. But if you want to convince anyone else that hell is real, you're gonna want demonstrable evidence, otherwise you might as well be telling gay people to be abstinent to avoid the evil invisible unicorn who attacks people who have gay sex. And for goodness' sake, lay off the ellpises, please. There's other ways to punctuate your sentences.

  2493. Disney is nothing without labor. If there's no one to animate, to act, to write, to wear character costumes and sell churros at their parks, they have nothing.

    2
  2495. Big fan of Liberia huh? 😂
    2
  2496. Of course you can still be called a woman. No one said you couldn't. Cis is just an adjective meaning you identify with the gender you were assigned at birth, essentially the opposite of trans.
    2
  2497. No one's born a woman. It's something you become. Most by simply growing up, others by transitioning.
    2
  2498. A woman is someone who identifies as a woman and is treated by society as one. It's a social role.

  2499. Weird how it conflicts with science so much then.

  2500. @Barislav Lmao, don't act like I don't know who this is.
    2
  2501. Don't listen to Sleepy Hollow, ComDam, he's just a raging homophobe. It's great that you realized the impact of your words and are trying to be better.
    2
  2502.  @betrayql9226  Nobody "works for billions". That's the point.
    2
  2503.  @betrayql9226  You're delusional. Elon Musk didn't get ridiculously wealthy by just working hard. He was born to wealthy parents and went straight into business. His wealth comes not from working but from owning businesses in which those below him do the work.
    2
  2504.  @betrayql9226  Do you think they were personally mining for emeralds in there?
    2
  2505.  @betrayql9226  It's truly sad to see people defending the exploitation of the working class.
    2
  2506.  @ethanfenton7329  Of course we can. Ancient humans created it to reflect their ideas, why wouldn't we be able to change it?
    2
  2507. Trans women aren't cis women, but they're women. Or are you arguing that post-menopausal cis women cease to be women? Or that cis women with persistent long-term amenorrhea aren't women? Pick any sex characteristic to use to define womanhood or manhood and you'll find that you're excluding people who you would otherwise absolutely consider to be women or men respectively.
    2
  2508.  @deezknotsonyourchin  There's also cis women who don't have a uterus.
    2
  2509.  @deezknotsonyourchin  There's cis women who are born without one.
    2
  2510. Ditto, Jason. Any place you have to share with someone like Avatar is a hell by default.
    2
  2511. I think it's cool they didn't invite any TERFs. TERFs shouldn't be invited to anything.
    2
  2512. Uh, what "lifestyle choices" would those be?
    2
  2513. Manipulating children into doing stuff they don't want to is bad. But we should let minors transition if they want to. In the way appropriate for their age of course, most of which aren't even medical in nature.
    2
  2514.  @zachman5150  Gay people are a minority. Doesn't mean the term "straight" is redundant or unnecessary. Also, I didn't ask you, so be quiet.
    2
  2515. So no one should be rich.
    2
  2516.  @lendrestapas2505  I'm saying they shouldn't.
    2
  2517. Would you say Arwen from The Lord of the Rings is a woman, OsakaJoe01?
    2
  2518. Why? Are you a trans woman?
    2
  2519. No
    2
  2520.  @Islander05  You depress me, John.
    2
  2521. Lmao
    2
  2522. I just rolled my eyes so hard I think I may have sustained permanent damage to my optic nerves. Always with this "BUT YOU CHOSE TO SIGN A CONTRACT SO YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN!!!" nonsense, as if that somehow precludes exploitation.
    2
  2523.  @firehunters9628  Depends. Is the price fair? Are there alternatives? Do you need the car in order to go to work? If you live in an area with very few public transportation options and you need a car, that could be something that leads them to signing a bad deal simply because the alternative is worse.
    2
  2524.  @toxicsheep9203  Because people like having more than basic living necessities? When I was 16 I didn't have to pay rent or buy my own food but I got a shitty supermarket job because I wanted a Nintendo Wii.
    2
  2525. How do you know?
    2
  2526. Cis is an adjective. You are a woman. A woman who is cisgender.
    2
  2527. I wish Matt Walsh, self-described theocratic fascist, got everything he deserved 🤣
    2
  2528. If you can't afford to pay your workers enough to live, what are you doing running a business?
    2
  2529. Because they can invest. If you have money, you can make more money. What do you invest if most of your money is spent on food, rent, and other necessities?
    2
  2530.  @youngfinance6319  Even that can be hard to do when you're struggling for money, as most of your energy is spent on making enough to get by.
    2
  2531. @Alpha Books aren't just for instructions. They can also be used to tell fictional stories. Tales that can inspire you, make you think, and give you an insight in the mind of the writer and the zeitgeist of the writer's time period. But aren't factually true.
    2
  2532. They arent.
    2
  2533. Aren't they?
    2
  2534. No, I have a heartbeat because that's how my blood gets pumped around my body to transport oxygen to the various parts that need it. Didn't you pay attention in biology class?
    2
  2535. Candace Owens is a grifter.
    2
  2536. Jeez Cerastes, are you patrolling this comment section or something? You're always right on top of these people.
    2
  2537. Clown profile pic
    2
  2538. How the heck is it not a religion just like Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, et cetera? It's a set of supernatural beliefs involving a god, rules, traditions, you name it. It meets the definition.
    2
  2539. Why?
    2
  2540. Because we share a world with a lot of people who believe in a god, and this belief shapes a lot of their other beliefs and actions. It's because of ancient religion that we're only recently getting LGBTQ+ equality, for example.
    2
  2541. If we want our burgers flipped, some people will need to work as burger flippers. Should they not make enough money to live off of?
    2
  2542. I have no reason to believe any religions are correct, but progressive Christianity is at least far less harmful than conservative Christianity.
    2
  2543.  @nelsonr1467  Like I said, a less harmful version.
    2
  2544. No.
    2
  2545. Why?
    2
  2546. Y'all need Poseidon
    2
  2547. What the fuck is a "scientific meaning of life"?
    2
  2548. Having a gender identity that doesn't match your sex can cause a great deal of gender dysphoria, and transitioning alleviates that.
    2
  2549. What the fuck are you talking about? I don't want anyone dead.
    2
  2550.  @Nanofuture87  Why do you guys always treat socialism and authoritarianism as synonymous? I'm anti-authoritarian.
    2
  2551.  @Nanofuture87  Look into libertarian socialism.
    2
  2552. Then you will be wrong for the rest of your life.
    2
  2553. It's scary how ignorant you are. What do you think black people and white people became 100% equal when slavery was abolished? No other systemic issues following that at all?
    2
  2554. It's not a prefix, it's an adjective. You use them all the time.
    2
  2555. Please find a better role model.
    2
  2556. Try showing demonstrable evidence that hell is real first, otherwise why would I ever care?
    2
  2557. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. That's the reality.
    2
  2558. Lose the scare quotes, shitheel.
    2
  2559. You can't deny your sexuality and stop yourself from ever experiencing romantic love and expect to have a good life. There's literally nothing wrong with sleeping someone of the same gender. It harms no one. Your beliefs, however, are very harmful.
    2
  2560. Why do you want kids to learn less?
    2
  2561. If you're a woman, and you're not a cis woman, the only logical conclusion is that you're a trans woman.
    2
  2562. On the contrary, basic sex education helps children identify inappropriate acts that they ordinarily might not recognize as inappropriate.
    2
  2563. No need to insult her.
    2
  2564. Why don't you take your Big Problem and shove it?
    2
  2565. Cerastes, you're having this discussion because you can't tolerate the existence of LGBTQ+ Christians and feel the need to sealion every single one.
    2
  2566. @Megatronix No, people being rude to you isn't proof that your religion is correct. You're just an asshole.
    2
  2567. Age and ignorance often go hand in hand.
    2
  2568. Why though? Let people eat what they want, damn.
    2
  2569.  @dumbspud9890  By definition it can't be murder if it's not unlawful.
    2
  2570. He's got a lot of faith alright. I just don't think that's a good thing.
    2
  2571. Not a different category. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  2572. Why are you encouraging that incredibly unhealthy behavior? I mean he's free to do what he wants of course, but it seems pretty clear that he's a gay man who's been convinced that he has to act as if that part of himself doesn't exist, for religious reasons.
    2
  2573. Why would they want to invite a pedophile?
    2
  2574. Who is this supposed to convince? Do you think people are atheists because they haven't heard this particular story?
    2
  2575. That literally is abuse, you're describing abuse right now
    2
  2576. If you look up "What does the scholarly research say about the effect of gender transition on transgender well-being?", you'll find a meta-study that looks at 55 different studies on the effects of transitioning on the well-being of trans people. To quote from their conclusion: "This search found a robust international consensus in the peer-reviewed literature that gender transition, including medical treatments such as hormone therapy and surgeries, improves the overall well-being of transgender individuals. The literature also indicates that greater availability of medical and social support for gender transition contributes to better quality of life for those who identify as transgender." If you look up the study "Young Adult Psychological Outcome After Puberty Suppression and Gender Reassignment" at the American Academy of Pediatrics, you'll find that they conclude that giving age-appropriate gender-affirming care to trans youth (starting with fully reversible puberty blockers and continuing on to hormone therapy and surgery once they're older) alleviates their gender dysphoria and vastly improves their psychological functioning.
    2
  2577.  @nierautomato  There were a bunch of other accounts that came and went, all with a profile picture of a cartoon of a black woman, that frequently said "buhm" just like he just did. As well as a plethora of other phrases, many of them highly homophobic, all of them spelled slightly wrong so as to get past the filters. This man has a bizarre obsession with being homophobic to strangers.
    2
  2578. How do you know?
    2
  2579. "I don't hate left handed people! I just believe it's evil for them to use their left hand to do things!"
    2
  2580. Cry some more.
    2
  2581. No, humans literally define those things.
    2
  2582. Confirmation bias.
    2
  2583.  Raa16  Demanding that married couples stay together for life, no matter what might happen or how they might change, is not an example of "superior morality", but a stubborn and harmful adherence to tradition.
    2
  2584. Don't feel bad for us. We're fine without religion.
    2
  2585. "Ape theory"?
    2
  2586. Facts and religion aren't compatible, and peace shouldn't be valued over justice.
    2
  2587.  @fatnakedjimmyneutron  I'm not gonna, cause it's not even real.
    2
  2588. "We can't be racist we elected a black guy" is "I can't be racist I have black friends" on a national scale
    2
  2589. "Don't think about morality, just believe book!"
    2
  2590. @Çaesar Don't you have any homophobic slurs to post? Or did you get all of that out of your system on your previous three YouTube accounts?
    2
  2591.  @AutumnSkies10  Nah I'm good, I think I'll keep supporting trans people instead of believing in some bizarrely transphobic deity.
    2
  2592. I guess it depends on what kind of robot we're talking about. There's a big difference in between a machine that assembles cars and a hypothetical self-aware hyper-advanced android.
    2
  2593.  @murdoch1717  Well yeah, things like "gay people shouldn't be able to get married" or "being gay is something wicked and evil" are intolerant positions. And part of tolerance is not tolerating intolerance. It's not hypocrisy, it's homophobes wanting their bigotry to be heard and people not falling for it.
    2
  2594. I'm better qualified to tell you what beliefs I hold than an ancient book is.
    2
  2595.  @daddada2984  Christianity explains nothing as long as their claims don't have demonstrable evidence backing them up. And they don't, or we'd call it science instead of religion.
    2
  2596. You think billionaires work for their money lmao
    2
  2597. What's a "liberal/socialist/Democrat"? Do you think those all mean the same thing?
    2
  2598. Sleepy Hollow, I am here to warn you. The lifestyle you have chosen (that of the obnoxious Christian zealot) comes with serious consequences. It means that people are far more likely to say things like "Oh for fuck's sake, here comes that zealot again, screaming about gay people." Repent, Sleepy Hollow! And maybe one day, you too can become a decent human being!
    2
  2599.  @webb555  The wind demonstrably exists and we scientifically understand how it works, and there's plenty of historical evidence for Columbus. There's no demonstrable evidence for any god though.
    2
  2600.  @webb555  We have plenty of writings from people about him. Plus the required amount of evidence is quite a bit lower considering he's not claimed to be an all-powerful deity, you know?
    2
  2601. Spoken like someone who doesn't know what those words mean.
    2
  2602.  @TrippEvans  We don't name viruses after where they originate from though. Because, as Lyrical pointed out, that tends to cause discrimination.
    2
  2603. Demons aren't real, weirdo.
    2
  2604. Trans women are women, dipshit.
    2
  2605. What the fuck is a "fimanist"
    2
  2606. How is it not? It's a piece of media that, whether intentionally or not, says something about the society that produced it.
    2
  2607. Wow, the bible sounds kind of shitty.
    2
  2608. According to your ancient superstitions maybe.
    2
  2609. @Creative You're projecting. Fuck off already, would ya?
    2
  2610. Why?
    2
  2611. As one should be
    2
  2612. "Okay, when should I reveal my existence to people? In about two thousand years when events can be recorded through video and shared around the world in mere moments? Nah, now's fine, oral tradition and writings are more than enough."
    2
  2613. The enlightened centrist has logged on
    2
  2614. You don't choose who you're attracted to.
    2
  2615. You've got it backwards. It's because of the hard work and clever thinking of countless workers that billionaires were able to hoard such gargantuan amounts of wealth.
    2
  2616. So you'll only use the correct pronouns for trans folks who are "well spoken" enough? Basic respect for someone's identity should be a given, not dependent on whether you like someone enough.
    2
  2617.  @MegrelMamba  Transphobes aren't normal.
    2
  2618. Sure, you can value science and still hold unscientific beliefs.
    2
  2619. Nope.
    2
  2620. Conservatives live in a world of delusion and make believe. The denial of facts with these people is staggering.
    2
  2621. Atheism is the lack of theistic belief, not the absolute claim that there is no god. I can say that no god exists to the same degree that I can say no ghosts exist, in that the reality that I observe is indistinguishable from one in which they don't exist, to such a degree that if these supernatural beings, whether they be deities or spirits of dead people, did exist, they would have to be actively hiding from scientific inquiry.
    2
  2622.  @bearcats513  If something can't be observed how can we come to reliable conclusions about its existence?
    2
  2623.  @bearcats513  The colloquial definition or the Christian one?
    2
  2624.  @zachman5150  I find it quite sad that you come back here specifically just to continuously misgender the gentlemen in this video.
    2
  2625. Then this god needs to get their eyes checked.
    2
  2626. David was the best one.
    2
  2627.  @JESUSLOVESYOU219  And I'm okay with that, because the alternative is child abuse.
    2
  2628.  @JESUSLOVESYOU219  The thing is that gay people's relationships don't involve child abuse. I mean it's not that complicated. Of course you draw lines where there's demonstrable harm.
    2
  2629.  @JESUSLOVESYOU219  Right. It's not fine because I or a bunch of other people say it is, it's fine because, unlike grooming children, relationships between people of the same gender aren't demonstrably harmful.
    2
  2630. A parent should accept their child and give them what they need in order to be happy. A parent should not make their child suffer needlessly.
    2
  2631. @Hong Kong So you just keep deleting your accounts and making new ones because you feel like it? That's pretty weird.
    2
  2632. Because she's an insane person
    2
  2633.  @henriqc9323  Feelings. Trans people are statistically far more likely to be the victim of assault than the perpetrators. This "bathroom issue" was fabricated as an attack on trans people, who have been using the bathroom of the gender they identify as for decades.
    2
  2634.  @sshanks9253  Absolutely not, trans people have existed for a long time.
    2
  2635. But wouldn't you agree that women and men generally have some pretty different experiences?
    2
  2636. Disgustingly ignorant comment. Non-hetero sexualities are not something to be "cured".
    2
  2637. Joshua, I just fucking HATE your sexuality. I just, really fucking despise it. It makes me sick to my stomach. But I love ya! Yeah, doesn't sound very loving, does it?
    2
  2638. What in the goddamn hell are you talking about?
    2
  2639. They're not "not men or women" though. They're trans women. Women who are trans.
    2
  2640. What you consider ruining, others consider improving.
    2
  2641. So you're a trans woman?
    2
  2642. Conservatives? I agree.
    2
  2643. We should all hold hatred in our hearts for the exploitation of the working class for the purpose of hoarding wealth.
    2
  2644. What would you know about being a nice person?
    2
  2645. You're right, the progressives make more sense
    2
  2646. It means you identify as the gender you were assigned at birth.
    2
  2647.  @tylarrobertson4319  Yeah they are though.
    2
  2648. Can't "get right with" someone I'm not convinced exists.
    2
  2649. It's actually this transphobic bigotry that's extremely harmful.
    2
  2650. Cool
    2
  2651.  @geemai435  But that doesn't happen. Men don't pretend to be trans to get into women's spaces. There's no data to suggest that's happening.
    2
  2652. ​ @zachman5150  "Bugs" are insects and have NOTHING to do with errors in computer software."
    2
  2653. People in the comments really going all out with their casual transphobia huh
    2
  2654. They are, though.
    2
  2655. "It's not a belief, it's a fact, Spongebob!"
    2
  2656. People like Gates take from their workers. The carefully curated story is that billionaires like Jobs, Musk, Gates, etc "create" businesses and technology. And while of course they contributed, it's the workers under them who really created it all. Amazon can survive without Jeff Bezos, it can't survive without its warehouse employees. And the wealthiest people are quite adept at paying as few income taxes as possible.
    2
  2657. Can you really love someone if you hate a fundamental part of them?
    2
  2658.  @markofabecic6824  Why would any of that make you conservative?
    2
  2659. Mols, we are apes. We're mammals, too. Humans may have a unique role on this planet right now due to our larger brain capacity and ability to use tools, but we're still animals.
    2
  2660. I'm pretty sure what we consider to be "the bible" today has gone through many revisions.
    2
  2661. Follow your leader and leave early.
    2
  2662. Tim's realistic. Woken up from the American Dream.
    2
  2663. Why?
    2
  2664.  @redpill3862  Atheism describes the lack of theistic belief. It makes no claims of its own.
    2
  2665.  @mooncrow9325  Such a rude bird. "LOL!!!"
    2
  2666. You're an insane reactionary cultist.
    2
  2667.  @criticclips1560  Hi, I liked TombWraith's comments because I agreed with them. Hope that clears that up.
    2
  2668. In one breath talking about bizarre ideas that will hurt people, and in the next talking about how we should all obey an ancient book of mythology. Beyond parody.
    2
  2669. Capitalism certainly isn't sustainable.
    2
  2670.  @MMDelta9  Capitalism is a specific economic model, not simply the concept of "free trade".
    2
  2671. Why are someone's "parts" any of your concern in a public bathroom?
    2
  2672. @Creative If your "evidence" is that your book "predicted" that you'd go around acting like a homophobic ass and we'd get tired of it, that'd be a self-fulfilling prophecy. And yes, yes, "UHH ACTUALLY HOMOPHOBIA ISN'T REAL BECAUSE NOBODY IS SCARED OF THE GAYS", we've heard it all before. You're just a broken record at this point.
    2
  2673. She said no one is doing that unless it's medically necessary. And indeed, why would someone who wasn't planning on carrying their pregnancy to term wait eight months before getting an abortion?
    2
  2674. Reactionary fascist.
    2
  2675.  @zachman5150  Weak response. Embarassing.
    2
  2676. That's probably why they're conservatives
    2
  2677. Maybe this homophobic god should stop desiring a path for gay people that requires them to be celibate.
    2
  2678. It costs 0 dollars to believe eating bananas will make you live for 500 years. But there's no good reason to believe it. I don't pick and choose my beliefs, either I'm convinced something is true or I'm not.
    2
  2679. The lie that it's about "biological advantage" really falls apart when you see that they're banning trans women from things like chess. Guess you need a lot of testosterone to move those pawns around the board.
    2
  2680. Cerastes, you should stay abstinent from commenting here.
    2
  2681. Cerastes, you need to find a hobby that isn't gatekeeping your religion against LGBTQ+ people. It's time to stop.
    2
  2682. I've explained this to you before. I'm only intolerant towards intolerance, like your intolerance toward LGBTQ+ people. Either you have a very selective memory or you're being blatantly dishonest. And the more I talk to you, the more I lean toward the latter theory.
    2
  2683. We need more Davids, rather than capitalism apologists like you.
    2
  2684. Is it me or has it become really obvious that this Ronald McDonald character is yet another Megatronix/Caesar/Alpha/etc sockpuppet account?
    2
  2685. She's a BETAMALE
    2
  2686. When was it "great"?
    2
  2687. Why?
    2
  2688. Poverty isn't something that just exists by default. As a species we can decide to end it, or at the very least to reduce it as much as possible, we simply haven't. And the bitterness will change something if the bitterness translates to action. In Minecraft.
    2
  2689. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they
    2
  2690. It's important not to be conservative.
    2
  2691. Must be an awfully fragile society if a few trans people can make it collapse.
    2
  2692.  @zachman5150  It's pathetic, the way you think of a little phrase you think sounds clever and then just keep repeating it. Almost as pathetic as the way you wish violence on trans people and then ignore it when called out on it. Fascist filth.
    2
  2693. What, would the other suns in the galaxy "fall down" were it not for an omnipotent spirit's instructions? You made some claims, now demonstrate that they're true.
    2
  2694. Yeah it was probably the 11 year old's fault, what the fuck is wrong with you
    2
  2695. You don't think they're conservatives?
    2
  2696. And if house cats were the size of lions we'd all get eaten. But they're not, and LGBTQ+ people are still a minority. So what the hell is your point?
    2
  2697. Holy shit Cerastes, put down the script. Youtube comments are not for evangelizing.
    2
  2698.  @LukeMelkesian27  It's an ancient book of mythology.
    2
  2699. Being called cisgender is a "threat" now??
    2
  2700. I have a question. The link you shared mentions that god cannot be demonstrated scientifically, and that one must choose to have faith. But can this method not be used to justify belief in literally anything, from fairies to invisible space whales? And given that, isn't faith a very unreliable method of distinguishing truth from non-truth?
    2
  2701. You're still obsessed.
    2
  2702. The difference is arbitrary. By the way, the Trump administration doesn't share your wish for more legal immigration.
    2
  2703. That's not really relevant to the video.
    2
  2704.  @JAB541  No, you definitely are.
    2
  2705.  @JAB541  I do support same-gender couples raising kids, because I'm not a reactionary dipshit.
    2
  2706. Transitioning and being trans are not the same thing.
    2
  2707. How do you know?
    2
  2708. Spirits aren't real. Don't say nonsense.
    2
  2709.  @jmjfanss  What, are you saying he can take off his skin?
    2
  2710. You're fine with not allowing women to control their own bodies just in case their recently fertilized egg cell happens to somehow be a person already?
    2
  2711. Why would you follow, let alone worship such a horrible god?
    2
  2712. Has nothing to do with the video
    2
  2713. Andrew Tate is in jail where he belongs.
    2
  2714. He's been coming "very soon" for about two thousand years now.
    2
  2715. @Drewskey Except when Christians do it? Remember, the Christian deity is basically just a fanfiction version of the one from Judaism, which itself was taken from ancient Israelite polytheism.
    2
  2716. Atheism is "wrong"? How's that?
    2
  2717. ​ @miajohnson9015 The fact that all of these "ex- LGBTQ+" folks are hardcore Christians tells me that these are closeted LGBTQ+ people pretending to be "changed" because that's what their book expects from them.
    2
  2718. And again with the Star Trek references, have you even watched that show? I can't imagine someone being a Star Trek fan and still being such a reactionary dipshit.
    2
  2719. @Ruby It's funny how hard transphobes try to act like the victim of discrimination.
    2
  2720. You were once a diaper-pooping baby. So you are still a diaper-pooper. There are no "ex"-diaper poopers.
    2
  2721. Yeah they are.
    2
  2722. "They" is a pronoun that doesn't signify any gender, that tends to be used by people who identify as nonbinary.
    2
  2723. That isn't happening.
    2
  2724.  @musememe1349  Sure it can. Humans aren't the only social species with unwritten rules of conduct.
    2
  2725. True, conservatives are very confused individuals.
    2
  2726.  @tanyathorvilson  They already did, it came out before this one.
    2
  2727. Why would they invite that grifter?
    2
  2728. True, and conservatives are even worse.
    2
  2729. Because both Trump and his followers have said harsh and dehumanizing things about immigrants, Trump wants to build a giant wall which his followers seem to support, and the Trump administration has made legal immigration much more difficult.
    2
  2730. As far as I can tell, this god is indistinguishable from a non-existent one. That's not about "not wanting people to be robots". That's actively hiding your existence.
    2
  2731. What's really dangerous is people who believe every word of an ancient book, and don't think critically about it or apply morality to it at all.
    2
  2732.  @v3n0mx917  History books are written by contemporary historians who research history for a living. The bible was written by unknown authors in the bronze age and makes supernatural claims that have not met their burden of proof. And I didn't say anything about "applying the bible". I said applying morality to the bible. As in actually thinking "hey, is what this book is telling me to do actually moral?"
    2
  2733.  @v3n0mx917  Sure, historical accounts will never be completely reliable and objective. But they're more reliable than ancient supernatural claims that are lacking in demonstrable evidence.
    2
  2734.  @harbour08  And? I don't care if a religion labels something as "sin". Being openly gay harms absolutely no one. There's no rational reason to be against it.
    2
  2735. "The idea"? What "idea"?
    2
  2736.  @jkay3735  Oh okay, you're one of those "socialism = USSR-style authoritarianism and literally nothing else" types.
    2
  2737.  @florida_sucks  I meant which wealthy people, but that's on me for not being specific with my question.
    2
  2738. The religious fundamentalist? Really? There's nothing sane about that.
    2
  2739. Skill issue
    2
  2740. Well it has. People are lining up for food because they can't afford to feed themselves as the 1% are wealthier than they've ever been. Not to mention the looming climate crisis nothing's being done about because of corporate lobbying.
    2
  2741.  @makaylacrudup8690  The Noah story describes the Christian deity being disappointed in his creation and just wiping all of it out except for one family and a gargantuan boat full of animals. And the idea of hell seems absolutely cruel and misanthropic.
    2
  2742.  @Archalias100  Evidently he isn't, considering according to the stories, he already had to wipe out most of humanity after they didn't turn out how he intended.
    2
  2743. This doesn't mean anything to atheists
    2
  2744. Nor should she
    2
  2745. Why?
    2
  2746.  @VivinAnand  How will workers owning the means off production lead to rights being stripped away and mass deaths?
    2
  2747. ​ @VivinAnand  Wait, so under socialism, there's just going to magically be a food shortage for some reason?
    2
  2748.  @VivinAnand  "Everyone gets the same results"? That's not what I described, I'm talking about the workers owning the means of production, instead of them being privately owned.
    2
  2749. Trans men do compete against other men, dipshit.
    2
  2750. No it's not.
    2
  2751. People like Amala are causing problems for people like Blossom, Gina, and Roxana.
    2
  2752. The great flood is demonstrably not a true story. And what was found on Mount Ararat was a fault that had become vaguely boat-shaped as a result of an earthquake that happened in 1948.
    2
  2753. The Prager U grifter?
    2
  2754. @Kiki Kiki What does a person's genitalia have to do with sports?
    2
  2755. Who is saying you can't call yourself a woman?
    2
  2756.  @dabirdie1797  Damn right! Trans men are men! They aren't women!
    2
  2757.  @dabirdie1797  Nobody's "born a man", people are born as babies, ya dingus.
    2
  2758.  @dabirdie1797  Ugh, this would've been a way better "gotcha" if you hadn't started asking all these questions.
    2
  2759.  @dabirdie1797  A trans man is someone who was assigned female at birth, but identifies as a man, and is thus, a man.
    2
  2760.  @dabirdie1797  No, yeah.
    2
  2761.  @dabirdie1797  False equivalence, because unlike gender, species is not a matter of how you identify.
    2
  2762.  @enaxie  What mainstream media is left-leaning then?
    2
  2763. A blockhead?
    2
  2764. The ones with a uterus
    2
  2765. Being a gay man with internalized homophobia is far from "what's best".
    2
  2766. I promise you there's people who were raised by perfectly decent religious parents and abandoned religion.
    2
  2767. Absolutely incorrect.
    2
  2768. Brandon, I've lived for 28 years without believing in a god, and I'm doing alright.
    2
  2769.  @flowersmakemehappy834  Are you having a stroke?
    2
  2770. I was responding to Meezus, should've clarified, sorry!
    2
  2771. Nah, she needs to speak more. I hope they bring her back in a future video.
    2
  2772. It is a religion though. By definition.
    2
  2773. Good news! There is no hell!
    2
  2774. Cis is absolutely the accepted terminology. Only transphobes who are too cowardly to just come out and say "real women" use the phrase "biological women".
    2
  2775. Don't drive a car if you aren't willing to die in an accident
    2
  2776. Sounds a little irrational
    2
  2777. Psychology does not call it a mental illness. Read the DSM-5.
    2
  2778. Why'd he create hell then? What a dink. Also, being gay, bi, trans, etc isn't a "lifestyle".
    2
  2779. What exactly is it that you "don't support" though?
    2
  2780.  @AndrewSuaste  You don't think kids should learn that gay people exist? Should they be aware that straight people exist?
    2
  2781. Cancel culture is "total censorship"? How's that?
    2
  2782.  @PolyMadd  Cancel culture doesn't remove a person from social media. You're removed from social media if you break their TOS. And even that isn't censorship, it's not like the government is silencing you. You're just not allowed to use a privately owned platform anymore.
    2
  2783. So then no one's a woman. Because literally no one is born a woman.
    2
  2784. Getting Trump to denounce white nationalists is like pulling teeth, and he can't do it without going on a rant about how bad he thinks antifascists are.
    2
  2785.  @flowersmakemehappy834  Is this an alt account of the insane person who asked me about bounce houses the other day?
    2
  2786. Look, I know conservatives are irrational and weak, but it's a bit rude to say they're not "real men".
    2
  2787. Your god is one of many gods that have been proposed to exist. I don't believe in any of them, mind you. But it's important to realize that the Christian god claim isn't special.
    2
  2788. Demonstrable evidence isn't just what we can see, we can detect and measure things in a lot of different ways. As for souls, it depends on whether you mean human consciousness, or a supernatural entity seperate from the human brain. I believe in the former but not the latter.
    2
  2789. Like fucking clockwork.
    2
  2790. You have my pity.
    2
  2791.  @Notinnedfish  It means he doesn't have any arguments.
    2
  2792. There's nothing loving about hating someone's sexuality.
    2
  2793.  @jadeelaine4208  Objectively false, sorry.
    2
  2794. Yeah, conservatism is gross.
    2
  2795. Sounds kinky.
    2
  2796. This comment is an example of you, a republican (I'm assuming), proving that you don't trust science when it doesn't match with ideas you already hold.
    2
  2797. That makes absolutely no sense.
    2
  2798. Might as well just make it women vs women then if we're just getting rid of adjectives.
    2
  2799. I think it's just that they tend to experience discrimination from the same sources, so they stick together in solidarity. That's the idea, anyway. Unfortunately some people support the LGB part but then discriminate against trans folks.
    2
  2800. Why anyone listens to that clown is a mystery to me.
    2
  2801. You're simply wrong though. I don't believe in any gods.
    2
  2802. That's what you believe. I don't hold that belief.
    2
  2803. The enemy being the GOP
    2
  2804. Women can like masculine things. But that doesn't mean trans men don't exist.
    2
  2805.  @VihanDamaris  If God is against abortion, why does he allow natural miscarriages to occur all the time?
    2
  2806. Watch out, a guy names Cerastes is about to come preach at you because you said that.
    2
  2807.  @bsdsa3997  But you were attracted to them before they told you in this scenario.
    2
  2808.  @bsdsa3997  If you really care that every stranger you have sex with is a cis woman you should probably ask them or something.
    2
  2809.  @bsdsa3997  Then they should've asked.
    2
  2810. You said yourself that you believe no one is good.
    2
  2811. Imagine thinking Ben Shapiro is smart 🤭
    2
  2812. Who is this meant to convince?
    2
  2813.  @courtneydiller  A fact is something that is proved to be true.
    2
  2814. Not enough not to misgender them apparently.
    2
  2815. Why don't you like the word "cis"?
    2
  2816.  @paragonofgood  You're female. That is your sex. But your gender, the concept of being a woman, was made up my humans.
    2
  2817. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  2818. Hey, I just asked God and he's cool with LGBTQ+ people.
    2
  2819. An atheist isn't someone who necessarily says that there definitely is no god. Atheism just means not being a theist. Many atheists are also agnostic.
    2
  2820. Must be nice and easy to not think about anything yourself and just mindlessly regurgitate rules from an ancient book.
    2
  2821. What is it that you don't support?
    2
  2822. Obviously you save the child.
    2
  2823. This is your brain on religious indoctrination. A sad sight.
    2
  2824. I feel like you need to demonstrate that a god exists before you can point to one as a potential explanation for the universe.
    2
  2825. What? No
    2
  2826. You are a woman. A woman who is cisgender. And trans women are women as well.
    2
  2827. There's no P in there. Also, demonstrate hell is real, or these threats are meaningless.
    2
  2828. It was ended, sure. But that didn't fix the situation completely. Black people in the US were second class citizens until as recently as the 1960s, and black people on average have had far less of an ability to build generational wealth.
    2
  2829.  @zachman5150  Deandre gave "it's a very insignificant part of the population" as an excuse for why they aren't talked about, when they're extremely relevant to the topic of transitioning as Wojciech pointed out. Because as he said, when an intersex person is born and the doctor and parents basically pick a gender for them, that's them being forced to transition, and that can lead to some terrible gender dysphoria.
    2
  2830.  @zachman5150  Also, this isn't relevant to the point, but throwing all biological sexes other than the most common "male" and "female" into a "birth defect" category is precisely the ignoring I meant. If you say "all swans are white" you can't just say "oh, yeah, black swans exist but they're a birth defect, my statement is still correct". Their existence would make your statement incorrect.
    2
  2831. I am begging you to learn what fascism means.
    2
  2832.  @stitchey8779  Fascism doesn't mean an unwillingness to debate a certain topic. It's a specific political ideology.
    2
  2833.  @ryanthomas9306  "Regrets following gender transition are extremely rare and have become even rarer as both surgical techniques and social support have improved. Pooling data from numerous studies demonstrates a regret rate ranging from .3 percent to 3.8 percent. Regrets are most likely to result from a lack of social support after transition or poor surgical outcomes using older techniques."
    2
  2834. Still so wild to me that people can look at the human trainwreck that is Jordan Peterson as some kind of wise guru.
    2
  2835.  @zanderdoyle2449  A zygote.
    2
  2836.  @zanderdoyle2449  A goldfish.
    2
  2837.  @churchroadrecordsreviewsan231  If your response to having a trans kid is telling them that it's wrong, THAT IS YOU FORCING AN AGENDA ON THEM!
    2
  2838.  @ianjjackson  You have a very... fuzzy definition of what capitalism is. I'm telling you, if you want people to be rewarded for work, capitalism is not the way. Ultimately, what it rewards is ownership. That's how the wealthy keep getting wealthier at the expense of everyone else.
    2
  2839.  @ianjjackson Socialism is an economic system that advocates for social ownership of the means of production. And see, there you go mixing up working and owning again.
    2
  2840.  @ianjjackson  "But you choose to let someone else make it for you and you think you deserve a margin of the profit" No I don't, I'm not the owner of a business.
    2
  2841. It's natural because it occurs in nature. Not everyone's into people of the same gender but some of us clearly are, and we can observe this in animals as well.
    2
  2842. That's right, we have to bring some good ol' leftism back!
    2
  2843. Homophobia means an irrational fear of or dislike of gay people or homosexuality.
    2
  2844. They never responded to the emails.
    2
  2845. My mom is pro choice actually.
    2
  2846. Which means what exactly, Elizabeth?
    2
  2847.  @zachman5150  Is your name Elizabeth?
    2
  2848.  @elizabethgutierrez5709  Who's getting hormones at a young age?
    2
  2849.  @IssyFishyy  You cannot seriously be this politically illiterate.
    2
  2850. Bizarre framing of surgery as "mutilation" aside, what do genitals have to do with sports?
    2
  2851. Not as embarassed as the kids of these conservatives.
    2
  2852. Because they don't want to be segregated, they want to participate in society as the gender they are.
    2
  2853. Cerastes, stop sealioning this 12 year old. Jesus fucking Christ.
    2
  2854. What an ancient book of myths has to say does not matter at all.
    2
  2855. Hey, it's great that you guys want to normalize physical displays of platonic affection. But there's also nothing wrong with two dudes boning. Your religion's simply wrong about that.
    2
  2856. As everyone should.
    2
  2857.  @Islander05  You're making this abstract on purpose. Would it be immoral to "study rules that are available for anyone and everyone to review" so that you can murder someone without being charged for it?
    2
  2858.  @Islander05  If there was some kind of legal loophole where you could murder someone and legally not be in any trouble, would it be ethical to use that?
    2
  2859. Isn't it kind of circular that one must first believe in the Christian deity in order to receive evidence? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
    2
  2860. They're seen as oppositional because scientific discoveries often conflict with creation myths and other beliefs originating from theistic religions, and theism itself has not been demonstrated to be true scientifically.
    2
  2861. No, you can't. "Not agreeing with LGBTQ+" is homophobic. Gay people never chose to be gay, and their sexuality doesn't harm anyone.
    2
  2862. I was simply never indoctrinated into any religions.
    2
  2863.  M. A.  The consequences of not supporting your transgender kid are dire.
    2
  2864.  M. A.  I never said blindly. The fact of the matter is that trans people suffer a lot more when people in their environment aren't accepting of their gender identity. Whereas accepting them has no "dire consequences" at all, only imaginary consequences in the form of an imaginary fiery torture world.
    2
  2865. He's a ghoul wearing human skin
    2
  2866. Like what?
    2
  2867. You have it backwards. If we didn't do the work, they wouldn't be billionaires.
    2
  2868. Already are, and always will be.
    2
  2869. Weird how there's a correlation between religiosity and having backwards and harmful social views
    2
  2870.  @john-lukecunningham2932  No one. Because it's not real.
    2
  2871. Schools teaching children about the world? But what if their parents want them to be ignorant?
    2
  2872. I do love it, yes. Religion changing to fit the times is highly preferable to people clinging to bronze age morality.
    2
  2873. I don't think Matt Walsh should be in the same room as a teenage girl.
    2
  2874.  @zachman5150  Pregnancy is a potential risk that we mitigate, by using birth control.
    2
  2875. A sad little world.
    2
  2876. Capitalism is inherently exploitative, as people can take surplus value of workers just by owning something. And it's also not something we can keep going in the long term without completely destroying the climate. We're already experiencing the effects of ignoring the climate crisis just so corporations can keep generating profit.
    2
  2877.  @OMGUKILLKENNY2  I legitimately love that you are still using the name and profile pic of the big propaganda robot from Fallout and not seeing the irony
    2
  2878. What a disgusting thing to say. Trans people are part of society just as much as you. Demanding that they "be in their own bubble" is evil.
    2
  2879.  @zachman5150  No really, point to a specific part of the DSM-5.
    2
  2880. Jubilee unfortunately seems to attract a lot of right leaning commenters
    2
  2881. Trans women are women, dipshit.
    2
  2882. You really need to find a better role model.
    2
  2883. I don't. Because fetuses aren't people yet.
    2
  2884.  @barbara3662  What historical proof would that be?
    2
  2885.  @barbara3662  I mean, the bible makes a claim of hundreds of eyewitnesses. A claim that hasn't been backed up by other evidence.
    2
  2886. "Gay people exist" is a fact, not a "controversial ideology".
    2
  2887. For how much time you spend thinking about trans people, it's crazy that you still haven't gotten it through your thick skull that sex and gender aren't the same thing.
    2
  2888. Perfectly sums up the reactionary position. Willful ignorance and emotion over evidence.
    2
  2889.  @norahe1953 Wow, what a noble contribution to society. Blaire White showed us that some trans people are reactionary shitheads too.
    2
  2890.  @bernardknoll-ej5nq  Typical for a Blaire White fan to have no substance to offer, only "ohohoh, are you triggered, libard?" Redditor quips.
    2
  2891. I agree, Christianity sucks
    2
  2892. Christofascist filth.
    2
  2893. There's nothing wise about insisting that your supernatural beliefs are factual.
    2
  2894. And what about fully reversible hormone blockers? They can prevent a lot of pain and suffering down the road.
    2
  2895.  @Karamelaki  Could you elaborate? Are you saying children shouldn't get medical treatments?
    2
  2896.  @Karamelaki  Waiting until after puberty to take hormone blockers is like putting on a life preserver after you drown. The whole point is to delay puberty so that kids who think they may be trans can decide to either transition or not when they're older.
    2
  2897.  @JK_JK_JK  In this context, having a gender identity that is the opposite of male.
    2
  2898.  @JK_JK_JK  Why do you keep liking your own comments?
    2
  2899.  @JK_JK_JK  Just curious, it's a weird thing to do imo. Anyway, it's having a gender identity that's the opposite of female. I feel like you could've figured that one out.
    2
  2900.  @JK_JK_JK  If you're unhappy with the definitions I've provided, that's your problem.
    2
  2901.  @JK_JK_JK  Seriously, why do you keep liking your own comments?
    2
  2902.  @lianagarcia7499  Columbus was a merciless slaver and I'm sad that there's no hell for him to burn in.
    2
  2903. No it's not.
    2
  2904. Millions of years of evolution, not Adam and Eve
    2
  2905.  @albertcastro3500  What's wrong with defending the idea of public ownership of the means of production? You don't think workers should own what they produce? It's pretty rich that you're reprimanding Cille for supposedly not studying history when you clearly have a very inaccurate and shallow understanding of what socialism means.
    2
  2906.  @albertcastro3500  Communism isn't about people making the exact same amount of money.

  2907.  @albertcastro3500  I think you're the one who doesn't know, Al.
    2
  2908.  @albertcastro3500  I mean, wealth would largely be equalized when the means of production are communally owned and people are given wealth based on their needs. But it wouldn't be like "literally every person gets exactly $1500". I'm aware that there's people who, as you say, want more out of life. But isn't that something we should start worrying about once everyone has enough in life?
    2
  2909. Socialism =/= authoritarianism
    2
  2910. What?
    2
  2911. Essentially, lack of demonstrable evidence.
    2
  2912. "hmmm, i see, so when i deliver her sausage pizza and she can't pay for it, that's when i make my move"
    2
  2913. Then I say it's time for capitalism to lose.
    2
  2914. That's not how being trans works.
    2
  2915. Cis isn't a pronoun...
    2
  2916. Why do you think a system where the means of production are communally owned cannot work?
    2
  2917.  @thefrostychemist Jubilee comment sections tend to get flooded with reactionary dipshits, especially when the topic is trans people. It makes sense they'd praise one of their own.
    2
  2918. Is there, though?
    2
  2919. With religion you have people who don't think they're the mightiest being, but believe they're acting on behalf of the mightiest being. We'd do much better as a species if every person learned to think critically and value human health and happiness.
    2
  2920. Wealth isn't created by the wealthy, they just hoard it. For every dollar a CEO earned in profit, there's a dollar a worker earned but didn't get.
    2
  2921. Great, more religious nonsense from Avatar. You think you have all the answers, but you have none.
    2
  2922. No, you do.
    2
  2923.  @kee-kraze  Trans people can choose to either transition or not, but they're still trans either way.
    2
  2924. No more billionaires.
    2
  2925.  @zachman5150  And just like someone in a car accident is entitled to medical treatment, someone who gets pregnant is entitled to do whatever with their body what they want.
    2
  2926.  @zachman5150  The choice to get an abortion or carry a pregnancy to term involves only the pregnant person.
    2
  2927. Nope!
    2
  2928. Keep clutching those pearls
    2
  2929. Unfortunately, conservatism usually goes untreated.
    2
  2930. Another violent transphobe.
    2
  2931. Sleepy Hollow continues to be the very image of irony.
    2
  2932. You keep rambling about people not knowing what words mean, while you keep using your own little definitions.
    2
  2933. Happiness and surprise require a functioning brain, something you no longer have after death occurs.
    2
  2934. False. Science is a method, a tool. The most reliable one we currently have for gaining information about the universe.
    2
  2935. What about cancer? The possibility of cell division going so wrong that it kills an organism seems pretty sloppy. If I were an all-knowing and all-powerful being designing life I would make it so it didn't do that.
    2
  2936. You're reading things into an ancient book of myths.
    2
  2937. What if God is also a human creation?
    2
  2938. And adds the problem of bathrooms becoming way more inaccessible across the board. So every bathroom in every building needs a keymaster present at all times now? That how it's gonna work?
    2
  2939. A conservative would never argue their beliefs poorly, clearly this is a grand conspiracy by the evil leftists, as you can see from their skull shapes
    2
  2940. It's 2021 and republicans are doubling down on their efforts to legislate trans rights out of existence.
    2
  2941.  @toddhitchens6272  Hormone blockers don't "permanently change your genetics" though.
    2
  2942.  @toddhitchens6272  Hormone blockers are deemed safe enough to be used when treating precocious puberty. And being slightly shorter seems like a relatively negligible side effect compared to living with gender dysphoria for the rest of your life. Any medical treatment comes with risks and side effects. But this backlash against puberty blockers is just the latest attempt by conservatives to reel in LGBTQ+ rights.
    2
  2943. You can tell an "unborn baby" (fetus) whatever the hell you want, they don't understand it And yeah, a grown person's life is probably more important than that of a fetus
    2
  2944. She.
    2
  2945. I don't think those beliefs warrant respect.
    2
  2946. Cisgender is the correct term.
    2
  2947. There are.
    2
  2948.  @untilnexttime2923  Please lift the goalposts off the ground when you move them to avoid scrape marks on the floor
    2
  2949. What's your point?
    2
  2950. A majority? Maybe in the US where Christianity is so prevalent. In many places in Europe people simply never become religious in the first place.
    2
  2951. It's so wild to me that there's adults who literally believe in like a real life Team Rocket. This like omnipresent villain who's always up to no good. Every day you're looking around making sure they're not about to steal your Pikachu.
    2
  2952.  @evagraf1983 Anyone taking money from Prager U is not worth listening to.
    2
  2953.  @OMGUKILLKENNY2  "The Royal Family risked everything to build this country, why should you have a say in how it's governed?"
    2
  2954. You sound unhinged.
    2
  2955. Based
    2
  2956. Why?
    2
  2957. If this Jesus guy likes me so much, why can't he come tell me himself? Why is there always this "my friend likes you" high school nonsense involved?
    2
  2958. Atheism doesn't mean moral nihilism, I want as few people to die of this disease as possible.
    2
  2959. Conservatives in a nutshell.
    2
  2960. "They"?
    2
  2961. Jubilee should stay far away from that pathetic grifter
    2
  2962. Some people don't identify strongly as male or female so they prefer a more gender neutral pronoun. "They" as a singular pronoun has been used in the English language for quite some time now for people who are of an unknown gender, lack any gender, or don't identify with a gender. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they
    2
  2963.  IssyFishyy  How does our existence necessitate the existence of a god?
    2
  2964. No, her son told her that and she listened.
    2
  2965.  @hectorportillo2572  And what you meant to write was incorrect. But I get it, you care more about being a reactionary shithead than you do about clear communication or basic human empathy.
    2
  2966. Yeah, conservatism is pretty evil.
    2
  2967. Incorrect. Not only is gender seperate from sex, intersex people exist.
    2
  2968. How sad that you stopped learning after the third grade.
    2
  2969. A semitruck going 80mph vs Matt Walsh
    2
  2970. Sin is meaningless
    2
  2971.  @natecurrier5367  It only has meaning in the context of your particular set of religious beliefs, which not everyone adheres to
    2
  2972. Why wouldn't they just get an abortion in the first or second trimester though?
    2
  2973. Not quite accurate. Some people work multiple jobs to make ends meet. Some people go through a long daily commute because they can't afford to live closer to work. Some people have to take care of a family and a home while others can hire help.
    2
  2974.  @jaystreet4004  Yes, this is how science works. Rejecting new information and understandings in favor of "how we've always done things".
    2
  2975. What evidence is that?
    2
  2976. You're a theist if you believe that a god exists, and you're an atheist if you don't. That's all there's to it. Agnosticism isn't mutually exclusive with theism or atheism, it just means you don't claim to know.
    2
  2977. Based Cindy
    2
  2978. I agree, just like we should all free others from the shackles of religion, we should all strive to show people the truth of capitalism's fatal flaws.
    2
  2979. Lazy and entitled describes people like Trump to a T. And yet he was born in a golden elevator to the top. Capitalism fails those who aren't the 1%. That's you too.
    2
  2980. There's nothing conservatives like more than an indoctrinated child.
    2
  2981. There's a time and a place. Going into a discussion with nothing but a sermon will lose you all credibility you might have. Also, while I can't speak for everyone, but I know I as an unbeliever would not be convinced by mere preaching. If you want to convince us of the truth of your claims, demonstrate them with evidence.
    2
  2982.  @ItsAndy__  That's complete nonsense. We're social animals, meaning our reason to be moral is to get along with fellow members of our species. We are animals, by the way, that's just an objective truth. Mammals, to be precise. Or do you think it's just an odd coincidence that we to share so much DNA with apes?
    2
  2983.  @willnitschke  So capitalists should exist because they contribute something crucial to society, which is that they give back some of the wealth they stole from workers. Please tell me I don't have to point out the obvious here.
    2
  2984.  @yellowtaipan-g3t  This Z P character is also staunchly anti-abortion. Go figure.
    2
  2985.  @alexpearson7693  Per capita seems like the more valuable number when looking at the rates of police killings, considering there's more white people than there are black people.
    2
  2986.  @alexpearson7693  You misunderstand, that wasn't a "pfft, yeah right". You proved my point. There's more white people, so of course more of them would be killed by police. But if you look at the numbers per capita, black people are killed at a far higher rate.
    2
  2987. Trans people are living rent-free in your head.
    2
  2988. Medical experts and organizations disagree with you.
    2
  2989. ​ @zachman5150  I put my trust in the majority of medical organizations who have looked into this. Unlike you, who look for anyone who can support your emotion-based position. Now I again request that you find a hole in the ground to curl up in. All you have to offer the world now is irrational transphobic hate.
    2
  2990. Here's Avatar the Christianity Police again, here to tell everyone what a Real Christian™ is. 🙄
    2
  2991. Race, sexuality, and gender are all things that you don't choose for yourself.
    2
  2992. It sucks that your religion makes you anti-world. I think the world's pretty great.
    2
  2993.  @fancyphantom8103  Obviously I don't love those things. But humanity in general? Nature? The big ball of dirt we're sitting on? I think those things are worth protecting. And yes, the world sucks in many ways, but that doesn't mean we should hate it in favor of some invisible cosmic father figure. It means we need to work to make it suck less.
    2
  2994. Can you demonstrate that mountains, oceans, and mothers necessitate the existence of a god?
    2
  2995.  Raa16  Complexity is not indicative of design.
    2
  2996.  IssyFishyy  Again, complexity is not indicative of design. And just because you think it's "highly unlikely" that life occured naturally (not sure how you calculated that likelihood) doesn't mean the claim of a god is automatically justified.
    2
  2997. Then your god needs his eyes checked.
    2
  2998. Adam and Eve never existed. But even if you believe the myth for whatever reason, wouldn't Eve have Adam's XY chromosomes, being made of one of his bones? Sounds like the world's first trans woman to me.
    2
  2999.  @jaybriggs702  Yeah I can. Hell and Satan don't exist. There's no demonstrable evidence whatsoever.
    2
  3000.  @MiaB907  It's not closed minded. It's about having actually reliable evidence. People's lives have been changed by Islam, Hinduism, Scientology, etc. It doesn't actually say anything about the truth of their religion's claims.
    2
  3001.  @HeatherKayeTamdang-ky6sv  Your religion did not invent the concept of morality.
    2
  3002. These comments are an absolute shitshow
    2
  3003.  @robertjericho6291  So you identify as cisgender but you'd prefer to label it something that implies trans people are "abnormal".
    2
  3004. Why's that?
    2
  3005. You guys sure like to demonize people who try to improve society somewhat, huh?
    2
  3006. That's the thing though. No one works their way to being a billionaire. There is no amount of money that one person can do that would get them a billion dollars. That money can only be hoarded through the labor of others. So a billionaire giving their wealth to the less fortunate isn't just charity. In a very real sense, it's returning what was taken from them.
    2
  3007. He.
    2
  3008. There's nothing scientific about leaping to conclusions about afterlives without sufficient evidence.
    2
  3009. Accepting that historical figures exist based on historical evidence is not quite the same thing as accepting a supernatural entity exists based on a singular source.
    2
  3010. Trans men are men who are trans.
    2
  3011. The current scientific hypothesis is that the world formed through a process called accretion, in which debris forms into a larger mass through gravity over a very long period of time.
    2
  3012. They're trans men.
    2
  3013.  @zachman5150  You particularly are definitely mentally ill though. The way you post the exact same transphobic nonsense every day, that's very unhealthy behavior.
    2
  3014.  @zachman5150  You're like a Catholic peasant from the 16th century who somehow ended up in 2023 and now goes to the planetarium every day to scream about how heliocentrism is a lie. Instead of learning, you latch onto your reactionary ignorance and make it everyone else's problem.
    2
  3015. I never asked for a human sacrifice. And "surrender"? Is he threatening me?
    2
  3016. No, people don't in fact all have the same opportunities.
    2
  3017. He's had it explained to him plenty of times. He just doesn't want to understand it.
    2
  3018. How's that? Because as far as I can tell, Christianity makes truth claims that either can't be supported scientifically, or go directly against what science observes.
    2
  3019. When it feels right AND doesn't hurt anyone.
    2
  3020.  @SWillTiamG  False.
    2
  3021. No.
    2
  3022. I get where you're coming from, but there's plenty of conservatives in Africa too.
    2
  3023. Calling something the truth doesn't make it true. Happy new year.
    2
  3024. For tolerance to be possible, you can't tolerate intolerance, as paradoxical as that might seem.
    2
  3025.  @zachman5150  And yet you keep relying on reactionary arguments instead of what actual scientists are saying. So I ask again, what's at the core of this obsession? What caused you to decide to become a full-time transphobic troll?
    2
  3026. "Hey guys, this boot tastes great!"
    2
  3027. "It might be easier to help someone align their gender with their sex rather than change their sex to align with their gender"? On what do you base that statement? Because transitioning statistically helps against gender dysphoria and conversion therapy absolutely does not.
    2
  3028.  IssyFishyy  It really doesn't.
    2
  3029.  IssyFishyy  Nothing about the world around us necessitates the existence of a god.
    2
  3030.  IssyFishyy  How do you know?
    2
  3031. Can't think of a more asinine and misanthropic reason for the death penalty than "it's cheaper".
    2
  3032. The public school system is very underfunded, and this is on purpose. Republicans attack and sabotage public education as much as they possibly can so that they can replace it entirely with private education, so kids can be indoctrinated for profit without any oversight.
    2
  3033. The Fight Club understander has logged on
    2
  3034. No one's saying you're not a woman. But I don't see the issue with the term cisgender. It literally just means you're not trans.
    2
  3035. There's no one checking genitals at public bathroom doors. Someone with bad intentions doesn't have to claim to identify as anything. They can just walk in. By the way, trans people using the bathroom of their gender isn't a new thing. Before a bunch of these states banned it, it happened all the time. With, surprise surprise, no skyrocketing rape epidemic.
    2
  3036. "Way more rights"?
    2
  3037.  @firstnamelastname4658  Wait, how is she an example of why porn is unhealthy? It feels like you're making weird assumptions here.
    2
  3038.  @firstnamelastname4658  Who's actually harmed by bdsm between fully consenting parties? I don't see the issue.
    2
  3039. b(r)a(inwa)s(h)ed
    2
  3040. Someone's sexuality is part of that person. You hate part of them.
    2
  3041. What you call the "physical world" is known as reality. But I have no reason to believe that anything about this supposed "spiritual world" is actually real.
    2
  3042. I don't see the issue there? Cisgender is an adjective. A cisgender woman is a woman who is cisgender.
    2
  3043. "Unnatural"? It's literally a product of nature. And it's typically included in the acronym because intersex people can come up against stigma and discrimination for not fitting neatly into the "male" or "female" categories. And no, being gay isn't a choice. People don't choose what gender(s) they're attracted to, and that's what defines one's sexuality.
    2
  3044. Necessary? How'd people hunt before the AR-15 then?
    2
  3045. Why?
    2
  3046. But humans created science. It's a method developed by humans.
    2
  3047. You guys always say "your bibles". What makes you assume I own a copy of your particular religion's holy book?
    2
  3048. Sounds like a good way to potentially deny yourself your whole life for no reward at the end.
    2
  3049. Why?
    2
  3050.  @zachman5150  Once again, Zach! I did not ask you! Begone, begone from me!
    2
  3051.  @jenniep.9143  In both cases it's someone using a term to describe you based on your characteristics which they don't possess, isn't it? What's the difference between the two?
    2
  3052.  @zachman5150  Funny coming from you.
    2
  3053. What I can observe is that you're an obsessed elderly freak. You think about trans people more than the average trans person does.
    2
  3054.  @ellesedits9495  Disbelief isn't something that anyone needs to be forgiven for. Being presented a claim and not being convinced isn't some sort of crime or misdeed.
    2
  3055.  @ellesedits9495  I don't believe in souls, and stars and planets are the results of natural phenomena. Also, when exactly is this judgment day supposedly happening?
    2
  3056.  @ellesedits9495  It's easy to read ancient texts with contemporary scientific knowledge and read things into it that aren't there. I never "put it in my mind that there's no god", I simply was never convinced that one exists. Because there's never been demonstrable evidence of one.
    2
  3057.  @ellesedits9495  Why is it so important to believe supernatural claims before they're demonstrated? That is such a huge red flag to me. An all-powerful god should be more than capable of showing me that he exists. But an imaginary one would require my faith.
    2
  3058.  @ellesedits9495  So he only wants the gullible to not burn to death?
    2
  3059.  @ilyas80s65  Maybe if you repeat it enough it'll come true? Is that the idea here?
    2
  3060. Her.
    2
  3061. And with this comment you've shown yourself to be ugly.
    2
  3062.  @zachman5150  Do you legitimately believe that the trans woman in the video is using multiple accounts, some of which made many years ago, to specifically harass you? I think you're projecting, Zach. You believe that everyone is as deranged and obsessed as you are.
    2
  3063.  @zachman5150  Ah, he's repeating himself again. Meds must be wearing off.
    2
  3064.  Emmy  TERFs aren't feminists.
    2
  3065.  Emmy  The people who came up with the name TERF were TERFs. If I were using my own language to describe them, I wouldn't be calling them feminists, but I'd be calling them a lot of other things.
    2
  3066. Nobody's saying you're not a woman, and being cisgender doesn't mean you're not a woman.
    2
  3067.  @ThePicasoBlack  You got an ETA on that god returning thing? Or is it the ol' "veeeery soon!!!" thing that Christians use to try to scare people into believing but never actually happens?
    2
  3068.  @ThePicasoBlack  The thing about knowing when it is is that it would actually make it falsifiable. We'd arrive at the date and it would either happen or not. But people can keep saying "soon" until the end of time.
    2
  3069. "Love me or go to hell" is still horrible. Especially if I'm meant to love someone who I have no good reason to believe exists.
    2
  3070.  IssyFishyy  Lack of demonstrable evidence.
    2
  3071.  IssyFishyy  You can have faith in literally anything, from the ancient Greek pantheon to Bigfoot to Santa Claus. It's not a reliable method for arriving at beliefs that correlate with reality. Demonstrable evidence first, then we'll see about belief.
    2
  3072. Trans people don't just "become trans" when they turn 18.
    2
  3073. There's a lot wrong with the porn industry but porn and human rights aren't inherently opposed the way loving and poaching animals are. There's nothing inherently exploitative or harmful about two people deciding to record themselves having sex.
    2
  3074.  @siddharth.narayan  Sure, why wouldn't it be?
    2
  3075. But why would you?
    2
  3076. Conservative reactionaries made this an issue.
    2
  3077. What convinced you that a god exists?
    2
  3078. Trans women are women who are trans.
    2
  3079. Jehovahs, Muslims, and Mormons would call your religion a false one too. From my perspective, I've never seen a "true religion" to compare a "false" one to.
    2
  3080. And apparently, he'll stop loving gay people if they don't force themselves to live a life of celibacy, ignoring the sexuality they were born with and condemning themselves to a life devoid of romantic love or sex. How loving!
    2
  3081. Good boy! Good boy!
    2
  3082. It's changed plenty over the years. Christianity in its many flavors is an offshoot of Judaism, which itself is an offshoot off Ancient Canaanite polytheism. To look at Christianity as this eternal unchanging thing is simply wrong.
    2
  3083. Being rude to conservatives is necessary
    2
  3084.  @Lx-qc1uo  Staying abstinent because you're gay isn't "bettering yourself".
    2
  3085. Source?
    2
  3086. Of course it is.
    2
  3087.  @Yugen777  Eternal tyranny doesn't sound very appealing.
    2
  3088. Morality comes from an agreement that life is generally preferable to non-life, and happiness is generally preferable to pain. And then understanding how certain actions impact each other in these respects. That's what morality is. I'd argue that religious people are the ones with no justification for their morality. After all, they're only following the commandments of someone higher up on the ladder. Someone who, according to their book, has committed genocide, no less. Atheism's not a worldview, by the way. It's just the lack of theistic belief.
    2
  3089.  @javyroo9405  Humans made marriage and defined it in a multitude of different ways throughout history. Hating gay marriage is inherently irrational and bigoted.
    2
  3090.  @javyroo9405  I mean it falls in line with all the other bigotry and irrationality that was the norm in the bronze age, but it's still bigoted and irrational.
    2
  3091.  @Tanya-ij9yt  It's immoral to use vast amounts of wealth for personal vanity or to just accumulate even more wealth when people's needs are going unmet. Especially when poverty plays a role in concentrating that much wealth in the hands of the few. And what I think David meant there is that he's not seeing billionaires taking care of society. When billionaires donate it can of course be something very constructive and helpful. But it can also be a means to pay fewer taxes. Or in worst cases, they can donate their money to think tanks and media corporations that push a more right-wing and capitalistic worldview in order to shape a society in which they can continue to hoard wealth.
    2
  3092. Capitalism would have never existed without feudalism
    2
  3093. No, he has a pretty tight mentality.
    2
  3094. It does a piss poor job of telling us that the earth is round then, as ancient peoples believed that the earth was flat for centuries. The bible even describes the sky as a glass dome with water above it.

  3095. Is this supposed to mean something to us atheists?
    2
  3096. What if a different god exists who punishes idolatry more severely than mere nonbelief? And how do you believe something "just in case" in the first place?
    2
  3097.  @amanimohamed8309  The harm is that you might waste the only life you have following arbitrary rules.

  3099.  @ILikeYourMoxxie  I'm so sorry you have to deal with all of that. Wishing you all the best and hoping things get better for you.
    2
  3100. You can just say she.
    2
  3101. Why?
    2
  3102. Because trans men aren't being targeted by this reactionary moral panic nearly as much as trans women are. But trans men generally do want to use the men's room.
    2
  3103. Don't know why Youtube sees it fit to keep deleting my replies. Anyway, being gay is fine because it doesn't harm anyone. If you want to say it's "not okay", demonstrate that it harms others.
    2
  3104. She.
    2
  3105. No, underdeveloped humans that don't yet qualify as "people" don't have rights that supercede those of the owner of the womb they're inhabiting.
    2
  3106. Imagine forcing a woman to complete a pregnancy and give birth because you've prematurely assigned personhood to an incomplete human body.
    2
  3107. Don't bother apologizing to Cerastes.
    2
  3108. Cerastes, don't accuse others of intellectual dishonesty when you're the one who sealions LGBTQ+ Christians with copied and pasted arguments, and refuses to back up any of their claims with any sort of reputable scientific source.
    2
  3109. mInDsEt
    2
  3110. Accepting claims for which there is no evidence is completely unscientific though.

  3116. @Hong Kong You're being deliberately obtuse. Why are you such a grimy little troll?
    2
  3117. Do you people seriously think that capitalism is just "getting paid for work"?
    2
  3118. Homosexuality is not wrong. It hurts no one. And gay people can't just decide to be straight one day.
    2
  3119.  @steveford8999  What do you think a reactionary is?
    2
  3120. But they didn't get to that position through science.
    2
  3121. Faith is unreliable, because you can have faith in literally anything. So if faith is crucial, you have a real problem.
    2
  3122. Cis women aren't some separate category from women. A cis woman is a woman who is cis just as a trans woman is a woman who is trans.
    2
  3123. Plain, simple, and wrong.

  3126.  @zachman5150  I didn't ask you. Stop answering questions that aren't for you, weirdo.
    2
  3127. Teen pregnancy rates drop when they get decent sex education. But not when they're told to just be abstinent.
    2
  3128. How's that?
    2
  3129.  @zachman5150  I already responded to this argument, but I guess you'd rather just copy and paste it again instead of addressing my response. You sure do love copying and pasting stuff.

  3134. Brian, make sure you actually know what pansexuality is before you comment.
    2
  3135. I don't think trans people have an issue with being called trans though.
    2
  3136. They go to the men's room. Easy.

  3138.  @louifortini4725  Wait, which troops are those? There haven't been any wars on US soil except the revolutionary and civil wars, so what soldiers are defending LGBTQ+ rights for Americans?
    2
  3139.  @louifortini4725  I'm not American, but if I were, how would US army soldiers be fighting for my freedom?
    2
  3140. Your ignorance is not only unjustifiable, it's also dangerous. Look outside of your bubble.
    2
  3141. What's abusive is forcing a trans child to go through a puberty that will cause them a huge amount of gender dysphoria.
    2
  3142. It'd be far more annoying to listen to.
    2
  3143. A cis woman is a woman who is cis. Did you all forget what adjectives are?
    2
  3144.  @thenman23  A woman can be both trans and short, it's true.
    2
  3145. Why wouldn't it be?
    2
  3146. Private ownership of the means of production invariably leads to greed. We've done away with monarchy, now why not bring democracy to businesses?
    2
  3147. There's no hyphen, it's not "trans-women". It's trans women. As in, women who are trans.
    2
  3148. What do you have against the sun?
    2
  3149. Okay Brian.
    2
  3150. "We have to look after ourselves, by taking resources from and radically influencing and even overthrowing the governments of other countries!"
    2
  3151. You can't seriously think those things are happening more than in the past. Do you legitimately think the past didn't have a huge amount war? Seismic activity? Sickness? Does the black plague ring a bell? You're looking at the world through the tinted glasses of your beliefs.
    2
  3152.  @zachman5150  Take your own advice.
    2
  3153. Nah, it's just her audience flooding the comments.
    2
  3154. But that definition of science contains the very unscientific assumption that the universe is a "god's creation".

  3155. "my book says ur dumb"

  3159. Definitely the Biden side.

  3160. She was literally just regurgitating conservative religious talking points
    2
  3161. Get a load of this guy, diagnosing people in youtube videos with demons
    2
  3162.  @lorenzoperez552  That's incorrect though. People can identify as nonbinary, as something besides just man or woman. And even if you consider biological sex to be the same as gender, there's still not just two. Many people exist who don't fit neatly into the "male" or "female" category. There's people with a different chromosomal makeup than just XX or XY, people with both sets of genitalia, or people with secondary sex characteristics that don't match their reproductive organs. To say "there's only two genders" is reductive to the point of blatant falsehood. Nonbinary individuals are only a subset of trans people though. Most of them simply identify as the gender opposite the one they were assigned at birth.
    2
  3163.  @lorenzoperez552  Again, that's reductive to the point that it's simply false. Sex is more complicated than that.
    2
  3164.  @lorenzoperez552  I mean, no one's forcing you to accept anything. But like they say, facts don't care about your feelings.
    2
  3165. No, capitalism is why there are still a lot of poor people.
    2
  3166. Rich people don't get there themselves. That's the whole point.
    2
  3167. A fetus is a human in early development. It's not yet a person, it does not yet think and feel. But, if carried to term and given birth, it likely will. Substance abuse while pregnant will have negative consequences to the person who ends up growing from the fetus. That's why it's appaling. However, in the case of abortion, the fetus will have been terminated before it could grow into a person. And as such, there is far less suffering as a result compared to the first example.
    2
  3168.  @IssyFishyy  I thought you were gonna show me demonstrable evidence for a god. This is just an argument from ignorance fallacy. You can't imagine matter existing without a god, so you think a god did it.
    2
  3169. My parents created me. When I die, I go to the graveyard.
    2
  3170. It's not "transwomen", it's trans women. As in, women who are trans.
    2
  3171. James, nothing bad happened to me to "make me flip the switch". I was never a believer. My switch was never flipped.
    2
  3172. Why?
    2
  3173. I'm not a liberal but a leftist, but here's my view on it. It's not as heinous as sexual assault considering both parties that are hooking up consent, but it's still a violation of trust between the people who are in a relationship. Shouldn't be a crime but it's very shitty.
    2
  3174. Spitting facts? She's literally insane
    2
  3175. Honest question, what do you mean when you say you "don't agree with the LGBT+"? What is it specifically that you don't agree with? I'm asking this to Hopie Dopie specifically btw, others needn't reply.
    2
  3176. Cis is an adjective that basically just serves as an antonym to trans.
    2
  3177.  @Cars2155  No, there aren't.
    2
  3178. In the phrase "cis woman", cis is short for cisgender, and used as an adjective. A cis woman is a woman who is cis.
    2
  3179. Opposing Trump more than you support Biden doesn't mean "TDS". It means they recognize that in this very flawed two-party system you can't always have the candidate you truly want, and sometimes you need to vote for the lesser of two evils.
    2
  3180.  @mattfx324  What's there to "not approve of" or "not accept" about being gay?
    2
  3181. Cerastes, are you the Christianity police or something? Stop pretending your way is the only way to follow a religion. And for the love of your god, stop liking your own comments already!
    2
  3182. Because the GOP is behind this reactionary transphobic moral panic in the first place.
    2
  3183. We already know conservatives make for shitty parents.
    2
  3184. Transgender is an adjective. Trans women are women who are trans. No change in definition.
    2
  3185. Dude, don't bother apologizing to Avatar. He bothers everyone with his homophobic bible thumping. You are not in the wrong.

    1
  3191. Christianity is a religion you dink.
    1
  3192.  @kateanderson275  It's not a prefix though, it's an adjective in this context, short for cisgender. So it's not "cis-woman", it's cis woman. As in a woman who is cis. Just as you'd call someone a nice woman, or a tall woman, etc.
    1
  3193.  @kateanderson275  So did you just decide to not read my comment? I addressed all this.

  3224.  @bige1656  I mean, they've colloquially come to mean the same thing to a lot of Americans because the Overton Window is so far to the right over there. On the political spectrum, liberals are center right and conservatives are far right.

  3229. "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." If I have to explain to you why that's racist, you're beyond help. And let's not forget that Mike Pence once supported the usage of federal funding for "gay conversion therapy".

  3238. Gigantic global corporations like Burger King don't swell to the size they do because they pay their workers a fair wage. It doesn't matter if a job is "simple". Working a job should allow you to survive. To hold a roof over your head. The cost of housing has risen considerably while minimum wage has stayed the same. Defending a system that prioritizes the ability of a tiny minority to grow incredibly wealthy while failing to address the needs of the many is disgusting to me.

  3249. @ Science is an evidence and experimentation-based method of learning about the world. It doesn't meet the definition of a religion. Also, hope the past four years have treated you well.
    1
  3250. Are you saying adopting a basic subsistence lifestyle and investing in speculative digital currencies is some sort of universal cure for poverty? When you make money by investing into something like that, someone else is always left holding the bag. You were lucky enough to come away with more than you put in. But this will never be a solution for everyone, just for a lucky few, by how it inherently works. Not to mention that you can't expect people to just forego all luxuries just to try and escape poverty, people will always want nice things to make them feel better for a little bit. Depriving yourself of that completely is bad for your mental health. When not being poor requires that you jump through a bunch of ridiculous hoops, telling everyone how you jumped through the hoops can only do so much. What'll really help is when we all take down the hoops.
    1
  3251.  @Bookiemouncher  You can't justify living in misery just because some people are living in more misery. Escaping poverty shouldn't require living a pleasureless life so you can gamble what you do have. People shouldn't be in poverty for simply existing.

    1
  3304.  @OMGUKILLKENNY2  It worked for some. Working class people are certainly better off than peasants were, but we can do a lot better.

If there's no scientific explanation for something, we can't just assume it's because of a god, or because our "soul" decided to take a walk. That would need to be demonstrated. If it's true, then surely someone researching this could publish a peer-reviewed article in a scientific journal rather than making a 90s-looking website dedicated to their arguments.

  3537. There's the genesis account that goes counter to what we know about the origins of the human species, the Noah story that objectively did not happen as the world has never been fully submerged in water (not would the ark as described be physically possible, and apart from that just claim upon claim upon claim of supernatural things that have not met their burden of proof. We know that people do not come back to life after three days, and that people don't walk on water.And no one has ever demonstrated observable evidence of a god. It's strange that such a powerful being would be completely invisible and undetectable. The world that Christians claim was created and designed by a god is indistinguishable from one where he never existed.

  3544. Look, if your religious beliefs tell you that homosexual relationships are sinful, you are free to abstain from romantic relationships with other women.

King’s words in a letter to Coretta Scott in 1952: “I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic,” he wrote, adding that capitalism had “out-lived its usefulness” because it had “brought about a system that takes necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.”

  3551. The US education system isn't bad because kids are taught that LGBTQ+ people exist, that's far from a US-exclusive thing. The US education system is bad because it's underfunded at every turn by conservatives who want to get rid of public education altogether so they can replace it with profitable and conservative-leaning private education. It's also the reason why conservatives have launched this moral panic about LGBTQ+ teachers and whatnot.

  3563.  @sirgraham7004  But there's men who are biologically female. So that definition seems either very reductive and simplified or simply not up to date with our contemporary understanding of sex and gender.

    1
  3569.  @adityachoudhury6436  Do you truly think that having more wealth means they worked harder? Do you think Bezos puts in more effort in a day's work than his average Amazon warehouse employee? To the point where he should be the wealthiest man in the world? And furthermore, do you think Bezos needs 182 billion dollars? What does he need it for that he couldn't buy with one billion, which is already a gargantuan amount of money?
    1
  3570.  @adityachoudhury6436  Doesn't it make more sense though for those with more to pay more in taxes? If everyone pays the same, poor people will struggle while for the rich it's barely anything. Doesn't seem very fair. Besides, I don't think you can hoard that much wealth without doing some stealing, although we don't exactly call it that.

    1
  3593.  @Islander05  This is what capitalist realism does to your brain. You start thinking like the only reason to ever do anything is to amass wealth. A grocery store exists so that people can buy food to eat. In a society where grocery stores don't serve the purpose of making a CEO very rich, they would still serve that purpose, because people would still need food.

Any number of aspects or events surrounding this Jesus figure could be fictional, and there's no way to investigate them.

After all, losing just a material item that gives you some pleasure is surely worth saving your life!

  3689.  @smeargleos4594  Oh, now it's about evidence? I thought your whole argument was about believing just in case. You say the "existence of a god" is consistent in human civilizations, what I think you mean is the belief in said gods. Their existence has not been demonstrated.
    1
  3690.  @smeargleos4594  Scientists "choose to believe" in the big bang (which you seem to not quite inderstand given your explanation) because that's where the available evidence has led them. There is no such evidence for theism. When you say planets are "perfectly aligned" and life "reacts perfectly", what do you mean exactly?

  3721. There's nothing 'spiritual' about morality. It's a simple question of what benefits life and well-being. If you think about your actions and how they affect other people's well-being, you're using morality. As humans we're a social species, so this way of thinking is beneficial for us as we accomplish more when we work together. God, in my opinion, is not a source for morality at all. After all, aren't the commandments just the personal likes and dislikes of one particular being?

  3745.  @mockingbird_redacted  Me personally? I don't live in the US, and I don't make all that much.

Which I would obviously contribute to with my income tax.

    1
  3768.  @Nanofuture87  If you quit then you now have no income. Which you require to live. Your hyper-individualism ignores economic realities. People who have shitty low-paying jobs don't have them because they never considered finding other employment or because they love having a shitty low-paying job. They have them because that job is better than no job.

  3771. I understand how intense and real it must have felt but again, how do you know it's from a supernatural source just from that? To me (and I mean no offense by this) it seems more like a case of mass hysteria akin to the Dancing Plague of 1518. There's a history of groups of people behaving erratically and experiencing extremely intense emotions in certain situations. I'm not claiming to know for sure that an experience as you described it is a case of mass hysteria, but that explanation seems to require fewer assumptions than a supernatural one.

As long as both parties consent, there's no problem. And if you arbitrarily give gay marriages a different name that's a clear cut case of discrimination. Imagine if you had a different term for marriages between black people.

    1
  3843.  @tylerk.6751  It still tends to be used that way colloquially, sure. Doesn't make it scientifically accurate, though. Also can't help but notice that you didn't copy and paste the entire definition. Here, allow me: either of the two sexes (male and female), especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones. The term is also used more broadly to denote a range of identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female.

  3861. @TRXSH • The key word is "demonstrable". It's natural to be afraid of threatening things, but for something to warrant fear it also needs to be credible. To go back to the wild bear example, it's probably a good idea to be afraid of a wild bear when it's standing in front of you in a forest roaring at you. But when you're sitting at home in a place that isn't their habitat, it's not really something you need to worry about. Until you start seeing bear tracks in your backyard, that is.

  3920. What about the price of forcing a transgender teen to go through a puberty that will cause them a huge amount of gender dysphoria.

  3921.  @emz1412  Nor is there anything a trans person can do to revert the changes of that original puberty that you want to force them to go through.

  3939.  @Spitts  It's not about blaming present day white people for racists in the past, it's about recognizing that systemic issues still exist as a result of these atrocities.

    1
  3947.  @ellaa7985  Pornography is not inherently exploitative. All parties can consent in the production of porn, and in the case of human traffickers that's obviously not the case. This is like saying I can't be pro-weed while being anti-drug cartels. They're not inextricably linked, it's a matter of changing legislation around it and protecting people from those who would take advantage.

  3956.  @MikeGemi  Billionaires didn't work for their billions, other people did.
    1
  3957.  @MikeGemi  There is no job in existence that pays enough to make you a millionaire, that kind of wealth can only be hoarded through the labor of others. Innovation can be very profitable, sure, but billionaires do not innovate alone, if they even innovate at all. All they need to do is own the company that the innovators work for.
    1
  3958.  @MikeGemi  My mistake, I meant to say billionaire. And yes, people working under them are being paid, but less than their labor is worth. That's the point. The billionaires are taking that for themselves.

  3959.  @Shaggy_Norville_Rogers  If you think people are waiting for months to get an abortion simply because they're "lazy" you are genuinely just an insane person.

  3976.  @ThatAverageMTBer  I agree, poor people shouldn't exist, we should give them money so they're not poor anymore.
    1
  3977.  @ThatAverageMTBer  Prove it. Prove that that happens. Because what we see over and over is that poverty is demotivating and paralyzing. And that once people are out of that poverty, they don't just stop doing things with their lives, they start properly living happy lives where they're doing what they want to be doing instead of just trying to keep their heads above water.

    1
  3998. The Christian deity seems to get pretty upset about people worshipping false gods. You can believe they're all the same one if you want, but what if you're wrong? Would you risk spending an eternity in the Underworld with Hades?

  3999. Conservatives have no logic. No facts, either.

  4000.  @andyscott15  I won't touch on the abortion subject as I realize religious people will usually tend to be pro-life because of their belief in a soul. But why are you implying it's bad to be able to freely identify however you want? Or marry the person you love? These seem to be social changes that are vastly increasing the freedom and happiness of marginalized groups of people while causing little to no harm in the process.

  4034. So cisgender women without wombs aren't women?

  4035.  @iamthatiam4496  Yes, women with XX chromosomes who were born without a womb exist. And there's plenty of others who have had theirs removed.
    1
  4036.  @iamthatiam4496  So which is it? XX chromosomes or womb? Because there's cis women without wombs and there's cis women without XX chromosomes.

  4041. If you want fairness in women's sports, it seems to me the logical position would be to support puberty blockers so that trans kids don't go through the wrong puberty and obtain this dreaded biological advantage. Prepubescent boys and girls are basically the same on an athletic level. Banning all trans people from sports or forcing trans women to compete against cis men is a huge overreaction and a harmful solution. You could simply require a certain amount of time on hormone therapy to negate the majority of athletic advantage that testosterone gives someone. Honestly, the entire reason this is an "issue" is because the right has made it one. Where were the people complaining about this before 2020? Far right conservatives pick the topic based on what group they'd like to attack next. First it was public bathrooms, now it's sports.
    1
  4042.  @nikkimango2649  Puberty blockers aren't permanent at all tough. That's the entire point. Kids who think they may be trans can take them (after extensive consultation with a psychiatrist) to delay puberty so they can make a decision about whether or not to transition later, once their brains have developed more. Once someone stops taking puberty blockers, puberty kicks in.
    1
  4043. And so are trans women. Hence the cis and trans adjectives two tell these two groups of real women apart.

  4046. Who cares if students leave college with crippling debt that will follow them for most of their adult lives? As long as nobody takes the wealthy's money! Heck, maybe one of 'em will feel kind enough to pay a random class's debt! Actually, why are firefighters required to just hand out their water to anyone with a burning home? It's their water! Let them decide who to donate it to!
    1
  4047. Guess what? Conservative parents have trans kids too. But they tend to hide it from their parents for their own safety.
    1
  4048. This whole idea that Christianity is somehow "special" and "not a religion" is so bizarre to me. Like, no, it's a religion. It might feel like some kind of transcendent spiritual connection because it's your religion, but it's still a religion.

    1
  4074.  @КартоховыйРыцарь  There's a constantly growing divide between the majority of people and the 1%. Billionaires grow richer and richer every year while families struggle to pay for the basics. And corporations continue to do too little to reduce pollution because as a corporation, their number one motive will always be profit.

  4092. The social concepts of "men" and "women" aren't dependent on their deoxyribonucleic though. Whether you refer to someone as "sir" or "ma'am" tends to rely on how they present themselves. You're not giving them a DNA test when you're just interacting with another person.

    1
  4106.  @allofchristforalloflife8437  You're right! However, as professional biologists are experts in the field and all of them apart from a very small minority support the scientific theory of evolution, I feel like we can trust their expert opinion. Especially considering that for evolution to become a scientific theory in the first place, demonstrable evidence is necessary. Otherwise it would still be a hypothesis. If at this point a scientist presented new evidence that disproved evolution it would turn the entire field of biology on its head and probably earn them a nobel prize.

  4107.  @allofchristforalloflife8437  Because, again, we're a social species. And as such we've developed social rules that help us get along better with each other. You seem to have this idea that morality only works if it's some sort of ultimate morality. I don't see what that has to do with the original argument though.
    1
  4108.  @allofchristforalloflife8437  Until this god has been demonstrated to exist, I couldn't care less about what people claim he demands from humans. From my perspective as an atheist, Judeo-Christian values are as much a product of evolution as anything else, considering we as humans came up with these traditional morals. I simply don't think they're good ones. Perhaps they worked for an ancient society where personal freedom was seen as less important than other things. Especially if you weren't a man, and double especially if you were anything but cisgender and heterosexual.

  4109.  @allofchristforalloflife8437  This discussion is moving all over the place. You seem to find it difficult to stick to one subject. Anyway, I'll indulge you again. By "good" I meant "effective at promoting human happiness and preventing suffering". I don't know what gives you the idea that I use Dawkins as an authority on these things. As for the world being "made by random chance", that seems like a bit of a strawman. All evidence points to the earth being formed by the natural process of accretion. Not something guided by a sentient being, sure, but not what I'd call "random chance". When a drop of rain falls from a cloud to the ground, no one is moving that drop. But it's not moving by random chance either. It's simply the natural process of gravity at work.

  4114. You come home one day to find a dead body in your living room and a gun on the ground. Stunned and not thinking straight, you pick up the gun. Based on your lack of an alibi and your fingerprints on the gun, you're convicted of murder and sentenced to death. Six years later, new evidence is discovered showing definitively that someone else committed the murder. You are already dead.

  4115. No matter how unlikely the scenario seems, people do get falsely convicted and falsely executed.

  4116. Imagine being so politically illiterate that you think all these giant tech corporations are leftist. Do you even know what leftism is?
    1
  4117.  @therainbowconnection6813  Congratulations on knowing the origins of these terms. Now realize that that doesn't define them until the end of time. Leftism is generally defined by egalitarianism, which tends to manifest contemporarily as opposition to capitalism. And a giant provately owned corporation by definition can't be against capitalism, it's paradoxical.
    1
  4118.  @therainbowconnection6813  Terms changing doesn't mean that terms are meaningless and anyone can just claim them. You claiming that these corporations are "leftist" doesn't make them leftist.
    1
  4119.  @therainbowconnection6813  But they're not. They're not on the side of leftists. Because, again, they're giant corporations. Them supporting fairly mild socially progressive views is done purely because most people support those and they don't want to alienate their audience.
    1
  4120.  @therainbowconnection6813  Capitalist corporations support progressive issues superficially because they want to earn more money, not because they want to create a more egalitarian society. Why do you think they adopt a rainbow logo for a month and then do literally nothing else beyond some LGBTQ+ representation in an ad here and there? And hell, that "backlash" tends to mean they're talked about a huge amount for weeks to come, if anything it's a boatload of free publicity if you've pissed off the reactionaries.

  4143. You can think they "shouldn't exist", but that isn't going to make them not exist. If a child never learns what a trans person is, and they have those feelings, they're still going to have them but now not have any way to communicate them. Think about it this way. You can make it illegal to diagnose minors with autism but that's not going to make minors with autism go away. It's just going to make them invisible. And miserable, as they won't be able to get the help that they need. By the way, no 7 year old makes life changing decisions. At the most they'd get fully reversible puberty blockers, and for a 7 year old that would only be if they're starting their puberty very early.
    1
  4144.  @roronoavinsmoke8725  If you wait until you're 18 before doing anything at all, the child in question will go through the puberty of their assigned birth gender, which can make it much, much harder for them to transition later. That's why, again, we use fully reversible puberty blockers. So that they can medically transition at a later age.

The bridge is poorly maintained, and 95% of the people who attempt to cross it end up falling off. The 5% at the other side of the bridge would have you believe that the bridge is perfectly safe. After all, they crossed it. But rather than trying to find out whether that 5% is special or whether they're just lucky, why not invest some time and effort into improving the bridge?

  4209. The majority of people living comfortably would be potentially possible, but not under the current system. The majority becoming wealthy like the top 5% is impossible, period.

  4218. They need this belief in a justified hierarchy because they need to believe there's a reason they're better off than others. The truth is that we as a species are better off when we're guaranteed education, healthcare, food, etc. But conservatism has always taken feelings over facts.

  4311. Most people don't necessarily want to be rich. People just want to be financially secure. To be able to live without being afraid that something will change in their financial situation to mess their entire life up. Without having to sacrifice a relationship with your family or your mental health just to be able to have food and a roof over your head.

  4314.  @ryanthomas9306  This has been debunked many many times. The study looks at people diagnosed with "gender identity disorder", which is no longer used and the standards for which are drastically different from a gender dysphoria diagnosis. Basically, your "desisters" include many people who were never trans in the first place. Why do you obsessively lie about trans people day after day?
    1
  4315. How do you know this deity "spoke through Paul"? How did that work? Did he mind control the guy? Have we scientifically identified the mechanisms through which this deity compels people to write stuff for him? Why does an all-powerful god need humans to write stuff down for him in the first place?

  4319. "Read with an open mind" seems to imply that people who aren't convinced are "closed-minded". My mind is open to being convinced, just not extra open. Just like any other claim, there needs to be demonstrable evidence. Also, since I feel like you're hinting at this topic, there's nothing wrong whatsoever with being LGBTQ+.

  4333.  @travisjohnson7065  There's no good argument for why those consequences need to be lethal though and unless you can somehow find a way to prevent false convictions 100% of the time, killing the innocent will be inevitable when you have the death penalty.

  4336. It's not interesting at all though. Cis literally just means you're not trans. The cis women in the video agree that they're cisgender, they just hate that label because accepting it would mean sharing the label of "women" with trans women. It's not about their own identity at all, it's about being transphobic.
    1
  4337.  @tinapayne4075  It's not a slur. It's just what we use to differentiate trans people and people who aren't trans. I've yet to hear a useful alternative that isn't transphobic like "real woman" (trans women are real women) or nonsensical like "biological woman" (there are no synthetic women, and womanhood is not tied to biology).

    1
  4348. I'm not one to say that acting on emotion is preferable to acting rationally but this kind of attitude acts like we as humans don't have emotions, or that we shouldn't have them. Just like you shouldn't jump into a marriage with the first person you have feelings for, you also shouldn't disregard love and just have a relationship with someone who checks the most boxes on your ideal partner checklist. A balance should be struck. There's a reason that even the Vulcans who hold logic and reason above all else must periodically let their emotions flow freely.

  4350. Executing people costs plenty in taxpayer money too. And do you really think the government should be able to execute people for financial reasons?
    1
  4351. Spending less on prisoners could be done by preventing criminal behavior, which is influenced by a multitude of issues. We can't just murder people because the money could be spent elsewhere. After executing inmates to save money, what's next? Killing the poor?
    1
  4352. In the case of sports it's a bit more complicated considering puberty does give a certain advantage (which can be largely nullified through hormone therapy or even prevented through hormone blockers), but why does biological sex matter for bathrooms? They're split between men and women, not penises and vaginas. What other people have in their pants isn't any of my business when I'm just taking a piss. It would be far stranger to force bearded trans men to use the women's restroom.
    1
  4353.  @jaydenbecker9740  Who the fuck is going to transition just to harass someone in a bathroom though? You know there's no one checking people's gender at the door, right? If a man wants to be in the women's room, he can just go in. This is a complete non-issue.

  4364. There's no serious threat, though. The "bathroom issue" is entirely made up. "Think about the children" was used to justify homophobia in the past and now it's used to justify transphobia.
    1
  4365.  @wonkjc4211  Oh, I definitely believe that many transphobes genuinely want their kids to be safe from the perceived threat of trans people. But that perceived threat is false. It has been deliberately created by reactionaries who want to stop social progress and return to a world where LGBTQ+ individuals are forced to stay in the closet.

    1
  4373.  @Nanofuture87  I don't see what the problem is with robbing people at gunpoint. People are voluntarily giving all the money they have on them to the robber! Tell me, what happens to someone who doesn't "voluntarily agree to sell their labor"? How do they feed their family and pay their rent?
    1
  4374.  @Nanofuture87  Right, but that doesn't have to include a situation where the work that's available to you is at a privately owned business where instead of being paid the full value of your labor, part of it is taken by the owner of said private business as profit. That's what capitalism is.

  4433. That is how it tends to work in practice, yes. The concepts of "white" and "black" are largely socially constructed and especially the concept of "whiteness" tends to be exclusionary in nature. Just look at Barack Obama for example. Black father and white mother. But he doesn't look like a white person, so people just say he's black, even though he's both.

  4504. Being gay harms literally no one. To say it's "not okay" is irrational.

  4505. Worthless statistic from a flawed study that conflates gender identity disorder with gender dysphoria, two different diagnoses with different requirements. Deliberate lie, or ignorance?

  4515.  @vasudhabhandari8431  Whatever answer I give to that is gonna be based on emotion. I think policy on how we treat criminals should be based on facts, not feelings.

  4534. 1. I didn't even mention sexual intercourse. But straight people are just as capable of getting any of the conditions you mentioned. Next! 2. I don't care about homophobes getting upset. Next! 3. Generic gay panic nonsense. Next! Oh, you ran out of points. Wasn't much there, huh? It's almost like this is mostly about your irrational aversion to gay people. I wonder if there's a word for that...

  4547.  @SaucyGarage  You legitimately believe that he works, and let me emphasize this, TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND TIMES AS HARD AS A TEACHER? Not twice as hard, not ten times as hard, TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND TIMES? You must have some incredibly strong faith in the idea of the meritocracy, even in the fact of contradictory evidence.

  4550. Why?

  4566.  @OMGUKILLKENNY2  "Disorder" is a subjective label we put on something. Humans generally have two legs but not always.

  4567. "Normally developed" is an interesting addition. Is your implication that cis women who don't develop normally aren't women?
    1
  4568.  @angelkhubukeli4814  But if periods are essential to womanhood to then doesn't that mean that people who don't get periods aren't women by that definition? Which would include some cis women?

  4598. People committing crime again after getting out of prison shows how much the penal system is flawed. Because rather than rehabilitating inmates and preparing them for a proper life outside, they spend months or years in close proximity to other hardened criminals and are then spat out with nothing. Only logical that they'd turn back to what they know out of desperation.

  4600. If someone tells you their name, you call them by that name, right? Even if it's a weird name? I don't see how using someone's preferred pronouns is any different. And when you're in the changing room, do you ask to see everyone's genitals to make sure they're a biological man? Maybe ask them about their chromosomes?

    1
  4632.  @offensive8463  I don't see a reason to believe that "someone created us" is an option, considering everything we know about intelligent minds implies that a physical brain is required for a mind to exist. Also, I don't see a reason to believe there can't be any other possibilities. Really though, I have no idea what began the universe, and I don't really care very much. It's better to not have an answer than to accept one that's lacking in demonstrable evidence.

    1
  4643. Why would they do that? I'm an atheist and I don't really care if a religious person is inconsistent about their religion, what's more important to me is if their ideas are harmful. A progressive Christian is much better than a conservative zealot who clings to every word of an ancient book.
    1
  4644.  @iffymarashi7700  It sounds like mythology to me, no different than the stories of the Ancient Greeks for example. People who want to claim otherwise should have considerable evidence if they want to convince anyone, Which, surely an omnipotent deity would be able to produce for them effortlessly.
    1
  4645.  @iffymarashi7700  Even if, for the sake of argument, you accept all of these claims, how exactly does that lead to "Jesus literally came back to life and is the physical embodiment of a deity who literally created the universe"? All you would prove is that there's people claiming things and that there's an empty cave. The argument isn't valid.

  4649. In an ideal world, the color of your skin wouldn't influence your political view.

And your last sentence shows how brainwashed you've been to believe that our current capitalist system is just. Maybe worry about whether the people who hoard billions upon billions of dollars deserve to own that much wealth while others are homeless. But let me guess, those homeless people should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and eat less avocado toast or something.

  4666. The Prager U propagandist?

  4667. You're completely wrong about it being taught behavior. Consider the case of David Reimer. As a baby his circumcision went wrong and he lost his genitalia. The parents took him to a psychologist as a toddler because they were worried about how he would grow up without a penis. The psychologist, John Money, was a strong believer in the concept that gender was something learned and not innate, so he suggested David be raised as a girl. However, David ended up suffering gender dysphoria from this during his childhood, to the point of suicidal depression. He transitioned back to male in his adulthood but ended up committing suicide. You can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Reimer So you see, a parent can't just raise a boy as a girl or a girl as a boy to "create" a trans person. That idea is completely divorced from reality. If someone is trans, that is how they were born, not a product of how they were raised. Also, your whole bathroom thing betrays more of your ignorance. All trans people want is to live normally as the gender they truly are, and to infer some sort of nefarious purpose behind wanting to use the right bathroom is asinine.
    1

  4705.  @tarafenwick7988  Why do you dislike the term cisgender? Is there a different adjective that you would prefer in its place when discussing transgender women and non-transgender women? Because just using "trans women" and "women" causes confusion.
    1
  4706.  @tarafenwick7988  "Trans women" is not some separate category from "women". Transgender is an adjective. A transgender woman is a woman who is transgender, trans women are a subsection of women. Yes, to imply that trans women aren't "real women" is, in fact, transphobic.

    1
  4714.  @sofie3912  I simply don't accept the claim that some sort of god was involved, because the evidence is entirely lacking. I don't have to have faith in "accidental abiogenesis" to reject that claim.

  4721. That would do nothing to alleviate the feeling of dysphoria, in fact it would worsen it.
    1
  4722.  @ladycrystal3293  We know that hormone therapy (estrogen for trans women and testosterone for trans men) tends to greatly alleviate dysphoria in trans people, and we know that transgender teens who don't have access to puberty blockers and go through natural puberty (meaning young trans women's bodies are flooded with testosterone and trans men's bodies are flooded with estrogen) go through significantly increased dysphoria. You can't reverse-transition someone out of being trans.
    1
  4723.  @kathrynnnnn  Teens generally don't get access to hormone therapy (if they do I believe it's at 16 at the earliest), and teens have their bodies flooded with hormones regardless unless they use the aforementioned puberty blockers. Hence the developing. And no, most people who transition medically don't regret it. Statistically, people who detransition are in the minority, and then among those people, most of them do so because they can't afford to transition or because they're pressured to stop by others. Those who detransition because they actually regret transitioning are a minority of a minority.

  4747.  @MajesticJoshua  No, puberty is not "stopped altogether". They don't just keep taking them in perpetuity, they take them for a few years at most until they either move on to hormone therapy or stop taking them and let puberty happen naturally. And yeah, it tells me that this reactionary moral panic you're supporting here is causing real harm when it's picked up by politicians.

  4766.  @bennywolfe4357  Not at all. You, on the other hand, were brainwashed to believe the harmless act of being in a consenting romantic and/or sexual relationship with an individual of the same gender is something immoral. Going so far as to say they "deserve death". Hope you're not planning any hate crimes there, Ben.

  4777.  @crate249  Hey remember when Trump supporters violently stormed the capitol after the president encouraged them to?
    1
  4778.  @crate249  It's not, it's illegal in either case. Which makes it weird to me why there was such an incredibly heavy police presence at the protests of last summer where you had countless acts of violence by police against protesters, while armed terrorists had to literally break into the capitol in order for the authorities to fire shots. And the vast majority of them still never saw consequences.
    1
  4779.  @crate249  He never directly called for them to storm the capitol, he can't take the mask off that much. But far-right crazies had been planning an event on january 6th for weeks after Trump had sold them this conspiracy theory about alleged election fraud. And he tweeted about this date himself to encourage them to show up. He all but invited an agitated armed mob of conspiracy theorists to the capitol with open arms. And after the fact he attempted to justify their actions by saying, and I quote: "these are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long."

  4809. What do you mean, "we still doing this"? You keep responding, so I keep responding too. I don't know what kind of post-apocalyptic hellscape the United States is but I generally don't need to carry a gun around to feel safe.

  4822. The root cause of all poor vs rich problems is the fact that the wealthy exploit the working class for personal gain, and in doing so, hoard gargantuan amounts of wealth that others then go without.

Christianity: - Based on stories written down by ancient humans thousands of years ago. - Said stories contain supernatural elements that are not able to be seen or replicated in reality. - Many of these supernatural elements directly contradict observable science.

So if I want to honestly learn about the universe, I too am limited to the natural world, as nothing supernatural can scientifically be demonstrated to exist. To be "unbound by science" is to not care about what can be demonstrated to be true, and what fails to meet this standard.

It has falsely claimed that the majority of transgender children desist, argued that gender exploratory therapy should be the first line treatment for those under 25, and promoted the scientifically unsupported theory of Rapid-onset gender dysphoria. SEGM is often cited in anti-transgender legislation and court cases, sometimes filing court briefs."

  4904. A lot of people do tend to gravitate towards a certain gender though in regards to their sexuality. Labels can be useful in a practical sense. It's like saying you're a vegetarian so that there'll be more than hamburgers and sausages at the barbecue.

  4923. Of course you can't change the past. But you can shape the present. And slavery and the apartheid that followed made it so that while we currently (hypothetically) have legal equality, things aren't quite equal yet for a number of reasons. A big one being that for the vast majority of black families, these realities have made it so they haven't had the ability to build wealth to the same degree that white people have. Slavery is over, yes, but the idea that it doesn't have any repercussions today is naive.

The whole thing is corrupt, so the whole thing needs to be uprooted and replaced.

  4950.  @zachman5150  You took the analogy too literally. Are you being obtuse on purpose? Let me spell it out for you so that even you can understand it. Someone drives around, gets t-boned. They suffer injuries as a result of this. Being injured is a consequence of their choice to drive that day, but they never those to get injured. However, according to you, because they got injured due to their own choice to drive that day, they should live with the consequences of that choice and not have an option to alleviate the negative consequences. If at this point you still don't get it I'm just going to assume you're a troll, you sure seem to act like one.
    1
  4951.  @zachman5150  Driving is a choice. A potential consequence is getting into an accident and becoming injured. People who are injured have the option to have their injuries treated at a hospital. Sex is a choice. A potential consequence is becoming pregnant. Pregnant people have the option to get an abortion. Tell me why the car accident victim shouldn't just "deal with the consequences" and stay injured.

  4958. It's been "shown to fail" in the sense that people tend to fare very poorly under totalitarian dictatorships regardless of their economic systems. But socialism doesn't necessitate totalitarianism. I wouldn't support it if it wasn't compatible with democracy. And all modern societies contain some degree of socialist ideas. If we lived in a fully capitalist society, we wouldn't have such things as child labor laws, 40 hour work weeks, worker protection standards for people who work with pesticides, etc. We wouldn't have emergency services and road construction funded by our taxes. Time and time again we can see that privatization and unfettered pursuit of profit leads to exploitation and suffering, and that our lives improve when we come together and democratically decide to pursue things that benefit everyone, rather than make someone a profit.

  4980.  @jerseyguy198  "Exploitation has always existed so it should continue to exist" is what you're basically saying. No, I'm not lazy, I don't want a handout. It's simply that this system of private ownership and profit above all else needs to go. In my country there's a housing crisis and countless young people simply can't find an affordable home. Because nowadays houses are seen more as something to buy and sell or generate income from as a landlord rather than something for people to live in. In your example, having a phone is not a simple luxury, in today's society you're basically expected to have a phone and to be reachable there. But as you said, they're currently produced through exploitation. Underpaid laborers in atrocious working conditions making tech that's designed to be replaced every few years with a newer model. But why does it necessarily need to be that way? Exploitation is a choice, not a natural state of things.

  4982. The average teacher in the US makes around 60k annually. The average CEO makes around 15.6 million. You're not gonna tell me a CEO works 260 times as hard as a teacher. The meritocracy is a myth, the system is broken, and the accumulation of wealth is immoral. The main reason people support the idea that "anyone can become rich if they just work hard enough" is the same reason people believe in heaven. It's comforting. It's nice. But it's not likely to be true.

  5006. Atheism isn't the belief that god isn't real, it's the absence of belief that god is real. And it's not about the consequences, it's about having good reasons to believe those consequences are there in the first place. If I, a random stranger on the internet, told you a missile was about to hit your house, you probably wouldn't run outside, even though the consequence if I'm right would be death. And that's because I haven't given you a reason to take my claim seriously.

Like I said, there's no transition from non-life to life because those cells are already alive. You're drawing a line at conception and calling it "life beginning" and I'm asking why.
    1
  5012.  @monadouroboros At the moment of conception it's literally nothing more than the sum of its parts, calling that a "new being" seems extremely arbitrary. It's certainly not a valid reason to deny pregnant people autonomy over their own body.

  5135. The standard for morality is well-being.
    1
  5136. We (or at least I) judge actions as moral or immoral depending on whether they contribute to well-being. We want to be healthy without our life being threatened, so murder is seen as very immoral. Wealth and possessions are used to get through life, so taking them from others is immoral. Etc. In any case, using God as a standard seems meaningless to me since then you're just judging things as moral or immoral based on the whims of a deity. If God spoke to every human tomorrow and told them murder was moral, would it become moral?

    1
  5149.  @kathrynnnnn  Trans women are a minority too. Why do you exclude one minority of women from womanhood for not menstruating but not the other? And I'm not "going out of my way" to call people cis, I'm using language that accurately represents what I mean. In this context I was referring specifically to cis women and not trans women.

  5159. The economy exists to serve humanity, not the other way around. We have a system where we're all competing to be better off. Some people win really, really big, and many more people lose. It would be far better to have a system where everyone's needs are met than to have one where we're all chasing riches.
    1
  5160. Corporations can only make a profit because they don't pay the worker the full value of their labor. The system encourages us to become richer at the expense of others. And it's not a fair competition either. You study to get smart, but only if you can afford to study. And assuming you don't have a mental disability. You get a good job to make some money, if you can find one. Maybe you can't find a job. Maybe you can find a job but it doesn't pay enough, so you need to work two jobs. Affording to start a business? Plenty of people never get to the point of being able to afford such a venture, and even then, many businesses fail. There are so many systemic issues and variables that to reduce it completely to personal responsibility is completely asinine. Especially in this world where the divide between wealthy and poor continues to grow.

  5179. Fetus. Not a baby. You're using inaccurate terms in an attempt to manipulate people's emotions. But the fact is that a fetus can't viably live without its host and isn't conscious, and because of that I see no real justification for ascribing it personhood. You should take a look at what the "pro-life" side is suggesting as well. Should women legally be forced to complete a pregnancy they don't want? What about if the fetus is the result of rape? What if the pregnancy could harm the mother? Actually that last one is a bit of a trick question, as all pregnancies can potentially harm the mother.

  5231.  @somebodyoncetoldmetheworld5873  I'm not sure what you mean by "after puberty", the blockers prevent puberty from occuring. Either to let the individual have time to figure out their identity, or to start hormone therapy. It can happen that someone decides not to transition, or that someone detransitions. These cases are a small minority, but still. The best we can do is listen to people's wishes and have them talk to a medical professional to figure out a best next step.

  5236. "A religious person usually has a stronger moral compass and puts others before themselves" I don't know if that's statistically the case. But speaking for myself as an atheist, I try to act morally because I understand that my actions affect others. It's really just that simple. And on the other hand, I see religious people, especially fanatically religious people, often using their religious beliefs to justify immoral actions. Not to mention, it's worrying to me that you would only act morally because you believe there's some kind of cosmic reward and punishment tied to your behavior.

  5260.  @marlonmoncrieffe0728  No you don't. Companies cut corners all the time. The need for profit means they'll always offer the worst they can get away with. And I'm not just talking about competition between businesses. Profit requires exploitation. Owners of both businesses and housing take money that others worked for, simply by virtue of owning the business they work at or the house or apartment they live in. And because of that, the divide between wealthy and poor will keep on growing. They keep rising higher and the rest of us keep sinking deeper.
    1
  5261.  @marlonmoncrieffe0728  Sure, maintaining is. I've got nothing against being a handyman. What I'm against is the private ownership of the means of production, and housing being used as a means to make money at the detriment to people who just need a roof over their heads.

  5262. ​ @marlonmoncrieffe0728  Under our current system? The parasite who owns the property. Doesn't have to be that way, of course. Risk? All the employer risks is becoming like one of the workers. And the detriment is a situation like we find ourselves in today, where rent is extremely high, owning a home as a young person is a pipe dream for all but the luckiest of us, while homes sit empty because foreign investors have deemed it the most profitable route. I hope this isn't a controversial opinion, but the reason we have houses is so that people can have a home. A place to sleep, to take shelter from the elements, to keep their various belongings, raise their families, live their lives. How have we gotten to a point where that has become secondary to them being a way for rich people to make themselves even richer?

  5302. What a depressingly low view of humanity we have. People are naturally inclined to help one another. We wouldn't have gotten this far if we weren't. But capitalism rewards greed. It takes the resources we all need to live and makes them rewards for a competition. Capitalism is failing humanity before our very eyes. If you can't see that, you are blind.

  5308.  @zachman5150  See, there it is again. "The innocent". You're not approaching any of this from a side of wanting better outcomes, you just want to satisfy some warped sense of justice. You want to protect fetuses and punish women who have sex, and have no problem with the state executing people who have broken the law. Even though fetuses are not actually people yet in any meaningful sense, as opposed to the fully grown convicts you'd gladly see put in an electric chair. Of course, none of that even matters considering a pregnant person ultimately decides what goes on in their own body.

  5332. You don't think an entire ethnicity of people being literal property a mere century and a half ago could have repercussions today? Hell, it wasn't until the 1960s that black people stopped being legally treated as second class citizens.

  5369. The crucial difference is that children cannot consent.

  5370. I mean, incest has a great potential to be harmful. A romantic relationship between siblings and especially parents and children has a huge potential to be unhealthy, even when everyone involved is a consenting adult. But I don't think it's a black and white issue. Is it immoral for two cousins to be in a relationship? What if they're gay or can't have children?

Nothing is being taken from you by having a trans woman pee in the stall next to you or compete in a sporting event against you. Sports organizations already have rules in place for what hormone levels a trans athlete needs to be at in order to be able to compete. Your blatant misgendering all throughout this comment also shows me that you have no interest in peacefully co-existing with trans people.

  5430.  IssyFishyy  Who the fuck cares about reproduction? Marriage isn't about having kids, nor is it required for having kids. If two same-gender people want their relationship to be legally recognized like straight couples' are, there's no good reason not to allow it.
    1
  5431.  IssyFishyy  I'm saying that reproduction is irrelevant to marriage.
    1
  5432.  IssyFishyy  Marriage has legal implications and a lot of people see weddings as a milestone moment in their lives that they don't want to miss. Also, what the fuck is "producing legally"? Non-married couples' kids weren't "illegally produced".

  5438. The whole "love the sinner, hate the sin" thing still seems hateful to me. Being gay, trans, bi, etc is part of who someone is. When you say you love them but "hate the sin" you're saying you hate an aspect of them. One that isn't harming anyone.
    1
  5439. The first step to making a better society is to start seeing crime as a symptom. People whose basic needs are met and who aren't facing systemic inequality generally don't start looting. I don't think it's a good thing to loot. But the looting is indicative of a bigger problem that isn't being adressed. That's what should be focused on.

  5446. There's been increased processing times for visas despite a lower amount of applications, the wait times for citizenship have been doubled, denials for H1Bs have been doubled. No laws have been changed but there's a significant change in how accessible the US is for foreigners through subtle administrative changes.

  5471.  @tobiasbk8441  Grocery stores generate a profit by striking deals with manufacturers to buy their stock, selling it at an increased price, and paying their employees less than their labor is worth. I'm not anti-grocery store by any means, but it would absolutely be preferable if they were collectively owned, so that every employee is paid for what they contribute, rather than the company doing everything they can to maximize profit and constantly grow their business.

  5492.  @apologetics2785  It's personal in the sense that personally I want myself and other humans to have good lives. Once you have that, which the vast majority of us do, you can see which actions are good for people and which are not. I wonder though, I'm assuming you're a Christian, would you say bad things are bad because your god says they are? Or does your god say they're bad because they're bad? Either there's some kind of all-encompassing morality that your god is singularly capable of tapping into, which I would struggle to call morality then, or your god is expressing an opinion which you are following.
    1
  5493.  @apologetics2785  Uhuh. And it's convenient that your religious beliefs give you all of that. But I don't believe the supernatural claims. And not having an all-in-one package of supposedly ultimate meaning and moral code and whatnot does not make me "lost". If anything, your rigid adherence to a preset moral code makes your morals inflexible, which is why you see Christians arguing against harmless things like gay marriage.
    1
  5494.  @apologetics2785  And there you go. Harmless things considered "wrong" because of ancient ideas of how the world ought to work. Thank you for demonstrating why theistic morality fails.

  5507.  @chic0latin0  You can point to individual examples of exceptions but generally the wealthy keep accumulating more and more wealth while the poor keep getting poorer. This data on this is pretty easy to find.

    1
  5513.  @tywinters4352  You think lying and infidelity is a new thing??? And no, Christians aren't some oppressed victim group, and the fact that you feel like they are isn't evidence that they're "tElLiNg ThE tRuTh". Christianity has dominated Europe and the US for centuries and their influence has finally waned.

  5517. Sad.

  5518. You've missed the third and biggest reason for atheism: the complete lack of demonstrable evidence for theistic claims. We're all born without belief in a god. Many of us are indoctrinated at a very young age, before we're able to think critically, and end up realizing the flimsiness of theistic claims later in life. And others just never start believing.

  5521. The justice system, first and foremost, exists for rehabilitation. Even if someone is in prison for life, we don't have the right to end the life of someone who isn't currently posing a threat. And if someone is falsely accused of a crime and executed, there's no way to repair that mistake. Forcing an innocent person to serve time is bad enough, but killing them is inhuman and should never happen.

  5522.  @rambo_4_christ7  You realize gay people aren't infertile right? Plenty of same-gender couples have kids either through adoption or sperm donors. If the last two people on the earth were gay, as long as they weren't of the same sex, they could totally still make kids. I'd worry about the incestuous implications of the next generation though.
    1

  5552. The point of a business is to supply the human species with goods and services. Profit is a means to an end to keeping those businesses around within the capitalist system, but the problem is that businesses will always seek out profit at the expense of more important things. That's the problem of capitalism. I believe every person who is born has the right to live, but they won't earn enough money to keep themselves fed, healthy, and with a roof over their head, if businesses decide it's in their interest to pay them less.

  5606. It's keeping said person away from society at large. Not just anyone gets life in prison, they generally get it for particularly heinous and violent criminal behavior, prompting them to be seperated from potential victims. In that sense, life in prison is beneficial to society. What is not beneficial to society, is executing said person. It's simply unnecessary to take a life when imprisoning them does the same thing, but without inflicting death.

  5610.  @kathrynnnnn  In regards to tradition I might've used too broad a brush.

Someone else outside the closed-off room, who also can't see the coin, says that the coin must have landed on heads. He has no way of knowing, so you don't believe him. Does this mean you automatically hold the position that the coin landed on tails?

  5632. Yeah, that organism isn't a person until its brain has developed more. I can't pinpoint a specific moment because there's no one point where you go from 0% self awareness to 100% self awareness, but an embryo has none of it and then between a late stage fetus and a two year old infant it gradually increases. For this reason I don't see how aborting a zygote or an embryo is any worse than the death of a sperm cell that didn't quite make it to the egg, or died in a paper towel.

I also asked him to bring a Sausage McMuffin, as I hadn't had breakfast yet. I gave him a full minute to do this, but nothing happened. You may feel like this was an unreasonable request, but I feel like for an omnipotent being, this should be a trivial task. So I guess my question is, why is Jesus only capable of answering our calls in ways that don't necessitate godhood? It makes it kind of an unreliable experiment, does it not?

Or look at the case of Brock Turner, where a college kid raped an unconscious girl and got an incredibly light sentence. As for its glorification, look at how rape is reacted to when an attractive woman commits statutory rape. Unfortunately there's plenty of people out there without a coherent understanding of or interest in the concept of consent.

  5753.  @MikeHunt-tf1rn  That's fine, but it shouldn't come at the cost of failing to making sure everyone has what they need. No one chooses with what traits or attributes they're born, so it shouldn't decide whether or not someone gets to eat or have a roof over their head. Also, hierarchy historically hasn't exactly been a meritocracy, nor is it that way now. A king wasn't a king because he contributed more than those below him, and a billionaire today doesn't work thousands of times harder than a teacher.

  5757.  @MrNybios  Words are defined by how they're used. A "phobia" might generally refer to a fear but homophobia and transphobia encompasses hatred and discomfort as well, it's used as an umbrella term for a range of irrational negative responses to the LGBTQ+ community. You can whinge about it "incorrect" but that won't change anything.

  5783. None of that proves that a god had anything to do with it. You're just asserting that it has to be the creation of a god because you can't think of any other explanation. That's called the argument from ignorance fallacy. And you're right, you don't need miracles or signs to prove that a god exists. You need evidence.

Being gay isn't some kind of temporary and arbitrary curse that gets lifted after you die. It's part of who you are. And you don't even know if there's a "soul" to last after you die. You could be wasting the only chance at love you have for some reward that you might not even get! How crazy is that?

  5816.  @jacobglg  Conservatism, especially the extreme variety common in the US, is a political ideology that seeks to greatly limit what people can do, not to improve people's lives but to mold society into this arbitrary idealized shape. In the case of trans people for example, it's clear that trans people exist, and it's been demonstrated that letting them transition greatly improves their well being. But conservatives would deny them the ability to transition. Because they would happily deny them that freedom if the concept of "gender" can remain these two immutable little boxes.

  5824.  @user-kf6xz4eg7h  Those are nice anecdotes, but the truth is that socioeconomic mobility is at a low point in the US. I'm not denying that applying yourself is helpful in achieving financial success. But that idea is so often used to put all the blame on the individual. That the system is fine, and people just need to change themselves. While in reality, the system is rigged in favor of the wealthy. The rich keep getting richer, at the expense of everyone else. No amount of personal mindset adjustments will fix that, but it does need to be fixed.
    1
  5825.  @user-kf6xz4eg7h  The reason the rich get richer is because they're already rich. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that making money is a hell of a lot easier when you already have it.
    1
  5826.  @user-kf6xz4eg7h  "Blaming" the system is just step one. Step two is changing it. So that people can't hoard grotesque amounts of wealth during a major health crisis anymore, as a great example.

  5828.  @tomgodfrey92  Surgery typically isn't performed on minors, and puberty blockers exist literally to prevent body-altering changes at a young age. They halt puberty so that a transgender teen can decide to get hormone therapy at a later age without having to go through a natural puberty that would cause a lot of dysphoria. And if they decide that for whatever reason they don't want to transition, they can just stop taking the puberty blockers and puberty will happen normally.

    1
  5915.  @tylervelasquez5639  Well that's not true. I'm no different than any other human in the fact that I was born here and want to live a happy life. In that sense, I can be conscious of how my actions affect other people, and change my behavior so that no one is harmed by my actions. That's essentially what morality is, agreed upon behavior within a group of people that promotes their general well-being. We label actions are morally good or bad depending on how they affect people, though it's often not a simple affair, which is why moral philosophy is a thing. As for everything we do being worthless, I don't agree at all. If you'd say it was ultimately worthless I'd agree, but we as humans give things worth. If we value things like happiness and freedom, actions that make people happy and free are worthwhile. I hope this made sense, I think I rambled a bit.

We have morality simply because we're a social species and as such we're inclined to want to be kind to each other and not harm each other. As for where a person gets "their morality" from, that depends on their moral philosophy. Also, quick correction, atheism isn't a religion.

  6025. Does there need to be a "community" for a group of people to exist? Is there a tall community? No, but tall people still exist, and so do cis people. If you dislike the term cisgender so much, what other adjective would you suggest to refer to people who aren't transgender?
    1
  6026.  @PollyFoxParanormal  No one is disputing the fact that you're a woman. No one is going to stop calling you a woman. But in this context is it not useful to have terms to differentiate between trans women and cis women?
    1
  6027.  @PollyFoxParanormal  But trans here is used as an adjective. So you have women who are trans, and women... without any further elaboration. Like, those women you're referring to in the second group could be trans. So wouldn't it be useful to have an adjective to refer to them, so that people can communicate clearly?
    1
  6028.  @PollyFoxParanormal  Oh now it's hyphenated? Nope, it's not "trans-women". It's trans women. As in women who are trans. Seems to me like you just don't want to admit that trans women are women too.
    1
  6029.  @PollyFoxParanormal  I meant "second group" as in the second one you mentioned in your comment. Are you against the word "straight" as well? Do you think there's "women" and "gay women"?

  6058.  MoonCrow  Sure it is. The claim "God exists" cannot be proven to be true, meaning we are not justified in accepting it. The claim "God does not exist" cannot be proven to be true, meaning we are not justified in accepting it. And when we accept neither of these claims, we land at the default position: agnostic atheism. The non-belief in theistic claims, without the positive claim that no gods exist.
    1
  6059.  MoonCrow  In your wise words: "LOL!!!" Seems to me like you remember what pants you wore, so I don't see why you'd reject that. Not sure how this is related to my argument, either, as remembering what pants you wore yesterday is not even close to the same thing as a claim that a supernatural being exists. If you were making the claim to me that you wore grey pants yesterday, then yeah, I don't have any way to verify that. But it's such an inconsequential claim that I don't mind just taking your word for it.
    1
  6060.  MoonCrow  It's not different rules, you changed the premise of the argument when you made it about something that you have knowledge of, rather than a truth claim that's being examined. You can't demand concrete evidence from yourself for every single memory you have of every single sock you've ever worn because it's simply inconsequential, as well as impossible to keep up. But if you had a memory of something less ordinary, like a supernatural event or something, you would probably want to have some demonstrable evidence before you accept it as true.
    1
  6061.  MoonCrow  If you can't prove to me that you wore grey pants, and I can't prove that you didn't, my response will be agnosticism towards your alleged wearing of the grey pants. If I already had knowledge of your wearing of the grey pants, I would be gnostic about your wearing of they grey pants.

  6062.  @mooncrow9325  Go for it.

  6063.  @mooncrow9325  Sure, I have no problem with that.

  6090.  @av1871  Some people have long names that may be hard to pronounce. But you still use them. Because that's just what their name is.

  6092. Not in this video, no. But plenty of former muslims exist.

  6093.  @timsetto  Videos like these tend to focus on Christianity because it's by far the most prevalent religion in the US, where these videos are produced.

  6095.  @Islander05  Yes, you've made it quite clear that you love the taste of billionaire boot.

  6096. Why do you want people with multiple partners to be burned?
    1
  6097.  @everydayappleuser  What sounds delusional to me is believing in a fiery torture world for ghosts, and wanting someone to go there because they have more than one partner.

  6098.  @everydayappleuser  What does the Quran have to do with anything?

  6099.  @everydayappleuser  I'm really not sure what you're asking here.
    1
  6100. @UCMybnjZpG-HTL8P93e05kQw It's not cheating if everyone in the relationship consents though. And death is an incredibly harsh punishment for having multiple partners, especially when, again, everyone consents.
    1
  6101.  @everydayappleuser  I'm a dude. Why?
    1
  6102.  @everydayappleuser  You're describing cheating. I don't see what this has to do with polyamory. If this hypothetical girl was polyamorous, she'd be open about that from the beginning. And if I were to then enter the relationship I would be aware of this and consent to it. If all parties in a relationship are okay with the relationship containing more than two individuals, what is the problem? And why do you think they should be killed and tortured in a big fiery torture cave?

  6103. The United States currently has both the worst rated and the most expensive healthcare system of any developed country.

  6115.  @GokuBlack-bw5ye  Some facts: - The US is handling the coronavirus pandemic terribly, with over 138 thousand people having died of the virus. While this was going on, Trump for a long time refused to wear a mask and instead made irresponsible comments about ingesting disinfectants. - While BLM protests were going on in Washington, Trump had a crowd of peaceful protesters tear gassed so that he could have a photo op at a church he'd never been to. - Trump's speech at Mt. Rushmore ticks many of the boxes outlined in Umberto Eco's "Ur-fascism".

  6126. I feel bad for Angel. No one should feel pressured to put themselves in the closet.

  6127. How is it a massive difference exactly? Seems like what's "illegal immigration" and "legal immigration" just depends on who's making the laws, which would be the Trump administration, which makes "illegal immigrants" just sort of a synonym for "undesirable immigrants".

  6145.  @Dark-Bit  They'll still be a very cheap labor source, which incentivises the prison industrial complex to lobby for more prison sentences. Why do you think the US has more inmates than literally any other country?
    1
  6146.  @Dark-Bit  No for-profit prisons, focusing on rehabilitation as much as possible in prisons, investment in crime prevention through things like better mental health initiatives and social safety nets, and treating drug addiction like a medical issue instead of a criminal one.
    1
  6147. Sad
    1
  6148.  Evan Scammell  Then why's he making it harder for people to legally immigrate as well, and detaining refugees in horrible conditions? Requesting asylum requires crossing the border, but people crossing it seem to just be arrested by default. My comment wasn't specifically about that though, I just think all Trump supporters are sad.
    1
  6149. Why do you think that in most cases it's a man?
    1
  6150. I'm not disputing that historically, a lot of high ranking and prestigious positions were filled by men. But I'm asking what makes you think they were best suited, rather than the end result of a system that favors men over women when making these decisions.

  6151. It's "degrading"? How?

  6156. Because when ancient books conflict with science, believers tend to go with the ancient books. That's literally the only reason there's still people who refuse to accept that evolution is real, or that there was never a worldwide flood.
    1
  6157.  @Blackish1ntentx  Trans people exist everywhere. The reason you're hearing about it a lot in the US and the UK is because ghoulish conservatives have decided to target them as a minority group to stoke hatred and fear.

  6158.  @Србомбоница86  True! And they can choose to get an abortion, too!
    1
  6159. Why do you believe it's a baby once it's concieved? Seems kind of arbitrary.
    1
  6160. But dependent on the mother continuing to host this fetus inside her womb, which I'm sure you're aware can cause injury or death. Why is a zygote suddenly human when an egg cell or a sperm cell is not? Or is it just because it's really inconvenient to consider every menstruation the death of a child, or every ejaculation genocide?
    1
  6161. Do elaborate.
    1
  6162. Abortion should be legal for literally anyone who wants to get one.

  6163. I've never understood this, though. Why would a being who is capable of literally anything demand blind belief as the sole requirement? Does he just want to fill heaven with gullible people?

  6176. The Trump administration certainly seems to be anti-immigration, considering the increased roadblocks that have appeared in the legal immigration process over the last few years.
    1
  6177.  @marcolozano9321  They're allowed, sure. But it's an increasingly long and frustrating process, and that is by design. Not to mention a cost of several thousand dollars.
    1
  6178.  @marcolozano9321  Sure, Trump wasn't the first to make it difficult to legally enter the US, but he has certainly kept that "tradition" strong. Which always makes it odd to hear people say that they, as Trump supporters are only against undocumented immigrants.

  6205. So do you just go back and delete all of your own comments then? What an odd thing to do.

  6206. I don't care if you're a Christian, a Muslim, or a Scientologist.

  6216. How does a bronze age book of stories prove anything about the real world?
    1
  6217. As far as I can tell, the bible is an ancient book of myth, and there's lots of those. To find out things about the real world, like the existence of a god, we would have to find demonstrable evidence of that in the real world. So again, what is the relevance of the bible when it comes to proof?

  6244. So first you say that you shouldn't claim to know things about the universe that you can't understand, which I agree with. But then how can you say you believe in a supernatural creator?
    1
  6245.  @zem_o6  Well, do you have actual demonstrable evidence for such a creator? Because I feel like until you have that, belief isn't really justified. We don't know, after all. Something being complex doesn't necessitate a god making it.
    1
  6246.  @zem_o6  Smartphones and towers are manmade of course. But "everything" has a creator? How can you possibly know such a thing?
    1
  6247.  @zem_o6  But having no evidence does mean that believing it's true is not justified. That's why I initially agreed with you about not knowing.
    1
  6248.  @zem_o6  Why? I haven't made any claims about either of those.
    1
  6249.  @zem_o6  I am an atheist. And I would like to learn the truth about the universe, sure. But you'd have to be able to demonstrate that it's the truth. Otherwise I'll go with the default "I don't know".
    1
  6250.  @zem_o6  "By birth" I guess, if you mean I wasn't raised to believe in any particular religion. And you can recommend a book, but I can't guarantee I'll read it, I've got a pretty hefty backlog of books already

  6258. Gay people, bisexual people, trans people, nonbinary people, etc all demonstrably exist. You can go talk to any number of them (unlike a god).
    1
  6259. The standard is always mankind. Because this god is an invention of mankind, an amalgamation of bronze age human ideas. You're not rejecting mankind's standards, you're clinging to ancient mankind's standards. That's the way I see it, anyway.
    1
  6260. That's a contradiction. A trans woman is a woman who is trans.
    1
  6261. Exactly. And that's why the current wealth inequality is so gross. People with entirely too much money when so much more human happiness could be generated if more people had enough to just live.
    1
  6262. Socialism is the cure

  6264.  @praisehenein9414  You love science, but not enough to apply it to theism.
    1
  6265. Uhuh. Because none of those problems are directly caused by American foreign intervention or anything. And civilians with families are totally capable of solving these huge political issues instead of moving somewhere where they can actually have a decent life.

  6287.  @ChechiDLR  It has nothing to do with bottom surgery. It just means going back to live as a cisgender person. This usually means stopping hormone therapy, yes, and changing the way they present themselves. Many people detransition temporarily because the people around them aren't supportive of them, or because they can't afford the hormone therapy. The detransitioners who detransition because they actually regret transitioning are a minority.

  6290. I don't know, your bible sketches a picture of a pretty evil god.

  6384. The answer is homophobia. Many gay people are in the closet, either to escape discrimination or because they're just completely in denial about who they are. And a lot of them in the latter category end up entering a heterosexual relationship, I suppose in an attempt to "prove their straightness" to themselves.

  6435. Atheism by itself isn't a positive claim, it's the lack of theistic belief. That's why we have the agnostic atheist/gnostic atheist distinction. An agnostic atheist doesn't believe in any gods and doesn't claim to know whether or not any gods exist. A gnostic atheist on the other hand is someone who claims to know that no gods exist.
    1
  6436.  @briannnnnnnnnn1037  Not claiming to know whether or not a god exists. You could be an agnostic theist for example who believes in a god but doesn't claim to have knowledge on whether or not that god exists.

  6447.  @lictxn  Never said you were homophobic. I'm not assigning a trait to you as a person. I'm saying that regarding someone's sexuality, one that's not harming anyone, as something that's wrong with them that they need to overcome, is homophobic. It's the same as if someone were to say "I don't hate black people, I just don't support being black." Some say it's different because you can choose to act on your sexuality or not. And yes, you can be closeted about your sexuality and not so much about your race. But in the end it's looking at a harmless innate trait that someone has and saying that there's something wrong with it.

    1
  6458.  @IGodsChildI  I don't know. You're the one who saw them, not me. And that's the thing, these spiritual things can apparently be experienced on an individual basis, but are never demonstrable. And so we can't investigate whether they're really supernatural events, or mere hallucinations. The human brain can easily be fooled, after all, which is all the more reason why the scientific method is so important.

  6493.  @drewdirenzo  On the first topic, she was saying no one is transitioning or pretending to transition just to access women's spaces for nefarious purposes. Of course there's instances of people being sexually assaulted by trans people, there's bound to be horrible people in any category of human beings. A study from 2018 concluded that inclusive bathroom policy did not decrease the safety of said bathroom. There's just no data that shows that trans people are in any way a threat in these spaces. To point to one or two examples would be to ignore that cisgender people sexually assault others too. On the second topic, she wasn't saying no one has very late term abortions, she was saying that people generally don't have them unless it's for a medical reason. It would make no sense for someone who simply doesn't want to be pregnant to wait for 8 months before getting an abortion. And yes, most abortions (in general, not late term) are done because the pregnant person doesn't want to be pregnant. I don't think anyone in the video claimed otherwise. The "that's not happening" was in regard to people having very late term abortions without medical necessity.

  6505. @Beardsman When people refer to volcanoes they usually call them volcanoes, not lakes. A "lake of fire" appears to be a purely religious concept (and a Meat Puppets song). But is this whole religion centered around the ancient practice of just tossing wrongdoers into an actual active volcano, then?

  6525. This topic is so frustrating to me because the pro-gun side seems blind to the situations of other countries. Here in the Netherlands gun violence is so rare that any shooting makes it onto the national news. Yet in the US, there's already been over 154 mass shootings this year alone. How is that not definitive evidence that banning guns does work to strongly reduce the amount of gun violence?

  6531. Because when you already have little to nothing, failure means you and your family suffer because of it. When you're already wealthy though, taking a financial risk means nothing. You can just bounce back off the wealth you still have.
    1
  6532. And countless more people come from nothing and end at nothing, or further down. I know there's success stories, but my point is that there's not the same risk involved for everyone. If you have money, getting money is far easier.

  6534. Factory workers who assemble power tools are not construction workers. It wouldn't make sense to have those same people perform all of that work. People who make tools and people who build homes both add something to society. People who buy and sell real estate, however, seem to largely just be middlemen who are in it to make a buck. Essentially no different from scalpers who buy up all the concert tickets and resell them for a profit.

There's many documented cases of the CIA subverting democratic elections abroad. Also, how is the US adopting socialism right now? Actually, can you define socialism?
    1
  6544.  @superagario9249  The reason the US has always been against socialism is because socialism would be bad for the 1% that's running the US. You still haven't told me how the US is in any way "turning socialist" today. Do you think "big government" is what constitutes socialism? Are you some kind of politically illiterate anarcho-capitalist?

  6570. How is being gay "wrong"?
    1
  6571. Being gay (as in, being attracted exclusively to those of the same gender as yourself) doesn't seem to be a choice. No one chooses who they're attracted to, and it seems very unlikely that someone would "choose" to be gay in extremely conservative places where that can lead to a dangerous situation for them.
    1
  6572. It's certainly possible that there's a genetic component to pedophilia. But pedophilia inherently involves sexual acts with children, who by definition cannot consent. Therein lies the difference. Same-gender relationships aren't harmful, adult-child relationships are.

  6576.  @maroonmaroonmaroon2985  Personhood is a question of philosophy really, not science. But to say that as soon as conception has taken place there's a person seems to me completely arbitrary and inaccurate. It's not DNA that makes a person, it's a mind, the ability to perceive and feel, to think. A fetus generally doesn't have those yet, especially in the early stages when the vast majority of abortions are performed.

  6577.  @maroonmaroonmaroon2985  Don't know!

  6584. @British EITC Corporatist Capitalism requires constant growth. Companies that compete with each other must keep growing or either go out of business or be absorbed by their competitors in their eternal quest for a monopoly. But constant growth is not possible with finite resources. Profits are put over the needs of people and their environments which results in waste and inequality of income. And consider fossil fuels. We know we need to stop burning them, but lobbyists from oil giants make sure their business can continue, instead of fossil fuels being phased out for a more sustainable way of energy production.

They normally require treatment over multiple days, and are only performed by a subset of all abortion providers. Reasons individuals seek abortions later in pregnancy include medical concerns such as fetal anomalies or maternal life endangerment, as well as barriers to care that cause delays in obtaining an abortion." Why would someone who wants an abortion from the very beginning wait for 8 months?

However, even if you've gribbled, there is an escape! Kevin kicked his brother Devin in the shin, giving him the punishment meant for gribblers! Just say "Thank you Devin for getting kicked real hard in the shin" and you're good to go. Baha priss dimmie! This is what that sounds like to unbelievers.
    1
  6643. Why?
    1
  6644. So "letting kids be kids" in the case of trans kids involves forcing them to go through a puberty that causes them great suffering? I mean really consider the alternative here. Doing nothing is not a neutral action. Puberty blockers are used precisely so that a transgender teen can decide to start taking hormones or not at a later age, without having puberty inflict lasting changes on their body that cause immense gender dysphoria. The same gender dysphoria that you would feel if you as a cis person were forcibly given hormones of the opposite sex.

  6655.  @smileydog5941  Trans women are women. And they should absolutely be able to compete after medical transition.

    1
  6670.  @GuranPurin  Pronouns refer to gender, not sex. And Blossom is a woman. You're acting like any request to not be called something is fundamentally the same, when in this case one is about a trans person wanting their gender identity acknowledged and respected, and in the other case it's about a cis person wanting trans people not to have their gender identity acknowledged and respected.
    1

  6710. The thing about that is that there's different types of transitioning. Transitioning doesn't have to involve hormone therapy or surgery, where it all starts is changing the way you present yourself to the world. The way you act, dress, etc. None of that is a permanent change. In the vast majority of places (I'm not aware of a place where this isn't the case) you have to be legally an adult to have surgery, and at least 16 for hormone therapy. And these will only be given after a lot of consultation with medical professionals. Puberty blockers can be given at an earlier age but these are completely reversible and serve to prevent a trans child from going through the wrong puberty. If after a lot of consultation, counseling, etc the child were to discover they weren't trans after all, no permanent damage is done and they can go through their assigned gender's puberty process.

    1
  6742.  @alienJIZ1990  A factory worker's labor contributes to the production of a product. That labor has a certain value, based on that. But they're not getting the full value of their labor, instead part of it is taken by the private owner of the factory so they can generate a profit and keep growing. Not only is it immoral and exploitative to not pay a worker the full value of their labor, a system that relies on constant growth is not viable in the long term. Why not adopt a system like market socialism, where we still have companies but they're owned collectively and democratically by their workers? Right now we essentially have a kind of economic monarchy, where your boss decides every aspect of your work, which is where most people spend most of their waking hours. What rights workers have right now were won by the valiant efforts of unions. If not for them, we wouldn't have the 40 hour work week. Reasonable work hours and decent pay had to be wrested from the hands of capitalists. I think democracy should be brought to the workplace in the same way that it's been brought to the government.
    1
  6743.  @alienJIZ1990  "once you have enough money, you can start your own company where you get to call the shots." I find it a bit sad that you see this as a positive. It reads like "If you do well enough, you can be the one doing the exploiting." I'm not arguing for a system where everyone makes the same amount. These things can be democratically controlled. It's not even just a hypothetical thing, worker cooperatives exist and generally seem to do quite well.

  6813. The definition of "marriage" has changed plenty over the centuries. The very idea of marrying out of love is a relatively new concept. Sex outside of marriage or between two people of same same sex is harmless as long as there's consent and everyone acts responsibly.

  6814. I mentioned acting responsibly, which includes proper birth control. And married couples are perfectly capable of having unwanted pregnancies as well.
    1
  6815. The claim that a god was involved in any part of writing the bible has been unproven for thousands of years, and still has not met its burden of proof. You are stuck looking at this through the lens of your religious beliefs. Also, the biblical definition of marriage as described in the bible is horrible. Do you honestly think it's a good thing to force a rape survivor to marry her rapist, for example? Because that's in there: Deuteronomy 22:28-29:"If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives." Do you want to live in the kind of world where women's consent is meaningless?

  6828.  @hazardous8301  It's not about anyone being responsible, it's about the socioeconomic realities that come from having legal apartheid in recent history. Like redlining for example, or the huge different in the average net worths of white and black families due to black people's historic inability to build generational wealth. Unfortunately, things like slavery and apartheid don't just disappear and leave a perfectly equal society in their place.

Not really uniquely American ideals, that's the norm in most European countries as well. In fact, I'd say that despite officially being a secular country, many parts of the USA are so deeply religious that the people growing up there have no chance against being indoctrinated, as children can easily be kept out of schools and just indoctrinated full time instead. Here in the Netherlands, children are legally required to attend school. Owning firearms? Sure, if that's something you care about. But I don't think that really has a track record of being a positive influence on Americans' wellbeing. More difficult to take freedoms away? Tell that to women trying to get an abortion in the south.

  6866.  @jadenthiviyan1271  He certainly seems to be. I've seen multiple discussions with him and each time he misrepresents evolution, and someone explains to him how his understanding of it is not quite right. And then the next time he goes right back to his initial flawed understanding. So either he's dishonest or incapable of improving his understanding. And yes, zealotry is a bad thing. The way I see it, it's what separates the religious people who act like regular, decent people from the religious people who sacrifice their empathy and decency for complete and unquestioning obedience to their dogma. People who would actively make life worse for others if they believe it would translate to some kind of cosmic or spiritual reward.
    1
  6867.  @jadenthiviyan1271  He's admitted that transitional fossils exist, but then attempts to frame this as not being evidence for evolution by opting to divide animals into "kinds", and then claiming there's no transitional fossils between those. He even seems to bizarrely believe that snails aren't animals. He consistently frames evolution theory as something that has massive holes and seemingly ignores people who explain to him why his criticisms don't make sense. I'd go hunt down clips from debates or interviews but I don't have time at the moment I'm afraid. As for him being a zealot, I'd say his chosen profession requires a certain amount of religious fanaticism by default. People who are moderate in their religiosity typically don't go out interviewing people in the street to produce religious videos.

  6902. Now you're talkin', comrade! Seriously though, one's body and vast amounts of wealth are nowhere near the same thing.
    1
  6903. I don't think that's the same thing though. Money can't buy happiness, but a lack of money can get you anxiety and grief. It's not about having a lot, it's about having enough. That's why I hate that the rich hoard wealth while others struggle to get by.

  6904. Basing your morality off of a god is just going with said god's personal opinion. What morality is really based on for the vast majority of human beings is the promotion of well-being and the reduction of death and suffering. It's really that simple.

  6907. What makes you think a fetus qualifies as "someone else"?
    1
  6908.  @markhilditch3467  My main issue is classifying it as "someone" rather than "something", considering it's not even close to having any consciousness or ability to process information. And sure, we were all fetuses once. But before that we were all once sperm cells, and no one argues for the rights of sperm cells to be protected from dying inside a condom or a paper tissue.

The obvious point is that for a person buying things for themselves, a billion dollars is a ludicrously gargantuan amount. Those kinds of resources are for projects that benefit everyone, not for indulging in a single person's whims. And going to space just for fun isn't a great achievement. We're not achieving anything other than the wealthiest people on the planet having fun at everyone else's expense. That's not a new development at all.

Which is why we've been prescribing them for early puberty for literal decades now. But now that transgender teens want them, specifically as a concession because they can't start medically transitioning with hormones as a minor, mind you, suddenly it's unthinkably harmful and every single possible side effect is a dealbreaker?

  7091.  @ryanthomas9306  I've already corrected you on this. This has been debunked many many times. The study looks at people diagnosed with "gender identity disorder", which is no longer used and the standards for which are drastically different from a gender dysphoria diagnosis. Basically, your "desisters" include many people who were never trans in the first place. Why do you obsessively lie about trans people day after day?

  7092. That's an insane thing to say.

  7119. Morality is based on promoting well-being and preventing harm. You can delude yourself into thinking that it comes from an ancient book but there are plenty of reprehensible things in the bible that we no longer adhere to, like stonings or slavery.

  7120. Morality is something we've developed as a species, and we're not alone in that. Social species function better when they cooperate. That's why we have empathy.
    1
  7121. Well that would definitely harm the mentally disabled people wouldn't it?
    1
  7122. Because again, morality is based on promoting well-being and preventing harm. For everyone. If we systematically purge a large portion of society that would harm a lot of people. Also, punishing someone for something they didn't choose is morally repugnant for reasons I hope I don't have to explain to you.
    1
  7123. Obviously we don't all share those beliefs. We fought a war over it not a century ago here in Europe. (Almost) everyone has empathy but not everyone has a firm grasp on morality.
    1
  7124. Yes, and we're capable of dehumanizing others and taking advantage of them. This is often done by people in desperate situations. See, morality is more complicated than a simple set of rules to follow. If one lives in poverty, for example, they may be more willing to inflict harm on others to improve the lives of their family.

  7130. There's a long rickety bridge over a ravine. It's narrow, poorly constructed, and prone to being shaken around by even slight amounts of wind. Everyone except the extraordinarly wealthy and privileged are forced to cross this bridge, and many of them fall into the ravine every day. Because of this, more and more people are saying that we need a better, more secure bridge. However, I got across the bridge just fine, so there's nothing wrong with the bridge. The others just didn't want to get to the other side hard enough.

  7188.  @MM-ej5ox  In that case, I don't think anyone should be a "follower of Christ". Moral philosophy is too important to leave to an ancient book written by a very different and much less equal society. It seems to me like the "narrow path" is going to lead to generally worse outcomes. The thing is though, to me those "roads" seem flipped. It seems easy to me to just not think about morality and follow a pre-written moral code dictated by your religious beliefs. What's harder is considering the morality of your actions yourself.
    1
  7189.  @MM-ej5ox  LGBTQ+ acceptance is only a very recent thing. For most of human history, openly supporting gay rights was extremely dangerous. And in many parts of the world it still is. I find it so odd that acceptance of LGBTQ+ people could be "terrifying". It just seems completely irrational to me.

    1
  7192. I don't follow any religion so that part doesn't apply to me. I think being gay, by, pan, etc should be normalized because, no matter how you think they got that way through nature or nurture or whatever, people like that exist. So as long as they're not hurting anyone, why wouldn't it be just as normal as being straight?

  7196. Of course not. What I see is countless animals that exhibit pain, sadness, joy, empathy, and the ability to solve logical problems. Have you ever seen a crow try to get food out of a thin cylinder of water? They drop pebbles into the water to raise the water level so they can get to the food floating on its surface. Isn't that indicative of consciousness? But sure, if consciousness means skyscrapers and discussing religion, then humans are the only ones. But that seems like a strange and arbitrary definition of consciousness.

    1
  7290.  @Palestine4Ever169  No, again, atheism is the lack of theistic belief. It can include the belief that there are no gods, but doesn't have to in order to qualify for the "atheist" label. Agnosticism is also not mutually exclusive to either atheism or theism, as agnosticism just means that you don't claim to know that your position is correct.
    1
  7291.  @Palestine4Ever169  Buddhism doesn't include theistic belief but there's still belief in the supernatural involved. Atheism, once again, is just the lack of theistic belief. Not a belief in itself.

  7310. They immigrate to America and become successful because they have the means to do so. Meanwhile, slavery and the subsequent apartheid has robbed many black Americans of the ability to build generational wealth.

  7320. Coincidence has nothing to do with it. Life simply formed where it was able to form, and adapted to its environment. When it rains, is it a coincidence that the rainwater perfectly forms a puddle? Or is it just the result of a natural process?

  7325. But family-friendly drag shows aren't anything that kids need to be protected from.
    1
  7326. Or it could be that trans kids who have conservative parents don't tell their parents about it, for their own safety. There's no shortage of horror stories from trans people whose families denied they were trans, tried to send them to conversion therapy, and generally subjected them to abusive behavior.

  7329. Capitalism is currently not working.
    1
  7330.  @LiamMcNally-w7s  It's working for the select few people who can hoard the majority of the wealth in the world at the expense of everyone else. For everyone else, not so much. Basic human needs like housing, food, healthcare, and even planet habitability are all sacrificed in the name of profit for the wealthy few.

    1
  7345. Sin and morality are unrelated. The bible tells LGBTQ+ people to deny who they are. This is not good.
    1
  7346. Not that a god isn't real, but that belief isn't justified until there's evidence. And we do have evidence of evolution.
    1
  7347. They address different issues and because of that they are not mutually exclusive. Atheism/theism is the answer to the question of belief Agnosticism/gnosticism is the answer to the question of knowledge So an agnostic atheist is one who does not believe in any gods, but doesn't claim knowledge that there aren't any gods.

  7351.  @Mayisonlineeee  Trans women aren't making cis women less safe. A predator isn't going to pretend to transition to enter women's spaces, they can already just walk into a locker room or bathroom. This is the same kind of fear mongering that we saw around gay people decades ago. It's recycled bigotry.

  7352. That's okay, I like her enough for the both of us.

  7353. Is that really the hill you want to die on? Denying people the simple polite courtesy of a preferred pronoun?

  7354. What do you mean by "not supporting" it? Like do you think being gay is morally bad?
    1
  7355.  @Mel-wn9gb  True, transphobes don't have any facts on their side, only their demented ideology.

  7371. @Mat Maybe your morality is based on bronze age ideas of right and wrong, but mine isn't. And calling something you think is wrong "demonic" is just weird and has bizarre implications.
    1
  7372. @Mat I don't think most Christians realize just how weird their beliefs are. There's no fiends with horns and spiked tails going around getting people to watch porn.

  7378.  Raa16  My parents got divorced. Had they stayed together, they would have been unhappy, and I would have been unhappy too. Now they're been able to find new happiness with different partners. What is immoral about that?
    1
  7379. And how do you know that? Just imagining?
    1
  7380. I'm not convinced of the Christian supernatural claims. I can't accept what I don't believe. Evidence is required.
    1
  7381. The effective treatment for gender dysphoria is transitioning. The evidence for this is overwhelming. You can't compare this to affirming anorexic people, they are simply different conditions that need different treatments. To say otherwise is thoroughly unscientific.
    1
  7382. Impossible. Perhaps the archives are incomplete.

  7386. I can't stand zealots like you. You've replaced your brain with an ancient collection of myths.
    1
  7387. Do you think trans people just "become trans" when they turn 18? Do you think it's something they decide?
    1
  7388.  @President_Dontae  You're confusing being trans and transitioning. Not only that, you're confusing transitioning in general and specifically medically transitioning. Trans people don't choose to be trans, they just are. And transitioning isn't just medicine or surgery. It can be as simple as changing the way you dress.
    1
  7389. That's a paradoxical statement. You just said women aren't women.

    1
  7393.  @michaelstrohmaier402  Well for one thing, there's a huge class divide, with the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer.
    1
  7394.  @michaelstrohmaier402  It's not about financial education at this point. It's about the wealthy being able to exploit the poor. I am strongly in favor of the abolition of capitalism. I find it odd that you said you agreed with what I said earlier, but now you're saying that people who fail to make ends meet are "too weak for life". Seems like a weird social darwinistic sort of take.

    1
  7400.  @AutumnSkies10  I'm not being mean to any gods, I'm asking you about what you wrote in your comment. Does this god make trans people and then demand that they not transition because he just likes to see people suffer?
    1
  7401.  @AutumnSkies10  There's nothing "wrong" about transitioning, and hell isn't real.
    1
  7402.  @AutumnSkies10  And that reason is beause he wants them to suffer? I can't think of any other reason why a being would give people gender dysphoria and then demand that they don't transition. And damn okay, if it says so in a book then it must be true!

  7405. What's the reason for this particular law being there, in the way that it currently exists?
    1
  7406. I'm not arguing against the existence of all laws. I just believe we should think about whether or not specific laws are truly just. For example, in the United States, drugs are highly criminalized. Decriminalizing some of them may decrease the influence these cartels have as their illegal drug production becomes largely obsolete.

  7433. What's that supposed to mean?
    1
  7434.  @crate249  The Spanish flu was named that because the media was forced to underrepresent the amount of cases in the US, UK, Germany, and France, in order to keep morale up during the first World War. They were free to report on the situation in Spain, which gave rise to a false notion that it was especially prevalent there, or even originated there. Which it appears you've bought into as well. There's usually political reasons for insisting that a disease be named after a location. Reasons I strongly disagree with.

    1
  7440. Cool, how do you know literally any of that actually happened? The only source you have is an ancient book of myths.
    1
  7441. If you started a cult, would you demand unquestioning belief and adherence? Because that seems like a pretty logical thing for a cult to demand. But if you actually were an all-powerful being, I feel like the most efficient way of convincing people of that would be to do some amazing supernatural impossible stuff.
    1
  7442. Geologists disagree with you about the flood, as does the fact that Egypt and China were thriving when the world was supposedly entirely submerged in water. And the 2019 thing is meant to prove what exactly? Because all it seems to demonstrate to me is the success of the cult of Christianity. And if it doesn't make sense until you turn off your brain and just decide to believe, then you shouldn't believe it.
    1
  7443. Just because it's written down doesn't mean it happened.

  7449.  @ArthurCSchaperMR  So if you took a chromosome test and it turned up XX, you'd transition on the spot? Do you even know for a fact what chromosomes you have? Surely you must have, if it's so important that you "live your life in concert" with them.

  7453. "Not pristine" is putting it extremely mildly. The United States of America is a country built on genocide and exploitation. And the latter is still done to this very day through capitalism, and more specifically through the prison industrial complex (as the thirteenth amendment specifically makes an exception for people convicted of a crime).

    1
  7480.  @Povertycab  Well you seem to be implying that the working class exists solely of conservative people. And that in a world without the conservative mind, no one would work. That makes no sense.
    1
  7481.  @Povertycab  Sure, because of US spending decades propagandizing to their people to support policies that go against their own interests. It hasn't been that long since the Cold War, where people were literally ratted out to the feds by their neighbors if they had communist or socialist leanings, and capitalism and piety where put forth as these important American ideals. But there's no inherent reason why a working class person would lean conservative. If anything, a working class person who has their own interests at heart would be a leftist.
    1
  7482.  @Povertycab  I never mentioned liberals.

  7483. You don't need evidence for something to be true. But people who value truth need evidence before they believe something.

  7485. I'd be just as annoyed if there was some guy going around the comment section going "UHH ACTUALLY being gay isn't real, the tooth fairy told me"

  7492. @Çaesar I comment on all sorts of videos. I do find theism to be a fascinating concept though. It's wild to me that people can believe in such a thing without demonstrable evidence, and even hold completely abhorrent and irrational views on fellow human beings as a result of said belief.

  7511.  @JESUSLOVESYOU219  Yeah, I'm aware that that's what you believe. Doesn't make it true though. And doesn't mean there's anything actually wrong with being gay.

    1
  7515. @jaydenivory596  That it's homophobic, because it still tries to imply that being gay is "wrong". Otherwise what's the point of the Adam and Steve bit in the first place?

  7529.  @tylermartin6372  There's always exceptions to the rule, but you can't deny that it's a LOT easier to attain wealth when you've got some from your family to begin with. This is true of billionaires like Gates, Musk and Bezos too, as much as they like to pretend otherwise.
    1
  7530.  @janieswanson2549  Yeah, I know how much you hate it when people disagree with you.
    1
  7531.  @tylermartin6372  If someone is born in a dirt poor village with no prospects for education and has to struggle to get basic necessities, are they gonna get a million dollar house if they work hard enough? Statistically, I'd say it's extremely unlikely.
    1
  7532.  @tylermartin6372  That leads to the frankly pretty harmful idea that anyone who's in poverty just "doesn't want it enough". Do you think someone like a sweatshop worker in Bangladesh barely making enough to feed themselves and their family is just not sufficiently motivated to improve their life? The idea that anyone can make it is a nice one, but it's not realistic, and pretending it's the case leads people to ignore very real barriers to improving your standing in life.

    1
  7546.  @Islander05  Of course it's our business. One person hoarding gargantuan amounts of wealth comes at everyone else's expense. That money comes from the working class, after all, they're the ones working for it. It's so bizarre the way you keep coming here to defend the ultra-wealthy. Do you hold the delusional belief that you'll one day be one of them? Or do you just love the taste of capitalist boot?

  7565. If this Jesus supposedly wants a relationship with every single human, it's odd that he seems as dead as every other bronze age historical figure in every way. And a tree is not an article.

  7665. The justice system is not there for us to "attain a sense of justice". It's there to prevent crime, to separate dangerous individuals from society, and if possible, to rehabilitate. To have a system where victims of a crime can choose to have the defendant killed is completely asinine, as it would largely be based on emotion.
    1
  7666. Is murder ever justified?

  7676. What's your point?

  7686. I highly doubt we're influencing the universe at all besides our own planet.
    1
  7687. "Atheism is true" is a nonsensical statement. Atheism isn't a set of claims or beliefs, it's the position of nonbelief in theistic claims. And the question "who is Jesus?" is only a vital one if you already have the Christian conclusion in mind.
    1
  7688. Atheism can't be "false" though. That's the point I'm trying to make. It's not making any claims of its own. I agree that we should try to get as accurate an understanding of the universe as we possibly can, but I don't think we currently have enough evidence to justify arriving at the position that a god exists. And I don't see the popularity of a supernatural claim as grounds to take it more seriously. Jesus allegedly claimed to be God, according to an ancient collection of texts. I could go out and find someone claiming to be God who's alive right now. I don't see any reason to take either claim seriously. There's only anything riding on the question if it's actually true. If I told you right now that your house would catch on fire in the next 7 days unless you sang "Camptown Races" to the front door for 10 minutes, you wouldn't take that seriously at all, I would assume. But if the claim was correct, your home would depend on it.
    1
  7689. Atheism is definitely a neutral position. The default position for any claim is nonbelief. If I claimed that I had a red dragon as a pet, you would probably not believe me. But that non-belief wouldn't be something you'd need to back up, it would be up to me to prove that I do have one. As for your evidence, what does "the universe coming from nothing" have to do with the existence of a god? And why would the only alternative to abiogenesis be divine creation?
    1
  7690. "On the science, children are born with what has been called a "God gene" - an expectation of God. Atheism is not the default state of the human mind." Looks to be apologetics based on the misrepresentation of a study, from what I can quickly see. The truth is that atheism is the default position. No one's born believing in a god. We instinctually look for patterns and sapience, though. We see faces in clouds and wallpaper because being paranoid about predators hiding in bushes was a trait that tended to pay off when humanity was not quite at the top of the food chain. "Sociologically, atheism as a historical phenomena is statistically non-existent. Atheism is the deviation from the norm." The majority of people can be wrong about something. Especially when said majority has had a history of murdering unbelievers. People used to take blasphemy pretty seriously. "Logically, there is no neutral ground, especially if we posit a godless universe - there is no set standard defining  "this is neutral, and that is not." Nothing beyond your own arbitrary preferences. In your case, you've created criteria for neutrality that assume absence of something is more neutral than presence of something. But you have no more right to assert your claim to neutrality than anyone else. It is an artificial claim - a word game, at best." Honestly not even sure what you're getting at here, please elaborate. "On that last point, take the time to answer your own question about God and the universe. Do the thought experiment yourself. “what does "the universe coming from nothing" have to do with the existence of a god?” Stretch yourself for a bit, think about it openly for an hour and come back with your draft ideas. You may be surprised where the logic leads you." Cool, it looks like you found a way to avoid answering the question while looking really smug about it! I'll rephrase: why assume that "the universe came from nothing" and "the universe were created by a god" are the only two possible options? How do you know either of those are possible options?

  7692.  @juanitaniangjohnson6504  But we are entitled to the wealth that the ultra-wealthy have hoarded. After all, they did not work for it themselves, the working class did. Capitalism allows the rich to own the means of production and as a results make more money simply by owning something. This can only result in the ever-growing divide between rich and poor that we see today.

  7693.  @Islander05  Here's a cool idea. What if the workers owned the means of production?

  7694.  @juanitaniangjohnson6504  I am not talking legal rights here, I'm talking moral ones. The ultra wealthy didn't work for their wealth, the people working for them did. Under a fair and just system they would get the full value of their labor.

  7695.  @Islander05  Why do you never answer my questions about why you defend the rich so eagerly?

  7697. Why though?

  7698.  @Fuquuuuu  No, you did though. Do you really not think you deserve the full value of your labour?
    1
  7699.  @Fuquuuuu  Just because something's modest work doesn't mean you don't deserve that that work is worth.

  7700. Atheism and agnosticism are not mutually exclusive. Most atheists are also agnostic. Theism: The belief in one or more gods. Atheism: The lack or absence of belief in gods. Gnosticism: The claim of knowledge about the existence or non-existence of a god or gods. Agnosticism: The lack or absence of claim of knowledge about the existence or non-existence of a god or gods.

  7704. Correction, you believe it's true. Knowledge is demonstrable.
    1
  7705. That makes no sense whatsoever. And I didn't say truth is subjective or a belief. Just that you can't claim to know what's true about the bible's undemonstrable supernatural claims. Because you don't know. You only strongly believe you do.

  7708. The law is a social construct. I follow it because not following it has consequences, because my fellow human beings will react accordingly. And air is demonstrable. We can look at the molecules and put it in a bottle. Gods are more like laws than they are like air.

    1
  7754.  @clayjhall  I legitimately cannot imagine having this much faith in people whose one goal is to make themselves richer to give people what they need in life. You're still arguing against public healthcare when most of Europe has that handled and people in the US are avoiding ambulances because they can't pay the bill afterwards. Enjoy your cyberpunk dystopia if these ideas win out in the long run, but I'm hoping they won't.

  7758. Why are you defending billionaires? It's not like you'll ever be one. If you're against people making money unethically, you should be against billionaires, because there's no way to ethically hoard such a gargantuan amount of wealth. There's no amount of work a person can do to earn a billion dollars. It can only be taken through the labor of others.

  7759. Religious scientists exist, but religious belief is still inherently unscientific.

  7772. I mean, I wouldn't even say a god could exist until it's demonstrated that one could.
    1
  7773. I agree. But saying a god can exist is also something that should be demonstrated before it is accepted. Because I have no idea if it's possible for a god to exist or not.
    1

    1
  7788. If the bible says it's wrong to be gay, that's just evidence that it's not a good guide for morality.
    1
  7789. Because being gay is not a choice and doesn't hurt anyone.
    1
  7790. You're mistaken. And if whether or not something is "right" isn't based on morality, what are you basing it on?
    1
  7791. What leads you to the conclusion that it's morally wrong?
    1
  7792. Do you really think blindly following an ancient document is a good way to arrive at conclusions of right and wrong?
    1
  7793. So you believe it's morally wrong to be gay because you believe in the Adam and Eve myth, and because of a really contrived analogy with the trinity? There is just so much I have a problem with here, wow.
    1
  7794. Sure it is. Because the morality of any action is not measured by what an ancient book says about it, but by the consequences of said action. For example, entering into a consenting romantic and sexual relationship with an adult of the same gender hurts no one, and as such, is amoral. Demanding that gay people stay celibate, on the other hand, will make it harder for them to be happy, making it immoral.
    1
  7795. No, because while you may attain happiness from being racist, the racism is detrimental towards the groups you're racist against.
    1
  7796. I'm not attacking anyone. Just pointing out that it's okay to be gay. And the next time YouTube recommends me a video where a bunch of Jewish or Muslim people say being gay is bad I'll call them out too.
    1
  7797. Dunno, I've seen plenty of self-described gay Christians. Should I take your word over theirs that they're Christians? I don't really care about religious purity.
    1
  7798. How is a zygote or an early-stage fetus a person? Not an attack, just asking a question.

  7800. I have morals, that's why I'm not a conservative.
    1
  7801. I don't know of the existence of any gods. No ancient book knows what's in my head better than I do.
    1
  7802. Complexity is not indicative of design. Design is recognized in contrast to what occurs naturally.
    1
  7803. And I'm just telling you that the claim that a god exists has not been demonstrated to be true. The existence of human beings is not evidence for a supernatural creator.
    1
  7804. As a leftist I'm tolerant of all people based on who they are. The things they didn't choose. But when people have shitty beliefs, yeah those should get criticized. Not really sure how this is relevant though, according to the video the guy is a liberal.
    1
  7805.  @sunshine2049  Who said I'm a liberal?
    1
  7806.  @sunshine2049  Liberalism and leftism aren't the same thing. Liberalism is more of a center right position. They're only considered "the left" in the context of American politics because the Overton Window is so far to the right.
    1
  7807. That's not how that works.

  7840. They would, but they'd be miserable. Would that be preferable to you?

  7841.  @eddubs688  Because people aren't "made trans" by their parents. We know this from all the trans people who grew up with reactionary and transphobic parents.

  7850.  @virginiaayala3631  How am I supposed to "pray with a humble heart" to something I'm not convinced is real? Can you humbly make a plea to Bigfoot in a way that is sincere?

    1
  7863. It's not self-centered to want your life to be in your own hands.
    1
  7864. Is it self-centered for a slave to refuse to submit to the person who bought them?
    1
  7865. A slave has the choice to rebel, it's just that that choice tends to be met with severe punishment. And from what I hear from Christians, refusal to submit to their god leads to eternal punishment. So I fail to see the difference.
    1
  7866. "The world" is sadly not as LGBTQ+ positive as you seem to think it is. Plenty of people still hold terribly ignorant and bigoted positions. Mostly religious people. Hence the dislike of what you call "genuine Christians".
    1
  7867. Why are people against homosexuality? Ignorance, mostly. Largely based on ancient superstitions. It's funny how you keep reducing homosexuality to anal sex. Almost like you're kind of preoccupied by it. You do realize lesbians exist? And that plenty of straight couples are into butt stuff?
    1
  7868. Is he? He never seemed particularly pious until his foray into politics. Whatever happened to that thing in the bible about looking lustfully at women? Or that thing about a camel going through the eye of a needle?
    1
  7869. Or the people who never even got the chance?
    1
  7870.  @drrd4127  But cisgender is an adjective. When you're referred to as a cis woman, you're being referred to as a woman. Specifically, a woman who is cis.
    1
  7871. Figuring stuff out with our brain has been proven to be pretty reliable. It's the reason we're able to communicate over vast distances like this. If some claim requires that you "become like a child", they're essentially saying you should refrain from any kind of critical thinking. Why would you do that?
    1
  7872. Trump was born into a wealthy and well-connected family, got a "small loan of a million dollars", stayed wealthy despite numerous bankruptcies, and he's at the helm of the party that "works for everything they have"? Give me a break.

  7880. @Joxar There's nothing intelligent about conservatism. This can objectively be demonstrated by more educated people having consistently more liberal political views, statistically speaking. Conservative media outlets know this too, which is why the whole "wOkE mArXiStS aRe InFiLtRaTiNg CoLlEgEs!!!" conspiracy theory exists. Conservatives do love their conspiracy theories.

  7892.  @Nanofuture87  It's funny that you say this now, while progressive protestors are being shot with "less lethal" ammo in the streets of LA and the CIA propaganda machine is hard at work making it look like Cubans are being oppressed while supposedly protesting against socialism. The US is already oppressive and authoritarian, and the far right is trying to make it even moreso. Socialists are trying to prevent that.

  7920. Because socially we recognize gender, not biology. The overwhelming majority of people don't even know for sure what chromosomes they have. I mean, do you know yours? Have you checked? Because there's people out there who don't fit into the XX and XY boxes. If we're going to do away with gendered spaces, then we should just be rid of them, and not try to introduce weird and unnecessary chromosomal spaces to take their place.

  7941.  @enaxie  Random kids on the internet are "the media" now? What are you even talking about? Pretty sure "the media" tends to refer to actual journalistic companies. If you mean social media, that does tend to lean progressive, but mostly because the general population tends to, or at least the ones that use social media. Not that even that is actually synonymous with "the left" though, because leftists are routinely banned from social media as well. Claiming that "the media silences anyone right leaning" is just false though. On platforms like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc there's plenty of far right accounts and channels that unfortunately continue to spread their ideas. And in mainstream media there's very far right-leaning channels like Fox News.
    1
  7942. See, the thing is, it's not actually good for us as a species to be scrambling and shoving against each other to climb that financial ladder. Anyone could, potentially, become a millionaire.

    1
  7950.  @fMONA94  You know that conception requires a sperm cell, right? What is it about conception that flips the switch from 'not a human being' to 'a human being'? Why are you okay with sperm cells dying in a used condom but not with the death of a zygote?
    1
  7951.  @fMONA94  What about a zygote? A newly fertilized egg cell?
    1
  7952.  @fMONA94  So which one actually matters, being a complex organism or being fertilized? Any sperm cell is a potential human life if it can get to an egg cell.

  7958.  @nunybznz7561  How is that a fact, though? That's just your belief. Facts are by definition demonstrable.
    1
  7959.  @nunybznz7561  No, I don't believe that a god exists. For you to try and tell me what I believe or know is quite dishonest. Even if your favorite book asserts otherwise. In any case, you keep saying this is factual but you haven't actually demonstrated that theism is true. Saying "well who created the sky and the grass" is not demonstrable evidence for theism.
    1
  7960.  @nunybznz7561  Historical events are accepted when the evidence for them is good enough. For many things, there's historical evidence from multiple sources that tell the same story, to the point where it not being the case is incredibly unlikely. However, Christianity's supernatural claims fly directly in the face of our scientific understanding of the world. People are not known to revive after several days of being dead. When an ancient writing says such an event occured, Occam's Razor dictates that a far more likely explanation would be that someone wimply wrote down a ficticious story. Perhaps portions of the story were true and others weren't. Maybe the person didn't actually die but was only injured. Maybe the revived person they saw was someone else. But when an ancient writing tells of something that seems impossible, we can't simply accept that it's true. It would have to be demonstrated scientifically that coming back from the dead after multiple days is possible in the first place.

  7968.  @SydtheSquid112  In your own bathroom, you can decide what happens. In public bathrooms, trans men use the men's room and trans women use the women's room.
    1
  7969.  @SydtheSquid112  As long as public bathrooms are divided by gender, trans women use women's rooms because they're women, and trans men use the men's room because they're men. I'm all for making bathrooms unisex but that's not really my decision.

  7974. Inventing a god is easy. Humans exist. Humans have the potential to create using their hands, and command using their words. Some humans are stronger and more intelligent than others. So one can imagine a human who is the strongest, the most intelligence, has the greatest ability to create and speaks the ultimate commands.

  8012. I'm not aware of any of your replies to my comments. And I'm just correcting your incorrect views.

  8013. The views that being gay means you should arbitrarily stay celibate, don't get married, and never be able to raise children of your own, just because an ancient book says so.
    1
  8014. No. Are you about to tell me that my non-Christianity makes my opinion invalid? Because I would disagree.
    1
  8015. I'm not saying anything about what is and isn't sin. Sin is an entirely religious concept, and is quite meaningless to me. I simply abhor homophobia and I think any expression of it should be met with criticism. Particularly these views of "I don't hate them, I just think they shouldn't be happy" are quite prevalent attempts at divorcing anti-LGBTQ+ religious views from their stigma, and I think that stigma is right where it belongs.
    1
  8016. What do you mean by "force-feeding"?
    1
  8017. I'm just giving criticism for what I consider either unsubstantiated beliefs, or morally abhorrent views. I realize they're unlikely to change anyone's mind, but I still find it important to criticize these religious beliefs, especially when those beliefs cause them to discriminate against people of a certain sexuality.

  8050.  @IssyFishyy  It's not even a little safe to infer that
    1
  8051.  @IssyFishyy  Design doesn't always lead to something complex. I could design a brick. Also, here's another fun one. My cat pissing on the floor creates a puddle. After it rains, there are puddles everywhere. It is safe to infer that rain is piss from my cat.
    1
  8052.  @IssyFishyy  Then literally everything is complex and the term becomes functionally meaningless.
    1
  8053.  @IssyFishyy  So then, everything just has to have a designer by default? Nothing non-designed can exist, ever?
    1
  8054.  @IssyFishyy  Special pleading. If you wanna claim that everything that exists needs a designer, that applies to your designer too.
    1
  8055. ​ @IssyFishyy  Because people came up with a catchy name. You claimed that all things need a creator. Then you claimed the creator doesn't. Special pleading. People wouldn't tell you that a million times if you'd listened the first time.
    1
  8056.  @IssyFishyy  So when you say everything natural needs a cause. How do you know that's the case? And how do you know that case is a god? Or that it's even possible for that case to be a god? And if all natural things are designed, doesn't that make them no longer natural?
    1
  8057.  @IssyFishyy  Okay, how do you know that things "with limits" must be caused by a god? And how do you know it's possible for this "limitless being" to exist?
    1
  8058.  @IssyFishyy  Not necessarily. A planet could form as a result of an unguided natural process, and it wouldn't have existed forever. Why is "a god made it" the default explanation of all naturally occuring things?
    1
  8059.  @IssyFishyy  The default explanation is "I don't know". For "God did it" to be an explanation, God would need to be demonstrated to exist.
    1
  8060.  @IssyFishyy  Non-sentience does not necessitate creation by a sentient being. Anyway, I'm tired of this back and forth, so last reply.

  8085.  @karenmaher2092  Jobs can exist without capitalists being involved. Just look at worker co-ops.
    1
  8086.  @tacobell1365  The simple fact is that wealthy private individuals have an infinitely easier amount of time putting in the starting capital than a group of workers. Co-ops are better for workers and for wealth equity than traditional businesses but under the system of capitalism they still have to compete with said businesses. And the rift between rich and poor has had such a long time to grow that it is now hard to reduce.

  8102.  @yifanwang7136  The democratic party in the US isn't really left-leaning, more center-right. There's no real political representation for the left in the US. The democratic party tends to be more progressive, sure, but they still support capitalism.

  8113. Why do you feel bad for atheists?
    1
  8114. You mean pressuring women to go through a pregnancy? You know it's not just a matter of women not having the means to raise a kid, right? It's about bodily autonomy. The state shouldn't be able to demand that your body be host to a fetus.
    1
  8115.  @sufisuf1975  The accurate terminology is "fetus". If we're calling any genetic offspring a child regardless of the stage of development, we should outlaw menstruation, as it kills a perfectly viable egg cell which could grow into a living child. Sure it'd be uncomfortable for a woman to be pregnant for practically all of her adult life, but isn't a child's life waaaaayyyyy more important?
    1
  8116. Why not?

  8120. Toxic masculinity is a "fallacy"? What do you mean?
    1
  8121. You don't believe cultural expectations of masculinity can manifest itself in harmful behavior?
    1
  8122. I'm talking about the way men are encouraged by society to behave.
    1
  8123. Example: Men are told, explicitly or implicitly, that a "real man" is emotionally stoic. This can prevent men from seeking help after a traumatic experience and can lead to things like depression and addiction. Or for another example, the idea that a "real man" is sexually aggressive, and exclusively straight. And that failing to be both of these things means you're not a "real man". This can lead men to pretending to be someone they're not to avoid losing status among his peers.
    1
  8124. There's absolutely a lot of progress being made against toxic masculinity, but it's still very much present. For a clear example you only need to look at the social environment inside a prison. Also, all words are made up.

  8128. You are completely deranged.
    1
  8129. What cases?
    1
  8130. Atheism is the lack of belief in a god or gods.
    1
  8131. No, that's not the case. Lacking a belief in something is not the same as believing something does not exist. As the existence of a god is not something I can investigate, it's impossible to make a claim whether or not it exists.
    1
  8132. Sounds like something you would prefer to be true.
    1
  8133. I don't support it for two major reasons: - It's unnecessary to take someone's life when imprisoning them already separates them from the rest of society. - Mistakes can be made, and when an innocent person is executed for a crime they didn't commit, that can't be reversed.
    1
  8134. Your little quote seems to be specifically talking about men, though.
    1
  8135. Ah heck I can't read Oh well, the bible says all sorts of things. You can make anything look bad with an out-of-context bible quote, from shellfish to figs.

  8136. Do you just have like a folder of these pre-written messages for people who you think aren't doing your religion correctly?
    1
  8137. Sure, most people are cis. But that doesn't invalidate the existence of trans, intersex, and nonbinary people.
    1
  8138. Yeah, I'm putting my values above those that were thought up over two thousand years ago.

  8139.  @itstriplem2069  Why though? Like what's the point?
    1
  8140. You know, I've done some research, and it turns out shoes are actually slowly killing us! It's all a conspiracy by Big Shoes. My family and I have been living barefoot now for years and the occasional glass shard or infected wound is worth the peace of mind that my feet are no longer wrapped in dangerous chemicals and aborted fetuses. /s if it wasn't obvious lmao

  8141. Trans women are women who are trans.
    1
  8142. Humans are "meant to" adhere to arbitrary traditions and hierarchies? Is this some kind of religious argument?
    1
  8143. Incorrect. Nobody chooses who they're attracted to.
    1
  8144. It's sad that Christianity is so misanthropic at its core.
    1
  8145. I don't think anyone means "morally perfect" when they say someone is "good". If someone dedicated their life to helping those in need, but doesn't thank the bus driver, that doesn't make him suddenly not a good person. If you meant "perfect" you should've just said perfect.

  8149. If something is unobservable and has no evidence, why would you ever believe that it's real?
    1
  8150. But why would you trust this "experience" over your senses?

  8151. So anyone who breaks the law should be dehumanized? That's disgusting.

  8152. Muneer, you may not believe me, but I'm a magical money fairy, I made all the money in the world. Don't believe me? Open your wallet. Simple.
    1
  8153. If something isn't made by humans, why is your default assumption that a god made it? What evidence leads you to that conclusion?
    1
  8154. But what evidence do you have that a god even exists? You need to demonstrate its existence before you try to use it as an explanation for observed phenomena.
    1
  8155. How do you know that what's in the Quran is actually true? And I never stated that god isn't real, that's not my position. I simply don't believe in one.
    1
  8156. I don't claim that there is no god. But I don't believe in one. There's a difference. I'll give an analogy. Suppose you see a very big jar of gumballs. You don't know how many gumballs are in there but you know that there's either an even or an odd amount of gumballs. If someone else took one look at the jar and claimed that the amount is odd, you probably wouldn't immediately believe them. But, if you don't believe them, that doesn't mean you now believe that the amount is even. It simply means you reject the claim that the amount is odd. I hope that made sense.

  8160. Do you ask for evidence of someone's chromosomes before accepting their gender? If not, you agree that sex and gender are seperate.
    1
  8161. Please link me a recent scientific study that says that.
    1
  8162. Well, you made a claim. I asked you to fulfill the burden of proof for that claim.
    1
  8163. I don't believe I said any such thing. Now, can you show a scientific study that backs up your assertion?
    1
  8164. Are you going to keep trying to avoid your burden of proof? When you said "any questions???", I assumed there would actually be answers.
    1
  8165. Chromosomes determine sex, not gender. And even then, sex isn't exclusively binary. Intersex people exist.

  8166. They should both make enough to pay their rent, groceries, etc.

  8170.  @nigellopezmichael6077  Agnosticism is separate from the atheism/theism thing. It just means that you don't claim to know that your position is correct. You can be an agnostic theist or an agnostic atheist.

    1
  8178.  @dhisufiroafrozenseraphimdragon  By loving your country, do you mean the people? The state? The culture? And yeah, I guess I should've figured it came down to the irrational compulsion to preserve fetuses that some people seem to have.

  8187. How is socialism in any way incompatible with those things?

  8188.  @notmillennial4854  But why don't you want socialism? What's so great about the private ownership of the means of production?
    1
  8189.  @notmillennial4854  Alright, fair enough.
    1
  8190. Ugh, nobody likes a YouTube comment preacher. How do you expect unbelievers to "give God a chance" anyway? We literally don't believe such a thing exists, we can't just try being convinced when we're not.

  8191. You know, by being born there? People generally don't choose to live under a capitalist system. And it doesn't in any way prevent them from criticizing said system for its many failings.

    1
  8210.  @ianjjackson  Capitalism is about taking someone else's money that they worked hard for. That's literally at the core of it. The concept that the means of production can be privately owned means that those who own said means of production will take wealth from those who work for it.

  8215.  @brookec8837  Hormone blockers haven't been demonstrated to slow brain development during the several decades now that they've been prescribed. Just because something's "natural" doesn't mean it's automatically beneficial. If the goal is to prevent changes that could cause irreversible damage, it seems prudent for a transgender teen to delay puberty so they can make an informed decision when they're older without their body going through any permanent hormone-induced changes just yet.
    1
  8216.  @brookec8837  Interesting how there wasn't a peep about these "concerns" in the several decades that puberty blockers were being prescribed before trans kids started getting them.

  8232. Compared to a normal person's wealth that's like buying someone a cup of coffee. And it doesn't make up for the gargantuan amount of wealth they've hoarded.
    1
  8233.  @Islander05  I give to charity, John. I don't have millions, so I can't give millions. But people who have hoarded billions of dollars giving a few million to charity doesn't make up for what they've taken. Especially considering with that kind of money they could absolutely wipe out major issues. Imagine the housing development that could be done to do something about homelessness for example. But that's not what they want to do, of course.
    1
  8234.  @Islander05  Do you realize how much a billion dollars is? Can you really justify hoarding that much money, money that others worked for as no one can work for that much money alone, and only giving a handful of it back to society?
    1
  8235.  @Islander05  I want billionaires to not exist.

  8264.  MoonCrow  I wouldn't say I'm being a complete jerk.
    1
  8265.  MoonCrow  Aw, thanks! ❤️ Most of us really aren't so bad. I don't know in what kind of area you live, but atheists who live in more religious areas tend to have a bit more of a chip on their shoulder about it. Here in the Netherlands irreligiosity is kind of the norm, outside of the bible belt at least. And most people just have sort of a live-and-let-live attitude around it. I don't see how I'm being a complete jerk though. I mean sure, I'm not being polite, but it's not like I'm actively making fun of Timsetto's religious beliefs. Just the idea that Christians are some kind of oppressed class, which is hilarious because not only are they not, in the US and parts of Europe they're actually very privileged. I mean sure, you'll see Christian beliefs being criticized in comment sections like this one more, but that's because people who watch these videos are more likely to have been exposed to Christianity a lot more than to other religions. I'd say that at least in the US Muslims face a lot more discrimination, to the point where people face Islamophobia just for appearing Middle-Eastern.

And the US might be a secular country (thankfully) but you still have one of the two political parties pandering openly to Christian conservatives while demonizing Muslims and atheists. Some Christians might feel like they're being victimized by things like LGBTQ+ rights but that's just what equality feels like when you're used to privilege.

  8296. Christians exist on the same planet as me. This is trivially easy to demonstrate. But no one has ever demonstrated that a god exists. So do that first, and then we can talk about repenting and all that.

  8297. Anyone can claim something exists in "another dimension". Doesn't mean it's true. Demonstrate it or it's all empty words.

  8298. So you'll tell people to believe what you do, but you don't feel like backing up anything you're saying. Pretty typical.

  8301.  @egodumpster  See, when you say "we're all sinners" you're basically saying that nobody's perfect, and that being gay is an imperfection, or a flaw. It's not. And you thinking it is, is homophobic.

  8328. Supporting women includes supporting trans women. Not arbitrarily excluding them. In sports, opportunities are won, not given. When trans people play sports against others of their gender, they do so only after going through sufficient hormone therapy, after which they perform on similar levels to their cisgender peers. So no, no opportunities were "taken".
    1
  8329.  @sohailahaithem2424  Of course it does. Trans women are women who are trans.

  8331.  @_darkkstar_  Of course it should.

  8332. You don't want kids to be educated, you only want them to be indoctrinated. Sad.

  8333. What choices are you referring to? Entering a romantic relationship with someone of the same gender? Getting married to them? Why wouldn't you support these things? Just because a book says so?
    1
  8334. Trans women are using women's spaces, yes. Because they're women. But they're not going in there to be creeps or to hurt anyone.

  8335. So you support the use of puberty blockers, I take it?

  8336. Most rich people are conservative. Because they want to keep being rich. Not complicated.

  8337. Why? Seems like the cops are getting a ton of funding that could be used to prevent crime more effectively elsewhere.

  8338. Most of all of existence is hostile to life. The vast majority of species has gone extinct. If this universe is designed for life, it's a very strange design with a big focus on death.
    1
  8339. Toxic masculinity means an expression of masculinity that's harmful. Like an idea that a "real man" should be sexually aggressive, or that having interests that are seen as feminine makes one a "pussy". Both men and women can take part in it.
    1
  8340. We don't need a conservative anything.
    1
  8341. Why? That seems kind of irrational.
    1
  8342. In a seemingly infinite universe, something that has a low chance of occuring is practically guaranteed to happen. Rolling a dice and getting a 6, and repeating that 19 more times in a row is incredibly unlikely. But with infinite rolls, the chance becomes 100%.
    1
  8343. In my dice roll scenario, would rolling a six 20 times in a row make it plausible that a dice god exists?
    1
  8344. See, here's the thing. Rolling a six 20 times in a row would be very unlikely. But if I rolled a die 20 times right now, whatever outcome I get would be equally unlikely. The one where it's all sixes stands out because it's more meaningful to us. A reality where life as we know it exists on earth is just as likely as any other reality. But the reality where life as we know it exists on earth has meaning to us.
    1
  8345. I roll the die twenty times. The results are: 3, 1, 1, 5, 6, 3, 5, 2, 6, 1, 4, 6, 2, 1, 1, 4, 5, 3, 2, 6. This specific outcome is just as unlikely as one with all sixes.
    1
  8346. The version of earth and life on it we observe existing is just as likely as any other specific version of earth.

  8347. Nobody's saying they're not allowd to support Trump. But supporting someone is a conscious action, and actions can be criticized. Especially if those actions result in harm.

  8357.  @criptard  This current reactionary transphobic moral panic, the various meaningless "culture war" outrages about syrup bottles and light beer endorsements and the like, anti-immigration stances, anti-public education stances or even anti-education in general, the obsession with being able to own a gun despite the prevalence of firearms drastically increasing the likelihood of gun violence. Is that enough for now?

  8360.  IssyFishyy  It's completely arbitrary to think of sperm cells and egg cells as inhuman, unfeeling non-humans but to then consider a zygote a person.
    1
  8361.  IssyFishyy  I said person, not human. A sperm cell is as human as a zygote, which is as human as an embryo, etc. What makes it murder is personhood, which a fetus lacks.
    1
  8362.  IssyFishyy  Sperm cells are alive. Is it genocide to nut into a condom?
    1
  8363.  IssyFishyy  I'm just wondering what kind of magical thing happens where a sperm cell is alive but utterly disposable and non-human, and then it swims up into an egg cell and literally that very second it becomes a human being with rights.
    1
  8364.  IssyFishyy  That really doesn't answer my question. You've slapped the label "human life" on a combined egg and sperm cell, but haven't justified why that is now suddenly something that can be murdered.
    1
  8365.  IssyFishyy  Murder is the unlawful killing of another person.
    1
  8366.  @chiefskingdom_24  I wouldn't be able to have any opinion on the matter.

  8375. If you were in some accident and you woke up decades later only to find that the only way to save you was to transplant your brain into a fully androgynous robotic body with no sex characteristics or female biological traits whatsoever. Would you still be a woman? Would you still live as one, dress as one, use she/her pronouns?
    1
  8376.  @jonesiboybeastmode6857  are fictional.
    1
  8377. She. And cis is literally just an adjective that means you're not trans. It's not "cis-women", it's cis women. No one is saying you're not a woman.
    1
  8378.  @taylorjenkinsto2279  So you're just against the general concept of adjectives?
    1
  8379.  @taylorjenkinsto2279  I never chose the other adjectives that apply to me either though. That's not really how language works. I have a certain height, so I'm considered tall. I have no hair on my head, so I'm considered bald. I'm not trans, so I'm considered cis.
    1
  8380.  @taylorjenkinsto2279  What? It's literally just an adjective that's only used when it's relevant. No one's saying you're not a woman. You will still be referred to as a woman. The adjective cisgender is only relevant when making a distinction between cisgender and transgender people, as was done in the video. Just like I'm only referred to as tall when height is relevant to what's being talked about.

  8381.  @taylorjenkinsto2279  Her.

  8394. So what magical thing happens during conception that turns an utterly disposable gamete into a full-fledged human being with rights?
    1
  8395. What justification is there for elevating the rights of a non-sentient zygote with unique dna over those of its mother?
    1
  8396. But it is infringing on the mother's right to bodily autonomy. The mother, in this case, is a thinking feeling person. A zygote is not.
    1
  8397. Imagine a person. In their late twenties or early thirties maybe. Imagine their continued survival depended on them being connected to your circulatory system via a tube. This would be the only way for them to survive. Are you obligated to be connected to this stranger, and should the state mandate it? Or is it a matter of choice?
    1
  8398. If people really were picked solely based on their qualifications, we wouldn't get an endless stream of nothing but old white dudes. That's the point.

  8407. Plenty of atheists are happy people.

  8414.  @maleighlovesbroadway  Because we know how religion works. The reason it's still around is because childhood indoctrination is an explicit part of it.

  8415. No, you're right. It's much more sensible that the first human was magically spoken into existence, and his sexual partner was made from a piece of his skeleton. Who cares about science?
    1
  8416. Evolution is a scientific theory, meaning it is a hypothesis that has both met its burden of proof, and withstood the process of peer review. Ironic that you say I need to do research when you don't even know what a scientific theory is.

  8417. Evolution explains the diversity of life. It's a different thing from abiogenesis. You really ought to talk to a biologist sometime.

  8427. Capitalism is robbery, as the people who own the means of production profit off of the labor of the working class. What I'd like to see is public ownership of the means of production instead of private ownership. Democratized workplaces. Capitalism is to socialism what monarchy is to democracy.
    1
  8428.  @Panhandlecat  "Socialism is supported by the elite" lmao
    1
  8429.  @Panhandlecat  It's just so wrong that it betrays a complete lack of understanding of what socialism is. Do you honestly think the 1% would want anything other than the capitalism that has made them so gratuitously wealthy?
    1
  8430.  @Panhandlecat  So you have no idea what socialism means, got it.

  8431.  @Panhandlecat  You realize the democrats aren't socialists, right? Socialism isn't when you just have a bunch of taxes.

  8587. Are you sure? Seems to me that the history of America is built on genocide and slavery from the very start, and both of these are things that didn't work brilliantly for the people on the receiving end of them. And when people had the idea that maybe a category of people shouldn't be treated like property, half the country wanted to secede over it. It seems to me like division is built into the country's DNA. And while I'm not American myself, I can imagine that having such a blood-soaked history would make it difficult to have national pride for a country that did such awful things, and continues to do awful things today.

There's many highly creative trans people out there. Humanity gains nothing by making them miserable. In fact, it means we miss out on what they can contribute to society.
    1
  8614.  @zachman5150  Then why is their ability to do so being constantly eroded by these reactionary freaks? If they had their way, a trans person wouldn't even be able to use a public bathroom without going through the humiliating ordeal of using the opposite gender's bathroom, where they would be completely out of place. If they had their way, they wouldn't be able to participate in sports, an activity through which many people find a community and purpose. If they had their way, they'd be misgendered at their workplace and by their landlord with no recourse whatsoever. All these things add up to slowly make a trans person's existence more and more miserable, which is their goal. Also, whatever shitty little retort you're planning to copy and paste, I'm not interested. This comment was for the benefit of anyone else reading this thread.

  8701. Why?
    1
  8702. Why do some people get so upset over the term cis?
    1
  8703. She.
    1
  8704. True
    1
  8705. They're there for a discussion, not to preach.
    1
  8706. DNA is literally self-replicating. Nothing about the natural world points to a god, let alone your specific one. See, this is where preaching gets you. I can't take you seriously at all now.
    1
  8707. Asking a gay person to abandon their partner and be celibate is a ridiculous demand. Especially coming from someone who doesn't demonstrably exist.
    1
  8708. Oh boy, another moron joins the "durr homosexuality bad" squad.
    1
  8709. The bible contains claims that are simply demonstrably false. And people like you and Jeremy are completely unable to tell fact from fiction.
    1
  8710.  @willnitschke  Rising to the challenge of what exactly?
    1
  8711.  @willnitschke  And what exactly is it that capitalists do for society?
    1
  8712.  @Historia.Magistra.Vitae.  Mugging doesn't exist, people voluntarily give muggers their wallets at gunpoint.
    1
  8713.  @Historia.Magistra.Vitae.  The gun is homelessness, it's starvation, it's not being able to afford medicine. People accept crummy jobs that siphon the wealth their labor creates to the wealthy because their alternative is poverty.
    1
  8714.  @willnitschke  Read my comment. Sihpon the wealth their labor creates. Not the wealth they have. Because, again, it goes to the owner instead of the worker.
    1
  8715. It's an interesting thing to think about, though. Is killing someone acceptable when there's moral justification? Or when it's legally endorsed by the government? I wish the pro-death penalty had gotten into that aspect of it more.
    1
  8716. Are you sure about that, urlastchance?
    1
  8717. Per capita?
    1
  8718.  @alexpearson7693  Right.
    1
  8719. The "pro life" group is really just anti choice.
    1
  8720. I can tell why you're a Ben Shapiro fan. You used a lot of words to say very very little.

  8721. If I was a fetus, I wouldn't be sentient. So I wouldn't be able to make a decision.

  8723. Because charity doesn't work to meaningfully redistribute wealth to where it's needed. If Tim is a destructive force, I hope he helps us destroy capitalism.
    1
  8724. Trans men do compete against cis men.
    1
  8725. Who is this meant to convince exactly? Do you think people who don't believe in Christianity are just going to start believing based on this comment?
    1
  8726. ​ @jpc08109  They are. DNA does not define gender. Gender and sex are not the same thing.
    1
  8727.  @jpc08109  Nope, you're thinking of sex, not gender.

  8728. Data over anecdotes.

  8730. It's not to spite Trump. It's because between the two, Biden is the lesser of two evils. The two party system only lets people pick between center right and far right.

  8734. What if peaceful protest isn't enough?
    1
  8735. You do know that the singular "they" has been used for literal centuries, don't you?
    1
  8736. Assuming these myths are true, this god literally made the devil and makes no effort to stop any harmful stuff he's doing.
    1
  8737.  @mariabou7178  So? It would still be this god's responsibility. An alligator chooses to eat a toddler but they're still gonna arrest the person that set one loose in a kindergarten.
    1
  8738.  @ambernicolecollett  The scientific possibility of a "creator" hasn't been demonstrated. To attempt to use it to explain human existence is to try and explain a mystery by appealing to a bigger mystery.
    1
  8739.  @mollyambass7231  If.
    1
  8740.  @mollyambass7231  Definitely if. Theism has never been demonstrated to be true, let alone your specific religion. Which makes it even weirder to disregard the entire world in favor of it.
    1
  8741. What exactly is "not right" about being gay? It harms literally no one.
    1
  8742. @Megatronix I was not speaking to you. However, keep posting homophobic garbage like this and this new name won't stick around long, you know.
    1
  8743. @Megatronix It's a pity that YouTube's arcane moderation algorithms allow your homophobic garbage, but not my refutations thereof. At least your account will be gone soon, like the others before it. You might as well just save us all the trouble of doing this whole dance again and just stay gone next time.
    1
  8744. So then the next step is figuring out who's right.
    1
  8745. What's sad about being an atheist?
    1
  8746. It's not murder though. Because a fetus isn't a person yet.
    1
  8747. So people who cannot work should die?
    1
  8748. No, there's definitely dumb atheists out there. And I'm an agnostic atheist.
    1
  8749. Demons aren't real
    1
  8750.  @zachmoldowan4636  Oh, you're using demons in the figurative sense? I thought you meant like little evil creatures with horns.
    1
  8751.  @zachmoldowan4636  Don't worry, I guarantee that I won't encounter them.
    1
  8752. Losing jobs is fine in a system where you don't need to arbitrarily keep everyone employed. There's always going to be driven people. And automation will take care of the rest.
    1
  8753. That's empathy. It doesn't require any ghosts.
    1
  8754. Threats of hell aren't very effective non nonbelievers.
    1
  8755.  @lukemartin4819  Why do you want to be a millionaire?
    1
  8756.  @lukemartin4819  Sounds like socialism might be a match for you then! It's capitalism that keeps people working paycheck to paycheck in soul-destroying jobs to make someone else rich, after all.
    1
  8757.  @lukemartin4819  Why do you think it's never the answer?
    1
  8758.  @lukemartin4819  I'm not in favor of what the USSR had or anything like that. Why don't you think a society where the means of production are publically owned can work?
    1
  8759.  @lukemartin4819  The risk would be taken collectively by the workers instead of a private individual who takes the profit.
    1
  8760.  @lukemartin4819  Yeah, and that already exists within capitalism as worker co-ops. Every worker is equally part owner of the business. Unfortunately most workers are still exploited in privately owned companies where profit is considered more important than anything else, and the workers are paid the least amount that they can get away with.
    1
  8761.  @jacobsecrist728  I don't want everyone to make the exact same amount. I want everyone to make enough.
    1
  8762. But will we?
    1
  8763. Just search "cis Latin"
    1
  8764. Why?
    1
  8765. Abortion at that stage is only really done out of medical necessity. Why would someone who doesn't want to be pregnant just wait around for months until an abortion becomes much more difficult?
    1
  8766. It didn't happen to them personally, but it has had repercussions since then in the form of Jim Crow laws, redlining, etc.
    1
  8767. Literally no business can exist that pays its employees enough to live off of? Sounds like a good argument against businesses if it's true.

  8769. How do you have a relationship witj someone who is completely invisible and undetectable, and as far as I know died like 2000 years ago? Might as well ask me to befriend Napoleon Bonaparte.
    1
  8770. So you're trans?
    1
  8771. Your "promised land" is entirely hypothetical. It makes me sad that you feel the need to deny a part of yourself for a reward that might never happen.
    1
  8772. That dishonest hack doesn't need another platform.
    1
  8773. Why would I search for a god? That would imply that I already think there is one, or at least think it's plausible that there is. I don't. It would be more useful to search for Bigfoot since at least that has a blurry photograph going for it.
    1
  8774. No, an idea being old doesn't mean said idea "must have some truth to it".
    1
  8775. So then you have "question marks". How do you get from there to "a god exists"? Got any demonstrable evidence? Because until that point, the default position is to not accept the claim.
    1
  8776. There's only one reliable path: the scientific method. And it hasn't demonstrated the existence of a god yet.
    1
  8777. I read a little about it but I'm not seeing where the science comes in, it just seems like a bunch of supernatural beliefs.
    1
  8778. And what does that have to do with science?
    1
  8779. What?? You're making no sense.
    1
  8780. I asked you to tell me the scientific element of Sikhism and you said that the universe was created by someone with sound, and that's like the big bang somehow? Which, no, it's not. The big bang theory doesn't describe the creation of the universe, let alone anything related to sound. It describes the rapid expansion of the universe from an incredibly dense state. And then when I asked you to elaborate you said that part of science is abandoning science for faith? Like, what? No it isn't. If science can't answer a question about reality, then that question is unanswered.
    1
  8781. Because the scientific method is reliable, and trusting in supernatural claims from ancient texts is not. It's that simple. I don't see the point in this "element of spirituality".
    1
  8782.  @lAM3zKNY  But they didn't.

  8786. It's cool guys! It's fine if you're gay, as long as you arbitrarily live a life of celibacy because our book says so. Have fun dying alone because of bronze age ignorance!

  8787. People decide that. They've always decided that. Which is why the concepts of right and wrong have changed throughout history.

  8788.  @BuildingApologetics  Allegedly. What if this life is all there is? Could you imagine skipping dinner for an amazing dessert you convinced yourself was coming, but never ends up arriving?
    1
  8789. Is it lazy to want fair pay for one's labor? To want healthcare to be a human right? To not want to be at the mercy of the oligarchy's whims?

  8793. We're really going to just construct an additional room in every single building just because a bunch of transphobes are caught up in an irrational moral panic? Should we go back to racially segregated bathrooms as well to placate the racists?

  8794. You've become a sociopathic asshole intent on exploiting the working class for personal gain?

  8795. When you treat or acknowledge someone as a woman, do you ask for a test showing their chromosomal makeup? Do you even know for sure that you yourself have XX chromosomes? Have you checked?
    1
  8796. Why would you believe what an ancient book says without any doubt?

  8798. Why is losing faith a bad thing?
    1
  8799.  @uwotmate-d3m  There's nothing normal about being transphobic. Transphobes are deranged freaks.
    1
  8800. @John Stevens Okay, now do advanced biology and you'll find out that there's intersex people who don't quite fit in the "biological male" or "biological female" box. Then realize that scientists now overwhelmingly agree that gender identity exists separately from sex. Now realize that gender dysphoria exists and overwhelmingly the most effective treatment for it is transitioning, whereas saying "just be grateful for your body" does nothing to alleviate it whatsoever.

  8806. African Americans were literally second class citizens as recently as the 1960s. These things have effects on society long after they're abolished.

    1
  8809. Special pleading.

  8810. I'm glad you liked your own comment enough to give it a like. But if there was really inadequate evidence for evolution, it wouldn't be a scientific theory, it'd be a hypothesis. I'm not aware of any evidence that points to Christianity's supernatural claims being true.

  8813.  @Tamara_Middleton  Are you transgender?
    1
  8814.  @Tamara_Middleton  If there's a label for being trans, wouldn't it make sense for there to be a label for being cis as well? The same way we have gay, bi, etc but straight as well.
    1
  8815.  @zachman5150  You are not part of this conversation. Begone.
    1
  8816.  @Tamara_Middleton  Nobody's saying you're not a woman or demanding that you stop referring to yourself as such. The cis label just means you're not trans. And it's only really relevant in certain contexts anyway. I genuinely don't see what could be offensive about it.
    1
  8817. Bigoted zealot.

  8839.  @austinfurgason3634  We know that houses are built by humans. We have absolutely zero evidence of any kind of intelligent being creating planets. Complexity is not evidence, and neither is awe. You can be awestruck by nature's beauty and recognize that it's full of complex systems while also recognizing that all demonstrable evidence points to everything around us (apart from manmade things obviously) being the result of natural processes.

  8846. Conservatism is a dogshit ideology though.
    1
  8847.  @crackmaninoff  It's "stable" only in that it's inert. Unwilling to improve, because it believes improving society to make it more fair and equal is a bad thing. Because its adherents believe they're better off in a less equal, less fair world.

    1
  8877. Yeah? What about it?
    1
  8878.  @killakrissy  The major scientific organizations all support the notion that gender and sex aren't the same thing. Acknowledging the reality that trans women are women too is not "acting like science isn't real".
    1
  8879.  @killakrissy  Why? If we've got trans women as a subcategory of women, then isn't there utility in also having an adjective for the subcategory of women who identify as the gender they were assigned at birth?
    1
  8880.  @killakrissy  But "woman" could refer to a trans woman as well. Mind you, in the vast majority of contexts it would do perfectly well to simply refer to a woman as a woman, whether they're cis or trans. But in certain contexts it's useful to have a term describing either subcategory.
    1
  8881. Why?
    1
  8882. Sure would be easy to throw anyone who disagrees with you out of the country. Doesn't sound very American though.
    1
  8883.  @angelalevko6556  Yes, birth defects are definitionally natural. You're just using "natural" to mean "what things are supposed to be like". And the thing about nature is that there isn't really a "supposed to be". There's no intent or design. Without mutations, humans would never have come to exist. And again, people don't choose who they're attracted to. You can't refute this. Or are you saying you were entirely asexual until you made a conscious decision to start liking either girls or boys? Nonsensical.
    1
  8884. @angelalevko6556  You keep acting like everyone is straight by default but for gay teens, they feel those feelings for people of the same gender. That's not a choice.
    1
  8885. What's legal isn't necessarily what's right.
    1
  8886.  @CalistaAlvarez  It's an adjective. If you're being referred to as a cis woman, you are being referred to as a woman. Namely, a woman who is cisgender.

  8888. I feel like education on what constitutes rape could be useful. Pretty much everyone knows it's not right to leap from the bushes and force yourself on a stranger, but there's a wider conversation to be had about consent as a concept.

  8891. It's a cult that's so old and widespread that it's been normalized.
    1
  8892. Most people who detransition do so because of a lack of social support or because they financially can't afford the hormones.
    1
  8893.  @oliviairving114  By social support I mean support from the people around them. Family, friends, coworkers, etc. And yes, ceasing transition is what detransitioning means. If a trans person on hormone therapy stops taking it, the effect's going to gradually reverse as their body resumes producing hormones.
    1
  8894.  @josiet199  Hell isn't real though.
    1
  8895. People who don't want to get pregnant do use contraceptives. Contraceptives can simply fail sometimes.

  8904.  @Cozy_Botanicals  All medication has side effects, and puberty blockers are fully reversible.
    1
  8905.  @Cozy_Botanicals  Okay. They should absolutely get access to hormone therapy at the appropriate age.
    1

  8907. What's disrespectful is this other label you've chose, that of "real woman", implying that trans women are not "real women". Your rejection of the term "cis" has nothing to do with your identity, only with your transphobia.

  8917. Do you know why you don't feel the need to openly identify as heterosexual? Because it's the default. People are assumed to be straight and cisgender until there's evidence showing otherwise. LGBTQ+ pride is about existing as openly as straight people do. About not giving into shaming and violence.

Again, look at the roads here in the Netherlands. Well-maintained and safe. I don't understand your assumption that the profit incentive would make for quality roads either. Doesn't the US have a famously shitty internet providers to the point that you generally only have one option wherever you live? And then that company can just give whatever crappy internet they want to while charging as much as they can get away with. How would road providers even compete? If there's a crappy road, is a new business going to build a better one next to it? Are we just going to have roads all over the place of varying qualities and consumers will get to think "Hmm, I'm feeling fancy, gonna take the Tesla road to work today."?

  9097. Charity doesn't redistribute wealth to the degree that's required. The wealthy giving away a tiny percentage of their wealth doesn't nullify the gargantuan amount of wealth they hoard.

Your bubble is only showing you unrest and looting, and not the systemic problems of racism and police brutality that led to this situation. Breonna Taylor's murderers still haven't been charged. Peaceful protesters and journalists these past weeks have been tear gassed and shot with rubber bullets. Black men are being lynched and hanged from trees and the police is just writing it off as "suicide". The current police as an institution does not exist to serve and protect the public, despite (or perhaps partly due to) being given a gargantuan amount of resources. They need to be replaced with something better.

    1
  9158.  @theneutralguy2317  The point is to stop puberty from flooding the body of an adolescent trans person with hormones that cause permanent changes to their body, so that they can decide at a later age if they want to undergo hormone therapy, or if they just want to let puberty take place. Also, the source of that quote is an article on Mayo Clinic's website.
    1
  9159.  @theneutralguy2317  It'll delay it, sure. But for a teen who thinks they might be trans, it's better to be a late bloomer than to permanently be stuck with changes to their body that cause them immense gender dysphoria.
    1
  9160.  @theneutralguy2317  Then they go through puberty. Which, again, would permanently alter their body through the flood of hormones it induces. Potentially causing immense gender dysphoria.

  9252.  @Nanofuture87  Capitalism isn't some sort of natural state of being. People owning capital is a human invention.
    1
  9253.  @Nanofuture87  Ancient humanity lived in groups that cooperated for survival. The first farms were not owned by private individuals who hired employees. Capitalism is a very recent development in the history of humankind. Unless you mean to imply that lords and serfs were just CEOs and workers under different names?
    1
  9254.  @Nanofuture87  How does private ownership of the means of production relate to the quality of life improving? I could maybe see your point on the level that poverty is for a large part now exported to other countries, as sweatshops in Bangladesh and factories in China make the clothes and phones we enjoy in wealthier countries. But I wouldn't say that's a good thing. If anything, it's the boom in technology that has made it so that mankind is more productive than ever. So why do we use that increased productivity for the financial profit of the few, rather than the well-being of the many?
    1
  9255.  @Nanofuture87  When you see people working in sweatshops, rather than being happy they have employment, you should be outraged that the degree of exploitation taking place. Capitalism is better than feudalism, but it's time to move on the next superior system. Especially with climate change looming, we can't afford to keep going like this. A system built on indefinite growth cannot keep existing in the long run. And yes, a few people getting incredibly wealthy means that others are getting less than they should. Where do you think that money's coming from? Just as feudalism ended, capitalism must end.
    1
  9256. ​ @Nanofuture87  You might as well say "if you think slaves should be free, then by all means, purchase them and set them free". The superior system is socialism, in which the workers own the means of production, and decide democratically how much one "should be getting". An actual mutual agreement, rather than a "take this minimum wage job or starve" arrangement. Which of course can vary wildly from country to country, as capitalists will violently oppose workers fighting for a higher standard of living. The minimum wage in Bangladesh, converted to US dollars, is $93. Per month.
    1
  9257.  @Nanofuture87  Because capitalists are doing their very best to keep the status quo. Because they want to remain disgustingly wealthy. Co-ops do exist and they're generally quite successful I believe.

    1
  9264.  @niksterrr1110  Implying there's no coercion in working for a minimum wage is dishonest, as the only alternative is to starve. And at least taxes actually do something useful for people instead of buying Jeff Bezos another golden mansion. Without taxes, would you have roads, schools, fire departments, etc all be privatized? Then have fun having your house burn down because you didn't pay FireCorp the monthly subscription fee.

    1
  9295.  @asaahal  The label applies, whether you like it or not. It's obvious that your stubborn refusal to acknowledge this is rooted in blatant transphobia. How sad.
    1
  9296.  @asaahal  What's specifically transphobic is your insistence that trans women aren't women and that trans men aren't men. Trans people aren't some mysterious third gender. There's men, women, and nonbinary people. And for example, within the category of men there's cisgender men and transgender men. Both of these exist within the men category.
    1
  9297.  @asaahal  Nope, incorrect. Gender and sex aren't the same thing. And transphobia isn't the same thing as a phobia in the general sense, it describes an dislike of or prejudice against trans people.

  9299. Cool

  9300. Except religion also tries to explain the how.
    1
  9301. Why though? Does God only want the gullible people in heaven? Why is it a good thing to believe something without demonstrable evidence?
    1
  9302.  @IssyFishyy  What's the demonstrable evidence?
    1
  9303.  @IssyFishyy  Ok, I see my apartment. Did you hide the evidence in here somewhere?
    1
  9304.  @IssyFishyy  How does the existence of atoms and molecules and whatnot necessitate the existence of a god?

  9305. "Wtf why don't they just bring back segregation"

  9306. Source?

  9307. By who? And does their life then get taken as well? Et cetera?

  9308. I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.

  9309. Cool, I wouldn't want to associate with an irrational homophobe in the first place
    1
  9310. How do you know?
    1
  9311. But the concept of god has not been demonstrated scientifically.
    1
  9312. This is completely insane. I will never understand the American obsession with having lethal weapons all over the place. You should ask yourself why other countries don't have mass shootings every other day.
    1
  9313. What exactly is "not right" about two women or two men being in love? Do you look at two wives and think they're doing something morally wrong?
    1
  9314. What evidence?
    1
  9315. The standard that it should be demonstrable? Or that it should actually be evidence for the claim?
    1
  9316. it's km/s ya dink
    1
  9317. So you think people are just pregnant and planning to abort it but waiting around for multiple months for fun? Do you think they like having a more expensive and complicated procedure?
    1
  9318. You cheer for the liberty to exploit the working class. So are you a millionaire? Or someone who enjoys being exploited?
    1
  9319.  @natethetoe386  What service? The houses already exist, they're just buying them and having other people pay more to live there. They're essentially housing scalpers.
    1
  9320. This isn't just about honoring and remembering, nor is it about anyone apologizing or "paying for sins" or whatever. It's about recognizing the lasting societal effects from slavery.
    1
  9321. What a bizarre notion, practically an anti-scientific and anti-intellectual one. That we should return to ancient ideas, from before the enlightenment.
    1
  9322.  @abdulrazaqal-obaidli4875  What about biology?
    1
  9323.  @m_q802  There's literally nothing wrong with "acting on it".
    1
  9324. Forgive them for what exactly?
    1
  9325. I don't condone human sacrifice.
    1
  9326.  @sw309  That's still immoral, the justice system doesn't exist so people can take revenge
    1
  9327. So cis women who don't get periods aren't women?
    1
  9328.  @cquinn4555  And I love how you dismiss them even though they destroy your definition of womanhood.
    1
  9329.  @Milosevic.  I'm not arguing that cisgender women won can't get periods aren't women. I'm arguing that your notion that womanhood requires periods is false.
    1
  9330. Lmao
    1
  9331. Just like in real life!
    1
  9332. I see. I disagree with your views on sexuality and sexual identity but I'm glad you at least feel like you can live and let live, and respect LGBTQ+ people.
    1
  9333. And why bother to vote when there's two political party who are so established that anything outside the norm doesn't stand a chance, essentially letting you choose between center-right and far-right? I mean, to try and prevent the far-right stuff, I guess, but it's disheartening all the same.
    1
  9334. All of that can be part of the same conversation, can't it?

  9335. Cope

  9337. Demons aren't real

  9338. Why don't you want to be called cis? What's the issue with that specific term?
    1
  9339. How am I gonna see anything when I'm dead? I'm not gonna have a functioning brain attached to my eyeballs.

  9340. Real estate investment is a parasitic industry that profits off the basic human need for shelter.

  9341. Trans women are women who are trans.
    1
  9342. It sounds like you're not in favor of a justice system, but a revenge system.
    1
  9343. True, no point in putting them in videos with insane conservatives all the time

  9344. Brandon already is president, Republicans seem very supportive of him

  9345. Snappingturtle, you literally have the worst healthcare system in the developed world right now.
    1
  9346. I disgree. Capitalism needs to go.
    1
  9347. Then we'd better have some kind of social safety net so people can still live.
    1
  9348. Leave it to Americans to want their kids to learn less at school.
    1
  9349. Fills you with despair, doesn't it?
    1
  9350. I don't think it's healthy to be encouraging gay people to "deal with" their sexuality by acting like there's something wrong with it.
    1
  9351. They're already allowed to use the women's restroom, at least, in places where reactionaries haven't made it illegal yet.
    1
  9352. People who whine about feminists
    1
  9353. There's one on trans women for sure.
    1
  9354. What agenda?
    1
  9355.  @gabetalks9275  There is no cliff.
    1
  9356.  @Lebronwski  Then nobody should care about "sin". It has nothing to do with morality.
    1
  9357.  @alicej7857  Didn't Mother Theresa believe that suffering was a good thing? I've heard some nasty stories about that lady.
    1
  9358.  @adriana12995  What's the difference? The Judeo-Christian deity is the product of humans.
    1
  9359.  @noellealdi881  There's no rational reason to not accept someone being gay. Their sexuality harms no one.
    1
  9360.  @redacted8181  What you describe is called hate.
    1
  9361.  @redacted8181  Humans are the only thing that decide whether an action is immoral or not. Religious people do this too, they just slap a "GOD" label on the ancient humans who said gay people need to have rocks thrown a them.
    1
  9362.  @noellealdi881  Assuming for the sake of argument that the story of Sodom and Gommorah is true, it seems to me like the harmful thing demonstrated there is this mass murdering deity.
    1
  9363.  @alicej7857  Couldn't this god have simply stopped the rape instead of leveling an entire city after the fact killing everyone, including the victim(s) of said rape?
    1
  9364.  @alicej7857  Can't say that I have. I'm just kind of anti-destroying entire cities in general.
    1
  9365.  @alicej7857  But the thing about omnipotence is that this god could snap their figurative fingers and turn every single person there into non-rapists. So why does he choose mass murder? Why does he murder even the kids whose only crime is having been raised in a bad environment? "There is no way to remove that wickedness"? I thought we were talking about a god here!

  9366. JUST OBEY BRO AND THEY WON'T MURDER YOU BRO

  9368. If you're a capitalist, you're either a wealthy person or you've been convinced by wealthy people that you'll be one of them one day. A better world is possible, but you've been convinced by those who benefit from the current system that you don't want a better world.

  9369.  @cooper8318  As we all know, there's only capitalism and North Korea, and nothing in between.

  9370. Anarcho-capitalism would be a true hellscape. Corporations doing whatever the fuck they want as far as the eye can see.
    1
  9371. Disgusting.
    1
  9372. Seems pretty horrible to want to murder someone out of a sense of frugality of all things.
    1
  9373.  @jacrispy8802  Not the victim's family, but all of society. And we do that so that people who pose a threat to others can be seperated from the rest of society.
    1
  9374.  @jacrispy8802  Who said anything about torture?

  9375. And that reality should be changed.

  9377. Trans women are women who are trans. Pretty simple.

  9378.  IssyFishyy  Nah I'm pretty sure they did all the work. Both through the sex and through the uncontrolled natural processes that happen inside the human body.
    1
  9379.  IssyFishyy  All evidence seems to point to evolution. If you wanna claim a god did it, please do demonstrate it.

  9381. What, the 1st amendment doesn't count for people who aren't born there?

  9382.  @Primitivebearknives  Well you seem to be saying that immigrants shouldn't be critical of the United States or express any fondness for their country of origin.

  9383. Cool

  9384. And guns make it super easy for people to kill people.
