The goal should not be the absence of disagreement, but the presence of robust dialogue.Likewise, it’s unproductive to seek to silence people we disagree with, in good faith. It’s more productive to engage with them and debate.

Enco i don’t see it.
I read a book about the Concordat and it is fuzzy now but the support from both Lutheran and Catholic Church was strong. Yet it was not i think indispensable. You might wonder what would have happened if it had been denounced by either superstition.
Thing is irrational thoughts tend to come in bunches, and tend to r…[Read more]

As if city life is worse now than the 60s and 70s. Then the cities were deprived of funds during the decades long white exodus out to the burbs but when that was found the be too boring, the trend reversed and wealthy whites wanted back in, redevelopment and rents went up, the propaganda started when Karens and Kens smelled too much…

PopeBeanie,
I’m noticing that the opinionator you speak of represents, in ratio, about the same representative minority of atheists we might see in a roomful of Americans. I mean there’s some kind of fallacy of logic here, maybe like “appeal to authority”.

And it was not primarily a Christian movement or spurred by it notwithstanding Lutheranism or the Concordat.
Here’s where you’re mistaken about Nazism. It couldn’t have gotten as far as it did without support from both Catholic and Protestant religion. The Nazis also got support from Occultism such as Madame Blavatsky, who gave them the…[Read more]

Enco there are maybe 5 people who are regular contributors. And how many read our scribbles? Twice that? None. IDK. Gotta be negligible. Am i rite?
You might be right, but I did want to practice some alliterative allusions and maybe get some creative call back. I guess “scribbles” and “negligible” in close proximity counts.

Robert,
At this point one has to admit that the infantile Palestinian culture has been victimized by brainwashing, shitty education, a cult of personality (Arafat) and cult-indoctrination. Far be it for any American to criticize them at this point. Christian Nationalism is no better than Islamic fundamentalism and here we are. The “Find Out” is…

Great posts on Gaza and Palestinianism as always. But if it was in reply to me and Robert, you posted on the wrong thread. This might confuse people just getting here.
Continuity makes for greater equanimity and a greater chance of your ideas of polity and society getting ubiquity and amity, amirite?

Hitler and Mussolini leveraged “National Christian Values” and were both hardcore Nationalists. Trump does the same thing. None of them were/are religious but they knew how to find useful idiots.
