PopeBeanie and Unseen,

I know it does sound utopian.  Maybe a more realistic possibility is if already-existing third parties got State and Federal court rulings against the strict and onerous ballot access laws that keep third parties from standing against the Demopublican-Republicratic duopoly.

Such ballot access laws do inhibit the ability…[Read more]

Hi Heather! Been a while 🙂

Fellow  Unbelievers,

One thing is for certain: No one in the SJW/BLM/Antifa movements can blame any of this on Atheism as a concept or as a movement:

North Charlotte church now linked to over 100 COVID-19 cases, 3…[Read more]

God claims tend to be self-refuting so I don’t take the time to even examine them – anymore.  If anyone has heard a god-claim that they don’t think is self refuting, I would be interested in hearing it – but please, at least take the time to examine the claim for yourself first.

Here is a good video from Sunday School earlier this month. An infinite pattern that never repeats.

I’m not sure how you’d get rid of parties in a free society. I’m sure something would crop up to support candidates that would resemble parties.

Yes, my fractal program example is, paradoxically, an “in principal” example. A thought problem.

Infinity is a complicated subject because there are many kinds of infinities (maybe even an infinite number of them LOL).

And what about the moebius strip, an object with only two dimensions which can’t exist in two dimensions?

Fellow Unbelievers,

You know, I think these flyers are already having an impact even before they have even spread.  Even Big Papa Francis is railing against the ideas therein:

Pope at Audience: No to ‘Practical Atheism, That Everyday Atheism’

Pope at audience: No to “practical atheism, that everyday atheism”

Me voted.

First time Charley.

Watched the debate. Me am thinking how scintillating those candidates are. The best and the brightest. Plato’s Philosopher Kings.

I’m close to believing that, I just don’t know how to make it happen. I think the founders of USA had no idea how two-party politics would be able to hang on to power and then corrupt…[Read more]

Pope Beanie,

Again, parties wouldn’t go for it, but if more candidates tried running without parties  and had wonderful ideas, perhaps it would draw support away from party establishments  and drew attention o…[Read more]

Pope Beanie,

An electoral system might better address the disgruntled with better results if there were a “None Of The Above” option.

Under this option, if the majority vote for “None Of The Above ” for a particular office, all parties running candidates for the office would have to go back to the drawing board and pick better candidates.

1) Only if the computer (ironically) requires infinitesimal energy; 2) Or any object with circularity.

What if the only meaning of “infinity” is that there can be nothing larger (or smaller) within the context wherein it refers to a quantity? E.g. if a Big Bang starts off with infinite density in infinitesimal space and time, assuming no other…[Read more]

Soooo many people just went to the voting booth thinking “what the hell, our vote’s not going to change anything anyway, why not protest the system and throw a monkey wrench into it”!

Yes, I think that is a good observation. Trump did have his core MAGA supporters who made all the noise and got all the limelight but I do think the majority of hi…[Read more]
